Hi Gene,
Hopefully I can help you, as I am a descendant of Elizabeth Engelen, dau of Diedrich and Catherine Engelen. Elizabeth was born in Prussia about 1840 and married Jacob Wilmsen/Willemsen/Williamsen in Carver Co. Minn. Probably in Benton township. How are you descended from Diedrich?
I have a record of a Diedrich Engelen who married a Cathrina Schnieders on 19 Sept. 1826. A Civil ceremony which took place in Hochemmerich, Rheinland, Prussia. I believe this is the couple we are researching.
I will have to look up my records and get back to you. One thing that I remember is the parents of Diedrich were William and Sybilla Engelen. I believe this info. was from Diedrih's obituary.
Do you have anything on William? Or, on the other children of William and Sybilla?
Sorry, I do not know where Diedrich and Catherine/Katherina Engelen are buried. Or even if they had tombstones. I do have their 1880 Census record (Benton twn) Diedrich was age 76 and Catherin age 78. They were living alone at that time.
All for now....
Jean Williams
