Peter and Catherine Frank immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1879 and settled in Mount Carmel North Dakota. My paternal grandmother is their daughter so am seeking info. from the Frank side. In some public trees there are half siblings. They had 10 children. Peter died in 1901 at Mt. Carmel. Catherine and her youngest daughter came to Canada in Apr.1913. Some of their children were already living in southern Saskatchewan my grandmother was one of them. Any info. would be a help. Thank You

My great grandmother's maiden name was Backus. The names of Frank children who came to Canada are: Ann, Lambert, George, Mary, Cecelia, Christina and Cora., Cecelia and Christina came to Canada in 1913. I'm not sure when the others came. They all lived around the Gull Lake area.Cecelia married John Henry Rebman 25 Feb. 1914. They are my paternal grandparents.There were 10 children in the Frank family and on a public tree there are half siblings.The half siblings have me stumped. There could be more Frank children that came to Canada. According to border crossing Cora and her mother Catherine "Kate" came to Canada in Apr.1913.
