I found your inquiries on Toppe from Venne, which was spelled Topie. Udo Thoerner included
more than a dozen Topies in index with spouses and immigration dates in his extensive
reference book Venne in America, English edition pub 2008. Your Johann Friedrich Wilhelm
Topie (1832)and Cathrine Marie Luise Möhlenkamp (1835)are listed. Udo 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. The book is a MUST for anyone researching Venne. 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 Sachtlebe!
n families. They emigrated to Illinois and Indiana and Ohio. I hope this information
helps.
