Comment by Rebecca Lynn Solley Anderson on July 24, 2009 at 8:18pm: I am looking for information on my husband's family line. Engel, Gaffke, Hermann and Fuhrman all from Prussia. Immigrated to the United States in about the 1870's-1880's all settled in Huron County Michigan primarily Port Hope located in the upper part of the thumb.

This is great....I'm looking right this minute....I know I've got relatives in Mettmann Germany and have asked a cousin (several times) for information about my German relatives but as of yet, they haven't replied..

This is very kind of you...thank you once again.

Comment by Adam Rickle on July 24, 2009 at 3:48pm: I am looking for info on Henry Rickle (Rickli, Rickly) born 1836 in Switerland?, Died 4 May 1883 in New City, NY (Clarkstown). Married to Eva Katherin Fetig. I've been trying to link him back to Europe. My confusion stems from one Census listing him as Swiss and another as German. I believe Eva was from Barvaria but I'm not sure if they married before or after coming to the US. I don't have ready access to resources in NY so before I start sending checks out for a wild goose chase I'm trying to post up to different sites.

Comment by Patty Wimpsett Killion on July 23, 2009 at 5:16pm: Hi Group, I'm asking for your help in finding out more about my Great Grandmother, Angeline Heeren. I believe she was born in Iowa about March 1856 and died 1937 in Adams Co., Iowa. She married Cornelius Rah (1857-1930) 19 Aug 1876 in Rock Island, Il. What I can't find is her parents. I know they came to America from Germany. I just don't know what their names are or when they came. Do you have a Heeren in your family????
