George H. Rannenberg - The Rannenberg Vaparaiso Mystery

With his brother William Henry Rannenberg and Henry William Rannenberg, George H. Rannenberg was a third member of the jointly owned Rannenberg Bros. - Currency Arbitrage - & Weehawken Bank & Trust Co., N.J. George, however, moved to Valparaiso, Chile to operate a branch of the business there, as Valparaiso was an important stop on the shipping route between New York and San Francisco.

We have a business card containing the following address:


G. H. Rannenberg
Casilla Núm 430
VALPARAISO

The mystery is whether any descendants of George Rannenberg still live in Chile. We do not know whether he married or had any children. As the Chile phone directories are not yet on line, we have also not yet been able to search for the Rannenberg name in Chile. If you can help us solve this mystery, please send us some email.
