I have Catharina Macke Grunding (widow) who married Ferdinad Vornbrock in New York before they moved to Meire Grove in 1872. They had one son, John, who died and then Catharina died also - abt 1842. Buried in St. John's Cemetery, Meire Grove. Ferdinad remarried a Mrs. Kemp (?) and started his 3rd family. Catharina Macke Grunding (from Germany) was the wife of Anton Grunding and mother to Johann Heinrich Grunding (Henry, Hy)(all born Germany), who was my grandfather. I have been trying to get information about Catharina and her daughters - Johanna Grunding and Josepha Grunding - Johanna married George Mairose (they had no children and I have no information on their family) and Josepha Grunding who married Henry Dueker (I have their family history). Some of the children of Johann Heinrich Grunding/Gruending and Catharina Macke Grunding/Gruending made their way to Saskatchewan, Canada to homestead in the early 1900's mostly around St. Benedict and Cudworth areas. I am also trying to get information on Catharina's burial in Meire Grove and any other information that I can get my hands on about her and her siblings - Bernard Macke and Wilhemenia Macke who married Theodore Werre. Anybody have any information on these families? Diane in Saskatchewan, Canada
Diane - The Stearns Co Gravestone CD lists a number of Vornbrocks... I suspect your Catherina is the Katherina born 1850 and died 1893 (I assume your estimated date was a typo). Ferdinand is also listed. Their son John is most likely the one listed as Johnny Vornbroke. In the list below, 65 is the cemetery # for the Meire Grove, St. John's cemetery. (27 is in New Munich; 8 in Sauk Centre).
