My Great Grandfather immigrated from either Germany before 1863. Most of the relatives who he traveled with were from Westphalia (Gescher, Coesfeld or Prussis). He moved to first Quincy, Illinois then settled in St. Charles, Missouri, where the family hales from. His son from E. Dahmann was Heinrich Wilhelm Robert Beste (changed to Henry William Robert) who married a Margaret Berter (changed from Beerter). Their eldest son was Robert William Beste of St. Charles, Missouri (my father). I am very interested about any information about my Great Grandfather's actual home in Germany and his ancestors.
