Thanks for the inquiry. My Carl Jahnke was born early 1800's and died late 1850's. According to a family paper, written in the 1920's, his wife Augustine (born 2 Nov 1816) traveled with family to the United States in the 1880's, stopping off in Sebastpol, Canada,(he wrote phonetically) to see relatives. They spent the whole winter there. Does that place sound like something to you? They then moved to Nebraska, United States. There were at least five children, one being Carl, which married a Paulina Knittel The name in America took on various spellings - Jaenike, Yaenike, Janike.
