Hi my ggrandfather came into the USA in or about 1881 worked his way into South Dakota in about 1882 or so was married to bertha in 1894. Does this help! If so I can help more. If it is the same line would love to see the connections? thanks ronda this is my father's and his father's side. My father passed away 30 years ago and I have been working on it since I was old enough to start putting the tree together. thanks again if I can help please just email me back at rondalp91@yahoo.com
