Several German immigrants with the maiden name Brosch arrived in the midwest in the 1880s or early 1900s: Anna Maria Geisler nee Brosch, Emilie Heutte nee Brosch, Clara Evert nee Brosch and Lina Lippman nee Brosch. The last three lived and died in Chicago. The first died in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1893. Lina was a niece of the other three who were sisters. Contact with any descendants will be welcomed. Many other relatives remain in Germany, especially in Hannover and Wiesbaden.
