My name is Roger
Haack. I found your email while searching the internet on “Julius Haack”. I too am looking for ancestors and wonder if we’re related.
My great great grandfather was
Julius Haack. I know virtually nothing about him, other than that he was from Germany, and not even the name of his wife.
His son, the only child I know about, was Louis
Emil Leopold Haack, born May 24, 1855 in
Bergen,
Brandenburg Germany. Married
Sophie Gundelach (born abt 1857 in
Neustadt, Germany. Died in 1886 during childbirth.)
Louis remarried Emma Johanna Catherine
Bebensee (born Mar 23, 1862 in Wandsbek,
Holstein Germany).
They had several children. One was
Julius August Henry
Haack born 1894 and another was my grandfather Paul
Claus Wilhelm Haack, born 1896.
As to immigration to
Nebraska, not too much is known.
There is a good record that
Sophie Gundelach immigrated on 25 May 1883. But we think Louis came in 1882 sometime. Probably Louis came over in 1882, and then sent for
Sophie in 1883.
Thanks in advance for any information that you can share.
Cheers,
Roger
