ADAMS, Christine
625 Windward Lane, Richland, Misssissippi 39218-, USA
eMail address: GAdams5921@aol.com

I am searching for any information on the family of Henry VON DULLEN. Henry was born in Hannover about 1833. He emigrated to New Orleans, Louisiana. I do not have year and do not know if he came with his parents. Henry married Catherine ?, (born November 1836) at New Orleans. A 1880 Orleans Parish census shows Catherine was from Baden and emigrated to New Orleans in 1859. Henry and Catherine had the following children: Caroline born February 1863, married Charles DANNEMANN on 1 February 1883; Henry, born about 1865; John born about 1868; Charles born February 1870; Adam born October 1873, married Pauline BURKART (my line); and Fred born about 1876. All children were born at New Orleans, LA.


BAKER, Sandy
eMail address: bakeweld@frontiernet.net

I am looking for the family of Philipp BROUWER. He was born in 1860 at Wymeer, Germany. He went to the Netherlands after that. What I am looking for are the names of his parents and his brothers and sisters. I was hoping maybe a birth record would show this information. I just don't know where to get it. Any help would be wonderful. Philipp first married Tetje LUTJEBOER in 1883. She died and he then married Martha ROELFSEMA in 1885. Thank you for you time.


BEATTIE, Judith
eMail address: beattie@quantum.net.au

I am searching for a Heinrick KLINGENBERG born circa 1832 in Hanover. He married but his wife seems to constantly change her name on the birth certificates of her children. She starts off as Marie RASCH and ends up as Mary Rush. Their eldest child, Henry William KLINGENBERG (this could also be Heinrick Wilhelm) was born circa 1859 in Germany. The couple's next child is born in Lancashire England 4 February 1860 so they had to leave Germany sometime between 1859 and very early 1860. Does this ring any bells with anyone? I have heaps of information to share. Hope to hear from someone.


BEENE, Vickie
eMail address: ebeene@iosa.com

I am looking for the SCHUMACHER family. Wilhelm J. Schumacher was born in Hannover around the year 1821. He emigrated to the United States before 1842.


BEZJIAN, Susan
eMail address: Sbezjian@aol.com

I am searching for the first wife of my great great grandfather. Her name was Wilhelmine Marie Dorothee (nee RUST) HEIDEMANN, born 11 November 1824 at Helsdorf, Hanover, Germany. Her husband was Heinrich Friedrich Wilhelm HEIDEMANN, born at Steimbke. They married 13 May 1849 and emigrated to America (Chicago) in May or June 1859. I would like to know of records of Wilhelmine Marie Dorothee between 1849-1859.
I am also looking for the records of Heinrich Carl DITTMER, married in Germany to Marie HASSELBRING. They had three children, Heinrich (1849); Maria Dorothea (1853); and August (born and died in Germany in 1855). I am searching for records of his death and ancestry prior to 1820. His son, Heinrich was born at Eilvese, Hanover, Germany.


BRKOVIC, Sue
eMail address: AuntCrab4@aol.com

i am looking for my greatgrandmother MARY EHLEN, she was born in Hannover aproximately 1891-1893, more likely 1893. Her father was Johann EHLEN, born 5 June 1836 at Oldenddorf and died 3 november 1896 at Fondulac Wisconsin. Mother Anna SCHRODER was born 28 November 1878. The paternal grandparents Johann and Anna KUCHS. Mary's had three kids, Emma, Walter and Hattie. Her spouse was William Mitchell BARR. She had 6-7 siblings, Rose, Jacob, Carl, Henrich, Katherine, John and Anna. It is believed she may have died at Fondulac Wisconsin. We know nothing about her other than these few things. Any information will be appreciated.


BYKER, John A.
eMail address: jabyker@juno.com

I think my family tree contains several persons named BENTHEIMER from Germany and I'm just beginning to have a better understanding of these special people from my Dutch background. I want to know more and I'm asking for advice or how to find out more information on the following Bentheimers:

Evert ZAGERS (my 3rd great grandfather) -- born 23 July 1814 in Gross Ringe, Bentheim, died 10 March 1884 at Graafschaap, Michigan. He emigrated with A. Van RAALTE on the ship "Southerner" in 1846. He married Hilligje POPPEN (another Bentheimer from Kleine Ringe) on 19 December 1847 at Zeeland, Michigan. Evert ZAGER's parents were Jan Hendrik ZAGERS and Jenne KLOMPARENS.

