Re: posting from Jesse Wallace I am a descendant of Georg Jakob Rinck/Rink B. 1820 in Plafz,(Palantine) Germany, who came to the US in 1936, his father was Sebastian Rinck, and I have that family back another 4 generations. George J. settled in Elkhart co. Indiana in 1937, had nine boys and owned 560 acres of farmland. Most all of them stayed around Elkhart Co, in particular, Millersburg, Goshen area. I have seen Anton Rinck, land patent, for 160 acres in Elkhrt Co., signature date was 8/20, 1838. The story passed down in our family is that Georg came to the US with 4 brothers, and they had a show shop in southern Indiana, before coming to Elkhart Co. I have been trying to find out what the brother's names were! Have some correspondance from some of the family still in Germany. If any of this sounds familiar, please contact me!
