I am looking for descendants of Frederick Gross. He had 6 boys that settled in Carlton, St Louis and Lake Counties and the surrounding areas in Northern Minnesota. The names are Ernest (born Nov 1854), Emil (born 15 April 1858), Frederick (born 1859), Louis (born 17 Dec 1863 my great grandfather), Albert (born 17 Mar 1866), and Edmund (born 17 Feb 1868). I have been able to find many of the families on the 1920 and 1930 census pages here at Ancestry, so I have a lot of information that I would love to share, and get some in return too!!