Geert DEITERS (my 2nd great grandfather) -- born 7 August 1840 at Nordhorn (or Hesepe) Graftshaft, died 7 August 1914 at Fremont, Michigan. I was told he emigrated on 22 May 1865 and was married on 12 November 1868 to Alice ZAGERS at Graafschaap, Michigan, the oldest daughter of Evert and Hilligje ZAGERS. I think Geert DEITERS' father's name was Harm or Hendrik and his mother's name was probably Eefje. How could I find out from which port or boat he emigrated on 22 May 1865 and also his parents' names?

Steven SCHNIEDERS (my great grandfather) -- born 4 August 1862 in Georgsdorf, Germany and died 8 Nov 1949 in Sioux Center, Iowa. He married Hilligje "Helen" DEITERS on 17 Feb 1889 at Fremont, Michigan. She was the oldest daughter of Geert and Alice ZAGERS DEITERS.Steven emigrated from Georgsdorf, Germany around 1882 to escape military service (I was told). His father was probably Harm SCHNIEDERS and his mother was either Bertha MEENDERING or Bertha MOSS. Their family belonged to the Reformed Church at Georgsdorf. Changed his name to SNIEDERS in the USA! How can I find out when and from where he emmigrated (probably in 1882?) and also his parents' names/

I would like to take these lines back further, but I don't know were to begin. Can you give me some advice or point me in the right direction and to the right person. I have limited funds to pay a professional genealogist for this since this is just my hobby. I want to know much more about my "Bentheimer" blood-lines and about what qualities they have. I've been impressed how many Bentheimers were part of the early Dutch "Kolonie" in the 1840-1880's in Michigan.


GOLDBERGER, Frederick H.

eMail address: fhgpaladin@nwu.edu or href="mailto:fhgpaladin@aol.com">fhgpaladin@aol.com

I am seeking information about Heinrich BAUERSCHMIDT born at Cadenberge, Germany 14 October 1876. HGis parents were Wilhelm BAUERSCHMIDT and Anna BOTTGER. Heinrich BAUERSCHMIDT emigrated to the United States 10 January 1890 and was naturalized under the name Henry BAUERSCHMIDT 14 January 1902 at the U.S. District Court, New York, N.Y. Heinrich BAUERSCHMIDT married Aususta BOGEL, who was also born at Cadenberge, Germany, in New York City 5 December 1906 at St. Paul's Church located at 16 East 112th Street. The marriage certificate states that Heinrich BAUERSCHMIDT was in the liquor business. No further information is known about Heinrich and Augusta BAUERSCHMIDT. U.S. Census searches for 1920 in New York and nearby New Jersey and Connecticut have been without avail. One possibility is that BAUERSCHMIDT returned to Germany sometime after his naturalization and remained in Germany.


HANNA, Fred
eMail address: PEBE@webtv.net

I am looking for information and ancestry on: Frederick KNIGGE, born 1831 in Hannover. His spouse was Maria Sophia (HAHNE) KNIGGE, born 17 November 1839 in Hannover, died 5 March 1919 at Fort Dodge, Iowa.


KASAMEYER, Paul and Ann
Livermore, CA
eMail address: kasameyer@alum.mit.edu

I am searching for information about my Great-grandfather who we know as Conrad KASAMEYER (possibly KASEMEYER, KAESEMEYER, KESEMEYER). He was born in 1844 in Hannover (either city or kingdom). About 1870, he married Elizabeth (TOPPMEYER) who was born in Prussia in about 1854, and emigrated to the United States, living first near Cincinatti Ohio, then moving to Terre Haute, Indiana. He may have traveled with his sister Sophie, and brothers Fred and Henry. Other common names in the family are Wilhemine and William. Any information that might be helpful would be appreciated.


KENNEY, Carol RITSERT

LANGSTED, Lee

eMail address: llangstd@gte.net

I seek information on Marlies KRUSE, born 1935. Last contact was in 1947 by her father, Albert KRUSE, in a letter to my ancestor, Frederich MILLER (USA spelling) in the state of Nebraska. Mr. KRUSE said his bakery in Hannover had been destroyed by bombs, but his daughter, Marlies (age 12) had been sent into the countryside earlier. In the letter, Albert KRUSE mentions his uncle, Frederich MILLER'S visit to Germany before the war. Frederich and Augusta MILLER visited Germany in 1911 and 1914. I have Jerxheim Evangelical (Lutheran) church documentation that Frederich and Augusta MILLER were married at Jerxheim 7 July 1871. Also, that Frederich was from Lenne.


