Barbara,
No, he didn't die intil 20-April-1928 in Ohio County, Indiana. Even tho he
lived mostly in Dearborn County, Indiana. How strange.

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: �
   �
    M�llenbrook Wolfgang (0�88�21) 5�33�95 �
82467 Garmisch-Partenkirche, Dreitorspitzstr. 68 �

      There are also some M�llenbrocks listed:
�
    �
    M�llenbrock Benjamin (06�41) 96�61�98�40 �
35398 Gie�en, Lahnstr. 27 �
� M�llenbrock Dietrich Dr.med. (0�71�43) 3�15�33 �
74399 Walheim, M�rikestr. 10 �
    M�llenbrock Heinz-Joachim Prof.Dr. (05�51) 2�38�88 �
37075 G�ttingen, Thomas-Dehler-Weg 14 �
    M�llenbrock Norbert (06�41) 7�95�48�74 �
35398 Gie�en, Lahnstr. 27 �
� M�llenbrock Wolfgang (0�30) 21�96�71�06 �
10789 Berlin, Rankestr. 33 �
� R�mermann Rechtsanw�lte (0�30) 21�99�08-0 �
10789 Berlin, Rankestr. 33 �
� M�llenbrock 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!
Barbara

Cindy,
    Why do I not find him on the 1880 census on the LDS page?

   I ask that about a couple of my ancestors, too. I KNOW they were in Fayette County, Illinois, in 1875 and in 1890. But I can't find them there or anytwhere else in 1880.

Sometimes one has to look page by page. I found my great granmom by using her
first name only and age and state - turns out her last name was spelled with an
"L" instead of an "S" by the transcriber.

take care

I have had similar experiences. I know my grandfather lived in Colton,
California, in 1930, but neither the LDS site nor Ancestry.Com could come up
with him on the 1930 census. Later I was searching for my grandfather's sister
who had emigrated from Canada to California. My search revealed her living with
my Grandfather in Colton ! No explanation of why the search engines were unable
to find him.

Hi to Census searchers:

In the 1800's census takers homes of origin were varied. As a result, the script they used for a specific letter may look like another letter to you or the person transcribing the name.

As for computers, they search for exactly what you enter and nothing else, unless you use a search engine which allows you to put in some variables. But then you have to put in the variables which match those that were originally entered in the data base. Some searches allow you to use "wild card" searches, but the best is usually a search using the "PWA" developed Soundex system.

In some German writing, the capital S can look very much like a capital L. Re: Edna M Bentz.

Hi Cindy,
if your search is not successful you might consider the spelling
Moellenbrook.

Hi Cindy,

      I found the Professor Müllenbrock at the University of Göttingen. If
you do a Google search for Müllenbrock, you will come across his name
repeatedly. Since there's an email address, I would write him that way.
You have nothing to lose. Academic types are always curious, so I would
think he might be very interested in your Müllenbrock ancestor. Or at least
he'd give you an idea where your guy came from.

     Here it is:
         hmuelle8@uni-goettingen.de

It'd be interesting to see what he'd have to say. By the way, there are
more than one Göttingen--but the university is in the old Hannover area.

Good luck,
Barbara
