My KONRAD Connection

Hello, My KONRAD Connection is this branch of KONRAD'S that resided in the town of Lemont Illinois circa 1865-1890 that is known so far. I am the great granddaughter of Kathrine Angeline(KONRAD)HURCKES who is the daughter of Barthold KONRAD and Elizabeth (MEYER) KONRAD and the sibling of: Peter, Anna, Elizbeth, Magdalina, Margaret, Mary, Matthew. Not much is known about them except the fact my great grand mom resembles somewhat the tv weatherman on WGN-tv Chicago. Not sure but have heard his family is from the Lemont area as well. Barthold (Bartholomew)(Bart)was a shoemaker working with my great great grandfather Christian HURCKES I believe, and my great grandfather whom Kathrine married, John Francis HURCKES. If you know of any connections and or information connecting this branch to their homeland would greatly apprecaite it.
Thank You! Eleanor Hurckes hurckeseleanor@msn.com
