A cousin has just come across an old map and on the back were the following names:
Otto Rinke, St. Louis, engraver; brothers Julius Rinke, Paul Rinke (sailor), Morris Rinke; neice Mildred Rinke; Bill - 2 brothers George, Ben.
My grandfather was Willie/William Rinke (b. 1883 Germany; d. 1970 KY - lived in IN). The above names were probably written while talking with my grandfather. We think Otto, Julius, Paul and Morris may have been cousins of my grandfather.
My grandfather's parents were Carl and Louisa Reise Rinke of Altentreptow and Berlin, Germany.
Any information or suggestions greatly appreciated - thanks - Mary
