Brink Family History


Welcome to the home of our Brink Genealogical research.   There are several branches of the Brink name that we are aware.   The following table will outline what we know.

The Brinks of Southern Illinois

This is our family.  The Brinks settled there in 1848.   They came from Germany (Prussia).   Link to more information o nour family can be found in the table below.

The Brinks of Alton , Illinois

This is a group of Brinks which came from Germany as well and at about the same time as our Brinks.     There is every reason to believe that we are related back in the early 1800s or 1700s, but we have not found a connection as of yet.

English Brinks

There is a group of Brinks which who travels to the States and settled in the North East.   We have very little information about this family.   I am under the impression that at one time there was a web site devoted to this family.   It has since disappeared and I have no information at this time.   If anyone has information, please step forward.    Thanks.


The following links will point you to important information about our family of Brinks.
