Dear Neil, I am interested in any info you have on Bredehoft and Klindtworth
(one line I am researching) and Leimkuehler my father's line. There is a
Fred Leimkuehler I found on a Cleveland census who was a nephew of my great
grandfather so I think the Cleveland Leimkuehlers are related to MO Leimkuehlers.
Have a Nice Day! Jill Leimkuehler
Jill,
Sorry for the delay. I live in Cole Camp, Missouri and I have a book
written by my friend Leonard Brauer on in his family history and in it he
has recorded information on Jochen Peter Klindworth b 10-9-1830, d.
3-28-1912. Wife Meta Theimann. They came to America in 1850 from Weertzen,
Germany, a town that lies east of the town of Heeslingen. Jochens parents
were:Johann Klindworth and Engel Petersen.
In the anniversary booklet of Holy Cross Lutheran church, there is a wedding
recorded between Jacob Bredehoft and Sophia Beckmann, 3-16-1873.
There is a Bredehoft family living here, but they moved here from Sweet
Springs, Mo.
Best wishes,
Neil
