I do not have any records for you of Wilke in 1839. However the name does
appear in the "Kirchspiel Lohne" book by Freiderich Steinkamp. Under the
entry "zusammenfassung Wilcke /Wilcking/Wilke/Wilking" there are about thirty
names. The latest is Maria Elizabeth Wilke born in 1758.
The name Wilkinck/Wilking/ appears 33 times among the baptisms of St Marien
Church in Oythe between 1650 and 1745,
The following entries are in Dr Pagenstert's book, "Bauernhöf im amte
Vechta" - Wilke (Einen), Wilke (Hogenbögen), Wilke (Lohne), Wilke (Runnenbaum),
Wilke (Hinnenkamp), Wilke Macke, Wilke Flöttel, and Wilke (Kokenwahlde). Each
gives a history of the farm.
If you contact me off-line, I can send you a jpg image of any of the
Pagenster's entires if you desire.

Hello,
I am researching the Wilke family that might be from Vetcha or Goldenstedt
My great grandfather was Johann Heinrich Wilke born in 1839
He married Anna Maria Zehusen born in 1841
They had 5 children:
Henrich born in 1866
August born in 1868 -
Johanna born in 1875
Marie born in 1879 died in Germany before 1891
Franz born in 1885 in Goldenstedt
They might have had other children unknown to us.
The family came to the USA in 1892 except for August who came in 1896.
Any information about this family would be appreciated especially the
parents of
Johann Heinrich Wilke if found.
Thank you
Larry
