Mullenbrook

Hello,
I'm looking for my Mullenbrook family. William MULLENBROOK was born 6-December-1837 in Germany Full name is Frederick Henrich Wilhelm MULLENBROOK . He arrived in the U.S. 5-Aug-1859 according to his naturalization papers. In the death book it lists his parents as ? MULLENBROOK and ? SOHMAN. All born in Germany. He married in the U.S. and is buried in Dearborn County Indiana. He had several children, one being my G Grandmother Emma MULLENBROOK BILLINGSLEY.
Thank you

Hi Cindy:

I hate to say this, but with no more information than you
provided, you are looking for the proverbial needle in the
haystack.

Do the immigration papers state where he was from? It is
highly unlikely the papers said Germany unless he filed
them much later than 1859.

It would be like me asking if you have any information on
my GGF Hiram Pruett born in Indiana.

Go to FOKO.COM and one does come up in Westfalen and it has an e mail addy.

Hi Cindy,

     I see that the LDS search site does have three people in the 1880
census that came from Hannover. Do any of the census records on William
have Hannover listed rather than Germany? I don't see that he is in the1880
census - he may have died by then. However, there is a Dietrich Mullenbrook
from Hannover who lived in New Jersey and was born in 1837. Maybe a
relative of your William. And I would not be surprised that a variation of
the name would be Mullenbrock. The LDS does list some people with that name
from Germany. A person could change their name or the spelling of the name
when they became citizens.
      The telephone book in Germany lists no Mullenbrooks, but there is one
with the umlaut over the "u" in Bavaria:
   
    Müllenbrook Wolfgang (0 88 21) 5 33 95
82467 Garmisch-Partenkirche, Dreitorspitzstr. 68

      There are also some Müllenbrocks listed:

    
    Müllenbrock Benjamin (06 41) 96 61 98 40
35398 Gießen, Lahnstr. 27
Müllenbrock Dietrich Dr.med. (0 71 43) 3 15 33
74399 Walheim, Mörikestr. 10
    Müllenbrock Heinz-Joachim Prof.Dr. (05 51) 2 38 88
37075 Göttingen, Thomas-Dehler-Weg 14
    Müllenbrock Norbert (06 41) 7 95 48 74
35398 Gießen, Lahnstr. 27
Müllenbrock Wolfgang (0 30) 21 96 71 06
10789 Berlin, Rankestr. 33
Römermann Rechtsanwälte (0 30) 21 99 08-0
10789 Berlin, Rankestr. 33
Müllenbrock Wolfgang (0 30) 21 99 08-51

     You might want to call or write one of them. The two Giesen addresses
and the Gottingen are in what-used-to-be Hannover. Or contact that
professor - he might know something.
     
Good luck!
