Translation from the letter that Hermanus Vinkenvleugel wrote to his relatives in the Netherlands on March 16, 1885:
Wright Town, the 16th March 1885,
Beloved family
I can not forbear just to let you know, how it's going with me here in America, because I have already passed my 81 years on 10 March, and now I should like to know how it goes here (he means there LvdH), whether my brothers an sister are still alive or not. There will probably be some people in the family, who will remember, that I and my wife and five children departed from Dinxperlo 35 years ago. I then arrived at Boston. There I have been a "koeper" (cooper? LvdH) for 7 years. The I had earned 700 dollars and with that I travelled to the west and bought myself 80 acres of land and that I sold three years ago. I have my third wife and she has 7 children, from which one daughter has married last year. she was 18 years The Children were all THEIRS. JR old. Furthermore I let you know, that I have hundred acres of land, 5 cows, 6 head barren cattle, four horses, one 8 years old, one four years old, one two years old and one from one year old. I am old and the children are young, but I am doing the most with machines. I have a grass-mower and a seed-mower, a sowing-machine and a rake-machine. They cost a lot, almost 300 dollar, because the wages are also more expensive then in Holland. Here one can earn good money. If it should be, that in the family, there are people, who want to come over to live with us, whether married or not married, they can work by me, and if they aree married I will let her live on the sixty field or acres? LvdH. The usage here to let build or grow LvdH for the half, then the ownner gives nothing more, but I will join the machines and also two horses and everything belonging to the use of horses like the horse harnass on the horse-wagon, plough, harrow, .......... etc. Firewood, don't you think about it, there is plenty. Now I will just request you, that you just let me know who cultivates the land on the "Brinkenveld". I do not know better than that it is still mine, because I have sold the house, but not the land. Furthermore I do not know much news to write, ten that I personnaly am determined to once come over to you if the good Lord let me keep my health. The land that I sold three years ago I had to mis, but where I am now it goes good wthout. Now I end with the pen but not with my heart and then just the greetings to all my friends and acquaintances, for I hope that you will receive this letter in good health.
In expectation I remain your brother or uncle, who calles himself Hermanus Finkenvleugel
Now I expect a soon answer please.
The adress is not Hermanes Finkenvleugel but just
Herman Fink
Wrights Town Brown
Furthermore, o yes, I had almost forgotten from my children from my first wife. The oldest son has been married in Boston, but he died and has left a wife and three children, Johanna is in Origon, Gertruida is in New York, Hendrikus died in the war and therefor I become my pension of 8 dollars each month. The youngest daughter Maria Magdalena?? LvdH is in Arkansas. This is my great Grandmother Those who live are all married. The youngest daughter has 13 children, from which two are married.
Herman Finkenvleugel and Ana Maria Lauterbach from Kobelens (I think this must be Koblenz in Germany LvdH).

| Biography |
Bef 4 Jun 1889 |
- Hermanus Vinkenveleugel used the name "Herman Fink" in America. He was also known as "Manus" and last name "Vinke". Also last name "V. Veugel". His name has also been given as "Herman Finkenflugel".
According to research from Jean Reese, Hermanus had a twin brother named Bernardus. Bernardus died 13 February 1806 in Dinxperlo at age 1 year, 11 months, 3 days.
Hermanus emigrated in November 1847 with his wife, Hendrina, and five children to America. He departed from Rotterdam with a ship named "Amphin" and arried on 31 January 1848 in New York. He settled in Boston, where he worked for 7 years as "cooper". With this job he earned and saved $700, and he then moved to the area of "Wrights Town", Wisconsin, where he bought 80 acres of farm land. His wife Hendrina (te Haken) Vinkenvleugel had been ill for two years and died at Boston, Massachusetts. Some of Hermanus' children moved with him to Wisconsin.
Hermanus married Theodora Kobussen on 24 September 1850 at Boston, Massachusetts. See The Commonwealth of Massachusetts marriage book, Year 1850, Volume 47, Page 95, No. 1550. Click here to see photo of Copy of Record of Marriage. Also see transcript below.
About, probably, 1863, Hermanus married, third, Anna Marie Lauterbach.
A letter was found which Hermanus Vinkenvleugel wrote to relatives in the Netherlands 35 years after leaving Dinxperlo with his wife and five children. The letter is dated 16 March 1885, and he writes that he had just turned 81 years old on 10 March. In the letter he signed his name, but said that replies should be addressed to the name he was known as in America, "Herman Fink". He was living in Wrightstown, Brown County, Wisconsin, having come there seven years after his arrival to America in Boston. His oldest son married in Boston, but died, leaving a wife and three children. His son Hendrikus died in the Civil war, and Hermanus received a pension of $8 month.

