Ich bin Barbara und lebe in Houston, TX und ich bin so glücklich, diese

    Listserve gefunden zu haben. Wir brauchen dringend Hilfe bei der Suche nach

    meinen Vorfahren. Wir haben keine Ahnung, wo man anfangen soll, sucht in

    Deutschland und leider, ich spreche kein Deutsch.

    Mein Großvater wanderte Willie Heidecke (Heidecker) in die USA an Bord der

    Gellert die Hamburg 28. Juni 1882 verließ. Die Passagier-Liste zeigt ihn im

    Alter von 5 Jahren. Er ist mit seiner Mutter Johanna Steinkopf und seine

    Brüder und Schwestern, Herman, Karl und Ida Bertha. Die Passagier-Liste

    zeigt Residenz als Staßfurt.

Sein Vater Karl Wilhelm Heidecke und seiner

    Schwester Anna werden nicht auf der Passagier-Liste angezeigt, und ich habe

    nicht in der Lage, wann oder wo sie auswanderte, außer ich, dass sie Taten

    weiß, weil wir ihnen später in Louisiana auf die US-Census wiederfinden.

    Familie Aufzeichnungen zeigen Karl Wilhem Heidecke (Carl William Heidecker)

    * um 1839 in Eiselben, Sachesen-Anhalt, Deutschland

    Jede Führung wird greatfully geschätzt werden.

Hi Barbara,

It seems to be that you didn't receive an answer on your questionnaire so
far. So I'm trying my best ....

May you have a couple of birth days of your relevant's at hand, to optimize
the search effort ?

Do you know which religious denomination your Heidecke (Heidecker) relevant
did belong to ? If they did belong to the Roman Catholic parish, there are
two LDS microfilms available, relative to Stassfurt. See

If they did belong to the Lutheran church, there are a couple of church
books available in the local church archive. However people in the church
office do not speak English. May be a member of the Sachsen-Anhalt list
lives in the Stassfurt area and can support you ???

Relative to the town of Eisleben, you can also pick up some LDS microfilms,
see

Hi Juergen!

Thank you for the information and response.

Here is the information that we have, and it isn't much.

Karl Wilhelm Heidecke(r) born in 25 April 1839. Married circa 1865 Johanna
Steinkopt (steinkopf?) born 1845. They immigrated to the US in 1882 with
their children: Charles born 11 April 1870; Anna born 2 January 1872;
Hermann born 1873; Willi born 2 October 1878; Ida R (Rellion?) born 6 April
1897 and Bertha December 1881.

We think Karl's parents are Hermann Heidecke born 1808 and Anna Hilderbrant
born 1810.

We have been told Willi was born in Eisleben. On the passenger list of the
Gellert it shows they were from Strassfurt.

That is all we know at this time.

Thank you for all your help.

Barbara in hot Houston :slight_smile:

Juergen,

I forgot. Yes, they were Lutheran.

Do you mean maybe EILSLEBEN and not EISLEBEN. It is also not far away from
Staßfurt.
I had a look into the church books of Eisleben. But nowhere i found the
name Heidecker.

Just think about it.

Best regards
