My g-grandparents William Ziebarth and his wife Caroline Tessmer came to America from Germany around 1884. According to some of the information that I have they originally may have settled in the Arlington, Sibley Co. area, the family did later relocate to Mille Lacs Co. MN. I am trying to find out if any of William or Caroline's brothers or sisters may have also came to America and settled in the area as well. William Ziebarth was born in 1856, I have no additional information on him, with the exception of his children. Caroline Tessmer b) 1853, was the daughter of Michael Tesmer and Louise Meyer. In addition to Caroline they had the following children (all were born in Germany): Henriette Tessmer b)1847 Wilhelmine Tessmer b)1848 Louise Tessmer b)1850 Johann Tessmer b)1855 Daniel Tessmer b)1857 Emilie Tessmer b)1861 William and Caroline had the following children: Richard Paul Ziebarth b)1879 Clara M Ziebarth b)1880 Edward Ziebarth b)1884 Lebrecht Otto Ziebarth b)1886 Ottelia M Ziebarth b)1888 Hugo William Ziebarth b)1891 (my grandfather) Leonard Rudolf Ziebarth b)1892 George H Ziebarth b)1895 Thank you!
