  Theory: The name "Gerhardt Adolf Schweer" comes from the transcribed "Vergissmeinnicht" book of the Albers/Dress/Schwallenberg family, which lists a birthdate but not a birth year for him; it's the only name in the transcription to lack a birth year. Since the book does not list relationships, it's possible that, rather than representing the father of the Schweers, that entry might instead represent a fourth son who was born and died the same year. However, according to a scrapbook from the Schwalenbergs, 'Gerhardt Adolph Schweer" was the name of Herb & Hugo's father.
