I occasionally work on my family's history. We are from the Western Germany/Netherlands areas and settled in Clinton County Illinois. I've traveled there several times visiting the old towns and church where my ancestors came from. Our Surnames includ Foppe, Stukenberg, Seibert, Fonke, Jansen, Kemper, Weh, Korte, Becker, Schneider, Duing, Gutwein, Dickhaut, Stockmann, Teke, Benthen and many others.
