DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jakob by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jakob:
I'm just getting started on wikitree so apologies if this is not the right way to provide this information. I don't have personal copies of any documents, but I am very confident letters exchanged between many persons in North Dakota with Russian ancestry would likely supplement. Many Brenneise and Spitzer letters are listed in an enormous index I found this morning titled, "Letters from the Eureka Rundschau and Das Nordlicht, 3 Jun 1915 - 27 Dec 1929* (Edward Bischoff)" held by GRHS headquarters in Bismarck ND: https://www.grhs.org/Documents/Uploads/eureka-idx.html
(I have not reached out to GRHS yet, but it appears they will happily provide copies for a small fee, as explained on the site.) The history at the top of the page is also quite interesting.
I found this while researching my great grandmother on my father's mother's side, Helen Strand, maiden name Spitzer, born on Sept. 29, 1917 to Louis and Rosa (Brenneise) Spitzer on a farm in Burleigh County, near Baldwin, North Dakota.
Rosa (according to the list of children who are linked together on findagrave) was one of 8 children born to Juliana and Jakob Brenneise who were buried in Underwood, McLean, ND including:
- Elizabeth Brenneise Jesser
- John Brenneise
- Rosa Brennaise Spitzer
- Jacob Brenneise
- Lydia Brenneise Stohler
- Gottlieb Emil Brenneise
- Sophia Brenneise Hornbacher
Hi A. Richardson. Welcome to WikiTree! This is not an ancestor of mine, so I haven't done a lot of research.

It looks like Jakob Brenneise has two pages on FindaGrave - the one linked on this page, as Memorial #21814014 and this one: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/184946607/jakob-brenneise
