Hello to all, I am new list subscriber, and I am very impressed with the information that can be found here! I just hope this will help solve a few mystery's in my family. A search of the list's archives turned up a message dated 1997/11/1 from Fred Rump, talking about the Tegenkamp family and Cohorst Family traveling together to Teutopolis, Illinois. My question is if anyone has any additional information on the Cohorst Family mentioned in that message? I am descendant of Joseph Cohorst Sr. born in Germany. I believe his parents were John and Catherine (Kenter) Cohorst (Kohrst), who remained in Germany. Our family story is that Joseph Cohorst came to America when he was 7 years old in 1845 with an older brother. They settled in Teutopolis and lived with the Kenter Family, and then later the older brother left to go further west and was never heard from again. I would like to find out a village or town my Cohorst ancestors came from in Germany. Or if there is a link to the family mentioned in the 1997/11/1 message, which mentions Schwege near Dinklage. As far as we know there were only the 2 brothers that came over. I am also looking for Johann Henrich Niemeyer born Feb. 24, 1820. First record found is of him in Cincinnati, Ohio where he applied for US citizenship. He married Catherina Maria Kerch Sept. 22, 1846 and in 1847 they moved to Teutopolis, Illinois. We cannot find any mention of a town or Kreis he came from. Our suspicion is that since he knew about and moved to T-Town he may have been from the same area as the other T-Town settlers. I have a lot of history and family information for people in the Teutopolis, Effingham, Green Creek, Island Grove and Dieterich areas in Illinois, that I may be able to help someone else with. Other names I'm searching for are: Roepke, Dust, Wolfert, Tastowe, Stadhofer, Feldhake, Steinke, Wegman besides, the Cohorst, Kenter, Niemeyer, and Kerch Names. With Sincerest Thanks, Lisa (Roepke) Niemeyer Effingham County, Illinois
