Herman Wilhelm Weddendorf

Herman Wilhelm Weddendorf (b. 23 Dec 1848, d. 29 Mar 1916), emigrated to the United States with his sister, Sohpia (b. 12 Apr 1845, d. 26 Feb 1926), from Germany in 1866. They came on the barque Anna, and their birthplace is listed as Ladbergen.

Herman Wilhelm Weddendorf's parents are listed as Johan Adolph Weddendorf and Christina Elsabein Kuckherman on baptismal records of Ladbergen.

Through some deduction, it was determined that Johan Adolph Weddendorf (b. 13 Mar 1816) is the son of Johan Eberhard Weddendorf and Anna Christina Suhren, along with older siblings Heinrich Rudolph (b. 8 Oct 1809) and Wilhelm Adolph (b. 18 July 1813).

Johan Eberhard Weddendorf (b. 15 Sep 1788, d. 23 May 1844) is listed as the son of Ernst Rudolph.
