Also I noticed a Helene Koch sailed with her and her destination was Hancock, Iowa - she was going to her sister and brother-inlaw Wilhelm Puttmann. So the Allers and Puttmann and Koch must be related. Rebecka (Margaretha) was next in Minnesota and married Edward Ploof in 1914 - Little Falls, Mn where my mother was born Adeline Ploof. For some reason she left Edward and came to Manitoba,Canada with my mother and a Peter Paul Brodkorb from Little Falls, Mn. We have found all our Ploof, Plouf, family history now looking for our German family history from Germany. Any information greatly appreciated.
