Well, I am amazed not to see any EVERTS on this site. Contact
me if the names Peter Everts and Anna M Everts of New Douglas Illinois are
familiar to you. They are my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother.
My name is Dewey Leon Everts Jr., my old man was Sr, born in 1898, his
father was John, born in 1876 and his father was Peter. Peter and Anna were born
in Ostfriesland. Anna's folks were born in Hanover. Peter's folks
were born in Ostfriesland. Peter was born in 1830 and Anna in 1837. They
moved to New Douglas Illinois, Madison County, (New Douglas Township). where all
of their children were born, as far as I know. The census record in 1880
starts with aunt Mini, and I am sure there was a Lucien Everts before her.
They had two sons named Karl. Karl was born between aunt Lena and Aunt
Anna and when he died they named another boy Karl although the census shows him
as Charles. They were farmers and from what Grandpa John Everts said, were quite
well to do by those days standards. They had acreage on the south end of
town. If you would like to go to the 1880 U S census on family LSD, you
will find beaucoup people who migrated to Madison County who came from
Ostfriesand. Peter and a bunch of others all came at the same time.
I think they were cousins of Peters. Write to me if you are interested.

Hello - I am doing family research on the surname Hillrichs or any
variation of it. My great grandfather John Hillrichs was born 11 Apr 1863
in Emden, Ostfriesland, Germany. I am not sure what year he came to
America or who he traveled with. He settled in the area of Atlanta,
Illinois and was a prominent farmer there. He married Amelia Kurtz in
1888. She died in 1894, and he married his second wife Minnie Klemm.
John died 23 Oct 1944 in Atlanta, Illinois when he was struck by a train near
his farm. He had a son, Louie Hillrichs, with wife Amelia, and a daughter,
Irma Hillrichs, with Minnie. If anyone has any information on the
Hillrichs family, I would love to hear from you. Thanks! Sheryl

My greatgrandfather was Herman O. KROMMINGA (KROMINGA) b. July 9,
1850 in Ihrhove, Germany. His wife was Jennie (Janna?) BORCHERS b. Dec.
15, 1857 possibly in the same area. They immigrated in 1884 with their two
children Lena, and Everett. Three more children were born in the USA, Stacy,
Harry and my grandmother Minnie Hanna. They lived in Albert Lea, Minnesota
and also Abbotts Crossing, Iowa. Other towns in Germany they may have
lived in are Leers and Breinermoor. I can not find Ihrhove or Breinermoor
on my map of Germany. Would they be
North Germany near Bremen? Also I can not locate what port they would have
entered the US. I would think Castle Garden but I have not been able to
locate them in the Germans to America books. Could they have come in in
Canada? If so what port? Thank you for any help you can give me.

My great grandfather was Hango Jibben Fisher (originally Fischer) who
emigrated from Holtrop, Ostfriesland to the United States around 1866. He
was born July 15, 1845 in Schirum, Ostfriesland and died in Iota, LA on February
26, 1910. Father was Nanne Harms Fischer from Rechtsupweg/Marienhafe
(1803-1866) and
his mother was Mareke Cornelia Poppinga from Theene (1809-1892). His
siblings were: Metje Johanna Fischer, Harm Davids Fischer, Daniel Ippen Fischer,
and Foolke Talida Fischer.
I believe that Hango, his sister Metje Johannan and possibly his brother Daniel
Ippen Fisher were emigrees to America. First known destination was New
York City (1866 - 1868), then west to Saint Louis, MO (1868-1869) then on to the
town of Quincy in Adams County, IL where Hango applied for U. S. Citizenship in
March 1869 and finally traveled to New Orleans, LA (1870-1872) where he obtained
a homestead grant on June 26, 1872 and his U. S. citizenship on July 1, 1872.
Hango married Mena Willer Miller (Possibly Wilhelmina Miller or Minna Miller) in
New Orleans, LA on February 13, 1873, and later settled and raised his family in
Iota, LA. I have no information on Mena other than her parents may have
emigrated from Switzerland shortly before her birth in New Orleans in 1851.
Records in Ostfriesland indicate that Hango's youngest sister, Foolke Talida
Fischer, married a man named Heere Jelschen. They had seven children, a
daughter who may have died shortly after birth, un-named, another daughter who
died within a year of her birth, and then five surviving until adulthood.
The surviving children were Daniel Ippen Jelschen, Hermann Janssen
Jelschen, Mareke Cornelia Heeren Jelschen, and Behrend Focken Jelschen.
Records show that Heere Jelschen died in Steinberg in 1935, Herman died in
Holtrop/Felde on February 23, 1966, and Mareke in Onern-Steinberg on May 17,
1968.
Hango's children had spouses with the surnames of Bartlett, Cart, Dommert,
Estorge, Menou, Miller, Richard, Sellers, and Vining. All lived a majority
of their lives in Louisiana or Texas.
If any of these names and places figure in your ancestry, please let me know.
If anyone can help research this information further at the local level (I
live in Maryland), your help would be greatly appreciated. Stephen H. Fisher,
Rockville, MD

