Hi, Janet, I have read your correspondence with Jon Teske. He has been the most reliable commentator on the wanderings of those bearing the name, and he is right about the preponderance of immigrant Teskes in the midwestern and north-central states. I belong, however, to a family which came over in the late 1880's and early 1890's, settling in Plymouth, PA In a message dated 7/16/2014 11:31:01 A.M.

I've been trying (and failing terribly) to trace my Teske ancestry. It seems there are a lot of Teskes in the midwest, but not too many of us in Connecticut other than my immediate family, and we're not very big. I have been trying to find out if there is any connection between the Wisconsin and Illinois Teskes and the Connecticut ones, but I haven't found anything yet. Do you know if there is any connection?
