I am researching Buhrs in Nidersachsen. My Buhr connection stated that she was born Dorothea Maria Buhr in the Ellerndorf province. She was born on November 14, 1848. She had a brother named Henry born Aug 2. 1856. Their father's name was William Buhr. Dorothea married Johann H.F. Kruse (born Feb 10. 1847) Their first three children, Elise,(1874) Mary (1876) and George Kruse(1880) were born in Hanstedt, Germany. They emmigrated to America on the Ship Hermann in 1882 and settled in Marshall County, Kansas then on to Caddo County, Oklahoma. Are these Buhrs familiar?
