Hello Don
Thanks for your e-mail. My great great grandfather was Heinrich Dieke, born
7 January 1817 somewhere in Hannover. Died 29 December 1900 in LaGrange Park,
Cook County, Illinois. I have no idea of the name of his parent's. He
married Wilhelmine (middle name may have been Alvina) Wesemann about 1845 - not
sure if it was in Germany or in the U.S. She was born in Hannover 10 July 1820.
Thanks for the variations of Theeke and Thieke.
Don Knoepfel
