I'm searching for any information on the Goeb family. They came over from Germany some time around 1900 and settled in the Chicago area. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I do have a little bit of info on the Goeb's from this area if anyone is interested.

My new email address is pattimeyers67@aol.com

My grandfather was Valentin Goeb and he settled in Chicago along with his brothers Nick, Peter and Frank. Would you be related to any of them? Some settled in Oak Park. Would love to hear from you and exchange any information which might be helpful. I know there was another Goeb family which lived on the north side of the city. My mother said we weren't related but I wouldn't rule anything out at this point. Looking forward to hearing from you...

Hi, I am the daughter of John Goeb from Oak Park Ill. His father was Joseph Goeb who married Mary Stacey from Oak Park, Il. Joseph Goeb's father was Peter Goeb who remains a mystery as he disappearred from the family. I know Valentin Goeb is a relative and family did come from Germany. My mother is still in Oak Park and has more information than I. Thought I would drop you a line as I have been reading the Post on Goeb.

Valentin is my great-great grandfather. My great-grandfather was Henry Goeb. I really don't have much info on the Goebs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do you know Pattie Meyers? She's given me what info she has. The only thing I know is that my great-grandfather, Henry, was not a true Goeb and that he had a brother who was left behind in Germany. You can e-mail me directly, if you'd like, at jjbnanderson@msn.com. Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, Kathy,
I am the granddaughter of Valentine Goeb who is the brother of Peter Goeb. I keep in touch with Jamie. I don't know too much about Uncle Peter, just met him when I was a little girl and we visited Oak Park. I remember Marianne Friedel. Uncle Peter married Uncle Franz's wife Tante Marie after Uncle Franz died. Uncle Peter is buried in St. Mary's cemetery in Evergreen Park. My mom and my Aunt Frances lived with Uncle Franz after their father Valentine died. Would like to hear from you with any information you might have. Do you also keep in touch with Roger Goeb?

Hi Kathy, I have spoken to your mother a couple of times, but not lately. Are you interested in the whole Goeb genealogy? I haven't compared notes with your mom but I recently saw the Goeb listing on genealogy.com re Jerome Goeb. The father of John Valentin is Johann Simon and wife Kunigunde Klein. Would like to hear from you...Patti

Hi Patti,

Sorry it took so long to replay. I have not used this site that much. Yes I am interested in Goeb hisotry. The biggest mystery I have is what happedned to my grandfather's (Joseph Goeb) father. I think his name was Peter and Joe's mother we called littler Grandma. Little grandma raised Joe alone and I do not know if she was married or not. I do not have much history and I know Betty has information about family but none on my Great Grandfather. I never met him or do I know when he left.
Any thing you have I would appricate. I can send you my address if you can make copies. Thanks so much for your effort and look forward to your reply. Kathy

Kathy,
I know and met my g'uncle Peter who lived in Oak Park. I think this is the same man, isn't it, that you are referring to? After Tante Kate died, he married Tante Marie, the widow of his brother, my g'uncle Franz.

Please email me at www.pattimeyers67@att.net" target="_blank">www.pattimeyers67@att.net and we can share information....thanks for writing!

Kathy,
Joe's wife was Carrie, correct? She and Joe were my mother's godparents which is why my mom was baptized Caroline Josephine Goeb. It was the German custom, or at least the Goeb custom, to name the child after the godparents.

I have the Goeb genealogy back to the 1600s but not for our branches.

Hi,

So Joe Goeb is my great grandfather. Joe came over from Germany alone and then Caroline and her son Joe came later. Caroline Houser is little grandma and she lived with Aunt Gerturde and raised Joe alone. Do you have any information on Joe Goeb (great grandfather)?

thanks,
Kathy
