"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. A friend has asked me to inquire about the family of George B. BROECKER, who lived, among other places, in Milwaukee. Also, Selma NELSON, born Sweden, came to Ironwood MI where her uncles lived: one was Nels Peter MOLLENBERG ,(ANDERSON) born 1869 in Sweden, died 1950, place unknown, changed his name to "MILLER" in US, married Alma M. CARLSON, their children: Amy Theresa, Theodore W., Thelma R., Lola B., Florence A., Henning N., A. Grace. Nels' brothers were: Alfred, John and Henry; their sister, Anna Josephina, lived and died in Sweden. Ed Broecker
