Riessen, Maass, Meislahn, Kruse

According to "Germans to America"  my great-grandfather, Matthais Riessen came to America sailing on the E. Brockelman from Hamburg to NY, arriving in New York,  August 22, 1864.  Eventually settling in Crawford County, Iowa

I have not been able to find any information on the ship E. Brockelman.  Wondering if others might have had ancestors on the ship, or know of any other information available?

WIESE

Why did I get a hit on this page when I quiried a search  for the name Wiese?  To the best of my knowledge my Wiese ancestors arrived in America from Schleswig Holstein through the port of New Orleans, passing up the Mississippi to the "Quad Cities" in Iowa, then eventually to Grand Island, NE.  The only given name I know is Heinrich, my great grandfather.  Arrived in the new world around the 1850's
I'm unsure as to any connection to Fehmarn

PETERS, OELERICH

I found these names listed in the Fehmarn Ancestors: Peter Peters and wife Maria Oelerich, but no dates or places listed. I believe these are my husband's great great grandparents (our information said her name was Mary Oebrich). Can anyone tell me who posted these names and from what source? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

GIEBELSTEIN

My maiden name was Giebelstein - originally I am from DeWitt, Iowa.  My father was Harry LeRoy Raymond Giebelstein, had a brother Vernon,and I'm not sure what his father's first name was as (I think) he died when my dad was about 12 years old.  This is a real story according to relatives.  My dad's mom was Wilhelmina (Galitz) Giebelstein.  To the best of my knowledge, my grandparent's lived in North Dakota and lost a farm during the depression, they came back to Scott County Iowa where they rented farm property near the Wapsi river.

I have only one brother, Richard who lives in Seattle.

My dad died about 11 years ago and would have been 86 now.

I don't know if that helps a lot - there are a lot of things we don't know - mostly because my granfather (dad's dad) was an alchoholic and didn't work very much so no one talked about him - my grandma (Minnie) wouldn't even so much as mention his name.

SASS, LAFRENZ, SCHUTT

Query:

TRYING to put together a family tree.  My ggrandfather was Henry Sass son of Hans and Bertha (Schutt) Sass.  Bertha daughter of Heinrich and Maria (Oelberg) Schutt.  Have no idea when they immigrated but they came from the "old country". Hans is the son of Johann and Chalarna (Speck) Sass, Hans was born in Durenstedt, Holstein, Germany.  Now the hard part Lafrenz Henry Sass married Lillian Bruhn daughter of James and Meta (Lafrenz) Sass.  Eventually my family settled in Nebraska but I have no idea anything else about them.  Gramps died in 76 so I don't remember much about his family the only thing I really remember is an OLD clock he had from "his country" and he always told us we should be proud of who we were and where we came from because we were "GOOD GERMAN STOCK"  I'm hoping someone out there maybe recognizes any of these names and can help me.   
     Thank You,
        Roberta

BLANKE

Sorry, I do not have dates. A Grete BLANKE, daughter of Heinrich BLANKE, married on Fehmarn. She was a niece to my grgrandfather Friedrich Wilhelm BLANKE. He was born 14 Feb 1844 in Mardorf, bei Schneeren, Land Hannover(Niedersachsen).
I was born in Bordenau, Niedersachsen, in 1965, do read the old German script, and would be glad to order the films from SL, but it looks like the films would not cover the time frame I need. So I am hoping someone has seen her name...

ARP, ARPE

Hello:
   I am looking for ancestors that lived on Gute Wittenberg in Eastern Holstein which was next Oldenburg and Eutin.  I have been doing my research in Segeberg, Holstein and have hit a dead end with my 5th Greatgrandfather.  His name MARX ARP, ARPE and his wife ELSABE, they lived in Mucheln near Hasselburg.  I have not been able to find a birth date or marriage date for him. The children of this man and woman were all baptised in Selent and Lebrade.  The marriage records in Selent only go back to 1717.  Is there a possibility that MARX ARPE, ARPE is connected to the ARP name on the island of Fehmarn or the ARP name of Stein in the Probstei?

Tiedemann, Ehler

Hi,
I am trying to confirm a suspicion that my grgrgr grandfather and mother came from Fehmarn based on some supposition, and I would welcome any input.  I know that my Tiedemann family members came from Schleswig-Holstein, some in 1851 and some in 1853, and settled in New Holstein, Wisconsin.  The family members I know about are Christian Tiedemann (b. 1789), his wife Anna and their children Ehler (b. abt 1828), Christian (b. abt. 1830) and Catharina (b. abt. 1835).  I am going on a hunch that Anna's maiden name was Ehler.  Any ideas or information about Fehmarn Tiedemanns and Ehlers would be appreciated.
Regards,
Regan Oakley

ORTH

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am tracing the family tree of one of the ORTH families which settled in Wisconsin USA.  I am having problems using the usual methods of searching.
   The ORTH family I have traced so far goes as such:  John Orth B. unknown. Married to Regina Eisert (mid 1800's) living in Colby, Clark Co. Wisconsin. Many ORTH families still live in Colby Wisconsin.

John ORTH was father to:  Charles Joseph ORTH b. Nov. 11 1890.  SS# 01-03-7459. Children: Vernon Franklin, John, Anna, and Conrad ORTH.

Charles ORTH and his wife Frances Schreiber migrated to North Dakota in the early 1900s. Along with his son Vernon Franklin ORTH b. 4-13-1915. 

Vernon Franklin ORTH Married Flora Stephenson in Valley City North Dakota in 1937. Children: Fredrick, David, Mary, Thomas, George, and Stephen Orth.  This branch of the family ended up settling in Seattle Washington because of World War II.
 
Vernon Franklin ORTH is the grandfather of my son.  Charles Willard Orth b. 8-24-1979.

Any information you could give me would be most helpful.  I am interested in knowing when the our ORTH family came to America.  However, I am also interested in the history of the ORTH family in general.
Any help would be wonderful.

          Thank you,  Julie Orth
