I have a great great grandfather named Gottlieb Franke (1820-1891) who immigrated to Washington Co. Wisconsin in 1853 with his family from Prussia . His second (or possibly third) wife was Johanna (Hanna) Getke (Jedke), who he married in Wisconsin. The marriage certificate says his parents are Gottfried Franke and Katherine Hohesteten and that he was born in Winzingerode.

Gottlieb and Hanna Franke lived in Polk Township in Washington County.

I am trying to find out more about the Andreas Gottfried Franke (1791-18630, wife Charlotte Hornstein. He is of the right age to be the Gottfried father of Gottlieb, if you are following what I am saying. The Winzingerode origin and settling in Washington Co. Wisconsin all are good circumstantial evidence.

I know that Duane Koch and others have researched this family. Would like to know more to prove or disprove that Andreas Gottfried Franke- Charlotte Hornstein is the same as Gottfried Franke- Katherine Hohesteten.
