He made two voyages. After coming back from the first voyage he decided to stay in US on his second trip. Seems he made little attemp to keep in touch with family but relatives were aware he had settjed there.Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13928417.post-72345420288374776872016-12-23T10:23:09.344-06:002016-12-23T10:23:09.344-06:00Thank you for commenting.

They moved to St. John in Calumet County. Other surnames of my ancestors dating back as far as 1650's in Irsch and surrounding environs are: Shu; Wagner; Braun; Schmitt; and Reimers; I also have Probst ancestors. I'm looking forward to reading the wonderful history you've provided in your blog!BlackCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797777217420557093noreply@blogger.com
