Family of Friedrich Hildebrandt Sr.
I am looking for information on my family tree.My grandfather Erich Hildebrandt was born in Willnau Germany Oct 27 1894.His father was Friedrich Hildebrandt who was born april 30 1868 in Germany.He married Louise Sczepanski who was born June 03 1869 in Willnau Germany.Fred and Louise along with some children came to the US on November 25 1925 on the SS Muenchen.Erich came to the US on the George Washington on Sept. 02 1924.Erich married Helene Lenz in Madison MN on May 08 1930.We do not know where Helene was born except that we have been told it was near Berlin.I can't find any reference to the town of Willnau any place I look, any help would be greatly appreciated.My father was always told that his dad and some of his family was born in Konigsberg East Prussia which is now called Kalingrad.However the information from the Social Security lists Erichs birthplace as Willnau.
