Hi. I've recently discovered that some of my ancestors were from Chicago. I have a Wilheminna (Minna) SCHWERTFEGER who married Wilhem HUVE (or HUWE-we believe it's German) in Cook Co. 3-5-1890. My grandmother told me that Wilheminna supposedly came to Chicago from Prussia when she was about 18 yrs old - but that may or may not be reliable. The family may also have had some connections in DuPage County. Wilhem and Wilheminna had at least one daughter, Esther Wilheminna Huve, who was born March 2, 1897 and married Arnold Powell in Ingham Co., Michigan. Does this fit in with anyone else's research? Is anyone out there researching HUVE/HUWE or SCHWERTFEGER? Please reply directly. Thanks! Amy ==== COOK-CO-IL Mailing List ==== Please limit sig files to 3 lines.
