Hello Dan! I am a cousin on the Brenneisen side. :) (Kathy Aho) I am looking for more info on a distant relative on to the Brenneisen and Tihen lines....This is spurred on by my daughters current history project. I was reminded me of something that Mary Cleopa Brenneiesen Rodeman wrote about her great uncle Rhinehardt Brenneisen . He went to the 1849 gold rush in california and came back on the same horse several years later. (Highly unusual and meant to indicate he and his family were good horsemen) he apparently found/made enough gold out there to come back and build a new home for him and his bride Rebecca Meyer in 1857 in Jeff City. Anyone know more about him or his story? Thanks!! Also do either of you have a current email for another Brenneisen?Tihen cousin Barbara Handelman of Overland Park or Lenexa Kansas?
