My maternal great-grandparents, while all born in the United States, are all of Ostfriesian extraction. For the most part their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents were immigrants-all to Hancock or Adams Counties in Illinois (with the exception of one set who went to Brown County) between 1855 and 1883. It’s not just that their parents\/grandparents were immigrants. All these immigrants\u00a0were \u00a0from a cluster of several villages near Aurich (with the exception of one set from near Etzel). As a result there is\u00a0a good chance that my great-grandparents are biologically\u00a0related to each other.<\/p>\n

And some of them were. I decided to use my\u00a0RootsMagic\u00a0<\/em>software to determine the relationships. There were not as many relationships as I originally thought, but my data entry is incomplete. In the interest of space, I’m not going to repeat all the birth and death information here (it’s on my ahnenlist<\/a>). I’m still in the process of entering information from the Wiesens area into my database-and since three of my great-grandparents have ancestors from that area, there’s a good chance I have more relationships.<\/p>\n

I’ve listed every combination of my great-grandparents below. My Habben great-grandparents were related to each other several ways. My great-grandfather had a set of ancestors who were first cousins once removed and another set of ancestors who were second cousins.<\/p>\n

Fred Ufkes and Trientje (Janssen) Ufkes–husband and wife<\/strong><\/p>\n

fourth cousins once removed–Johann Hinrichs Borjes (born 1687) and Aaltjen Roolfs (born 1701)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Ufkes and Mimka John Habben<\/strong><\/p>\n

None yet based upon information currently entered into my database.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Ufkes and Tjode (Goldenstein) Habben<\/strong><\/p>\n

None yet based upon information currently entered into my database.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trientje (Janssen) Ufkes and Mimka John Habben<\/strong><\/p>\n

fourth cousins–Roolf Alberts (born 1710) and Gretke Janssen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trientje (Janssen) Ufkes and Tjode (Goldenstein) Habben<\/strong><\/p>\n

None yet based upon information currently entered into my database. However, they both have Sartorius lines from the same small village and there’s a 99% chance they connect on these lines.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mimka John Habben and Tjode (Goldenstein) Habben–husband and wife<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are several duplicate ancestors that my Habben great grandparents share. Their common ancestors are all from Holtrop. They are:<\/p>\n

1. Fifth cousin (common ancestors: Hinrich Ulfers ([born 1667] & Ancke Jansen)
\n2. Sixth cousin once removed (common ancestors: Lubbe Habben [baptized 1636] & Moder Emen [born 1643])
\n3. Seventh cousin (common ancestors: Eme Lampen & Tutter)
\n4. Seventh cousin (common ancestors: Luppe Lutets & Tjabbend Willms)
\n5. Seventh cousin (common ancestors: Willem Aden & Veyke )
\n6. Seventh cousin once removed (common ancestors: Eme Lampen & Tutter Jurgens)
\n7. Seventh cousin (common ancestors: Eme Lampen & Tutter)
\n8. Seventh cousin (common ancestors: Tjarck Ihnen & Eite Djuden)
\n9. Seventh cousin (common ancestors: Willem Aden & Veyke )
\n10. Seventh cousin once removed (common ancestors: Garlt Roden & Eyte )<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note<\/strong><\/em>: This will be updated when I’ve completed my data entry. I have a suspiscion there are more relationships I just don’t have entered in yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
