Karl Rove -- Carl Roever

It does appear that some apologies may be in order ... my transmitting to several lists the Al Martin "Raw" allegation that Karl Rove is the grandson of the Nazi-era Gauleiter of Oldenburg was certainly premature, and I do very sincerely apologize for it.

Historian and scholar Michael Rademacher of Germany is the author of a book about Roever. His statement here makes it very unlikely that Roever's recognized or traceable descendants include a grandson.

What we have here is apparently a similarity in name only. My own research also uncovered the fact that Rove is a name known in Scandinavia.
