Heinrich "Henry" Warnecke was born in Germany. He had a son named Francis "Frank" Warnecke (28 Apr 1857) who was born in Wallenhorst Osnabruk Niedersachsen Germany and another child, Christian Warnecke, unsure if male or female (born in 1862). I have no date of birth for Henry Warnecke but can guesstimate he could have been between the ages of 20 and 50 making him born between 1807-1837. A genealogist gave us the name of Mary Anna Schwalenberg (born about 1837) as Henry's wife. A cousin discovered the name of Regina Hannover as Henry's wife from death records. I've been unable to locate any information about Henry Warnecke, or either of the wive's names that have been given to me. Anyone with information, please reply to this thread.

Henry Warnecke's son, Frank Warnecke came to the U.S, in 1875 at the age of 17. He married Mary Adelheid Revermann (21 Aug 1865 - 10 Dec 1890) on April 21, 1885. Together they had 3 children, Mary (15 Jan 1886-15 Jan 1886), Ben Warnecke (01 Mar 1888 - 08 Aug 1972), and Catharina (Dec 1890 - 24 Jul 1891)and lived in Clinton County, Illinois. Mary Adelheid Revermann died 10 Dec 1890 as a complication of childbirth (from Catharina)

On 17 May 1892, Frank married Mary Elling (also spelled Uling). Mary Elling was born 26 May 1870 and had 6 children with Frank: Henry, Elizabeth, Theodore, George Henry, Frank J., and Herman. Together they also raised Ben from Frank's previous marriage.

If anyone has information or photos for any of these individuals, please respond to this thread. I have photos of most of these people with the exception of Henry Warnecke, Mary Anna Schwalenberg, and Regina Hannover.
