POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP
via email from Cheryl Johnson Ludecke, 9-13-07
Hello,
My name is Cheryl Johnson Ludecke. I have a great uncle who was named Arthur Johnson. He was the son of the US Consul to Germany, Charles F. Johnson. Arthur was born in 1874 in Cincinnati, Ohio and died in 1954 in Berlin, Germany. Could this be the Arthur Johnson who you are looking for?
