Hello everyone! I missed the question about Obrock. I am the great granddaughter of August Johann Obrock. August Obrock was the brother of Hermann & Fred. According to ship's records, Hermann Obrock (from Bremen) & August Obrock (from Prussa), left Bremen via the Norddeutscher Lloyd Bremen on June 3, 1885, bound for New York. August Obrock became a shop keeper in New York City. To date, I have been unable to make other links back to Germany.
Magdalena, is your daughter Birgit? If so, we have corresponded.
