  • Notes 
    • There are many Klingenberg individuals listed in 1905 IA Census for both Grundy County and Lyon County. Those listed in Grundy County are Klas, Ettier, Habbe, Klass, Maggie, Peter, Tennie. Those listed in Lyon County are Hilka, John, Katie, Klass, Nancy, and Nickoley.

      There is an Aje Garrels with daughter Hilka who arrived on a ship called "Main" from Bremen.

      AIJE Garrels buried in Grundy, IA. She died 24 May 1884, just 8 days after arriving in the US. The birth years match. Her maiden name was Klingenberg. Grundy is where Hilka found her husband.

      Aije is also the name used on the marriage certificate. The passenger manifest showing Antje is difficult to read and was probably spelled incorrectly. It was also spelled Aÿe in Germany as the "J" would have been pronounced as a "Y". Records show she was widowed twice before her last husband. Her first husband was Georg Jakob Veerde and the second was Klaas Mennen Menenga. Garrelt Theodorus Garrels was her third husband.

      Aije's surname was Klinkenborg, but appears also to be Klinkenberg, Klingenborg, and Klingenberg depending on the document. Her middle name appears as Cornelius, Cornelia, or Condita depending on the document.

      She is noted to be from Emden, Ostfriesland, Hannover, Germany. Emden was an independent city state at the time of her emigration but was under protection from the Netherlands. So, she is noted as being from the Netherlands in some documents, but those documents also denote cities which are now considered part of Germany.
