Margaret (nee Gebbeken) Linneman’s place of origin is Meppen, Germany when it appears on her children’s birth records. According to the 1900 census she came to America in 1887 and she was born Oct 1862. Margaret’s father’s name is Henry and I think that her mother’s name may be Agatha.
J. Herman Gebbeken appears in the 1910 census, Burlington, Nodaway Co., Missouri, with the estimated birth year of 1874. Other research shows he married Catherine O’Connor around 1914 and died around 1916.
Catherine Gebbeken appears in the 1920 census in Jackson Co. Missouri with children: Herman age 6, Francis age 4 and Virginia age 4. (There is also Mary Linneman, age 27 who is listed as a roomer at this address, and this is the daughter of William and Margaret Linneman. My logical assumption is that Catherine is the sister-in-law of Margaret, or at least some relative.)
I am trying to find additional information on these Gebbeken’s to complete this portion of my family tree.
Is there anyone who has information they would share?
