The Luebbers I hope to connect to are those who settled in Logan County Illinois. George Luebbers Born about 1848 married Katherine Risius, my Great Grand Aunt. These people all came from the area known as Hanover or Friesland. Thank you so much for your replies

My mother's maiden name was Luebbers. She is from Carlyle Illinois the daughter of Herman & Margaret (nee Lake) Luebbers. From what I understand of the family history her great grandfather was also a Herman Luebbers who immigrated from Hanover Germany around 1851.

Hi. My name is Jim Luebbers. My father was Charles Luebbers, his father was August Luebbers, his father was Gerhard Lubbers and his father was Bernard Lubbers. Gerhard arrived in America from Bremen on the ship Marie in 1852 with his brother John, wife Anna and infant child. Gerhard probably moved though Cincinnati but wound up in Leopold Mo in 1858. He would marry 3 more wives and father a total of 17 children. My grandfather August was from the last marriage to Annoa Schumer Richter.They has 5 boys. The oldest William Urban married Margaret Fromme and they has 11 children, one of whom Ralph married Carmen Grassagliata and lived in St. Louis.I think Ralph jr was his son. I too served in Vietnam but somehow survived. My email is montanajim8@gmail.com. I have lots of family history material on all of Gerhards's offspring.

I was wondering if you ever received a reply to this post last May? I just came across it this evening.

I am a Luebbers from Clinton County, and I can say that there is not a married George Luebbers in our lineage going back to 1825. The only George Luebbers in our Carlyle family tree remained single his entire life and is buried with his sister.

Hi, Vicki... The Diffenauer's are married into my father's family, Luebbers, two sisters marrying two brothers. Leo was married to an Ortman, whose mother was a Wilken. Her mothers parents Bernard and Katie (Borgelt) Wilken are also members of families on my "other" maternal side of the family tree. So any way you look at it, all four families are in the family tree I have in Ancestry. I am not sure whose initials those are, as there are no siblings with LWD except for Leo. If you wish to contact any of the Diffenaur "cousins" who remember quite clearly your Grandma Ortman and all of Leo's siblings and the rest of the Diffenauers pf Carlyle, email me and I can put you into contact with them. Maybe one of them knows and would be helpful. They are all in Facebook, especially two of the eldest sisters.

Hi. I am Vicki Diffenauer Hopkins. My Grandfather was Leo Willilam Diffenauer son of Joesph Diffenauer. I know a lot of the Luebbers married Diffenauers. I know my Great-Great Grandfather is Joseph. My Grandmother, Leo's wife, just passed away July 6th this year. In going through her house I found a childs cup circa 1869-1873 that has initials LWD on the back of it and it is too old to be my Grandpa's so I am trying to find out who the siblings of his Dad's would be. Just wondering if you would be of any help. I think the Luebbers you are speaking of are those from Carlye Ill. If you can be any help I would appreciate it. My email is vickidiff@yahoo.com or I am on Facebook as Vicki Diffenauer Hopkins. Thanks!

This is my family as well! My name is Marilyn (Luebbers) Morrison, and I am a descendant of the Menard Joseph and Ida (Harpstrite) Luebbers SR family of Clinton County IL. Menard was also married to Eugenia Huels, and they had a child before she died after childbirth in 1912. I have the complete family history of this family, all of the ancestors dating back to 1825 and initial settlement in Germantown Township/Clinton County IL. I also have the complete up to date listing of most of the descendants, except for the details of the extended families of Menard's brothers and sisters and their second and third generation descendants by marriage etc, like you and your cousins, etc. From what I gather, we have third generation relatives (born 1940s thru 1970s) in Illinois, Missouri, Texas, California, Hawaii, and Washington State. I have all of the available information detailed in a family Facebook page that can easily be emailed to you or others researching this family tree specific to origins in Clinton Sounty Illinois 1825 and beyond. I look forward to your reply, or a reply from anyone else researching Luebbers/Rolfers/or Roeckenhaus families with ancestors originally from Germantown St. Boniface parish IL circa 1824 - 1860. The common ancestor all three of these lineages have is ANNA BECKMAN of Germantown/St. Boniface/Clinton County IL 1825.

Luebbers-Risius Connection in Illinois

Cathleen_Heerman — 2011-05-31 16:12:48Z

I believe my Great Grandfather Johnans Risius's sister Kate married George Luebbers and had a good size family. AMong thier children were Rudoph, George and Sarah. They were all from the area in Germany known as Frisland or Kingdom of Hanover. They lived in Logan County Illinois but it seems they scattered somewhat. I have tried to connect with Luebbers in that area but not able to find anyone interested in Luebbers ancestry. I hope to hear from anyone with an Illinois Luebbers Connection.

Hi Aeblis2607-Thanks for your reply and for the family information. The information that you sent explains the relation between the sender and the addressee. Thanks very much. There is (unfortunately) no letter with the envelope.

Thanks again,
Jim Miller

Re: William LUEBBERS of Baltimore, Maryland

Aeblis2607 — 2009-09-03 16:52:27Z

Hi,
thank you very much for the photo. As my grandmother is very interested in her ancestors and especially in collecting old photos and letters I have been looking for the name Luebbers on the internet - and I found your picture. The envelope is written by Emma Luebbers and her husband Wilhelm which were actually born in Lübeck (North Germany)and emigrated to the US in the early 1900s. The addressee of the letter was Karl Luebbers, Wilhelm Luebber's brother, who was in a hospital in Schwäbisch Hall at this time (he was also born in Lübeck but actually lived in Berlin until the beginning of the war, he then moved to South Germany to stay with his daughter). And this Karl Luebbers was my grandmother's grandfather. A very interesting person! So I am really interested to find out more about this envelope or maybe even find the letter...

Roy Bernard Luebbers

ashsucks — 2009-07-14 09:50:38Z

My father was born in Desoto Missouri back in 1918-1919. Anyone here have any information?

He had 8-9 brothers and sisters if i recall correctly. Most of them have passed by now.

After WW2 he moved to California where he lived until he passed in 2002.

William LUEBBERS of Baltimore, Maryland

JimMiller599 — 2009-07-13 06:58:50Z

I recently found a photo of an old envelope that Mrs. William (Emma) LUEBBERS of Baltimore, Maryland sent to Schwabisch Hall, Germany in 1947. You can see the envelope on www.philgen.org (search on LUEBBERS, click on View, and scroll to the bottom of the page), or click on the link below. I do not believe that Schwabisch Hall is the birthplace of either William or Emma LUEBBERS, but I expect that the person who received the envelope is part of their family. I am interested if this envelope is helpful to someone in their genealogical research. The reason I have a photo of the envelope is because of my interest in using old envelopes and postcards in genealogical research. I have an article in the spring 2009 issue of New England Ancestors entitled Philatelic Genealogy and have started the philgen website. I do not know if the letter that was in the envelope still exists.

Here is a direct link to the photo of the envelope:

I saw that your name is Riess. Are you any relation to the Riess/Moran Lumber Company of south county in St. Louis Missouri. We are suppose to be related to the Riess family some how but no one can connect the families.
