I would like to make contact with descendants of siblings and cousins of my greatgrandparents, Heinrich Wilhelm August "Henry" STEFFEN (29 Feb 1856--28 Feb 1931) and Charlotte Caroline Christine "Lottie" STEFFEN (nee ROECKEMANN) (6 Feb 1862--11 Feb 1897). Both were born in Hahlen, Hartum Parish, Kreis Minden, Westphalia, Prussia, and emigrated to Irvington Twp., Washington County in 1892. Some of their siblings and cousins are known to have settled in Washington and Clinton counties, as well as St. Louis, MO. Some known surnames in these family lines include: STEFFEN, ROECKEMAN/ROCKEMAN, STAES/STAAS, WEBER, KOENEMANN, FREDERKING, SCHLOTMANN, DROEGE/DROGE, SCHNITKER, BEERMANN, and others. I would also be interested in hearing from anyone whose family came from Hahlen or the other villages of Hartum Parish (Hartum, Nordhemmern, Holzhausen) west of Minden, Germany.

Jer, I'm interested to know what your source is for these Luechtefeld immigrations. I have some different dates and would like some citations to back up either of our points and I have none yet. I don't have your individual email address, so I'd appreciate some help. Thanks, Russell D. James

Hi Robert, I have a lot of Middleton information to go through which will take a while. Will let you know if I find something. Deborah

The following Luechtefeld persons emigrated legally from the area of Laer now Bad Laer, having paid to emigrate. There were listed by me from the church books. The secretary knows nothing further about the emigration and has no time to do lookups. In 1839 Jos. Luchtefeld, age 30 In 1845 Luchtefeld age 24, Casp. Henr. Luchtefeld, age 32 In 1846 Casp. Henr. Luchtefeld In 1868 Bern. Heinr. Luchtfeld Russell D.

I don't know if I am new or "old". I think I did contact you asking for Whittenberg connections. I have found someone who is also researching the family. He's in Alabama. I was trying to find Elizabeth Rachel Belle Whittenberg married to William Kane. Sue Zimmer, California

Where will I find information on names of people who were Mormon and went West or stayed in Ill?

Hi All, I am also interested in Elihu WILLIAMS and Elvira STRAIT's children. The older ones are listed in the 1850 census in Washington Co., IL. I believe that James R. WILLIAMS in the 1850 census is my Great-Grandfather. "Riley WILLIAMS" married Rebecca ATCHISON in Dec. 1866. I believe the two are the same. My James Riley WILLIAMS claimed to have brothers: Amos, Willis, and Preston. Does any one claim Willis? It was said that Preston help raise two KINYON children, after his sister, their mother, died. Does any one claim them? I tried to find Elihu WILLIAMS on the 1860 census without success; but some of the writing was too light to read. We have questions about Elihu on the 1870 census. James WILLIAMS and wife Rebecca are on the 1880 census, with the "correct" children. I didn't see Elihu. Did he die in Washington Co., IL. between 1870 and 1880?
