Of interest to RODEKOHR descendants may be a post on an ancestry message board, where it was thought that Dorothea (RODEKOHR) KAMMEYER had a rare hereditary genetic disease called Von Hipple Landau Syndrome. This disease includes tumors of the brain, kidney, adrenal gland and pancreas.[9]  Attempts have been made to contact the person posting this message without success.
