Karl Ruder

Zur Geschichte:

Anfang April 2018 erhielt ich eine E-Mail über unseren Hompage Kontakt von einem Herrn Ronald Venezie und seiner Frau Michele Ann Venezie geb. Sicard. Angegeben auch die Mutter von Michele Ann, Elizabeth Sicard geb. Ruder.Nachfahren des Karl Ruder aus Kappel/Rhein

Thank you for responding to my email. There is a book available on the internet that contains a brief biography of Karl Ruder as well as some photographs of Karl and his son, Fridolin. There is also a picture of the home he built in Essex Township, Kankakee County, Illinois. Although that home is no longer standing, the farm land where that home was built remains in the Ruder family.

I have also attached a document listing my wife's Ruder ancestors. The lineage is:

Andreas Ruder --> Johan Ruder --> Karl Ruder --> Karl Ruder --> Fridolin Ruder --> Andrew Fridolin Ruder --> Edwin Fridolin Ruder --> Elizabeth (Ruder) Sicard --> Michele Ann (Sicard) Venezie

So, my wife is the 3x great granddaughter of the Karl Ruder that emigrated in 1855. She is the 6x great granddaughter of Andreas Ruder, the earliest Ruder ancestor we know of.

The title of the book is "The History of SS. Peter and Paul's Church, Pilot Illinois". Here is a link to the book: https://archive.org/details/historyofsspeter00meye

With kind regards,
Ron Venezie
