1. HEINRICH¹ WESTENDORF He married GERTRUD SANDKER.

Notes for HEINRICH WESTENDORF:

The highest hill (Windberg, just north outside >Soegel town) is 239.5 feet above sea level. There are woody geest ridges (geest is the high and dry land of the North German coastal region), sand and dune regions, wide marshy meadow valleys and upland moors, so rather unsuited for agriculture Eisten is at 7 km (4.3 miles) south of Soegel. In 1823 there were 23 households at Eisten, 133 inhabitants.

Heinrich & Gertrude married elsewhere other than Eisten, possibly Ostenwalde or Wertle.

Heinrich prob. had a brother, Herman, who was a teacher at Ostenwalde, and a sister, Anna Margaretha.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, I looked Westendorf up in the Status Animarum 1749, which is a transcription of a church census. It mentions a Henric. Westendorff, catholic, age 20, who was a Knecht (farm hand) in the village of Spahn, just north of Sögel. He was working for Lucas Frese and his wife Columbina.

The only other Westendorf was Henricus Westendorpff (age 50, owned his own farm) from Ostenwalde, which is just to the east of Sögel. Henricus had a wife Elisabetha (40) and two children Joes Henricus 6 and Theodorus 3.

Sögel is a stone's throw from Teglingen (near Meppen) where my Otten relatives originated and from Dörpen, where my Frerkes relatives originated. Both settled in Davenport on Sturdevant St.

My mother was Marjorie Westendorf (married to Eugene, Sr.) The clippings are from her things. I got your web site url from Josie Westendorf Banks who lives in Las Cruces, NM.

Beverly Westendorf (widow of Eugene, Jr, my brother) gave me a letter she had received in Jan and was unable to answer. It was a request from a descendent of Gertrude Westendorf Hiebing. I printed your web site info and mailed it to her in Montrose, IA. She is 83 and was very happy to get the history. I also have newspaper clipping of your husband's grandparents wedding (William & Celesta Peterson).

Appreciate your web site very much. Let me know if you would like any of these things. We are at 4125 Washington Street, Davenport (319-391-9037). Our Email is by1@netexpress.net.
