Descendant of Julius Schwenke
 by SandyW on 2007-08-13 17:34:46 Add SandyW as a friend SandyW's...  Profile Research Contact | Looking for Schwenke Ancestors from Germany. Julius Schwenke is my g.g.grandfather who was born I believe 8 Oct, 1830 in Hanover, Germany. His father's name was Karl Schwenke, born abt 1797 in ??, Germany. From what I've been told, Karl and wife and their son Julius traveled from Germany to New York when Julius was about 7 years old. When Julius was older, he traveled to Western Samoa and married my g.g.grandmother, Peleise Nanai. I am looking for any information on this German/Schwenke line. If Julius had any siblings? The name of the ship they boarded. Karl's wife's name and anything beyond....

Punipuao on 2007-10-17 04:56:41Dear Sandy, I am a descendant of Julius Schwenke he was my g.g.g.g.grandfather. Our family doesn't have any record's of any siblings, nor do we know the name of Karl's wife. But we do know that Karl's father was Christian Gottlip Schwenke, born: 30 Aug 1767, Died: 27 Oct 1822. My Family come from from Julius's son John Schwenke, my parents migrated from Samoa to NZ. If you have any questions feel free to ask and ill try my best to help.
Good luck.

allycat on 2007-10-17 07:19:00Sandy / Punipuao, I just checked GenesReunited website for SCHWENKE born worldwide, and did you know there are 9 pages of data or 175 search results?
In particular, one lady named Heather Schwenke (!) has ancestor Julius SCHWENKE born 1830 Hanover, Germany in her family tree. It is not a free website, membership costs under $20 Aussie dollars/year. It's a fantastic website. I have my tree there too.

Dear Sandy, Join up as a free member (keep same username in case anyone is looking for you) of RootsChat then goto their Emigrants to United States board. Cut 'n paste this journal into a new topic at rootschat and wait for some replies.
Tip: If you know of your Samoan ancestry, it would be helpful even to post it here as you may get some 'hits' from genealogists who are researching their genealogy on the internet.
Good luck.
