I am descended from Henry and Dora W. Westphal who came to USA from Germany in 1867 with their son Albert C.age 18 and daughter Augusta S. Westphal, settling first in Iowa and then in Carroll County, IL. Albert (my great grandfather) married Anna Keyser and Augusta married Joseph Kosey. Both Albert and Augusta are buried in Savanna, IL cemetery with their parents. Any and all information will be appreciated. Thank you.
