a few comments.. 1. Crete is not exactly around the corner from Schaumburg Illinois..it is about 1hour+ and about 65 miles.. 2. It is try that several of the folks from Schaumburg Illinois did go to Minnesota, Nebraska, southern Illinois and one lister on our list is from Iowa.. 3. Schaumburg Illinois was settled in the 1840's by many from Northern Germany, in particular from Schaumburg-Lippe in Hannover. Adjacent to our township ,which is in Cook County, is Hanover township in DuPage County where many came from other areas in Hannover in about the same period. 4. the following rootsweb.com lists are already established for the following.
