Posted on: Hancock County, Il Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Hancock?read=1089 Surname: ------------------------- Diane Do you know Anke Harms maiden name or if there were multiple spouses ? My decendents were from Hanover Germany and the name Harms and Scweers and Schlachter seemed to be interchangable on multiple children (multiple spouses). I have a family of Harms coming to this country in 1854 to New Orleans on the ship O.Thyen sailing from Breman Germany. Maybe kissing cousins or the first wave of the family ??
