Looking for info on my ggrandfather Hinderk Geiken
and my ggrandmother Antje (Anna) Lauterbach Geiken
They came into the US in 1892 to the port in Baltimore, Maryland

Hello,
I´m from Eastfrisia and we are looking for a man called Thomas Geiken. He is going to USA about 1900. He stands in a relationsship to my grandfather dont know how? Perhaps a cousin or a greatuncle. He lived somewhere in Iowa

My great, great grandfather Johann Geiken had a brother Thomas. According to my great, great grandfather's obituary his brother Thomas was living in Sibley, Iowa in 1921. This is the only information I have on Thomas. Johann Geiken was born in Brockmahan (spelling), Ost Friesland Germany 3/16/1858. He immigrated to the USA in 1886. There was two additional brothers, Onke and Peter. Johann, Onke & Peter all resided in Illinois

Birgit,

I have found a a picture of Thomas Geiken with your realtive Anna. I tried to e-amil it to you but the e-amil address I have for you is no longer working. Please respond if you get this message so I may forward the picture to you. Hope all is well.

Diane -
I read your previous posts about Thomas and Annie Geiken in Sibley Iowa. I believe that Thomas is somehow connected to Wubke Guiken who married Wiebo Ebeling and they were living in Sibley at that time. What can you tell me about Thomas and did they have a sister Wubke? Do you have info on any of them?

Diane -
My name is Jennifer Ebeling by the way - didn't mean to leave that out on my post. I live in Maple Grove MN.

I am looking for related Geikens from Harrison, Boone, Iowa.
Martin Geiken & Hattie Geiken married and had children.
1930 US Federal Census: Vera, Irene, Alan, Norman, Delbert.

I married Norman Geiken's daugther Barbara.

Norman Geiken was married to Bonnie Phillipson, who was thought to have been adopted. Any information on the Phillipson or Geiken family connections would be very helpful.

I Know Geikens are still in the Davenport, Iowa area.

Hi Diane, Is there a way you could send me a copy of this picture? Anna (Antje) is my greatgrandmother. Thank You

Hi Don,
Unless I have my wires crossed (which has never personally happened to me, of course), I am a cousin to your wife.

The connection goes back to:
Regina Kusler b: 08 JUL 1877
Spouse: Philip Pressler b: 13 Jan 1869

and flows into:

Hertha Regina Pressler b: 16 SEP 1896
Spouse: Rev. Martin Geiken b: 28 JUN 1893

and I think you have a good handle on what has followed.

Let me know if you want to trade notes.

In the meantime, please say Hi! to Barb for me. -JWK-
