I saw your reply to the Harms family in Germany. I too am looking for ancestors that originated from there. My problem is that I have currently hit a road block. My g-grandparents were George Herman Freidrich Harms (b.1956 in Hamburg-d.1957 Chippewa County, MN) who married Clara Hansen (b.1892 d.1965 Young America, Carver County, MN). They had 7 children: Evelyn Dorothy who married Edwin C. Stender (my grandparents), George Herman (Shorty) Jr, Sylvester (Sal) Freidrich, Gladys Gertrude, Clara (Claris), Gilbert (Coop) Herman, and Walter. I cannot seem to find anyone who knows who my g-grandparents are or where they came from. If any of this is similar to your family I would appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide.
Thank you
Patty Hanser
