BLUME Carl; DEU > IL,USA; c. 1860 Looking for Carl Blume who first settled in Illinois and later in Hanover Township, Crawford County, Iowa. It is believed he was born around 1830 and came from the Erfurt area in Thuringen. I think he may have been an uncle of my ggrandfather, Friedrich (Fritz) Becker and may have sponsored his immigration to the U.S. Roger Stange California Roger Stange <[email protected]>
