I am descended from Phoebe Limboker, Saginaw County, Michigan. In researching the name I found several Limbokers in Kansas who are from Austria, but my line links with Limbacher somehow, although the person I correspond with in Michigan and I have not yet been able to find the connection. Phoebe had a brother named John, and sisters Augusta and Josephine. Limbockers in the 1870 census included John, Mary and Oren in Saginaw County and Osen in Shiawassee County in the 1850 census, and Thomas in Wayne County in the 1860 census.
Phoebe (Phoebie? - she spelled her name both ways) was married to William Van Patten and was my gggrandmother. If you know of any connection I'd be happy to talk with you.
