My records go back to Wilhelm Kurt Lange, b. abt 1834 in Germany. Wilhelm married Wilhemina Berner, b. abt 1836 and they had children John b. abt 1854, Karl John Christopher (my ggrandfather) b. 1856, Caroline Wilhemine Christine b. 1864, and possible others (as many as six others by some rumors). Karl John married Wilhelmina Meyer and Caroline married Carl Dischler. The mystery is this, John disappeared off the radar screen and no one has been able to trace him. Could your John Henry Lange be the same as my missing John Lange? Some family lore has Karl John coming to the USA in 1882 to join family members already in Iowa. ???
