Heinrich Herman Renken was born 1792 in Oldenburg, Germany. He is listed in the 1860 census as living in the 8th ward of Milwaukee with the occupation as a milkman. His wife, Anna, is buried at Forest Home cemetery in 1876 under the name of Anna Reuken. Where is Herman buried? Is anyone else researching this surname? The family were original members of St. Stephen's Lutheran church in Milwaukee. Are the microfilm records at UWM as listed in their catalog as St. Stephen's Catholic church? Thanks in advance. Eileen

I attended St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in the 1950's. It is my understanding that St. Stephens has not allowed its records to be microfilmed by anyone. Have you tried contacting the church itself to see where its records are located and how to access them?
