Looking for any additional information about my German / Prussian relatives. What I know is:
Maria Christine Brunk (b December 24, 1813 - Megow, Prussia) m Michael Burow
They had 13 children -
Caroline Johanna Burow
Maria Theresa Albertine Burow
Friedrich Wilhelm Burow
Julius Robert Albert Burow
August Adolph Theodor Burow
Friedrich August Burow
Augusta Burow
Charles Burow
Louise Burow
Hannah Burow
Minnie Burow
Delia Burow
Charles Burow
The father, Michael, died before 1867. His daughter's (Johanna) baptismal certificate states that Michael was a "Steward (housekeeper) of the manor" in Prussia.
In 1867, the "Widow" Brunk filed for a passport, and emigrated to the US, leaving from Stettin, and ending up in Wisconsin (I don't know the ship they came on or the port of arrival)...
Caroline Johanna Burow m Michael Frederick Kothlow, his daughters birth certificate states that her father, Michael, was the "foreman of the manorial farm". His birth certificate says he was baptised on 11/19/1837. His passport states that he was 5'2", had darkish blond hair & eyebrows, blue eyes, oval face and medium build.
Caroline and Michael had two children:
Bertha Mathilda Augusta Kothlow b January 13, 1867
Wilhelm Friedrich Robert (Burow) Kothlow b January 22, 1866
They both emigrated in 1867 with the Widow Brunk - at very young ages. Bertha was my great grandmother. I have photo's of most of these people, the baptismal certificates, the passport from 1867. I would like very much to find cousins in either this country or Germany. I would also like to find the parents of Maria Christine Brunk & Michael Burow...willing to share what I have with any one who shows an interest. John
