Well, Hello Cousins!!!!
I have a George Wilhelm Christian Onken in my family, too!!I just got all the family tree information from my mother on Xmas Eve and haven't quite put together the Onken lineage we have yet, but I know it goes something like this: Hayo Harms & Freiderica Margaretha Goeken; George Wilhelm Christian Onken & Elizabeth Hardwick; Annie Louise Onken & George Campbell Hastings; Pearl Vadella Hastings & Harry Oliver Brewer; Lyle Frank Brewer & Jana Vannoy Felts; Freda Vadell (Brewer) Smith (and there are 2 more generations after me!!).I have copies of pictures of George Wilhelm and Elizabeth Hardwick and immigration dates.I am originally from the Atlantic/Marne area, but am now living in Ida Grove area in NW Iowa.I have alot of notes that my grandmother made about the Onken side of the family (she passed away in 1988 at age 86).Email me and I will share all I have.
