Hello Jen
I am your cousin - not your uncle. My father is Kornelius Renpenning (Born 24.07.24 in Lindenau, Ukraine). He is the half-brother of your father Peter Renpenning jr (Born 1952 in Paraguay). They have the same father Peter Renpenning (Born in 1902 in Ukraine). During the second war, the family moved to Germany. His first wife Maria Wiens died on the way in Poland. They have 4 children : Kornelius Renpenning (24.07.24) - my father, Hermann Renpenning (26.08.26), Sara Renpenning (02.01.28) and Maria Renpenning (13.11.37) - all children live in Germany. Peter Renpenning sen. than moved from Germany to Paraguay. So your father has 2 half-brothers and 2 half sisters. Both sisters visited Peter Renpenning sen. (1902) - their father in 1988 in Canada in the hospital. Unfortunately they did not know at that time, that your father Peter Renpenning Junior is their half-brother. Last year my father was informed that he has a half-brother in Canada - your father Peter Renpenning jun. So we have started to search for him. Please find attached my email-address :
hermann1965@mail.ruMaybe we can exchange some photos ?
Best regards from Germany,
Hermann Renpenning - your cousin :)
