Looking 4 relatives...

Surnames: Godbersen & related
Feeling kinda lonely here in Sweden, being the only one left with that surname. My dad was Jens Godbersen, his twin brother is/was Uwe. Other brothers were/is Harald & Hans...
They came from/lives in Delve, Heide, Schleswig-Holstein.
I've tried LOTS of times to get in touch with them or any other relative over the years. Mostly some minor mail exchange take place, & then...nothing. Or, in Uwe's case, I got the "Salvation Army missing people branch" to look him up, but some woman, his wife I think, slammed the door on them (literary speaking) by claiming that he didn't want any contact with me whatsover, wich I heavily doubt he said. Surely he must be curious about the look of his twin brother's son...
Anyway, I don't give up. There must be someone out there willing to communicate with a close or distant relative, giving me a sort of "identity".
Don't be afraid, I won't bite...
;-)

I too am looking for Godbersen relatives. GG grandparents were Jes Godbersen and Ingelburg Feddersen. I was told by Family that they arrived in IL from Germany. Haven't been able to find out anything else. Maybe I am looking in the wrong part of the world? My G-grandmother was Emelia Godbersen Lemke from IL, USA. Any help you might have on the Surname origins would be greatful.

Dear Jamie, I can't help you much, but Jeß Godbersen and Ingeburg Dorothea Feddersen lived in Bordelum, Northfriesland, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany around 1880. Some of their children were born there: Hanna Christina 28. Sep 1878 in Sterdebüll, Nicolai Peter 26. June 1880 in Büttjebüll and another child, where I don't have the name on 24. Feb. 1882 again in Büttjebüll. Sterdebüll and Büttjebüll both belong to the parish of Bordelum. Both names Godbersen and Feddersen are northfrisian. So will have to look for them in Northfriesland.

Ingeburg Dorothea Feddersen

Dear Jamie, I found a Ingeburg Dorothea Feddersen. She was born on 31. Dec. 1858 in Sterdebüll. Neither she nor one of her 14 siblings married in the parish of Bordelum. Not even her parents died there. They must have moved or maybe some of them or all emigrated to the US. But I have no proof.
