Grandpa's family arrived early to mid 1800s in wisconsin, and grandpa's grandpa ran into trouble and moved to Cleveland. That puts his side here around 1840.
Dad's side (dad's grandfather, Frederick William Bruggemeier) arrived in Cleveland around 1852 with siblings either arriving then or shortly thereafter. Linda didn't find any immigration records or what ship they arrived on.
Cool!
It's starting to take shape
