William F. Yohpe m. Augusta Ottilia Yahnke
I am trying to find out the connection with this couple to my family. When my grandmother passed away 10 years ago, papers were found with information on this couple that looked like she was researching our family tree, but no explanation of family connection.
It looks like she wrote that they were married in WI in 1892 and had six children:
Edward Paul b. 1893 m. Dorothy Good in 1925 Emil William b. 8-30-1895 m. Emma Miller in 1922 Elsie C. b. 1897 died at 11 months. Carl Henry b. 11-1-1899 m. Lydia or Irene Pawlitz in 1931 Renhard b. 1902 Martha Helena b. 10-20-1905 m. Leonard E. Bergman on 1-21-1945 in MI
William F. Yohpe's parents MAY be Johann Yohpe and Matilde Markwardt, but it's hard to tell by what she wrote down, and I have been unsuccesful in finding information on any of the names.
I am thinking that the connection to me has to be on the Yahnke name, as my grandmother, Dorothy, married Edward Carl Yahnke, son of Emil Janke and Bertha Rosentreter.
Thanks for any information anyone can share.

Re: William F. Yohpe m. Augusta Ottilia Yahnke
Since I posted that query I did find that Augusta Ottilia Yahnke was Emil Paul Yahnke's sister. She married into the Yohpe family.
Emil is the father of Edward Carl (my grandfather) and your grandfather too (I'm guessing Reiny). My mother (Edith) is your mother's cousin.
Thanks for your help.

Sandy - I haven't done any genealogy for a long time and just noticed your message. William F. & Augusta were my grandparents. My dad was Edward Paul Yohpe. William F.'s parents were Johan Jope and Matilda Marquardt. This is on a copy of my grandparents' wedding record. From the names you have listed, like Rosenstater, I know we are related!! My phone is 517-542-3776. I hope you get this message so I can talk with you. Dorothy Perry 9349 Cronk Rd. Litchfield, MI 49252
I think your parents must be Bud, Mary or Edith Yahnke, from what you said about your grandparents. I have pictures of them and the three children. I would play with them when we visited Aunt Martha and Uncle Lennie is Sparta, Wisconsin.
