- Looking for information on Minnie Gillette and Vincent Hitchcock. They were married around 1900 and lived in Utica NY, Amsterdam area. Their daughter Lucy Hitchcock Schutte born 23 Aug 1905 was my grandmother. I believe Vincent was born in Amsterdam area in 1879. I also believe his parents were Seth and Lucy Hitchcock.

- I did a very dumb thing, I was researching my great grandmother, Nellie Deforest Schutte born in 1884 in the Utica NY area, and found her father, Harry Deforest born in 1860, also in NY, her mother Sarah Peek. I had a web site up that connecting Harry all the way back to Melchoir Deforest. I e-mailed myself the site and lost it! I have since had a crash and can't seem to get back this information. I would be so grateful if any one "out there" could fill in the blanks for me. The NY state census leads me to believe that Harry's father was David Deforest born in1826 and his mother was Nancy. From further census studies it seems David's father was also David Deforest and Jerusia. Help!!! Thank you so much, Lori Flaherty

- I am searching for information on my Great-Grandparents. Roelf Brinkema and Katie DEVOOGD Brinkema emigrated to the U.S.A. in June 1881. They settled first in Iowa and later moved to Nebraska for the remainder of their lives. Family Tree Maker CD # 269, Dutch to America lists a Roelf Brinkema of Bellingwolde-Groningen, Holland emigrating in 1881 at the age of 44. This misses his stated date of birth by two years, 46.
To my knowledge, Roelf and Katie Brinkema brought only 3 children with them on the voyage, however this CD lists 6 children, perhaps nieces or nephews. His occupation is listed as Dagloner (what does that mean?) and of less-well-to-do class or "middling".
Can anyone lead me in a direction so that I may verify this information and indeed prove that this is my G-G Grandfather?
Thanks and Happy Holidays. - 20 DEC 2002: bwuebben@hotmail.com

Butler / Hardin / Grundy Counties, Iowa
I am researching a group of families from the West Frisian island of Terschelling (off the northern coast of the Netherlands) that settled nearby the East Frisians, first in the Ridott/German Valley area of Stephenson County, Illinois, and later in the Ackley area near the junction of Butler, Hardin and Grundy counties in Iowa. I am trying to find out how these two groups got together. Anyone with clues or ideas, please contact me. I am particularly interested in the Pals family because there appear to have been Pals families from both Ostfriesland and Terschelling.

Correspondence 06/08/01 passenger #252-256 ROSSMULLER
My ancestors are Eilert Rossmuller and family, 252-256. They settled in St. Clair County, Illinois but later moved to Gage County, Nebraska. The father Eilert died a few months after coming to America. His children were Eilert (not Eilers), Meta, Trentje and Albert. The mother died before sailing and I am trying to locate a name, as well as birth or death dates on the father or the parents' ancestory. Please e-mail me at Sharon Burke if you know of any information.I have important news for her concerning those emigrants #252-256, in fact we have descendants of this family related to our Becker family of Vossbarg, Ostfriesland. I tryed to contact Sharon under her email address as given before - however got no response. So, if anyone is knowing Sharon, please make her contacting me!

Our Elusive one is Annie we just have had no luck what so ever in finding out when she Immigrated all we know for sure is that it was before her parents who came over in 1886, that she was at one time in German Twp. Ogle County when she first came over but was in Iowa by 1890. We are pretty sure she immigrated with brothers Herbert, Jacob I think that their parents sent them over with a relative who was coming.

I read on your web site about the existence of an Ortssippenbuch dealing with Horsten (1682-1900) Band 13. and thought it might be of value to me. Could you tell me if my ancesters appear in it? If so, I would definitely like to buy a copy, if one is still available.
Thank you for any help you can give me in this matter.

I am looking for relatives of my great grandmother, Margaret Elizabeth Onken and her siblings who continued to live in the area of Wittmund or Leerhafe: Her parents were Gerd Johnson Onken (leerhafe) & Ocheta Marie Hendrix (updorf) lived in Wittmund during marriage.
Siblings to Margaret Elizabeth Onken were Henkick Onken (1866-1945), George Onken (1873-), Frederick Toben Onken(1815-)
Thank you so much for any information you might be able to send to me

Children: Reent(1824-1824), Anna Johanna Catharina Janssen (1848-), Reinhard Bernahard Janssen (1851-1927) and Gretje (1853-1853. Johann remarried Altje Heyen Cramer(1833-1887). Altje had a daughter Foskea Gretjelina Cramer as well as my great grandfather Heiko Georg Hasseler. Altje was divorced from Heiko's father Dirk Focken Hasseler. Reinhard (aka R. B. Meyer) came to America and settled in Detroit, MI. He married Henrietta. They are in the 1900 census and the 1890 city directory. I'm looking for further information on this family, in particular the Johann - Altje connection. Also any information on Meiko Meyer (1870-1908), Jennie Meyer Friesma (1867-), Diederich Meyer(1863-1889), Minnie Meyer Brown (1872-) and Grietje Meyer Teunis (1865-). Jennie and Mieko were in Detroit, the others probably were but not sure. Meiko sponsored Heiko when he came to the USA in 1884. They are all connected in some way to my family.
Folkert W. Gerdes' widow Mary Ray Gerdes of Cass County Illinois did not marry T. John Franken as I said in an earlier query January 2002. She married T.John Franken's brother William Franken.

George immigrated and settled in Sibley, Ia. where his father and sister, Charlotte joined him in about 1894 or 1895. Lucy immigrated with her husband Herman Viet in 1891 and settled first in Freeport, Il.
George and his father Koene moved to DeSmet, S.D. in 1901, and Lucy moved to Parker, S.D. after the death of her husband and Charlotte and her husband moved to the Parker area, too. I also would like information regarding the Lauterbach family from Emden, also. The family except for Esterdine who died in Germany in 1948 immigrated in the 1890's to Ackley, Ia. Geike Lauterbach married Aita Van Velde in 1856 and they had 7 children. I don't know who Esterdine married in Germany, but would like to contact relatives in Germany. I know a little more about the Lauterbachs than the Blocks and that name may have gotten changed at some time to Americanize it. I would like to learn about the Rechs and Van Veldes, too. Any information about these people would be of great interest to me.
