Do you know Onkens/Onckens from Ardorf, Germany? I have recently found that is where my Onkens are from.
Helene Maria ONKEN-born July 13, 1881 in Ardorf.
d. June 11, 1909 in Anchor, Illinois
Helene is the daughter of Berend Gerdes ONKEN-b. June 2, 1839 in Ardorf
d. February 9, 1898 in Ardorf
Helenes mother- Hiemke Margaretha SCHOON- born March 6, 1845 in Wiesederfehn. Berend and Hiemke were married 1867 in Wittmund.
I am interested in finding out when Helene came to USA and who she came with.
I would also like to find out if OMMENS were friends of the ONKEN/ONCKEN family before they came to the states.
Thank you
