Andrew Jensen WILBECK, (Andreas Jensen Velbek), came to the U S from Denmark
approximately 1876. He is believed to have entered through New Jersey and moved
west. He applied for his U S citizenship on 2 April 1877 in Livingston Co.,
Illinois. It is believed that "A J" came to Lincoln Co., Kansas in about 1878.
He met and married a neighbor girl, Ane Marie JOHANSEN in 1882. Ane Marie had
recently come to the U S from Denmark.
The majority of this information was obtained from Ane Marie Wilbeck Barber.
She devoted many years to unraveling some of the mysteries of our family
history. I have omitted names of living persons, noting them with "Living", and
birth or marriage dates. I have expanded the Alexander Thomas Wilbeck line to
include marriage dates because that is my line of the family.
