Hello list,
I'm wondering if anyone would have an idea about a mystery woman I've
come across. I don't know what her first name was. She was from Sonneborn,
Lippe, & her last name was RIEKE. She was born somewhere around 1820, I'm
guessing. She married Herman HOMUTH, & they had 7 children. (August Carl,
Herman, Fred, Louisa, Wilhelmina, Christine & Lena) Herman died & she married
his brother (first name unknown). They all came to Barrington, Illinois in
1871 or later.
I have a chart of the HOMUTH family of Barrington that says this mystery
lady was a sister of my gr-gr-grandmother, but I seem to have all my RIEKE's
accounted for, & this lady just doesn't fit. Who was the wife of Herman
HOMUTH of Sonneborn?
Also, have the church records for Sonneborn been filmed by the LDS?
Thanks Gloria
