Hi,
I am trying to help someone with their family and wonder if there is
someone who can help me. I am looking for a record of the birth of William and
Fred WESTERBECK,both I believe to be sons of Albert Hermann WESTERBECK (born
11 Dec 1812 Schildeshe) and his wife Anna Maria KOCH. They were married 25
August 1839 Evangelisch Joellenbeck. I believe Fred may be Johann Friedrich
WESTERBECK born 21 Sept 1845 Joellenbeck,although in the 1900 Census in Iowa,he
lists his birthdate as Oct 1845. This is as close as I can get to finding a
record for him on the LDS site. In a later Census,he is listed as born in
Dellenbeck (sp). His possible father, Albert Hermann WESTERBECK,was also an
immigrant to the US in Iowa and is later living with his son William WESTERBECK
(1920),as he was widowed between 1910 and 1920. William was born 24 May 1840 in
Westphalen,Prussia. There is also another sibling Henry,whom I believe to be
Johann Heinrich WESTERBECK born 25 September 1842,Joellenbeck. Any help with
sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cindy Fregoe
