Kia Ora, I am the grandaughter of Alice Lizzie Rudolph. I am named Roberta after Robert Rudolph, I presume John Robert Rudolph? All of your names are familiar to me. I visited the home in Grey Lynn many times as a child. Iam currently researching our whakapapa and would welcome any info on the family particularly more info on Wilhelm Rudolph.
