I've heard rumors from my father that the Danekes family split; one side to America, the other to Indonesia. This is the closest I've come to the name. Do you know the beginning of your side's history. When and where from they emmigrated? 2006-01-31 21:11:41Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/15.2/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/16/mb.ashx I was wondering if anyone know a Jimmy Danekas.

My grandparents live in South Dakota. My grandfather is Walt. Are there any Danekas' out there that know him or are related to him? 2001-09-27 18:52:10Z MercedesDanekas http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/15/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/14.1.1/mb.ashx Oh my God! I don't believe this! Actually, I'm not sure this IS my line......I believe the BRAUER is correct-in fact, a great-uncle was said to have used that spelling all his life-Clarence H. Brower.<br><br>My notes: Hike Brauer m. Gepke Denikus (misspelled?). Both born in Holland, buried Bloomington, Ill. I've no proof, but I think Hike "Americanized" his name to Henry<br><br>I searched Gepke Denikus on cyberillinois marriage site and found Henry Brower m. Gebke Danekes 10/11/1853. There's also Hanri Brower m. Gebke Danekes, but it's the same file. It seems that, maybe, they tried to correct BRAUER, the clerk didn't quite get it right, and BROWER began! . I've sent for the marriage cert., but haven't received it yet,<br><br>Children: Mary, Fanny, Ana, Margaret, Henry, Gerad, William, Henry. Notice the two Henry's. I assumed the last was William Henry, but now I'm beginning to think that there WAS two Henry's in this family. Is that possible?<br><br>I have the Will of Gerad Brower that verifies all but two of the children, but I'll stop the names for now. Do these people look familiar to you? :&lt;) niner<br><br> 2001-08-28 06:43:52Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/14.1.1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/13.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx I would love to get together.

The most I could find was an obit from a Washington, IL paper from Jan 1910 for Wirtie Daenekas: <br>"Wirtie Daenekas was born in East Friesland, Germany, Dec 3, 1818. He came to this country in 1857, settling on a farm west of Washington. The same year he was married to Engel Lenes who died in 1886 leaving no children. He was the oldest of a large family and has survived all but a brother Robert, who lives in the West, and a sister, Mrs. Annie Statz of Kewanee, Ills., both of whom were present at the funeral.<br>His death was occasioned by old age, being between 88 and 89 years old. Though not robust, his death was sudden and a great surprise to family and friends. He had lived for a number of years in the family of his niece, Mrs. Casper Oertle, near Farmdale." <br>Mrs Casper Oertle was my great-grandmother and I remember my grandmother talking about how they always had some family living with them. I would like more information about Wirtie, Robert, Annie, and Folkert (my gg-grandfather). Do you know who thier parents were? Do you know anything about Folkert's generation? 2001-08-26 16:10:56Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/13.1.1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.danekas/14/mb.ashx Looking for info:<br>Henry Brower m.
