Carol, I found them at Ancestry.com and the port of arrival was New York. I am not sure if he was a brother to my gggg grandfather Johann Heinrich Thies born 1777 and died 1867. Buried in St. John's near O'Hare. I did take a photo of his headstone when I was visiting in 2004 at Long Grove just in case. Jill

Ijust noticed that I have the wrong year for birth of Johann Friedrich THIES in the information I sent. It should be: Johann Friedrich THIES, born 20 Aug 1806, not 1896, in Erichshagen,.

I have some information about a Lake Co., IL THIES family and they are related to your Dorothea Thies who married John Henry HARMENING. Culd this family be connected with any other Thies families in the Schaumburg-Palatine areas?? Dorothea Thies' parents were: Johann Friedrick THIES, born: 20 Aug 1896 in Erickshagen, Kingdom of Hanover, Germany, Died: 18 Sep 1888 in Ela Township, Lake Co., IL.(Erickshagen just northeast of Nienburg on the Weser River.) He married: Charlotte PINNE, born: 25 Dec 1800 at Heemsen, Kingdom of Hanover, Germany. Died: 26 Nov 1876 in Ela Township, Lake Co., IL. Both are buried in Long Grove Cemetery, Lake Co., IL They came to America in 1852. German to America books have them listed on the ship, "George" from Bremen (port of arrival not listed), arrived October 4, 1852. They had 6 children with them, and had two children born in Illinois: Children of Johann Friedrick & Charlotte THIES are: 1. Heinrich THIES...born: 5 June 1833 in Hanover, Germany. died: 21 April 1900 near Lake Zurich. Married Caroline DAMMEYER 2. Maria THIES...born 1836 in Hanover, Germany. died: ?. Married Friedrick MAUSHAK. Lived in Harmony Twp., McHenry Co., IL 3. Dorothea THIES...born 11 Feb 1841 in Hanover, Germany. died: ? Married: John "Heinrich" HARMENING. Lived in Bloomingdale Twp., DuPage Co., IL 4. Wilhelm THIES...born 1843 in Hanover, Germany. died: ?. (There is a marriage record at the Long Grove Evangelical Church(noe UCC) in Long Grove, Lake Co., IL for a Wilhelm Thies, from Bremer Co., Iowa who married Friedericke Meyer, from Plumb Grove, IL. They were married 21 Sep 1871 at Long Grove...marriage license from Kane Co., IL) Not sure if this is the same Wilhelm Thies ??? I have no record of him after that....Karen, do you find any connection to those you have in Bremer Co., Iowa? 5. Johann Heinrich "Friedrick" THIES...born: 12 Apr 1847 in Hanover, Germany. died: 5 July 1871 near Lake Zurich, Lake Co., IL. Married: Louise SCHULTZ. 6.

Married: William BUESCHING. Lived near Lake Zurich, Lake Co., IL There are no records for any of this THIES family at the Long Grove church before 1855, so believe they lived either in Chicago or maybe DuPage Co., IL before coming to Long Grove. (1852-1855) Does anyone connect with this family? Carol

Thanks Larry, Conrad Biesterfeld (1814-1893) had 3 marriages? correct? The first wife is unknown, child is Conrad Biesterfeld (1840-1926); 2nd wife Mary Hattendorf (1819-1872) married 1850, 2 known children Heinrich (1851-1906) and Wilhelm (1853-1938); 3rd wife is Catharina Maria Sophia Hinze(1815-1890) married 1873. Do you find a pre 1850 burial of his first wife? So Conrad Biesterfeld (1840-1926) also had 3 wives? Sophia Hagen, Charlotte Schuette, and Charlotte Vette. Do you find Sophia Hagen Biesterfeld burial prior to 1862? FYI Catharina Maria Sophia Hinze was born 21 APR 1815 at Algesdorf #5 the daughter of Cord Heinrich Hinze and Ilsa Maria Soehle. She came to America in 1847 with her first husband Heinrich Conrad Christian Hasemann born 05 DEC 1810 at Beckedorf #31, Germany son of Conrad Christian Hasemann and Christine Eleonore Halfeld. They had 4 children: Johann Heinrich Conrad Hasemann (*20 SEP 1838); Heinrich Christian HENRY Hasemann (14 FEB 1841 - 1923 buried at St. John Lutheran Cemetery Eagle Lake, Beecher, Will Co., IL married Catharina Maria Blume); Engel Maria Sophia Hasemann (*10 SEP 1844 - immigrated); and Ludwig August Gottlieb Hasemann (*29 NOV 1852 baptised at St. John Roselle, IL). Catharina Maria Sophia Hinze had two sisters who immigrated. Ilsa Maria Charlotte Hinze born 19 NOV 1804 in Algesdorf, widow of Johann Friedrich Meyer of Beckedorf. She came to America in 1856 with her 2 daughters Engel Maria Sophia Meyer born 09 JUL 1838, Engel Maria Sophia Dorothea Meyer born 08 JAN 1841 and a son Heinrich Conrad Meyer born 27 AUG 1843. I don't know where they ended up. Anna Sophia Hinze born 11 JUL 1807 at Algesdorf #5 married 29 JAN 1837 at Beckedorf, Germany to Hans Heinrich Christoph Gummer (20 FEB 1815 Beckedorf #24- 26 NOV 1890 Roselle, IL). This couple immigrated in 1848. Children: Engel Maria Sophia Gummer born 17 MAY 1839; Friedrich Wilhelm Gummer born 18 JAN 1844; Engel Dorothea Friederike Gummer 02 OCT 1846-1870(wife of Carl LOUIS Beisner); Friedrich Christoph Gummer born 20 APR 1851 Roselle, IL. I would appreciate any further information on these families. Thanks. Karen Rowe

