Hello Colleen, thanks for sharing your Sha family information. German Sha was the brother of my great grandmother, Pauline Eha. German changed his name from Eha to Sha about 1869 just before he moved to Otter Tail county. I have an extensive Sha/Eha document going back to German Sha and beyond to his ancestors in Germany that I can share with you if you are interested. Who are your parents and grandparents? I have sent information to Sarah Grant before and have most of the people you mentioned in your post in my document. Thanks, Dave Petrie.
