Hi Amy,
Wow, it's good to hear from you.I had almost forgotten about my post! And as a matter of fact, I was just researching this line just now.
Does the name Senneke tie in at all? Emil b. 1870 in Prussia(Germany) was my great grandpa. His daughter by Emilie Graf (Alma Emilie Bubolz) was my grandma. He died in 1940 in Aurora and his wife Katherine , nee Peters, first married name Senneke, died in1947. Can you email me at muskie@mtaonline.net? Much too complicated for this forum and I can send you a file with my findings as far as census goes. I am sure these families are connected and I think we can beat this together!
Regards,
Dawn
