While searching for my father's Baack ancestors 15 years ago, some wonderful folks from the Klemme, Iowa area dictated, from memory, a list of descendents of Wilhelm Friedrick Baack. Some I have verified, many I have not, but I would love to share it with anyone interested.

My informtion states that the Baacks came from Mecklenburg-Strelitz, perhaps a place called Teeswoos. If you look at a map of Germany in the 1880s, in what is today East Germany, along the Elbe River, there is a little area where all the towns have doulble vowel spellings -- like Baack -- it's kind of strange, because it seems to be a very small region where this occurs.

My grandfather was Howard Charles Baack b.1916, d.1977. He married my grandmother, Alida Schubert on Feb 2, 1938 in Klemme, IA. I would appreciate any help you could give me on tracing the Baack family history. Thank you!
