Hello! I am related to the Northern IL Dettman's. My grandmother was a Dettman. Her father was Frank but her mother's name was Marie. I wonder if we are on the same track or off. I am just starting this side of the family. I am pretty sure her dad came over from Germany. Anything you can share with me would be greatly appreciated. I can share what I know about Frank's children. Thanks! I can be emailed at kcwelch@frontiernet.net if that works better for you then on here. Thank you!!

My Charlie Dettman b. Feb 22, 1832, was legally Johan Karl Freidrick Dettman, but went by Charlie. He and Carolina Louisa Christina Westphal, b. Aug 30, 1835, and at least 1 child, Anna, came to America Jun 20, 1863 from Hamburg to NY on the "Deutschland". They had a son, Johan, born 1862 in Germany, but I don't know if he lived to come to America. Their other children were Karl Charles Oscar, Mary, John Henry, John Frederick, Eliza Louisa, Lena Etta, Phoebe Frieda, Edward Karl, Lewis. With the names in common with the family you mention, I think they must be related. Would like any info you have on your Charles Henry and his family.

Sorry, no Adolphs found in the family. Remember, Dettman can be spelled lots of different ways, as shown by all the variations I have found in my family alone...I,E,Y interchangable, and double and single T and N. A double N is often used by ethnic Germans, but not always.

Hi. I'm looking for my Dettman relatives. What I have been able to piece together so far: my paternal Aunt Maude
"Mattie" (maiden surname believed to be Dryden) married a Dettman (possibly Adolph). They lived in Chicago IL in the 1930s. Maude had a sister who married a Frank J. Burke, and I know they had at least two daughters (one is Helen Louise [nee Burke] Arnolds). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PHOTO: L-R foreground: Burke girl (Mattie's niece, floral dress, white bolero jacket, beret); Burke girl (Mattie's niece, while sleeveless dress and white hat); unknown female in striped dress. L-R background: Mattie Dettman (print dress, dark hat); Eugene McSweeney (my granddad); Lizzie McSweeney (my great-grandaunt, tallest in group); unknown older female (light clothing). Date Taken: 26 AUG 1931; Place Taken: Chicago, IL

I have a silver-toned pocket watch engraved "From Maude to Eugene 1912". I believe this might be the Maude who gave the pocket watch to my granddad Eugene when he was 8 years old (I inherited the watch from my Dad).

Hi! I'm looking for my Dettman relatives from Chicago. I believe my aunt Maude "Mattie" (nee Dryden) Dettman married an Adolph. I have no other searchable info on the Dettmans than this tiny bit, and that their were Burke and McSweeney relatives through their Dryden connections. Any Adolph in your family tree? I have photos of Maude from 1931. Thanks for any help you can give me. Kati McSweeney celticmc@gmail.com

I am the gggranddaughter of Sophia Dettman/Dudman Dawson. You are right about the name change creating a great deal of confusion. I am afraid I do not have any information about the family beyond John and Dorah (and very little about them), but would be happy to share any of Sophia's information with you. You can contact me direct at sdawson@unnet.com

EileenAnderson28 — 2005-11-12 13:44:07Z

Ray,
You didn't tell us where your Dettmans lived. My Dettmans came from Germany ~1852 and first lived in Blue Mound, Walworth County Wisconsin before moving to Marquette, Green Lake County, Wisconsin. They were William Dettman b. 1825 d. and his wife Caroline Jahnke b. 1827 d. 1911. Their children were: Wilhelmina, Mary, Fredrick, John, Henry, Anna, Emma, and Lyddia b. 1878. Any relation?

Re: Lillian Henrietta Helen (Dettman) STEBBE

2005-08-04 01:25:26Z

Mr Lightfoot, Lillian is my grandmother. I happened to put Stebbe in the search engine (not a lot of Stebbe's out there) and saw your message. Lillian died in 1930 so we don't have many photo's, etc. I'd love to know what you have.

Re: Lillian Henrietta Helen (Dettman) STEBBE

2005-06-14 17:37:43Z

Hi Eileen,

I am not a descendant of the Dettman family. I have aquired a photo of Lillian taken about 1915 with the family information typed on a sheet attached to the back. I would like to pass it on to a family member if they can be located. I am some what familiar with Walworth Co., Wisconsin as I spent the first 43 years of my life in Winnebago Co. Illinois. I could not find a STEBBE board so I decided to post on the DETTMAN board.

Hi, I am looking for info on the Toph side. I beleive that my great aunt edith was a Toph. I have a few old pictures of Mary, Joseph and I think a Pert. in Wendt South Dakota. a couple were addressed to J.H. Toph Ill. I think their might be a connection there, Please email me if you think so too.

