Dear Mike, Thanks for the information about another Preuss from northern Germany (or was Tondern then in Denmark?). I know so little about my ggrand father, Albert, at least until he got to Missouri, that I don't think there's a chance to tie him to Johann. All I know about Albert is that he was suppossed to have a brother, also a flour miller, but I don't know his name. Nonetheless I'm happy to have stirred up some interest. If I find out more I will keep you informed. Maybe someone else out there has some info. . .? Don Preuss, Oklahoma
