Hi my name is Dawn Green.
I am trying to research my HUONKER family roots. My mother was Winifred HUONKER born Sept. 8, 1917 in Corning, New York, USA, her parents were Wilhelm Julius HUONKER born Mar. 23, 1893 in Painted Post, New York, USA he died Feb. 11, 1960 in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA, he married Leona ALLEN. Wilhelms parents were Johannes "John" Georg HUONKER born May 9, 1872 in Leidringen, Wuerttemberg, Germany. He moved to Painted Post, New York, USA in about 1990, he married Elisabeth HILLMANN, they had 3 children. Wilhelm (above) Karl HUONKER born Jan. 29, 1902 in Painted Post, NEW YORK, died Dec. 23, 1933 in a car wreck, caused by a drunk driver of a Schaeffer Pretzel truck and there was also a daughter, Helen HUONKER birthdate unknown she died Dec. 24, 1942 in a car wreck, m. Harold Loudenslager then Rudy Speaker.
Johannes obituary said that his parents were Karl and Katherine HUONKER, but Elisabeths obituary said her parents were Carl and Catherine HILLMANN. I found out that her parents were Carl Joseph HILLMANN and Sophie WILLE from Soest, Westfalen, Preussen, Germany
I am totally stuck. I can not find anything.
I have Johannes Citizenship papers, and pictures of him.
Can any one HELP?
