Fred Aufderheide's Immigration

by Darcy Kleeman Boock

Today I received some new information from Helga Johann auf der Heide regarding Fred Aufderheide's immigration. The Sophie she refers to is Fred's older sister who married Rosenfeld. The Heinrich Beineke she mentions might very well be Sophie Beineke Aufderheide's father. Did anyone know that he had immigrated? I copied Helga's two emails into an attachment.

Dear Darcy!

Yesterday I went to the library in Lengerich. Here is also a little archives. Mr. Berghoff are working here, he did me give the old book with the names of persons, they emigrated.

I find only one name "Johann auf der Heide". The name is: Sophie Friederike Johannaufderheyde. Eltern (parents) in Schwien Heuer (house from Schwien farm). Geboren (born)2. November 1841. Auswanderung (Emigration): August 1858.

Is it possible, that Sophie Friederike Johannaufderheyde was a sister to Friedrich Wilhelm Aufderheide?
Then I find the name: Heinrich Beineke, Heuerling, born 26.10.1791, emigrated 1859.

The book in Lengerich is not complete. Mr. Berghoff said, the people, they went secret to the U.S.A. were not registered in the book. Perhaps Friedrich Wilhelm Aufderheide went secret to U.S.A., if he would no go to the military. This was a often reason from the young mans.
