AM A DESCENDENT OF JOHANN HEINRICH HERMSEN, BORN 1753. MY GRANDFATHER (STEPHEN BERNARD) WAS THE SON OF GERHARD HERMSEN, WHO LEFT IOWA ABOUT 1860 FOR ST. LOUIS. EVENTUALLY STEPHEN SETTLED IN FRANFORT, INDIANA, WHERE MY MOTHER WAS BORN. WHAT I AM INTERESTED IN IS SOME INFO ABOUT THE ORIGINAL FARM IN IOWA. DO YOU HAVE ANY LAND GRANT INFORMATION OR A DESCRIPTION I COULD PUT IN MY RESEARCH NOTES? MAYBE A PICTURE OF IT OR THE HOUSE. ANY PICTURES OF MY GRANDFATHER'S BROTHERS OR SISTERS?
