Yes, I'm still here. I do have a copy of Udo's book. He and his wife have
devoted the last years of his life to this book. In my opinion the Thörner's were
sent here to the USA by the good Lord to help our younger generation learn who our
immigrant ancestors were, and why they decided to come. For my family, it meant that my
grandmother, who was a second generation immigrant, was able to meet with the
Thörner's twice before she passed on at the age of 105. With them he brought two
relatives, each from the family of her father and her mother. Some of the things we
learned, she had kept from us for 80 years - and it wasn't pretty. I would advise
anyone who reads this query thread to go to the Hamilton Co., Ohio, website to order one
of his books because it is a must-have for any descendant from Venne.
