If any of your New Ulm, Brown County ancestors came from Illinois circa 1857, I would appreciate learning from where in Illinois they came from. I have been at a dead end on my KATZENBERGER family for years. I need to learn where my Mary Katzenberger was born in Illinois in 1851 and if her father George Katzenberger married Mary N. N. in Illinois? I thought perhaps George Katzenberger emigrated with some neighbors from Illinois to the New Ulm area of Minnesota. Here's hoping you know your genealogy better than I know mine.
