Hi Karen,
I am so excited. I think maybe we have connection here. How yet, I'm not sure. My
main research is the RINKEL line. The obituary of Jennie was found in my G uncles
belongings, so I know we are related in some way.
I am looking for parents/siblings/anybody on my GG Grandfather's side. Henry RINKEL
m. Dorothea KOHLBERG, only Child I can find is my Ggrandfather: Henry Walter RINKEL: b 27
Nov 1850 (Hanover, Germany) d 17 Dec 1929 m. Henritta KRUSE.
I am thinking maybe your Henry E. is brother/cousin to my Henry W. I don't think it
was uncommon to use the same names for their children then.
Henry W. and Henritta had 6 children: Lillie & Lydia (Twins), Elmer, Henry G., Walter
M. (my grandfather) and Frieda.
We have ties in Indiana and Illinois. Also, My Grandfather named my Father Walter
"George" and my aunt "Eva".
In my GGgrandfather Henry's obituary, it mentions a niece Lizzie (who married a
Fenske) and a nephew W.O. Conrad. Not sure which side of the family these two are on. I
am thinking maybe they are children of a Sister. Just guessing though.
Please contact me via Email...SavdGrace(a)aol.com. Maybe we can figure this out together.
Thank you so much.
