I don't know if this is the same family, but we share the same name and origin.My ancestor is Wilhelmina (actually Anna Marie Charlotte Wilhelmina) Heitkamp.Her father is William H Heitkamp.Wilhlmina was born 26 Jan 1834 in Oberbauerschaft Lubbeke Westfalia.She had a sister named Charlotte who married Frederick Kleffman.Wilhlemina married HFW (Heinrich Friederich WIlhelm) Grothe (born 27 Apr 1828 in Stift Quernheim Lubbeke Westphalia).They had one son Charles, immigrated to the US around 1856 and then had 8 more children.I do not have much info on their father William H Heitkamp, but know Charlotte and Wilhelmina lived in York, Pennsylvania after coming to the US with their husbands and family.Do you think they may be realtives from the same line???Please email (yours did not appear with your message - mine is [email protected]).
