I saw Dan's message - first one I've seen on this list, but I haven't been on for long. Here's my Fink family, in case anyone is listening. The family lived in Joliet, Illinois; Rock Island, Illinois, and Davenport, Iowa. Jacob Fink, b. about 1829 in Bavaria or Wurtemmberg married Genevieve Esea(?), b. about 1832 in Switzerland Children of Jacob and Genevieve: Sophia, b. 1854 in Ohio Frank, b. about 1856 in Michigan Clara, b. 14 Feb 1859 in Joliet, Will County, Illinois (married John McDonald) Jacob, b. 1865 probably in Rock Island County, Illinois Jennie Francis, b. Apr 1870 probably in Rock Island, Illinois Either Sophia or Jennie married a J.F. Zorn and was living in Los Angeles in 1922. Jacob and Genevieve divorced sometime between 1870 and 1880, and I haven't been able to find Jacob after 1870. --John McDonald
