FRANZEN, Luemke; DEU>IL,USA; 1847-1883 Greetings Fellow Researchers. I am trying to locate information on Luemke FRANZEN. He was born about 1847 in Germany to ?? . He married Zeide Minnie UBBEN in 1875. They, along with their three children, Heie, Zeide and Ubbo (Otto), arrived N.Y. on June 22, 1881, moving to Nokomis, IL. Frank FRANZEN was born in Nokomis on Dec. 9, 1881. On Dec. 19, 1883, Luemke died. I have been unable to learn anything about Luemke's place of birth, parents or siblings. I have most descendants. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you.
