Hi Chris; Don't know if it will help but in the late 1800's, there was a large migration of Holsteiners from Kreis Segeberg to northern Illinois in the general Chicago area (some of them subsequently moved on to Iowa and South Dakota). Many of their descendants, including my own family*, still live in the Chicago area. Among those families were a number of Greves, Graeves, Grewes, et al. Some associated surnames were: Jaacks/Jaaks, Timmermann/Timmerman, Poehls/Pohls, Kruse/Kruess/Krause, Boettger, Burmeister, Schuemann, Grömeyer/Graemayer/Kath. There are of course more, but that should give you enough to start *My own 4x g-grandmother was one Catherina Gräfe, b. 1807 Fehrenbötel, d. 24 Oct 1882, Wahlstedt. Her parents were reputedly named Tietje Grave and Magdalena Forster. Cheers, Masugu Woichi01@comcast.net Its overpopulation stupid!
Thank you very much I shall put these names on file for further research first I must find the names of Annas brothers who migrated to New York before 1866 Chris in Hahndorf South Australia _____ From: germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Masugu Sent: Thursday, 7 April 2011 12:44 AM To: germany-passenger-lists@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [G-P-L] Anna Catherina GREVE Hi Chris; Don't know if it will help but in the late 1800's, there was a large migration of Holsteiners from Kreis Segeberg to northern Illinois in the general Chicago area (some of them subsequently moved on to Iowa and South Dakota).
