message. If you have more information that will
help John, please contact him at jschaben@hotmail.com
John said: " I
have been mainly working on the Gerhard branch as that
is the one I am in. Gerhard was Hilger's younger
brother. Both settled near Ness City, KS after leaving
Wisconsin. Hilger and Sarah are both buried at Bazine.
Like I said, I have been concentrating on Gerhard but
any time I can find a Schaben, I add them to my database
and hope to find links back to Godfried someday.. I have
attached what I believe to be Hilger and Sarah's wedding
photo and photos of Godfried and Margaretha's grave
markers. I am still searching for information about
where Godfried departed from and where he arrived in
America. I have been unable to locate a ship from
Germany between 1849 and 1870 but marriage dates and
other evidence indicates they arrived in 1858 or 1859. I
am starting to think that they likely left from
Amsterdam (about 150 miles from Cologne, last known
German residence) and may have gotten here somewhat
circuitously, possibly London to Halifax to New York or
something like that..." Help John out
if you can. |
