My family came to America (Chicago) from Germany before 1872. Jacob Wilhelm Peter Jacobs b. March 20, 1825 and his wife Josina Henrika Braren b. April 18, 1827 both died in Staplehurst, Seward, Nebraska. Jacob died September 28, 1899 and Josina died September 22, 1913. I have not been able to find any information on them. Any leads or info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the wonderful site!
Jacob Wilhelm Peter Jacobs father was Peter Jacobs and his mother was Goentje (Woegens) Jacobs both from Oevenum Foehr. This is all I know if you know any more please respond.