sch review 01 19 06 Proposal would demolish schoolhouse for donation BY PATRICK CORCORAN STAFF WRITER The historic Charles A. Lindbergh Schoolhouse would be demolished in exchange for a $50,000 donation to the Hoffman Estates Historical Society from the property owner, according to a proposal backed by Village President Bill McLeod. The schoolhouse is currently protected by a 1996 agreement between Ryland Homes and former Village President Michael O'Malley, who hoped the 73-year-old building could be converted into a community center. However, the Village Board may be soon asked to reverse the pledge. Driving these new talks is an impending Illinois Department of Transportation plan to widen Shoe Factory Road that will put the roadway closer to the schoolhouse, possibly only 17 inches away from the front stoop, according to village officials. McLeod said the situation is unfortunate, but public safety and road improvements concerns trump those regarding the historical value of the property. "We have thousands of people who are going to be moving in and out there, and the road needs to be widened," he said. The one-room schoolhouse was one of only a few used by the area's farm families before contemporary school districts were developed. According to a 1999 study by a Chicago-based firm -- Historic Certification Consultants -- the building is notable for its unusual cobblestone walls and eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Village Historian Pat Barch and others say the schoolhouse can and should be saved. Ideally, it would be moved to a new location and preserved, she said. A 3-year-old plan to hand the schoolhouse over to a Hoffman Estates family for use as a residence fell apart last year. The museum board -- which includes Barch, McLeod, Village Clerk Virginia Hayter and residents Barbara Adrianopoli, Bob Lyons and Debby Miller -- discussed the proposal briefly last week and is now seeking cost estimates for moving the house. Barch said at its new location, the schoolhouse could be turned into a simple historical landmark. "At least it would be a place to look at -- something to admire and learn a little bit about," she said. Barch and other museum board members would also like a richer donation from Ryland. She said $50,000 isn't enough since several new homes could fit on the schoolhouse property. "We told the mayor, 'Ask for more.' To me, it's a small amount," she said. The group is in the preliminary stages of creating a fund-raising campaign with the hopes of relocating and renovating the schoolhouse, Barch said. Because saving the house seems to be a long shot, the situation is discouraging, Barch said. "I kind of feel like there is no hope right now," she said. Trustee Ray Kincaid is seeking a temporary solution. If the building can be moved to the other side of Shoe Factory Road, then the road widening project can go on unimpeded, the schoolhouse can be saved, he said. On Tuesday, Kincaid visited the site with village Code Enforcement Director Don Plass and Bob Przewlocki, owner of Preservation Trades, Inc., a Wayne, Ill., company with experience in relocating historic structures. Kincaid, whose father went to school in a one-room schoolhouse in southern Illinois, said a cost estimate should be available soon. He said he would like to see the building saved for future generations to understand how people in the area were educated. "One-room schoolhouses are part of the history of this country. Kids today go to preschools bigger than this school and students from kindergarten to high school were taught in these buildings," he said. "Years from now, the building could have a special meaning to local children." McLeod said he, like other village officials, originally supported the plan to preserve the house, but the village is now running out of options. "We all had good intentions with this. I thought something viable would happen there, but we are responsible for life safety in this village and we can't have the building there. People regularly kick down the door and go in and do God knows what," he said. "As time goes by and no one steps up to do something, what do you do?"
