KRIENKE / KNOOP.

[-sd-]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I know about my gggrandparents. My gggrandfather's name was
Friedrich KRIENKE * ca. 1836 / 1837 in Prussia. He emigated to the US, landing
in Detroit, MI, sometime in July 1868 and moving to Packwauke, Marquette, WI,
with his wife Minnie and son Friedrich Jr.

They had 3 sons born to them in Wisconsin
Julius KRIENKE * in March 1870,
John KRIENKE * in 1872 / 1873,
Ernest Gustav KRIENKE * on Dec. 18, 1875 / 1876, my g grandfather.

Friedrich Jr was born approximately 1866 / 1867 in Prussia.
On 1870 census his age was given as 3.

I do not know the ship's name they sailed on, or where they departed from.
I also am not sure whether they were Catholic or Lutheran, as my aunt remem-
bered attending Mass as a young child, but my mother never mentioned a reli-
gious affiliation.

On Friedrich KRIENKE's Sr. 2nd marriage certificate,
his parents name are listed as John and Rosina KRIENKE.

Friedrich KRIENKE Sr. died on May 6, 1901 in Packwaukee. The death notice
gives his age as 72, which must have been an error. Fiedrich KRIENKE was
found on the LDS site, giving a birth year of 1836 in Posen, Prussia, marrying
Dorothea Wilhelmine KNOOP on March 9, 1862 and having a daughter,
Auguste Luise KRIENKE in Jan. 1863 and a son Friedrich A. KRIENKE in Sept.
1866.

It doesn't give his parents names, however,
so I am not sure if this is my ggrandfather.

I hope this helps to narrow it down some.
Thank you so much for any info you can provide.
