Highland, Illinois — Confirmed record location

Riesenbeck, Germany — Suspected family connection

The Bange marriage of 1776 and baptism of 1789 took place here. They fit the later Bokeloh family, but the connection back from the American Banges remains unproved.

Bokeloh near Meppen, Germany — Suspected family connection

St. Vitus records include the Bange marriage in 1822 and the child baptized in 1827 who may be Henry Bange of Missouri. This is Bokeloh near Meppen, not the place of the same name near Wunstorf.

Maikammer, Germany — Suspected family connection

Magdalena’s obituary names “Meickammer.” A Maikammer baptism from September 1827 is a probable match, but her exact birthday and the German parents still need confirmation.

Langula, Germany — Suspected family connection

Langula is associated with the Joh. Heinr. Bickel passenger-list candidate from 1848. We have not proved he was Henry of Quincy, and this is not an established birthplace.

Adligenswil, Switzerland — Unverified tree lead

A shared family tree gives Adligenswil as Jacob Widmer’s birthplace. The records reviewed so far establish Switzerland but not this town. This pin shows a lead to investigate, not a confirmed family home.
