Re: Freese as a surname

cwalstrom1 — 2009-07-10 13:14:55Z

I'm a Freese by birth - there are lots of us in northwest Iowa. Our ancestors came from Germany and settled in Illinois, then Iowa - my dad says we have relatives in SD and Minnesota, so you and I may be related! I, too, am seeking more information on the Freeses - I have posted a couple of responses to others in the hopes of finding connections.

Re: ancestors of John Johnson Freese (SD)

cwalstrom1 — 2009-07-10 13:11:14Z

My ancestors came from Germany - Freese's - and settled in Illinois and then Iowa. I'm not sure where else they settled before Illinois or after Iowa. My father told me we have some distant relatives in South Dakota and possibly Minnesota - possibly your husband is one of those. Now you say there are also Freese's in California - how interesting! I, too, would like to find out more.

Re: what is the freese name....

cwalstrom1 — 2009-07-10 13:05:47Z

There are lots of Freese's in northwest Iowa - it is a German name - my father, Marvin Freese, is full-blood German. His father was William Freese, and his father was Herman, whose father (name unknown) came from Germany to settle in Illinois, then later in Iowa. I would be interested in finding more of the Freese relatives and finding out more about relatives living in other states. Hope this helps.

Condolences to their family. At age of 88 Clyde died on Sunday, Dec 14, 2008, and his wife died the following day on Dec 15, 2008. What a loss for their family. I remember Uncle Clyde carrying my son just a few years ago and making him laugh by swirling and dancing with him. My grandma, Pearl, died in 1956 before I was born, and so I will miss her last remaining sibling.

Christ Freese & Christine in Iowa

v_vale — 2007-09-19 02:02:03Z

They lived in Iowa before some moved to Chicago, IL in the early 1900's. they had nine children, One of which was my great grandmother Eva Freese whom married Joseph Pehnke. both surnames have been misspelled so much. It is hard to track ancestors down. Please help. You seem to be the latest relative looking since 2000. Thanks Vvale2001@sbcglobal.net

"Freese" Family early 1900's

v_vale — 2007-09-30 02:32:04Z

hello,
I was wondering after reading your post from lonf ago(2004); that we may be related somehow through my great grandmother Eva Freese Pehnke from Chicago, IL. She had many siblings of which one could have been your relative. The time is right.
They had lived in Iowa for awhile, before they had nine children of their own. Eva's father was Christ and mother Christina Freese from Prussia.
Please respond.
Veronica

v_vale — 2007-09-30 02:15:58Z

My great grandmother, Eva Freese, had parents Christ and Christina Freese in Iowa when they came from Westfalen.
Could there be a connection with your relatives?
I realize it has been a long time since your post. I hope that you are still interested.
Please respond.
Hugs,
Veronica
