Russia with three of their children abt. 1876-78. (Lydia 1868, Gottried 1870 + Mary Eva Reinartz, Nathaniel T. 1874) Settled in the Scotland / Parkston area of SD. American born Children: Sophia Grosz 1879, Marie 1881, Emanual 1883, Emil 1890 and John Solomon 1896. I would like to know how the other Grosz's of the Dakota's fit into our family? Did Daniel have sibilings that came with him? My research seem to show that the German Grosz's with "sz" came from southern russia and the Gross name with "ss" came from Prussia or northern Germany.
