My mother's maiden name is Kipp. My gg-granfather was Hermann Wilhelm Kipp b:12-17-1816. In a recent trip to Ladbergen I found the record of his immigration in 1845 to the USA with his wife Chistine Elizabeth and two young sons. I also have their arrival record to the port of Baltimore on September 15, 1845. In the 1850 census they were living in Jefferson TWP Muskingum County Ohio. In the 1850 census they had three more children for a total of 5 in 1850. This is the interesting part. Also living with them was Henry Untiedt, age 34, laborer, born in Germany and Henry Untiedt, age 3, also born in Germany. >From your post this matches up with your information on Herman Heinrich Untiedt b:9-17-1815 in Ladbergen. I can now understand why they were living with the Kipps. Maybe Catharine Kipp b:6-6-1810 that died on the voyage to America was the older sister of Hermann Wilhelm Kipp b:12-17-1816. And maybe her father Wilhelm that also died on the voyage was also the father of Hermann Wilhelm Kipp b:12-17-1816. If you have any additional Kipp info that would be great. Also I did not have much time last week in Ladbergen due to a business appointment in Dusseldorf. I spoke to the Restaurant Mollers Hof restaurant owner and he suggested that there was a Untiedt that was knowledgable on the Ladbergen history. I am thinking to return to Ladbergen and stay a few days. Any suggestions you have for the visit would be great.
