Hi Kathy,
It's been a while since you posted the inquiry but if you're still interested, my great grandfather's name was also Henry Hinrichs but from Madison, Wisconsin. Here's some names and dates you can check to see if there are any connections. I never realized that there were so many Hinrichs' around!
Henry Hinrichs, born: 1834 in Germany, died: 1896 in Madison, WI.
His father: Gummel A. Hinrichs, born 1802 in Germany, died: 1892 Madison, WI.
His mother: Janke Jansen, born 1807 in Germany(?)(the name sounds very Danish), died: 1854 Madison, WI.
Siblings: (all born in Germany, died in Madison, Wisconsin)
Marten Hinrichs 1834-1896
Edo Hinrichs 1831-1907
Margretha E. (Meta) Hinrichs 1839-1920
All of the above emmigrated to USA arriving in Madison, Wisconsin in 1847. They were one of the five founding German families of the city, according to Jack Holzhueter, Wisconsin Historical Society. The men were cabinetmakers and boat builders by profession. The family was Catholic.
Henry'son (my grandfather): Edward Adolf Hinrichs, born: 1882 Madison, WI, died: 1957 Madison, WI. He was the rebel of the family. He married a Norwegian Lutheran girl, Jennie Lund Severson of Cazenovia, Wisconsin in 1921, abondoning the Catholic church. They had twin sons in 1927, Edward (my father) and Arthur Hinrichs. Ed later became editorial cartoonist/staff artist for 'The Capital Times' and Art was the newspaper's sports editor/columnist.
There is also Otto Hinrichs, of the same generation as Henry, who is buried in Lodi, Wisconsin. I know he's a relative but I don't know any specifics.
I was born in 1952. I've been a designer of sustainable "green" buildings for almost 40 years. I also specialize in historical restoration.
