I found your inquiries of Gildehaus from Venne. Udo Thoerner included three Gildehaus
immigrants in his extensive reference book Venne in America, English edition pub 2008. He
died suddenly in 2009 after we located distributor for books in US. The book is filled
with important data on the immigrants--why they left Venne, the immigration journey itself
and their lives in Venne and in America with many personal stories about the families that
Udo collected over 20 years of research. You can order the book from Hamilton County
Chapter of Ohio Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 15865, Cincinnati, Ohio 45215. Write check
for $32, incl $4 postage, to HCCOGS. We have visited Venne several times now for
husband's family Buening (Büning) and neighboring Engter for Tepe and Sachtleben
families. They emigrated to Illinois and Indiana and Ohio. I don't think our families
are related, but I have been promoting Udo's book since he did such complete research
on the entire Venne community immig!
rants.
