Bernard Thobe and his wife Bernadena lived two places from my grt grt grandparents Joseph and Theresa Derner. Did any of the Thobes marry a Derner or a Weber? What relationship are you to the Thobes? I may have a picture that belongs to the Thobe family. Waiting now for picture confirmation.

My mom is a Thobe. Bernard and Bernadine immigrated from Germany 1876 where 4 of their 6 children were born, Everyone in Auburn Iowa knew and knows the Derner name,if you ever visited the town you´ve been to Derner Brothers, now The Office. Onlyconnection I´ve found so far was Julia Derner married Theodore Steinkamp. both born in 1898 Ted died 1988, Julia 1989 both in Wall Lake. He was a cousin.
Bernard was my GG Grandfather, and his grandson Bernard was my
Grampa Ben Thobe in Auburn Iowa I also have a GGrandfather Brown from Michigan on my fathers side, by the way.
