I am searching for information about my 2nd great-grandmother Anna
Margaretha Kruse who married Heinrich Herman Konerman in Cincinnati in 1854.
If I have found the correct arrival record, Anna M. Kruse arrived in the US
in 1853 and the arrival record says she was from Vechta. However, the 1860
US Federal Census says she was from Hanover, and if she was really from
Vechta I would expect it to say Oldenburg.
The 1920 US Federal Census says she was from Brenshoff, which is then
crossed out and replaced with Germany. I can find no such town in Germany.
Here are the siblings that I know of:
Henry Kruse born about 1823.
Mary Kruse born about 1827
Anna M. Kruse born 01 Feb 1834
And possibly
John Kruse born about 1837
The family was Catholic.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