Re: Henry and Anna Jacobs Dettman, Illinois

Pallas76 — 2004-09-21 19:27:11Z

Careen,
I am absolutely thrilled to hear this. I wasn't sure if she was a Toph until now. All of the places and names do sound right. I cannot wait to see some of your info. It really helps me to fill in this space I had in my tree and to understand fully my family. My great aunt Edith and Great Uncle Frank raised my grandmother, Jane Thornsbrough. Please email me at cruella76@hotmail.com and we can chat about our info.
Thanks again!

Their child is Marie Friedericka Caroline born 26 August 1877 in Danville IL. Emma Dettman Peterson, still living in 1958 in Tennessee. Esther Dettman Toph, died 1973.

Re: walter dettman

2004-05-22 23:17:36Z

If you have any of these names: Esther Dettman Toph d. 1973, (Aunt) Emma Dettman Peterson (husband Seth), Harry Grey (may still be living??), and now going back into the 1800s, Ludwig Dettman and Caroline nee Anders, Marie Friedericka Caroline b. 26 August 1877 we have a connection.

did you get anything new? I'm still working on the trees. Have found out a few more things. Remember family reunion in WI in July.

Re: Henry and Anna Jacobs Dettman, Illinois

Careen51 — 2003-05-10 20:13:15Z

If your Great Aunt Edith was a Toph, we are related. She is my Great Grandmother. There is Joe Harper Toph in the tree, and Bert (not Pert--but old handwriting is difficult). There are at least two Berts. One went to South Dakota. I have a tremendous amount of information--some of it handed down in the family, some from the web. The Toph family was in Ripley County, Indiana in the mid 1800's, then a branch migrated to Danville, IL, then on to Urbana and Decatur. Do get in touch. I may even have a photo of your g-g grandmother, depending on your branch.

Got your message, and I suppose the possibility does exist. Do you have any dates on anything related. I will look into what info I do have and let you know what I have. On the Dettmans, it isn't a lot before 1900.

My name is Laurence Henry Dettman. I live in Hull, E coast UK. This seaport is where many of the transmigrants passed through en-route to USA from Europe. My grandfather was christened Carl Heinrich Dettmann. He was born in Hull but his father Hermann Dettmann arrived here from Hannover area by boat and settled here. His father was Carl Dettmann who was a policeman in Hannover area, possibly Mecklenburg.
So, maybe his brother or cousin was your ancestor who carried on to settle in USA? That would make you & I related!
Any info appreciated. Laurence.

Re: Henry and Anna Jacobs Dettman, Illinois

KFreese9399 — 2001-07-02 03:27:32Z

I'm not sure, they're probably related some way, but my Dettmans were in Northern Illinois, Sterling/Rock Falls area. If I run upon a Mary, I'll let you know.

Re: Henry and Anna Jacobs Dettman, Illinois

CareenJennings — 2001-07-01 21:05:06Z

I do not know anything about Henry or Anna, but I am tracking Mary Dettman, mother of Joseph Toph. Mary would have been born in the late 1800s, and Joseph died in the 1960s or thereabouts. They lived in central Illinois. Joseph had no children, so that tree ends with him, but since he married a distant cousin of mine, I have a box of old photos. I mean old. Some are from Sweden. The most recent is of Aunt Emma Dettman Peterson, May, 1958. She is an old woman. There is also a boy, Harry Grey, photo apparently from the 1950s.
If any of this seems to relate to your ancestors, write back. I'm new at both the internet and research. I wonder if any of this will "work."

My grandfather Henry John Dettman, baptized Hinrich Johann Dettman. He was born August 7, 1899 near Morrison, Illinois and died May 13, 1965 in Sterling, Illinois. His father was Frank Dettman who came from Germany as a child. Frank had a brother named Henry Dettman and he called his first son Frank Dettman.
I don't have a lot on the Dettmans and have very little of it here in front of me. Possible connection?

Dettman Family

02092 — 2001-06-26 17:36:25Z

BINGO!!!!
Just talked with my mother about your reply. My mothers name is Helen, her father was Henry John Dettman. His father was Frank Dettman and he married Mary Jacobs. His brother was your Henry Dettman. The two Dettman brothers married two Jacobs sisters. My mother and my aunt Marjorie said that is their Uncle Henry. So we have a connection.
Next question, can we exchange e-mails and go from there. I do have some info on the Dettmans and my cousin in St. Louis has a lot more on the Dettmans. I think she even has a picture of Frank & Henry Dettman ( the first ones. Did your Henry have a son that he named Frank?
Any way let me know your thoughts on exchanging info and addresses.
