Message Board Post:
Verna, I found your inquiries of Venne. Udo Thoerner published his extensive data of over
2000 emigrants from Venne in his 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 know that his book
will fill many of the family history gaps we all seem to have. and as said by another
poster, this was Udo's legacy to!
all us Venne descendents.
