I am Mary Ann
Tock and my ancestors did come from Denmark. At one time they lived in Schleswig-Holstein, which at the time of my grandfather's birth (1854) was part of Denmark. After the Prussian War, my great-grandfather took the family to the Hjorring area of Denmark. I believe it was from there that they emigrated to the US in the 1870s. My great-grandfather and three sons (one of them my grandfather) went to
Outagamie County,
Wisconsin in the early 1870s and my great-grandmother (Catherine G E
Schroeder) came in 1874 with five children.
