Hello,
My name is Tim Grabbe and I was born in Indiana. My family came to America in the mid
1800's and settled in Widner township, Knox county, Indiana.
Fredrick Herman Grabbe was born in 1823-24, Prussia. First found in the 1860 census.
Married Louise Wegner born in Prussia in 1839 also first found in the 1860 census. Fred
and Louise had 6 children; Fred Herman, Charles, Henry H, Lydia, Jane and William. Henry H
is my GG Grandfather, born Sept 1865 in Freelandville, Knox county, Indiana. Henry married
Louise Held, born May 1866 in Freelandville. Louise's father is Johann Frederich
Wilhelm Held, born May 1816 in Wüsten, Lippe Detmold. Johann came to the US in 1847-48.
Married Sophia Louise Dickman who was born in Sept 1826, Augustdorf, Lippe Detmold, The
where married in 1848 in Knox county, Indiana.
I have alot of information on the family, but there is still alot of missing peices.
Like Ship Records, places of Birth, Marriage certificates, Parents, brothers and sisters.
If there is anyone out there that has any information that would be able to help me I
would appreciate the information greatly.
I have also posted on other mail list for information
Thanks
Tim
