My great grandfather was John Adam Yunck b: 1843, d: 1942. Married Bernadine Meyer. Had 7 children. Came over as a child with parents (unknown names) from Bin on the Rhine, Germany. Worked with Thomas Edison/Westinghouse in Menlow Park, NJ. Looking for unknown siblings and where they moved to.

Hello,

I have Younck/Yunck ancestors that also came from Germany but do not know beyond Joseph "Henry" Younck who came to the US in the 1840's with his wife Elizabeth. Did your ancestors move to Missouri or Minnesota?

Regards,

Hi Simone -- I have a tie to your Yunck line via my Wink family, who crossed in Minnesota. My info on the Yuncks is very sketchy, but I'm sure we are talking about the same line. Perhaps we could trade a little information? I'll include some below. -- Tom

My dad was named Joseph William Yunck. He was born in San Francisco, CA on March 25, 1925. He died in San Francisco in March 1993. He had a brother named Walter Yunck who died in San Francisco in the 1960's. Their dad's name was Nicholas Yunck. I don't know if there are any connections to other Yuncks in Missouri, Minnesota and Washington but thought I'd pass this information on.

Kathy -- I can't make a connection but it seems likely that your line is related. My Yunck people ended up in that area. If you can get back one more generation I'd bet we can tie the lines together. -- Tom

Kathy -- This is, of course, the challenge (and joy) of genealogy... figuring out how to find out more about ancestors. One starting place is the California Death Index database. It shows:

YUNCK WALTER T 05/21/1921 STOCKING - M WASHINGTON SAN FRANCISCO 05/05/1966 559-20-7184 44

Thus we see that your dad was born in California in 1925 but his brother Walter was born in Washington in 1921 and his mother's maiden name was Stocking. There is not a birth location given for their father, Nicholas, born in 1891. You also have SSN's for all three (though to be honest, I don't believe Nicholas would have had a SSN; it's probably an error). Still, I'd acquire the SSN application for the other two to see what's on them then go from there. I'd also try to link up with some Washington-state Yuncks to see what they know. -- Tom
