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.
