They were George Henry Wilmink (Wilming, Wilmick, Wilminck, etc.) and Maria Sophia Hefley (Hefele, Heffley, Heflick,etc.) I have a Henry Wilming coming to US at age 16 in 1865. He said in census records he came in 1865 but ages don't exactly match. George Henry and Mary settled in Vinton County, OH (1870s) and later in Hocking County, OH (1880's amd 1890's). There is some belief that they may have been ibn Bourbon County, KY in late 1860's. > >Now, here is where I need help and a lot of it. I have attempted to explore German records and even requested some with little or no success. George Henry said in census he was from Hannover but family has always said Konigsbury, East Prussia. Mary Sophia was from Bavaria >so Hannover is probably correct. George Henry's father was a soldier so possibly the family originally came from East Prussia to Hannover. >How can I find this out? > >I can find almost no records before 1870 census re Mary Sophia Hafley Wilmink except she is burried in Logan, Ohio.
