Hello - You had asked about Jacob Schunk, who lived in Nebraska.I am pleased to find someone who is also connected to this line of my ancestors.I will share what I believe to be some of the facts about them.Jacob Schunk was born in 1828, the son of Jakob Schunk and Louisa Schwarz.The family was from the village of Mimbach, Pfalz, Bavaria and were Protestant, rather than Catholic, as so many in Bavaria were at that time.The Mormon records include a large number of people from Mimbach named Schunk, as well as from neighboring Weibenheim, which was nearby and part of the same church parish.
It appears that Jakob and Louisa had children: Ludwig 1826, Jacob 1828, Louise 1836, Catharina 1838 and Jacobine 1843.Jacob Schunk (1828) married Caroline Schneider (1830) in September 1851; their first child, Jacob born in 1853, was christened at Mimbach on 30 May 1853.This Jacob (1853) was the one who eventually settled in Nebraska.Caroline was a daughter of Georg Schneider and Marie Elisabethe Schmidt; children include Catharina 1819, Phillip 1823, Marie 1828, Karolina 1830, and Daniel 1839.Jacob, Caroline and toddler son Jacob arrived in the US about 1856, eventually settling near Wayside, in Brown county, Wisconsin.They were farmers.
I am interested in knowing your connection to this family - perhaps you have additional information that would be of interest, if you are willing to share what you know.Best wishes and good luck in your search.Mary Heck
