Looking for my Affeldt ancestors in Arnsfelde.

Supposedly Karl Ludwig Affeldt & Maria Schueller had 2 sons that we are aware of. Family Lore suggests there are more sons & daughters who may have stayed in Pommern with their parents to run a business the family was associated with.

Hermann Affeldt -(given name may be other than Hermann) born April 10, 1834 in Arnsfelde. He fled around 1860-61 with nothing but clothing on his back. Settled in Ill & Wisconsin. Whether he married & had children in Pommern is unknown.

Gustav Affeldt b. October 29, 1841 Arnsfelde- he married prior to 1867 to a Wilhelmine Schewes. We know of 5 children from this Union.
Ernestine or Ernstine b Jan 29, 1867 Arnsfelde, Wilhelmine b April 13, 1872, Louis b. Abt. 1874, Herman C. Affeldt b. August 12, 1875, Pauline Affeldt birth date UNKNOWN.

Around 1879-80 in Berlin Gustav remarried to a Wilhelmine Garske born Berlin in abt 1847.

A son born in Berlin -- August Affeldt April 13, 1881.
Their next child Ida was born in Wis. in 1885.

In abt 1884 they set sail for Cook County,Ill. where they resided a few months then set out for Outagamie County, Wisconsin .

Would love to be in contact with anyone researching this line, or who knows of Affeldt families in & around this area of Pommern.

Thank you,
Kathy
