Are you the Corrien Froklage who created "Stamboom Froklage, Vrocklage en Wrocklage" hosted at http://www.clicks4you.nl/joomla/index.php? If so, I would like to ask your assistance. I am researching my Wrocklage ancestors and wonder if you have information on ancestors of Christian Mathias Wrocklage (born Esch) and his first wife Anna Maria Catarina Wrocklage. He was born 2 Feb 1789. They were married 2 May 1817 in Hastein, Osnabruck, Hanover, Germany. They had 4 children, the oldest being Theodor John Wrocklage, born 23 Dec 1817. He is my great-great-grandfather on my mother's side. Thanking you for your assistance, I am

Warm regards,

Attached is a picture of my great-great-grandfather Theodore Wrocklage, son of Christian Mathias (Esch) and Anna Maria Caterina Wrocklage. He was a principal in the founding of Delphos, Ohio and a partner in many businesses; a potash factory, wheel factory, mercantile, bank, insurance company, railroad, grain mill and others.

It was said that he often made loans personally to young farmers who were turned down by the bank. He would require a meeting with the farmer and his wife. If she was a "stout, strong woman" he knew that she would be an asset to the farmer, being able to work side by side as they cleared land and planted and harvested crops. If she was thin or frail, he would decline the loan knowing that she would not survive the physical nature of the work required to farm the land.

He was a generous man, donating land or money to provide works that served the general public. He often donated to churches of many denominations, both in Delphos and in surrounding communities.

Attached is a list of my family from Theodor Wrocklage (son of Christian Mathias Wrocklage born Esch) through my grandchildren. It is incomplete, but should give much information.

I am also including a family picture of my great-grandfather John Otto Wrocklage (page 7) and a wedding picture of my grandparents John Theodore Wrocklage (page 14) and his 2nd wife Grace Bergfeld. The pedigree I have included should correct several errors on page 14 regarding John T., his 2 wives, and children.

Thank you very much for providing the data and pictures about the Wrocklage family . You can find all this in: http://clicks4you.nl/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=221&Itemid=56 Find the right person and click on the page number.

Ahhh, I see your confusion. She isn't buried in St. Johns cemetery as she is still living. She does, however, have a plot and stone in place. Never noticed that she was listed as dead in the software. I'll have to fix that or she'll haunt me when she IS dead. be assured that she is very much alive as of this email.

Regards,
Joe

Hello Corrien.

On the website, in section "Stamboom Wrocklage Vinte Duitsland, Ohio United States", you mention it is "described by Mrs. Wrocklage, who still lives on the Wrocklagehof in Vinte."

Do you have her full name and the date that the history was written? I want to make certain that any of the information I use is properly credited.

Thanks & regards,
Joe Landwehr

Hello Joe,

Did you read the manuscript of the pedigree Vinte Ohio page 1- 57 ? Ms.Agnes Wrocklage has a lot of time invested in this manuscript. She researched several years at various institutions such as church records, civil records, registers etc. This research was done 30 years ago.

Greetings,
Corrien Froklage
