Betty:



The following are entries from catalog of gravestones in Stearns County,
Minnesota. Stearns county is in north central Minnesota, about 100 miles
north of Minneapolis.



Last Name First Birth Death Cemetery



FENSKE Arthur A 1906 45 Paynesville Twp
Cemetery

FENSKE Hertha E 1914 45 Paynesville Twp
Cemetery



No Bethke's or Wrasse's.



State of MN has very good online registry of deaths at
http://people.mnhs.org/dci/search.cfm?bhcp=1



It shows 494 Fenske's. Info about Arthur A. is



FENSKE, ARTHUR A.
Date of Birth: 02 Jul 1906
Place of Birth: MINNESOTA
Mother Maiden Name: QUIRAM

certid# 1985-MN-019799
Date of Death: 27 Jul 1985
County of Death: STEARNS



No info about Hertha Fenske with 1914 DOB. However, there is a Hertha Henske
born 2/11/1897, died three days later. Mother's maiden name SPLITTASTAZER

I searched for Bertha Fenske with DOB 1914. No luck.

The death certificate site has a link to MN births. There are a number of
Fenske's.

My father's maternal grandparents came from Kreis Wirsitz and settled in
Stearns County.

Hope this is useful

In a few recent inquiries re:FENSKE families from Debenke kreis Wirsitz

Posen I have done my families Fenske from that region and would suggest
that I

have foundg on IGIs that the name is often written as Wenske for the same

families Fenske over different years. Many of my direct families were born
and

died in Debenke and nearby villages. And for the person searching for a

Gustav Fenske I have August Edward Fenske born 17 Sep 1871 in Saxaren (near


Bebenke) son of Johann Karl Fenske and Charlotte Werner.

I also have seen the surname spelled as Ventzke . Have info on many

other Fenske names in my notes. and would be happy to share. Also have
notes

for Wrasse and Bethke. Betty Fredrich-Krummel
