Just found out that a great-uncle of mine, Kasjen Tebben, died in December of 2001. His parents were Mateus Tebben and Kathrina (Katie) Brouwer. He was born in March of 1914. Anyone related to him? Thanks.

I found a plat book at the Minnesota Historical Society that lists an M. Tebben with wife as Katie and child as Kasjen. It shows his property of 160 acres. It also lists K. Tebben, John Tebben, Herman Tebben, and Conrad Tebben. I think it's from 1920? Your Clara City is part of Rheiderland Township, which the map is of.

That is good info..promising anyway. M. Tebben and Katie were my great grandparents, and they did have an oldest son named Kasjen. Did you get any other info off from that book? Who were the other individuals you listed? Relatives or just other people? Thank you very much.

He was my grandpa through marriage. He raised his family (four boys) in the Bunde, MN area just outside of Prinsburg; before moving to Sioux Falls, SD - Sioux Center, IA - and finally Grand Rapids, MI. He is burried in the cemetary behind Bunde Christian Reformed Church. His wife Etta Barbara Ulferts/Tebben was burried beside him a few years following. My wife maintains her maiden name b/c of Kasjen Tebben (and his son/her dad Davis).

What a great find. Thank you for the reply. Do you or your wife have genealogical information on that family line? I could use any information on names, dates, and places. Thank you.

How much more do you know about him and Etta? I don't know much about the Tebben line past about 2 or 3 generations back from me. Any info would be appreciated.
