Earlier Anscestors
We find that most of our Brennecke ancestors were born in the village of Sebexen and not in Herzberg as we thought when the original Brennecke Family History was written. The research by Carl Penzel ties in perfectly with the Norman Brennecke research and other information in the Brennecke Family History.
Fritz Brennecke was the son of Ernst Brennecke and Caroline Berner. Fritz Brennecke inherited the entire estate of August Carl Brennecke, who evidently never married. We may surmise that the Will of August Carl Brennecke created animosity and hard feelings between members of the Brennecke family. This may be one of the reasons for the lack of communication and loss of all contact with them.
