[Mailman-Users] Re: Wernsing-Eimann Genealogy

[Andrew Dhom]

Hi

I've been reading the e-mail letters for some time now and have not read
anything concerning the Wernsing or Eimann families in Hannover so I
will send this and hope for a response.

I am searching for:
Hermann Henrich WERNSING born ca. 1804-1807 in the old kingdom of
Hannover.
Married to : Maria Katharina EIMANN born 1 May 1807 also in the old
kingdom of Hannover.  The marriage took place probably in Germany before
this couple emigrated to America.  They were in Cincinnati, Ohio by
1836.  Possible ports of
entry were New York or New Orleans (I think this couple may have
emigrated without permission of the government).
Hermann was a member of the German Land Company of Cincinnati, Ohio
which was established in 1839 for the purpose of establishing the town
of Teutopolis, Illinois.
Hermann died 14 April 1874 in Teutopolis, Illinois.  Maria Katharina
died 11 October 1863 in Teutopolis, Illinois, and the family was Roman
Catholic.

The couple had the following children:
1) Franz, born 16 Dec 1839 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and married Anna
Gerding.
2) Mary Elizabeth, born 23 Aug 1841 in Cincinnati, married Henry
Althoff.
3) John Henry Hermann, born 23 Nov 1846 in Teutopolis, married Mary
Catherine Kroeger.
4) J. Hermann, born 18 March 1848 in Teutopolis, married Elizabeth
Kroeger.
5) Mary Catherine, born 20 July 1853 in Teutopolis, married George
Overbeck.
6) Mary Anna (birth date unknown), married Henrich Habing.

I have searched for this family for about 15 years and most recently
have employed Falk Liebezeit to help me in my research, and so far we
have not been able to establish the villages from where they came.  If
anyone has any information concerning these people, I would greatly
appreciate hearing from you.

Most Sincerely,
Sharon Dhom
