About Gustav August Hermann Rockel

Gustav Rockel's biological father

There is a theory that Gustav's father was a Hohenzollern prince:
Prince Albert of Prussia 1809-1872

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Albert_of_Prussia_(1809%E2%80%931872)

As yet there is no proof of such a connection. A group of possible descendants have done autosomal DNA-testing and share some DNA-segments.There are plans of a book describing the results and findings in detail, which could possibly support the claim. Until such evidence is presented, the profiles should not be linked.
