Freidrich Heinrich Christophe Henke b. 9/24/1836
As part of a lot I purchased at an estate sale in Milford, IL, a baptismal certificate for the above individual, signed by the pastor of the church in Reelkirchen was included.This certificate, which is lovely, was framed.
If anyone researching the Henke family is interested, I'd by happy to give it or send it to them.
I'm in Chicago, so if you're interested, just let me know by e-mail and we'll sort out the delivery.
This certificate was obviously cherished by quite a few generations and I have no idea why it would be included for auction; and I'd much prefer it staying in the family of this man's descendants.
