I'm attempting to discover something about my family history and genealogy in Nebraska, and further back, in Germany.  My paternal Grandfather was Herbert Harry Pfeiffer, Sr., and I know my father's family lived in Hooper, or around Fremont, NE.
I have discovered the names of Sue Pfeiffer, George Pfeiffer, Margaret Pfeiffer, "Mag" and Edna Pfeiffer.  My paternal Grandmother may have had the surname Bendle, and I know was related to a Ben Bendle.

Joe Thurstenson  Tue, 02 Mar 1999 20:25
I am trying to learn of my Grandfather's activities and residence when he first arrived in America in 1888.  His destination on his ticket was Hooper.  He was escorting Elna Persdotter Lund, 34 years old and her daughter Ingrid Lovisa, 4 years old.  They were joining Ola Lund (born 6/17/1849) who had gone ahead to prepare their home a year earlier.  I would like to learn what I can about the Lunds, also.

I have notes indicating Peter Thurstenson was on a farm near Craig until about 1905 when he purchased a farm in Anoka, NE.  I also learned from a newspaper clipping from an Oakland newspaper that he took care of his nephew, Swen Anderson (April 26, 1901) while Swen was very sick.  This was done in Peter's home in SE Logan twp.  Where would this location be?

I believe he may have had his sister, Elsie Thurstenson (Elna Jönsdotter) living with him during this time as well as a nephew, Emil Anderson.  Swen's brother, Per Anderson and sister Anna may have also lived with Peter for a time after their immigration to the US.  Anna later married Ben Benson and moved to near Kansas City - could Ben Benson have come from Dodge Co?  Another clue - I think they would have attended the Swaburg Lutheran church north of Hooper.  I know Swen and
his wife Hannah are buried there.  Does this church still exist?

Any clues on any of these people would be appreciated.  My wife and I are planning a researching trip to this area during the first two weeks of July.  Hopefully we can tread upon some of the same ground my ancestors did.

Searching for information on the HILDING or HILLDING family that migrated from Sweden.  There were five sisters all born in   Hässleby, Jönköping Län, Sweden.  The five sisters were Johania Maria Hilding (born Aug 21, 1842), Christina Carolina Hilding (born Apr 4, 1845);  Sarah Mathilda Hilding (born Dec 4, 1847); Anna Sophia Hilding (born Aug 13, 1855), and Augusta Louisa Hilding (born Aug 28, 1858). Johania Maria Hilding married Jones Magnus CARLSSON in Burlington, Iowa in 1880 and I believe soon after migrated to Omaha, NE.  They may have had a daughter named Geneive.  I do know that at least one of the sisters migrated to Dodge Co. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

 I am researching the family of Edward and Elsie Burch, my grandparents,  who lived in Dodge, Nebraska and later moved to North Bend.  Edward died around 1938. They had 6 children, 3 who lived to be adults.  I would like information on their early years in Nebraska, the brothers and sisters of Edward, one who was Jessie Burch, later became Jessie Harris.  Edwards parents were Benjamin and Ann Starkweather Burch I believe.  I have found cemetary records on these people in Glencoe, but also know that Edward and Elsie had twin boys who died in infancy, and a daughter Mabel who died as a young child.  Any information would be so appreciated.  Edward and Elsie were the parents of my mother, who is the remaining child alive, and is 86 years old.

Erik Højstrup Christensen  Thu, 8 Apr 1999 17:28
We did not know much of our relatives in USA or Denmark. We had in the past years found out a lot of our family. And only because the American part of the family had found some old letters written in Danish to the uncles in USA. 3 brothers emigrated, In 1884, 1888 and 1901. And all to Fremont, NE.USA. The brother emigrated in 1884, Christian Christensen, born in1860, had left a huge family, and they are calling for a reunion in Fremont, NE, in July. 1999. Lars or Louis Christensen, born in 1874, the brother emigrated in 1888, left no family alive at all. The oldest brother, Niels Peter Christensen, born in 1854,  emigrated in 1901 is giving  me all the troubles. But we know for sure, that all three brothers first stop in USA were Fremont, NE.

File from the Danish police emigration office, when he emigrated:
Name, Occupation, Age, Destination, Contract No., Reg.date, Birthplace, Birth Parish, Last res, Dest. country, IDcode
Christensen, Niels Peter, Mejerist, 47, Fremont, Nebr., 640, 5/20/01, Jerlev, Jerslev, Understed, USA, D9701C2613

He arrived on vessel "Norge" in New York early  July 1901. I know from other Danish  source material  that he was born 1854, May 22nd, in Sterup, Jerslev, Hjørring.  He became a widower in 1888, and a his only child died in 1892. The only link we have to Niels Peter Christensen are two very old letters. One mentioned his only daughter Astrid, and the other one where the heading is Dear uncle and aunt, and signed Henry Christensen from Wisconsin. This letter dated 1924. December 19th.
I will, yes all in our family will be very grateful, if it will be possible for you to help us, to find our relatives.
