She was the daughter of Joannes Soester and Anna Maria Soester. She was born in March 1858. I beleive her family emigrated in about 1870. She had brothers Peter, Nicholaus, Bernard and Franz, sisters Catharina, Anna, Anna Margaretha and Magdalena. The emigrated to Chicago and have found church records but quite a few Boesens at St. Michael's and am unsure if they are all connected. Any insite you can provide would be appreciated.
