Hi Bob,
I don't see any names I can help you with.... yet. I do however have a
special interest for any of the families from Husum area, as they are
probably all related somehow. Many people came from the Husum area to the
USA. Also some are in Indiana.
Not on this list are Homeyers, Scharnhorst, Luhrings, and of course Mueller
Borcherding is another. Homeyers and Mueller connect to Clayton County,
Iowa. Also the Nuehrings.
These are just the ones that connect to Allamakee County, Iowa.
I hope this comes out ok on the list. I just copied it from the Allamakee
County website.
