My grandfather was adopted by the Frederick Figge family in the St. Louis area. They came from Turste Furstenthum Waldeck, Germany. Frederick was born in 1842, emigrated in 1846, served in the civil war and died in Alhambra IL. He had 8 natural children- 3 sons who died in infancy, a son Will, and daughters Ida, Augusta, Mary and Lulu.
This family is no real relation to me, but I have Frederick Figge's obituary.
