You would get a more useful answer if you could let us know a little bit about what you know of your line and see if we can build on it. Otherwise, we are taking a stab at a surname in general rather than giving you information that you can use to further your research. If you enter a new question, it will be at the top of the question pile and you are bound to get some "fresh looks" at your existing research. Good luck!
P.S. Make sure that the people you are posting about are deceased, otherwise it compromises the privacy of the living.

Walbeck
German: habitational name from any of various places so named, for example in Saxony-Anhalt and North Rhine-Westphalia.

Von-- German for "born in". I am assuming Walbach is possibly a town, as in "I was born in Walbach." There is or was a railway station in the Alsace region of France with the name Walbach, too.
