I'm from the Juedes family in Nebraska. My great-grandparents were Wilhelm and Helena (Degner) Juedes born in late 1800s. They originated from Hebron, Nebraska (Thayer County). I believe Wilhelm was somehow related to August Juedes from the same area. A family cemetery is located at Friedensau Trininty Lutheran Church (maybe try a search of the church records) outside of Hebron. Also, the story goes that Wilhelm's family originated from Wisconsin. Also, there is a large Juedes poopulation somewhere in Oregon.
