I recall several Ziebarths in the LeSueur MN area. Some are listed on the Minnesota Death Certificate Index (as are your kinfolk). Since LeSueur is adjacent to Sibley Co, there may be a connection. I grew up in Sibley Co with a LeSueur mailing address.

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.
