Message Board Post:
I found your inquiries of Gildehaus from Venne. Udo Thoerner included your Gerhard
Frederick Gildehaus and his wife 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. You may
have heard about Udo's book by now since your 2006 post, but his purpose in publishing
extensive genealogy lists was so f!
amily historians would have access to church and civil records. Hope this helps.
