Biography

The family-maintained tree records John Henry von Seggern as born in Hooper, Nebraska, on April 23, 1875, and as having died in Fremont on December 23, 1932. These life details remain family-tree information while original records are sought.

The same tree identifies Meta Gesina Stalling as his wife and Harvey Egbert von Seggern as their son. This adds the preceding von Seggern generation to Harvey’s branch of the family.

The original Dodge County marriage register records John von Seggern and Meta Stalling’s wedding in Hooper on March 28, 1901. Both are listed as 25 years old: John living in Hooper and Meta in Scribner. The license spells her given name “Minta,” while the ceremony certificate reads “Meta.”

What still needs checking

Dates, places, marriage and parent-child relationships are attributed to the family-maintained tree. No independent vital-record verification is claimed.

The online index gives the ceremony place as Hooker. The handwritten certificate reads Hooper in Dodge County. The original names John’s parents as Henry von Seggern and Sophie Brockshus (handwritten spelling varies); Meta’s mother’s maiden name reads Gesina Fortmann, while the index gives Stalling. Her father’s given name appears as Egbert/Egberg Stalling and remains a transcription point to check.
