Comments: I'm looking for information about the hometown in Germany of Karl and Albert WOEHR, who lived in Clyde and Lyons from the late 1800s. I have obtained Karl's immigration ship listing, in 1880, and both of their Naturalization papers, dated 1891 (Karl, changed to "Charles" by clerk), and 1899 (Albert), but no hometown is noted. I know that Karl (Carl) is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Lyons. Would his hometown be listed on death records or on church records (probably Lutheran)?

I spoke to Elsie Woehr DONOVAN in Clyde before her death in 2001, and she believed the hometown was "Furbach" or "Forbach", near Stuttgart, but I have not been able to verify the town, as there are several with similar pronunciation. Does anyone have the current address of Elsie's daughter Patricia Hall?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Comments: Looking for any info on the August L. Goedecke family. According to the 1860 census, the family was living in Lyons, New York. August was married to a Dorothy and had a number of children. His daughter, Bertha Goedecke married a Victor Hugo Klein and moved to St Louis. It appears that after the death of August, Dorothy moved there also as she is listed in the 1900 census. August was listed as a physician/surgeon.

Comments: Looking for any information on the August L. Goedecke family. He was a physician/surgeon living in Lyons, New York in 1860 (according to the census) with his wife Dorothy and a few children. I believe he lived there until he died and had several more children. I believe his wife moved to St Louis by 1900 where her daughter Bertha Goedeke was living, married to a Victor Hugo Klein. This is my actual connection.