LOOKHOFF, Jeffrey eMail address: jjandzaida@msn.com

I need information on LOOKHOFF, John Henry or (LOOKHOF, Johann Heinrich) born 1847 in Hannover, Germany. He emigrated to New York from Bremen, Germany 2 May 1873 on the ship "Rheine". The 1880 US Federal census has him married to KARSTEN, Mary W. (age 27) on 1 April 1877 at Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. His occupation was a butcher. They lived on Bergen Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, USA and had a son named Henry (age 2) and a son named Charles (age 1). Any information on his parents in Hannover would be greately appreciated.


LUKEN, Tina
eMail address: tinalu@bellsouth.net

I am interested in Arend Hanen LUKEN (LUCKEN), born 1809?, who emigrated to Terre Haute, Indiana in 1846 from Amdorff in the Kingdom of Hanover. Arend founded the German Lutheran Church in Terre Haute and was their first pastor. He died in 1887 at age 78. He was also a teacher. He had a daughter, Elizabeth, and a son, John. As far as his wife, I'm not sure. Taton was living in his household in 1860. She was 39 years old when Arend was 52. There was a 4 year old daughter at that time, Elizabeth. In the 1870 census, Taton has disappeared and now there is Petirka who is 49. She is listed as a housekeeper, but now there is another child, John, who is 7 years old.

I am trying to find a link to Arend Hanen LUKEN and Johann R. LUKEN. I believe they are brothers, but neither has parents listed on their death certificates. They both emigrated to the US at the same time and lived very near each other in Terre Haute, Indiana.

At the end of the Civil War and his enlistment, he returned to Platteville where he met and married Wilhelmine (Minnie) ROGER. Ludolph and Minnie were married 27 April 1866 and settled in Platteville where they raised a family of 1 daughter and 7 sons.

MEIER, Gerry

eMail address: gmeie@stlnet.com
(Protestant)

I am looking for birthplace in the Kingdom of Hanover for Nicholas BOODY (BOODE / BOUTE / BUDDE) and his wife Margaret. They were Protestant, and by 1820 belonged to a Methodist church at Oneida, New York. All of their children were born in the Oneida County, NY area. He lists Hanover as his place of birth, in 1754. Their first child was born in NY in 1792. I have found very little information on them prior to this and don't know where else to look. Nicolas moved to Eaton Coounty Michigan in 1837, and became one of the first settlers in the county. There is much information is written on them, but nothing tells his birthplace or the time and place of immigration. I've run into many BOODY researchers on the web, all related to this family, but everyone's information stops where mine stops! If you can help, please reply.

eMail address: siefkas@iland.net

I am looking for anyone who emigrated from Germany with the last name SIEFKAS, SIEFKES, or SEAFKAS. I am told that my Great-great-great grandfather Frank F. SIEFKAS was born 11 January 1833 somewhere around Hanover, Germany. Frank F. SIEFKAS married Etta TODDEN in 1856 at Fairbury (Livingston County) Illinois. Etta TODDEN was born 3 October 1837 in Hanover, Germany. Frank F. SIEFKAS could possibly have a brother by the name of Jacob SIEFKAS. Jacob SIEFKAS was married to a woman by the name of Antoinette. Jacob had a daughter and a son. The daughter's name was Hannah SIEFKAS, and the son's name was Franz SIEFKAS. I do not know what Christian faith Frank F.

Chatarina never came to the US and may be buried in or around Wittenwater. The family was Lutheran.


THAMAN, Sharon
eMail address: SThaman@aol.com

We are searching for information concerning Wilhelm THAMANN. We know very little about this man other than that he was born in Germany, emigrated to United States (date not known), declared his intention to become a U.S. citizen thereby renouncing his allegiance to the King of Hannover (in June 1848); married Bernardina ERPENBECK in June 1845 at St. Louis, MO, and they had at least two children (one of whom was my husband's gr grandfather).

The only things we know about Wilhelm THAMANN are that he emigrated to the United States in the early 1800s. We have a copy of his intention to become a U.S. citizen and it is dated 20 June 1848. We also have a copy of his marriage record on 23 June 1843. That marriage (to Bernardina ERPENBECK) took place at St. Louis Missouri. We are at a complete standstill as to his parents, etc. Can anyone help?

eMail address: Lin.Youle@co.dakota.mn.us

I would like to get a list of all the orphanage's in or around Hamburg and Hovre area. My grandmother emigrated from Hamberg in April 1881. She was 8 years old and taken out of a orphanage. Her name was MARIE KOEHNKE. The ship was called the "Westphalina". She was born 16 October 11874 and died 19 October 1949.

I could not get any information on who she was traveling with or who was her benefactor. I would like to find out why she was a orphan. The ship list just had her name and Prussia. My mother told me she was brought hear to be a nanny, but she would have been to young. According to the passenger list she was travailing alone, she must have been with someone. I hope you can help me.
