Hi Sheila!
There is also a Vanderlinde family in Brazil!
Heinrich van der Linde (or Vanderlinde), born 1818 in the region of M�nster,
Westphalia, emigrated with his wife Catharina Wenning and three children to
Brazil, arriving in Rio de Janeiro at October 1st, 1862. They went to a
German setlement region in south of Brazil and have many descendants
nowadays.
Unfortunately, I don�t have the name of their birth town. Maybe Mr. Martin
Holz (martin-holz@t-online.de) can help you.
Good luck and cheers from Brazil!

Hello,
My name is Sheila Vanderlinde. I am researching the family of William and
Gertrude Vanderlinde. I have not been able to get beyond them. Here is the
information that I have.William: Born 1824--Died 1898, in Minnetrista Township, Hennepin County,
Minnesota
Gertrude: Born March 28, 1838--Died May 12, 1925, in Minnestrista Township,
Hennepin County, Minnesota. We have several maiden names for Gertrude:
Fanica, Fonica and Fanicer. One reference to her father as Lambert Fanicer?
(Last 2 or 3 letters of the name are illegible.)Both are buried in St. Boniface Catholic Cemetery, St. Boniface, Minnesota
According to the 1900 Census they arrived in the US in 1868.
According to the 1930 Census their native country was Westphalia, Germany.All Census Records with their names on them with the exception of the 1880
census, say Germany as the native country. The 1880 census says Prussia.
The
1930 census is the only one that gives an additional location: Westphalia.
We know that they rented a farm in Reserve township, Ramsey County, St.
Paul,
MN, in 1880 until 1889, when they bought the family farm here in
Minnetrista
Township. The farm is still in the family, being operated by a Great
Grandson.William and Gertrude had 10 children. The first 2 are said to be from
another
wife, who passed away. William remarried, (Gertrude) and had 8 more
children.
I have not been able to confirm this. All records that I have, state that
all
children were born in St. Paul, MN. The oldest child, William (Jr.?) is
said
to have died at approximately age 20 of diphtheria. No confirmation on that
yet. The second child Mary, I found in Portland, Oregon. On her certificate
of death, it says that she was born in St. Paul. The informant on the
certificate was her daughter. She knew the name of her Grandfather, but not
the name of her Grandmother. I have found that records and information
given
