GODOW, Heinrich; MSC,MEC,DEU>IL,USA; 1820-1900 Seeking information about my great-great-grandfather's family: Husband: Heinrich GODOW b. ca. 1820, probably in B"utzow, Schwerin, Mecklenburg, Germany d. July 1869, Chicago, IL, USA (buried at Wunder's Cemetary in Chicago) religion: Lutheran Came to USA in 1865 Wife: Sophia b. ca 1825, also in B"utzow ? d. after 1871, where? Children: Mary / Marie (b. 1848; d. ?; m. John OSWALD) Henrike (b. 1852; d. ?; m. ? HUGHES) Sophia / Sophie (b. 1855, B"utzow, Mecklenburg; d. ?; m. Fred VOSS and William KESSLER) Wilhelmina (b. 1857; d. ?; m. Fred KUESTNER) Dorothea (b. 1863, B"utzow; d. 1900, Chicago, IL, USA; m. Henry Charles HOBEIN) Anna (b. 1866, Chicago, IL, USA; d. 1939; m. Howard ANDREWS and ? HAYES) Seeking exact dates of birth and death for Heinrich and his wife, as well as the latter's maiden name. Any information about previous generations would also be appreciated. I also wonder if Sophie remarried after Heinrich's death since she seems to disappear from the face of the earth after 1871. There may be a family connection to the name HENSCHEL. Mary Hobein (using her husband's e-mail: ugeiser@xnet.com) Woodridge, IL, USA
