My Dad's family came from Germany/Prussia and settled in the Benson and Danvers Village area of Minnesota. Grandmother Johanna (b. 1861 Germany) was married to William Brose (b 1862). There was property with his name on papers in 1893 for the Moyer Township. But have not found what happened to him after that. They had 5 children with the last one being born sometime in 1895. William immigrated to USA and landed in Chicago July 1876. It is possible he may have lived in the LeSeur County when young.
Johanna immigrated to New York April 1884. Grandfather August Pust (b.1867 Prussia/Germany) immigrated to New York Jan 1891. They were married on 15th Aug 1895 in Appleton, Swift County, Minnesota. The family lived in Benson, Appleton and owned farm near Danvers Village until 1902. They traveled west to Montana with friends and family. 1904 found them farming in the Stettler/Big Valley area of Alberta on a Dominion Land Grant.
Every document have either Germany or Prussia as place of birth. The only place I know where August was is Swinemaude where he boarded a ship to America. If any one can help me with information regarding my family would be greatly appreciated.
