Bruene - Hesse (Waldeck) GER
Any descendants of Carl and Christiana (Figge) Bruene, who lived in the areas of Rhenegge, Ardorf, and Benkhausen, please e-mail me at [email protected] for the full baptism names of Christiana Figge, who I believe to have been born between 1825 and 1832, and according to her granddaughter, Emelie Stede (in a 1977 letter to a relative here in the States) was born at Benhausen Place.Christiana married Carl Bruene sometime about 1850.They had the following children:Ernst, born 1851; Carl, born 1852; Karolina, born 1859 and died 1931, and married Christian Stede; Friederika, who married a Pohlmann; Johanette, born 1863; Luise; and Christian Friedrich.I should like to find birth, death and baptism information on this family, and am led to believe that one of the Ortssippensbuchs has that information contained within it.Would be happy to exchange information on the branches of the family that emmigrated to the US.
