For a number of years I have been trying to follow through on an entry in one of the volumes of the reference series "Germans to America." It tells me that my ggrandfather Henry Otto Louis BRÖCKER/BROECKER, his brother Fred, and Fred's wife Bertha SCHROEDER arrived in New York City from Germany in1868. Their destination is identified as "Wisconsin." Otto H. Leonard BRÖCKER/BROECKER, the first child of Fred and Bertha, was born in 1868, eight days after their arrival in NYC. By 1875 or 1876 The family lived in Kankakee IL, where there is no further record of the child, so he may have been born in Wisconsin and may also have died there. This is all I know about the Wisconsin connection, since the family members remained in IL. I am hoping that someone may recognize my immigrant ancestors. Ed Broecker Suburban Chicago IL
