I found your inquiries of Pleggenkuhle from Venne. Udo Thoerner included about 10
Pleggenkuhle and a few Loester 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. Please
reply if you think our families may be connected.
