She was born March 25, 1842 in Germany, and died January 09, 1924 in Summerfield, St. Clair County, Illinois.}; William Tecklenburg, who resided in Carlinville, Macoupin County, Illinois in 1898; Henry Tecklenburg, who resided in Germany in 1898; Phillipine Christine Elenora Tecklenburg, b. November 01, 1825, Bueckeburg, Schaumburg-Lippe, Germany; d. September 08, 1921, Mascoutah, St. Clair County, Illinois {married Johann Jacob Single October 01, 1853 in Bedford, Indiana.

Hello,
I am researching the name "Teckleberg" which I found in a church record for my great, great grandmother. She was married to Heinrich Woebbeking and their children lived around Buckeburg. Could this name be Tecklenburg instead? Have you ever heard of the name Teckleberg in your research? Any opinion or help would be greatly appreciated. Three of their children, Woebbekings, settled in Springfield, Illinois, in the 1880's.
Thanks,
Mary

Hello Mary,

I have seen the "Tecklenburg" surname interpreted as "Teklenberg", "Tekelnburg", "Ticklenburg" "Jecklenburg", "Fecklenburg", "Tacklenburg" and sometimes with -berg as the suffix vs. -burg. My branch of "Tecks" are sometimes found without the 'c' in the Bueckeburg Church records. The IGS {Immigrant Genealogy Society} in Burbank, Calif. has the Bueckeburg Church Archives.

Thank you, Joe, for that information regarding the Bueckeburg Archives and for all the spelling variations. I am still "stuck" at this point, unable to get back any further, but maybe I can check into those church archives. That was a good tip. Good luck on your research.

The Tecklenburgs in Charleston, SC seem to enjoy many of your surnames. Henry, William, Christian, Frederick, etc. are all common names in our family. The family left the town of Tecklenburg, Germany and came to Charleston in the early 1800's to avoid the Prussian draft.

There may be a connection, but if there is, it is probably 1700s or earlier. My branch immigrated from the towns in the vicinity of Bückeburg, Schaumburg-Lippe - south of Tecklenburg about 1850 and had resided in that vicinity at least as far back as 1823. The descendants of my family group settled in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio (probably for similar reasons - one of my ancestors was conscripted into the Schaumburg-Lippe Fusiliers). My Tecklenburg branch moved to the St Louis, Missouri area by 1900. There was a Felix and Ferdinand Tecklenburg in St Louis prior to 1850, but I have not found a connection (their probates are avail on the Missouri SOS Website). It seems there are a several family groups of Tecklenburgs by 1900: Your South Carolina branch, my Midwest branch, a New Mexico/California branch, and another in Pennsylvania. I also found a Henry Tecklenburg from Hanover who settled in the Belleville area of St Clair County, Illinois and I have not been able to connect his branch. There may be others, but with the name so uncommon it appears by there were only a handful of concentrations. My Uncle Rob happened to be in the town on Tecklenburg at a time when they had some kind of reunion for all those bearing the name Tecklenburg, so perhaps we are all related.
