Seeking connections to Maria Dieckmann Lüsing, my great-great-grandmother, who was born Abt 1846 and passed away March 23, 1931. She resided in Rederstall and was buried in Tellingstedt; her obituary stated that she was a teacher's widow (husband unknown). They had four known children: Jacob Felix, Elizabeth, Elsie, and Wilhelmine Lüsing. Felix married Wilhelmine Detlefsen and immigrated to San Francisco, CA; Wilhelmine married George Maack and resided in Blankenese, Hamburg; Elizabeth (my great-grandmother) married a distant cousin, Gustav Lüsing, and immigrated to New York. Other names associated with this family: Hildegard Cohrt, Ernest Ernst, Karl Heinz, Henry and Annie Rau (San Diego, CA) and Peter Jensen (Westside, Iowa). Any information regarding my elusive Dieckmann/Lüsing ancestors would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Martha Bohlinger Lakin
