Bob;
There were several EGGERS who settled in Carver County Minnesota in the
1860's including Friedrich and Sophie Eggers.. They were active in the
establishment of one of the first Missouri Lutheran Churches in Minnesota.
The Eggers lived on the farm in Carver County next to my great grandparents
Ernst Heinrich B�scher and his wife Marie Eleonore Huge. My ggparents
emigrated from Hustatte, Kreis Wittlage, Hanover Sept 1864 --> Bremen-->New
York--> Cleveland. They stayed in Cleveland from 1864 - 68. The were also
Eggers in Cleveland at that time. You may wish to check something like
Switchboard.com and see if any Eggers still live in Carver County Minnesota.
Hi Bob,
looking at the telephone book of Bockenem, there are still Eggers named, as
the name is not rare in the region. Huene is still known in Germany but not
exactly in the region.
Same in Harsum: Blume, Miehe, Heumann etc.
How would you like to go about it?
