Ken,

I am stuck with my greatgrand father John Renneker, born about 1850 in Covington, Kenton, Ky died before 1920.

1880 census shows that his parents were from Oldenburg, Germany, both parents. This is where I need some help.

He married a Mary Schulte also born in KY in 1853.

They had the following children:
Mary Agnes Renneker born 1874 in KY; died 28 May 1960 Norwood, Hamilton, OH (My Great Grandmother)
Frank Renneker born about 1876 in KY
Lizzie Renneker born about 1878 in KY
Josephine Renneker born about 1882 in KY
Anna Renneker born about 1884 in KY
Clara Renneker born about 1886 in KY
George Renneker born about 1890 in KY

Frank , Mary and Lizzie show up in the 1880 Census with parents.

Lizzie, Josephine, Anna, Clara and george show up on the 1900 census.

1910 census shows that they were all living in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Josephine and Clara on 1920 census

Josephine and Clara, and Edward Josephine's son in 1920 and 1930 census with mother Mary. Assume John died before the 1930 census.

Edward Renneker born 6 Dec 1906 in Ohio, died 8 Dec 1982 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Schulte line if you trace this back far enough will get you to the founder of the Luthern Church, Martin Luther.

IF you could help with name changes of Renneker and any links related to this family it would save me valuable research time.

Thanks
Hugh
