Schwenke born 03/22/1844. Birth place may have been Germany (Anholt). Ships records said that they last resided in Leopoldshall-city Germany(Stassfurt city area). I would like to hear from any one who may have information on their birth town or place of birth. I would also like information on relatives such as Mother, Father, Sisters and Brothers. Left Europe for United State in 1882. They had five (5) children who came with them to America. If this is of interest, please reply back to Genealogy forum. Thanks
