| Abstract | Contains the Hunn, Zink, Sonnemann, Zirbel, and Wussow family stories. Johann August Emanuel and Katharina (Haaf) Hunn left Bensheim, Hesse-Darmstadt for America in 1852 and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Adam Zink (also spelled Zinke, Sink, or Zinck) married Anna Marie Neumann (or Niemann) in Hesse-Darmstadt; they arrived in Milwaukee sometime after September 1846. August Sonnemann came to America in 1867 from Hannover, settling first in Youngstown, Ohio. He married his second wife, Louisa Eliza Zirbel in 1868, and they moved to Milwaukee sometime between 1870 and 1877. Louisa's mother, Christina (Heuer) Zirbel (sometimes spelled Zerbel) came to Milwaukee with her children in 1839, having left from the port of Stettin, Prussia. Carl and Frederika (Gruetzmacher) Wussow came with their children from Prussia by way of Liverpool, and settled in Milwaukee sometime after arriving in New York in September 1839. Their family name was sometimes misspelled Wosso. Includes several maps, a short history of Hesse-Darmstadt, family group sheets, and images and reproductions. |
