Looking to research the family of Albert Wieneke - born 1834 and August Wieneke - born 1844, from Hanover (Hannover?). They applied for naturalization in the US on September 6, 1858. Both brothers settled in the Seymour, Indiana area. Albert married Martha Hollenberg and August married Minnie Wedekind.
Any help would be appreciated. Willing to share any information on their families.
Hello,
This is a very late response to your research problems with the Wieneke
family. I have literally spent hours and I just can't find where your people
lived in Germany. The Wieneke name is quite common in Germany. See this:
Geogen Deutschland (Onlinedienst) - christoph.stoepel.net -
this will show you the number of people with the same names NOW. Check
for Hollenberg and Wedekind as well. Do all of the documents you may have
spell the name Wieneke or are there some with Wienecke?
Were your ancestors in any particular church? Evangelical? Catholic?
