I see from census records that Michael Faber and Hanna Faber were in Dubuque Co., Cascade Twp. It does appear, since they don't yet have children in this census, that they were probably married in 1870. However, since they were both born in Luxemborg, could it be that they married in Luxemborg and came to America right away? I don't find anyone named Anna Hilbert or Hannah Hilbert or similar in Iowa in the 1860 census. Could she have come with Michael to America in 1865? I also do not find a Hilbert name or similar in the 1870 census; and one would think that Anna H. would not be far from her family? I also see that "Mike" Faber states in the 1900 census for Plymouth Co., Iowa, that he immigrated in 1865. It also states that he was a naturalized citizen, so there is probably a record of his naturalization papers, either in Dubuque Co. or in Plymouth Co. The courthouse may have them, and I suspect they would state the names of his parents, and other valuable information. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luann Ouellette" <louellette@vyn.midco.net> To: <IOWA@rootsweb.com> Cc: "Luann Ouellette" <louellette@vyn.midco.net> Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 5:25 PM Subject: [IOWA] Michael Faber & Anna Hilbert Marriage > Seeking date of marriage for Michael Faber and Anna Hilbert and names of > Michael and Anna's parents.
