I am looking for information on the following GESBECK family:
I can only trace back to a Franklin H. Gesbeck who came over from Germany. His wife's name was Marie or Mariah, but
I don't know the maiden name.
Franklin and Marie/Mariah Gesbeck had at least one child: William L. Gesbeck (b. 8/15/1871). This William Gesbeck married and had at least one child: Harry Sylvester Gesbeck (b. 12/19/1894). Harry S. Gesbeck married Hazel ___? and had one child: Howard Sprague Gesbeck (b. 7/12/1916).
Howard Sprague Gesbeck married Joan Schutz, daughter of Edward Michael Schutz (b. 14 Feb 1890 in Kenosha, WI; d. Apr 1978 in Kenosha, WI), and Eva Pint.
I have had surprising difficulty finding information on the Gesbeck line. Maybe the name was spelled differently in Germany?? Gesbech, Gesbechsen, Gesback, et al.
If anyone has any information, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
