Different topics at this week's #grandma recording session: She talked about a local guy named Karl Ganter, who went to #NewZealand in his forties and returned right before World War I. He said he was living for 40 years in Germany and didn't have a thing and then in NZ made money with sheep, that he will never need to work again. I really found a Karl Ganter from #Pongaroa selling all his sheep in February 1914 and leaving New Zealand in April 1914. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers?phrase=2&items_per_page=10&snippet=true&query=karl+ganter
