Thanks for being here! I've stumbled across alot of Hermans and Katherines on my side too, can't really make connection to anyone except the folks in Kenosha. Any tips how to progress thru Germany, or tie in the USA side?
. It basically goes like this:
Charles Garrett Elfers 1820-1861 m Christina Kasken 1831-1872
William Elfers 1857-1944 m Ida M. Kohls 1866-1943
David Garrett Elfers 1885-1973 m Emma M Schenning 1889-1975
Earl Elfers 1913-1983 m Marguerite Evans 1916-1998
Thomas E. Elfers 1942- m Cynthia M. Johnson 1944-
Jacqueline L. Elfers 1964
Victoria 1993
So, you see that Charles and Christina are my GGG Grandparents, allegedly from Bremen. Arrived in USA approx 1853, built house and settled in Spring Grove, Ill. His descedents stayed in Kenosha, WI, and I was born not too far from there myself. I appreciate your kind and prompt response, and if you do come accross anything please let me know.
Looks like Elfers are in NY, WI, IN, CA, OH, KY, and IA. But not really too many. Most seem to be 15 yrs off generation from us.
Again, thanks for your time and consideration,
Jacquie
