I have a great grandmother Wilimina or Minnie Retemeyer, Ritmar, Rettemyer and so many ways I can't remember what all ones I have tried. I wonder when yours were in Cook County, Illinoins. My Minnie came to the US in 1857 according to the census's and they were in Iowa, Missouri and then in 1900 and 1910 they were in Richland County, Illinois then I lose them. I can't find them listed in a cemetery or anywhere in this area but believe I saw a Minnie Moore who died in Chicago and not sure but there might have been a Alphonso or Alfonso too so that could be them. I sure wish I knew how to find this family she had to have came from Germany with her parents or someone as she was only about 3 but can't find any names of parents or a ships record where she is listed. Would appreciate any ideas you have for tracing them it might be part of the same family do you think so ?

Wilheminie 'Minnie' Retemeyer born Abt 1854 in Hanover, Germany or Prussia, Germany have seen both. She came to this country in either 1856 or 1857 according to the census and married Alphonso Moore who was born in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia they married I think? in Lincoln, Calhoun, Iowa bef 1870. Boy that is a lot of trying to figure things out with not many facts. Hope they maybe are the same family ?
