I have been told that my great grandfather came from exactly that place, Holstein. I don't know when, though. They settled in Minnesota, and then branched out from tehre. My only link to the past passed away a few years ago, and i've been in a holding pattern since. I think his name was maybe Rudolf? Or Peter? I will look in my records and get his name.
