Gretchen, This is a little far-fetched but I am researching a Klemmer family from Luxembourg and while most of the family settled in Fayette County Iowa, one son,Joseph Klemmer, went to Stearns County around 1912 ish. He married his first wife Gertrude Frieler from New Munich before moving east to Michigan. I always wondered if there was a Klemmer relative in Stearns County and I wonder if there is any mention with your Klemmers of relatives from Iowa (originally from Luxembourg). Joseph's father, Peter, emigrated from Lux. in 1889. He went back in 1900 to Lux. and brought back a Magdelena Klemmer aged 19. I have been unsuccessful in tracing what happened to her. I know this is far-fetched but I thought I would try. There were too many coincidences. Catherine
