Jahnke, from Germany to Neb + IA, to Canada
I have August Jahnke b. 1857 in Germany; marr Mary Ann Olson in MN; moved to Box Butte Co., NEb in 1890, may have lived in town of Alliance and possibly operated livery stable.Had many children.Three of the sons moved to Iowa about 1910 and changed their name to HAMBLY.Others of the family moved about the same time to Saskatchewan Canada and may spell their name JOHNKE.One son apparently had a very short (less than 1 yr) marriage in Nebraska to Basil Cleo UNDERWOOD.
Anyone have more information on this family or would like to share information?I have much on family members of Iowa (HAMBLY) but not much on the others.I do have photos of most of the children of August and Mary Ann JAHNKE.
