Dettmann/Dettman

My great-grandpa's sister, Clara Kroning married a man named William Dettmann. They were from the West Chicago area in DuPage County.

Do you have any information as to what town William Dettmann was from? When
did he come to the USA? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

West Chicago is a small town (that jumped from 14,000+ in the 1990 census to
24,000+ in the 2000 census), on the western edge of DuPage County in
Illinois. It is NOT Chicago. We used to be the turn-around for the trains
that came out of Chicago serving the western suburbs, and in 1896 changed
the town's name from Turner Junction to West Chicago. It also happens to be
my town.

As to Dettmann, it's not an uncommon name and there are plenty of them in
the phone book for this area. I'm a teacher and even had one in class a year
ago!
