I know that my Dethmann ancestors came to America and settled in the Clinton, Iowa, area for a time. Some of them eventually resettled in the Crawford County, Iowa, area, but I don't know how many of them stayed in the Clinton area. The mother, Wiebke Christine, came over with some of the children in 1872. She eventually died in the western part of Iowa. But I know one daughter, Johanna, married a Balster from Lost Nation and settled there. Wiebke's other children were: Hans, Andreas, Christian, Johann, Peter, Catharina, Wiebke (my ggg grandmother, who resettled in Crawford County, Iowa), Claus, and Jakob. Any information anyone can share regarding this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
