[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Steinke's

[Jennifer Walker]

I also have Steinke's in my family tree.  I wonder if we can share more
names?  I do have a Rudolph Steinke in my tree, but he was born about
1843, and I see that he died June 30, 1843 in Ozorkow, Leczyca, Kalisch,
Poland.  I know that this part of the family spent much time in
Volhynia, but then came to settle in the Benton Harbor, Michigan area,
and surrounding townships.  I have over 125 Steinke's in my family tree,
so perhaps we should try to see what commonalities we share, rather than
post all of it here.

My parents sponsored a Steinke family from the Sompolno area of Poland 
after World War II.  They lived on our farm (just southeast of Edmonton,

Alberta) for one year (about 1947/1948) and worked as farm labourers for
my 
father.  Then they moved to Edmonton and he worked at Gainer's Meat
Packing 
Plant.

The names of the family members were Rudolph, his wife Helena, and a son

named Bruno.  I believe that Bruno may still be alive and living in
Edmonton.

Helena had two sisters, Lydia Cywinski and a Mrs. Badke, and a 
sister-in-law, Florence Janke (and her four sons) who also lived in
Edmonton.
