Do you have any information on them. Emelia is my greatgreatgreat grandmother. I have posted a note Mary on "Herman Karl Fredrich Bloedow/Bladow". Who is the August that you have listed? Do you know if the sister's or the rest of the family came to America at the same time? If so where did they start out--any clues? I have the Census image that I can e-mail you from 1920 with Emelia on it. It states that she came around 1889? She was naturalized 1900? You'll have to see the image to decide the dates. She states that she and her mother and father were from Brandenburg Germany. Is there some place I can look for their Father? I wonder where they are burried!? That's all for now- Sincerely, Shannon and family
