This is what I have on my line of the Schinke family..

John and Charlotte (Lüdtke) Schinke had immigrated to Ontario, Canada from Stettin, Pomerania, Prussia (now Szceczin, Poland) around 1848/49 with their 4 year old daughter Fredricka "Reka." Their second child William (my 2nd gg) was born there in 1849. About 1866 after Samuel was born, John and Charlotte and their (11?) children moved to West Point, Cuming, Nebraska. They had two more children there.

At least William, Frank and Samuel moved to Washington state at some point. William (now spelled Shincke) and his wife Helen (Robbins) were pioneers and homesteaders in the South Bay area of the Puget Sound (now Olympia), Washington around 1879. By the 1889 census, William's younger brother Frank (22) was also living in the area with presumably his wife Mary. I have no record of John and Charlotte moving to Olympia, but there is a J. Shincke that died in 1890 that is buried in the Masonic Cemetery in Tumwater, Washington. If John, he would have been about 65 at the time of his death. He is buried near Frank and Frank's son, so he was likely an ancestor of Frank's. Charlotte lived with Samuel after that in Spokane, Washington (1901), then in Eugene Oregon, where she died in 1904 and is buried. Samuel is listed in a Eugene city directory at the time as a carpenter (no wife mentioned) living at 843 Oak Street. Don't know where Samuel lived after that.

I can talk to some of the William Shincke line in Olympia if anyone needs it.
