My grandfather, John Bruhn, then a teenager, emigrated in 1888 from Schlesvig-Holstein with his younger brother Jacob. They settled in Nebraska. His parents came later; older siblings preceded him. The family hailed from Westerhever, a village which lies on the far Western part of the country. The surrounding countryside to the East had many small villages and many Bruhns, many of whom were doubtless related. I would happy to supply other information if I have it. Arnold Bruhn
