Dear inquirer, I am only a little acquainted with the Hadenfeldts in Nebraska. Just a year ago I discovered my own family line, the Bensenberg family, in Buffalo County. I know there were some marriages with Hadenfeldts - either directly with Bensenbergs or with members of the Baade family, originally from Mecklenburg. My ancestor, Augusta Bensenberg, married William Baade in about 1903. I have not had time to study that family, but have forwarded your e-mail to a relative of that family to ask for help. She may send information to me, or e-mail you directly. I have some pictures of headstones from Hadenfeldts in Cairo, NE. If you have a fax machine, I would be happy to copy the pictures and fax them to you. Cairo, NE is a very small community and there is no library there. We had good genealogy help from the Grand Island Public Library. Their local history department is quite good, and perhaps they would do some research for you. Grand Island Public Library 211 N.

There were Hadenfeldts in and around Denison, Crawford County, Iowa. Probably related somehow to the ones you talk about. I know because one married a great uncle, and her brother married the uncle's sister, my great aunt. There are still descendants around Crawford County. Thankyou, Portia
