Hi, I am interested in your families that immigated to County, Ill.Our surname is Dellwo/Delwo/Delvo and as you probably know, everyone is related to everyone from the Hunsrucks.Maria Gerard ( Shirra, Shira) was married to Johann Peter Dellwo.She was born March 14, 1801, and died April 26,1862.I am looking specifically for histories of the families that immigrated to the chicago area, as I believe they might provide clues to the links between our families.Can you provide names of churches or addresses or places I could find them in a census?We had Dellwo's in the area both early in the 1840's and then a Heinrich that immigrated from Damflos in 1864, first went to ILL and then to Minnesota.My problem is I haven't been able to link him to the Damflos families, even though it is stated he comes from there.The family that was already there, I believe I have the link.Thanks for any helpmarge dellwo [email protected]
