Hello--
I am searching for surname Erdmeier.
Christian Heinrich ERDMEIER b 31 May 1821 Sabbenhausen, Lippe D. married Caroline Radmeier from Radsiek, circa 1850.
Heinrich, Caroline and first child, Caroline immigrated to America summer of 1853. They settled in Ogle County. Illinois.
children: Caroline 1852(Germany) all other children born in Illinois, Amelia 1854, Eliza 1856, Henry 1858, Vela 1860, August 1862, Lewis 1864, Sarah 1866, John 1868-(my grandfather).
Heinrich died July 11, 1868 and is buried in White Oak Cemetery, Forreston, Ogle County Illinois.
Caroline remarried Jacob Daniels November 27, 1868 in Stephenson County, Illinois. they moved to Shannon, Carroll County, Illinois where my grandfather, John Paul, was born April 1868.
I have some church records for ggrandfather Heinrich don't know if he was born in Sabbenhausen, gggrandparents maybe be from Radsiek.
If anyone is connected to this line I would love to hear from you.
