The current LANDSMANN (Issue #41-March 2006) (Crete and Will Co., IL historical information/newsletter), thank you Landsmann, has helped clear up my confusion with Biesterfeld families from Algesdorf to America. Karen Rowe Johann Christoph Biesterfeld (20 JAN 1802-1855) and his wife Engel Maria Hecht (26 NOV 1813-1855) (to Roselle, IL 1847) was the son of *Hans Heinrich Biesterfeld from Algesdorf #11 and Catharina Engel Maria Meyer (Biesterfeld-Meyer married 1797) (Biesterfeld-Hecht married 1835). Biesterfeld-Hecht had a daughter Engel Maria Biesterfeld (12 JUN 1838 - 16 OCT 1936) who married 20 SEP 1856 to Johann Wilhelm Matthias. Matthias-Biesterfeld family settled at Readlyn, Bremer Co., IA. Johann Christoph Biesterfeld (11 NOV 1799 - 07 JAN 1839) and Engel Maria Sophia Reese (21 JUN 1815 - 1854) was the son of *Heinrich Christoph Biesterfeld, Algesdorf #8 and Engel Maria Dorothea Rehborg (Biesterfeld-Rehborg married 1798). Engel Maria Sophia Reese immigrated with her 2nd husband Johann Friedrich Bartels (1809-1887) to Steinhauer, Pawnee Co., NE. *Hans Heinrich Biesterfeld and Heinrich Christoph Biesterfeld were brothers, sons of Hans Heinrich Biesterfeld from Algesdorf #11 and Anna Engel Sophia Bernds. So Johann Christoph Biesterfeld (1802) and Johann Christoph Biesterfeld (1799) were first cousins.

and WHAT WERE THEIR SOURCES ....? if they dont source their materials, then it is only hearsay and still a guess, and since this was an ISSUE, then more importantly the sources should be cited... if not on their publicaton at least in copy to you and now the list... whats the url for the landsmannn/society?