We believe my grandfather, Johann Luken Gerdes, immigrated in 1866 with

Albert and family, Geret {George} and Altje. They sailed on the Marco Polo to
New Orleans , then up the river to the Carthage IL area. There were cousin named
Fecht in that area who had immigrated earlier. The Behrends in 1887 moved
to the Clara City Mn area due to land costs. My grandfathers family came in
1868, went to NW Mo and in 1883 southern Ne. It could be that there hasn't
been communication for a 100 years or more. I'm wondering if any one from the Mn
Behrends area is into genealogy and would like to exchange information. This

My name is Bill HINTE, I am the
Australia part of the HINTE surname project, attempting
to
connect the various branches of the HINTE
surname , world wide.
Currently HINTES from five countries
are assisting this project with data. I would be grateful
for ANY DATA on the HINTE surname, that
elusive little piece of information may well be the
data that would allow us to connect another
branch of the family.
Our present dilemma is the inability to
connect two major branches. The Bremen HINTES to the
Essen/Oberhausen/Minden HINTES of Germany.
We believe that the Essen HINTES did come
from the northern region of Germany,
however we have no actual proof of this.
This problem is a major goal of ours at
this time, however we are more than happy to obtain any
data at all on the HINTE surname.

Hi! I am looking for info.
on my ggg grandfather and his family. His name was Harm Buss & his
wife Tetje' Hedden Buss. I believe
from my research that Harm (also went by Hiram) was born
in Hannover, Germany in 1801 and came
to the U.S. in 1846-47. I have not been able to find
out for sure where the exact village he was
born in. Tetje' I have found was born in Holland- so
they could be Ostfriesen. I would
appreciate any help I have been searching for along time and
have not found any leads. Thanks! Cristy

My greatgrandfather,Henry Hass, was born in
Emden,Germany in 1855and came to America
(New York) in 1870. I think his
sister was Antje Hass who became the wife of Eden Barteld
(Bartels). They came over in 1868.
Henry Hass became a gardener/florist in Newport, Rhode
Island where he lived until his death
in 1945. Any information on his ancestors is appreciated.

I am
particularly interested in finding anyone who has information on the FLUTH
family who came
from Loquard. My great-grandmother was ANNA
FLUTH who married JURGEN SPIEKER. I
am also looking for information on the DAHLMANN
or DAHLMAN family. Both of these
families settled in the Grundy County, IA region.
I know that the SPIEKER arrived in Iowa from
Illinois in late 1854. However, I do not
know when they immigrated. If any one has found these
names on any ship manifests I would appreciate
hearing from them. I have not been able to go
out-of-state to do research yet and the lists
presently transcribed and available on the internet do
not contain that information. Thanks, Jan Haan

- Hi, I am researching my great grandfather Heinrich Ludwig Klefmann-Kleffmann, born 1 Jan. 1852-3, and his sister, Caroline Eliza Klefmann-Kleffmann, born 10 Oct. 1857. We think they were born either in the Hannover area or the Osnabruck area. I do not know when or where they arrived in America but they lived in Iowa because my grandfather was born in Atlantic, Iowa in 1877. Heinrich died in 1915 on Missouri but is buried in Council Bluffs, Pottawattami County, Iowa, Walnut Hills cemetery. Caroline married a Larfield, and died 1906 in Portland, Ore.

- I have several ancestors listed as having been in Oldenberg. It took me quite a while to realize that Oldenberg was not a town but a region. Can anyone help me with these questions?
What were the boundaries of Oldenberg between 1830 and 1880?
Were there any other political districts between a town and Oldenberg or between Oldenberg and Prussia? (In the USA we have city, county, state, country)
Since this question may come up again, are there any internet sources for this information?

- Hello, Have just begun researching the Gerdes family tree and have so far traced our history back to Germany from Australia. I have traced our line back to Herrmann Gerhard Anton Gerdes, who was born in Osternburg, Oldenburg on 29 March 1834. He was Christened on the 1 June 1834 at the ex-luth Kirchengemeinde, Osternburg. His parents were Anton Gunther Gerdes (worked at Berne) and Helene Ziesen. Godparents were Johann Herman Ahlers and Gerhard Albert Gerdes. I am unable to discover anything new. Would you be able to assist with further names down this line, or be able to direct me to some good texts? Annette
