Craig at
GeneaBlogie had the wise notion to publicize the names he was searching and see if anyone else knows something about them. This is a great idea. I can't believe I never did it before, but I'm posting them here now:

Ok, now I have to use the word "genealogy" so search engines will pick it up and people searching for Eldridge genealogy or such will land on this blog.
My challenges are as follows:
Any indication of a
Baerecke or
Barecke in Chicago in 1892.
A death date for
H. H. Baerecke/Barecke.
An idea of what H. H. stands for (I think it's Harry from WI but have no proof.)
Information on the following Lenertz's all born in the 1800's:
Alex LenertzAlexander LenertzCatherine LenertzFrank LenertzHenry LenertzJohn LenertzJoseph LenertzMargaret LenertzMary LenertzMichael LenertzWilliam LenertzAlso in search of information on the
Pierre Thibodeaux born in Louisiana in 1829, not the one born in 1835.
If you have any information on these folks, or you need more clarification, please email me using the email address provided in the right column of this blog.
