John Lindenberger 1754-1817 RI
SCOTT SPRAGUE 12/05/99
Although the name differs slightly I would like to know if anyone has any info. on Lindenberg.My grandfather, Hugo, was born in Syke Germany and came to the USsometime around 1878, lived in Cincinnati. He died in 1941. He married Blanche Benheim and had two daughters, Ruth and my mother, Jean.
I believe he may have married once before Blanche. Children/descendents? Not sure.
His brother changed his name to Barnettor Burnett and moved to Chicago.
Here's the odd part: My mother was watching TV when the Oklahoma City bombing trial was being televised and saw a man who looked just like her father and was from OK City.She called info. and found someone named George Lindenberg or Lindenberger and called him.As she explained it to me the conversation didn't go well.She very hard of hearing, so whether she didn't understand or he was reticent to speak to her I'll never know.
If anyone can help me with info. I'd be grateful.
