Our branch arrived in 1880 and stayed in Chicago for a few years , then came to Sheboygan, Wisconsin and this seams to be where most of them stayed.....Sorry I can't be of more help

Re: All Luedke's

SueHoskinson1 — 2008-07-17 15:04:55Z

Most of our Luedkes were in Chatham, IL; however, we did have some that moved to Wisconsin and then to who knows where. Some of them were also in Missouri. Our Luedkes were from the Posen area in Germany and came to this country from 1870 - the 1880's. Would any of these be in your line. We have a Robert Luedke that was baptized at the Lutheran church in Chatham.

SandraWiltzius — 2007-12-17 18:38:29Z

Hello, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same use of the word dna...I had my male cousin (LUEDKE) dna done at a place called Family Tree DNA and first had only 12 markers done and I received a boat load of matches .....then I had all of them done and the only person that matched 25 exactly was one fellow and his name is not the same as mine nor the location of our relatives is even remotely close ...

Once you have the results you can enter them in a place called Ysearch and see if any one else matches you. I have a long way to go to understand all of this yet.

Re: All Luedke's

pearlsmith180 — 2007-12-09 23:05:11Z

I just found your reply to Luedke. I am adopted and had my DNA done. The only exact match so far is a Luedke gentleman.
He has been very helpful to me. They are German and he has a lot of his family history. I would like to know what the gentleman you spoke abouts DNA is. I think DNA is a great way to go. Hoping to hear from you. Pearl We are both T2

Cindy. I understand that you're working on your mom's side of the family history. I've been working on my dad's side of the family, the Luedtkes, off and on for about 15 years and now that I'm retired I've got the time to finish it up. I've got the first part of the family nailed down except for the 3rd child that accompanied Johann and Frederica from Prussia. A lot of work to be done yet on the Friedrich side but the August side is moving along well. Have gotten a lot of info from church records in Lomira, Fond du Lac and West Bend. I'm finishing up on the current generation. Would like to share with you. email: dluedtke8@wi.rr.com and tel: 414-427-0391.

Luedke Family

2006-01-11 21:45:48Z

I never realized how huge the Luedke family name was. My father was a very private man and did not really speak of his family. All I know is that my grandparents (Julius and Irene) died before I was born in 1965. I know that they also had 9 children, but 4 died at very early ages. The survivors were James, Robert, Edward and Dorothy as well as my father Julius. My mom and dad had 4 children 3 boys and myself. I am sure that we must all be related in one way or another. This is so facinating but in the same aspect so strange to know that there are more of us out there...

Looking for Carl LUEDKE and Willimena who had 5 known children: Charles, Robert, Willimena, Hudla and Mary. Carl was b. ca 1830 Prusia and Willimena ca 1833 in Prussia, I have some information but looking for more. Daughter Willimena (LUEDKE) SOOS KRAMER ESCHMANN married a Rudolph SOOS first. They had 4 known children: Charles who married Anna BARTELS (my line), Rudolph, Helene and Anna. Any help on Carl LUEDKE would be greatful.

Re: All Luedke's

2005-11-18 04:04:10Z

After reading your message, it could be possible for all Luedkes to be related--one way or the other. My great grandparents were in Chicago for a while, before moving to Sheboygan. How about yours"?

LUEDKE: Stettin, Pommern, Prussia

2005-10-28 22:25:57Z

Re: All Luedke's

SandraWiltzius — 2007-10-05 18:29:47Z

Just reread your message and I thought this might intrest you, I had my cousin (Male LUDKE/ LUEDKE DNA) give me a sample and we sent it in....and the only one to match on all 24 points was a guy who's family is originally from portugal and then Barzil and now lives in the states, so one of our German ancestors must have liked traveling a lot.

Re: All Luedke's

SandraWiltzius — 2007-07-12 21:15:13Z

I was raised by my grandparents (Luedke) and 4 Luedke brothers lived about 3 bocks from the other(Luedkes) back in Sheboygan, Wisconsin the 50's but they never visited. My grandpas brothers owned a grocery store and they didn't even shop there. I went there when I was little and they were very friendly once they found out who I was.

I think we are all going to solve this with DNA testing I don't know how else we are going to figure it out.

kalbright1230 — 2005-11-16 22:28:22Z

After reading all of the board messages I have come to the conculsion that all USA Luedke are realated in one way or another. Each brother or sister had 8 kids or more once they got here. there was 16 who came from Prussia so you kow they were related.i know that finding YOUR link is important as is mine but we have to remember WE are all Blood that dates way back. would it not be great if we all could share what we know about our parents and Grandparents and great grandparents?I can only go back to 1830-1840 from there I am lost..Never close to the Luedke for they always wanted to live there own Life. do you think that maybe a family trait?

My grandfather was Herbert John and his father was Herbert. Both lived in Chicago and are listed in the 1910 census. Both were metalsmiths. My great-grandfather Herbert married Jessie Coral Winebrenner and together with their two sons lived in the Chicago home of Norris Winebrenner in 1910. I still have two aunts who live in the Chicago area. My grandfather Herbert John Luedke had 3 daughters and 2 sons.

Carl would be the grandfather to my greatx2 grandfather....and never left Europe so far as I know...had a son Johann Daniel (my line) but maybe a daughter too.....will try to find more....do you know, did the daughter (Fredericka) live in Illinois at all?

Re: Luedke Search - Cuming County, Nebraska

rebeccareber1 — 2005-05-27 01:30:16Z

Well, I am going to have to do some digging....your dates are consistent with Carl being my great-great-great grandfather and Fredericka being a sister to my greatx2grandfather......I don't think my Carl went to Nebraska however, so I have doubts. Mine is buried in Illinois, near Chicago.

Re: Luedke Search - Cuming County, Nebraska

rebeccareber1 — 2005-05-27 01:20:27Z

Hi,
I think your Carl may be the brother of my great-great grandpa Frederick Wilhelm. If you could provide dates, I could confirm. Did Carl arrive in Illinois before going to Nebraska?
