Menke, Bernard Cincinnati, Ohio

My wife's grandfather was also Bernard Menke.His son, Maurice Bernard Menke was my wife's father.To her knowledge, Bernard had one brother -- Fred.Bernard apparently went to Dayton, Ohio (she thinks from Oldenburg [?], Germany), then settled in Greenville, Ohio where he died.Fred was "lost" after he moved to Indiana and the family lost track of him.
Bernard married Susannah Bashore and had five sons and two daughters -- Joseph, Maurice Bernard, Jacob, Orval H., Chester, Anna, and Ida.
We know very little about my wife's family, so probably this is merely coincidence.To her knowledge there was no one named John in the family.
