Thank you for the information. In reference to the names contained in your
note as shown below.
1) Anton REPKING (Nov 12, 1825 - Oct 06, 1907) is my Great-Grandfather
Ahnentafel 8. He emigrated August 6, 1846. His parents are Franz Anton REPKING
(Aug 16, 1784 - Sep 13, 1855) and Maria Anna KUHLMAN (Jul 21, 1796 - Jan 08,
1856). They arrived in New Orleans on November 5, 1849.
2) I believe Dirk is really Johan Theodor Arnold REPKING (Dec 18, 1819 - Aug
07, 1856). I do not have an emigration date for him. Family lore says he
was a stowaway. He was the first teacher at the St Aloysius Catholic Church
grade school in Bishop Township, Effingham County, Illinois.
What occupation is a Dienstknecht?
3) Elizabeth REPKING is Catharina Elisabeth Repking (Jul 07, 1817 - ?). She
came with her parents and arrived in New Orleans on November 5, 1849. I
have been unable to trace her after that date.
I did find Haustochter in my German dictionary - Mother's help.
4) Johan Heinrich REPKING (Jul 27, 1829 - Nov 01, 1907) is the brother of
Anton, Dirk and Elizabeth. He arrived with his parents on November 5, 1849.
5) I made an error. The correct name is Franz Henrick SCHLEPER ( Nov 18,
1817 - May 14, 1900). He was born in Bretberg, Lohne, amt Vechta, Oldenburg.
I do not have a Franz Joseph SCHEPER in my data base.
I have the family history back to Hinrik REBBEKINCK who was born about 1440
in Telbrake, amt Vechta, Oldenburg. The Family lived in Telbrake and
attended St Marien Church in Oythe.
