Otto Bruno Gorenflo (Jacques branch)
Hello-
I have traced my lineage back to Jacques deGorenflo, and though I have dates, I don't have much biographical information to bring my ancestors to life. Here is what I have since my ancestors came to America:
My first ancestor to come to the US was Otto Bruno, b. 1834, who Emmigrated from Friedrichstal, Germany to NY on April 25, 1853 with his brother, Gustav. Otto married Elisabeth Sutter and had 4 childrn: Josephine (b. 1866) , Caroline (b. 1870), Karl (1873-1958) and Edward (my great-great grandfather; b 1867). I would love more info on both Otto and Edawrd, who became estranged from the family. I don't have death dates or burial sites for them.
Edward married Anna Belle Brown and had 4 children: Henry (1891-1965, Married Jesse 1897-1962), Lillian (b 1893 married Stanley Jacobs), Edward (1896-1963, married Edith b. 1898) and Ferdinand Henry (my great grandfather, 1890-1941)
Ferdinand married Hannah Thersa Moriarty (1890-1970), and had 2 children: Lillian and Ferdinand (my grandfather 1912-1976).
Any relatives out there with more info on German or American born Gorenflo's, or who just want to introduce yourselves- I'd love to hear from you!
