I am looking for any additional information anyone may have about my ancestors.

Here is the info I have:

Christian Goke(b. 1811) his wife is Caroline(b. 1813)The 1860 Platteville, WI census indicates they are from Hannover,Germany.They came to the US in 1854.

This same census notes two sons. Ferdinand(b. 1839,Hannover,Germany) and William Frederick(b. Jan 1848,Hannover,Germany)

Ferdinand died 31 May 1891 in Grant Co., WI.
I do not know if he married or had any children.

William married Lena Cape(b. 1850 WI)
They had 12 children of which 10 were still living in 1900. Their children are: Caroline(1868),Annie(1870),Charles(1872),Rose(1874), Henry(1878),Henrietta(Dec 1879),August(1881),Esther Emma(7 Oct 1883-27 Dec 1940),Fred(6 Feb 1886-Feb 1965),Amanda(Dec 1889).

Esther was born in Platteville,WI and died in the township of Linden,Iowa Co.,WI. She was married to Mathew Peter Berg.

Fred was living in Michigan at the time of his death according to the Social Security Death Index.

I am interested in any additional info about earlier ancestors or descendants of these people. Please e-mail me at fbheller@ez-net.com

I note a William Goke c 1820 Prussia with son Christian c 1862 living in Rock Grove, Stephenson co IL. I looked them up as my gggrandmother who was from Stephenson co and who was living in Hampton IA in 1887, mentions inviting the Goke's and other "neighbors" for a visit Feb 16 1887.

Lizzie's husband, Henry Daniels, was from Rock City Stephenson Co IL.

I am interested in speaking with some about the Cristoph Wilhelm Goke & Sophie Dux Niedermeier Goke line. The First son Wilhelm is my Wilhelm (William) Niedermeier. I am thinking Sophie's first husband died in germany right before/after Wilhelm's birth and she got remarried to Cristoph Wilhelm & came over to the US w/ 5 kids (Wilhem, Maria, Heinrich, Freidrich, August) . Still trying to iron these things out.

Any help is much appreciate