possible relative 1870 census Kaukauna page 23 Vinkenvleugel, John a ge 80 and wife Johanna age 68, both born Holland.
From Helen Forbeck Files; Herman Finkenflugel along with his six (really f ive - one died earlier -hff) children -- Henry, Barney, Gertrude, John, J ohanna, and Mary, emigrated to East Boston, Mass, after the death of his w ife in Holland. (Letter home to Holland from Hermanus and Henry's Civil W ar records state that she died in Aug 14, 1849 in East Boston - hff.) He m arried Dora Kobussen who had a son, John (born in Little Chute) - (actuall y, John was born in Holland-hff). Dora died without bearing any childre n. (She had many children…..with Willem Cobissen in Holland - hff) Herm an then moved to Appleton and worked in his nephew's cooper shop at Madis on and Lincoln Streets in Appleton. He later moved to the "flats* and work ed in Parker's stave factory. He married Marie (Mary) Lauterbach. The chil dren were as follows: Kate-- Mrs. John Madigan, born in Appleton, 18 65; Mary -- Mrs. William Giesbers born in Appleton, 1866: Herman born in A ppleton; John born in Appleton; Anna -- Mrs. Ed Seager born in Appleto n; Minnie -- Mrs. Joseph Merkel born in Appleton
Joseph born in AppletonTheir house was near the site of the present site of the car barns* not mo re than 100 feet from the small Memorial building where the first big comm ercial electric lighting plant began August 20, 1882. It is a matter of hi story that the Hoover Dam, Mussel Shoals, and other gigantic projects f or creating electric power owe their existence to this Appleton unit so cl ose to the Finkenflugel home.When the family was still young, they purchased a farm in Dundas which w as later sold when the family bought a farm in Wrightstown. The Wrightsto wn farm was across the fence from the Giesbers farm. Van Zeeland owns t he farm but the original home and buildings are no longer standing. Aft er the death of Herman Fink, his widow moved to Menasha.
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 23:36:17 -0500 From: Murry & Jean Reese My GG Grandfather Hermanus Vinkenvleugle/finkenflugel/Fink lived in Calum et County from about 1855 until at least 1875 and possibly longer. Whi le living there he was married to Theodora Kobussen and then in 1864 marri ed Miss Lauterbach. I cannot find anything regarding the death of Theodo ra Fink. I know that she was alive as late as the summer of 1863 but ha ve no clues as to the date of death nor the place of burial. I do know th at they were devout Catholic. Can anyone give me suggestions as to whe re I may look to find information on her. They lived near Dundas and th at is about all that I know of the location. Any information would be grac iously appreciated. Jean V. Reese

Email from Jean, 3/30/2004 Now I have found some variations in the dat es of birth. Some are the same, some different. I'm inclined to go wi th the top list because this lady is a professional and reads and writes t he language whereas I had a translator.The one that especially catch es my eye is that of janna Geertruid, which I believe to be the one to mar ry Henry gantenbein. I believe that is the date on her headstone but ha ve now had some night before drugs so I may not be clear. I'm going to c ut it off again and go just lie in bed till time to get up, if necessar y.
