I know this is a longshot but it's worth posting. I'm looking into the family of
my ggg grandmother and she had 3 siblings that show immigration to the US but vanish from
there. Tonight I stumbled on what I think was her brother Harmannus who was married to
Aaltje Buiker/Backers. They were living in the 4th ward of Lafayette. The evidence
points to this being the family - Harmannus was married previously and there are 2
children (Bernard and Margaret) who fit the correct age for that wife - the children's
names match Harmannus' parents names, and Aleida is 6 years older than him (from
records online I find she was actually 7 years older).
Anyone recognize this family?
Ancestry.com has the last name as Kues - it's not all
that readable so it could have been changed to any version of this name. Any leads would
be greatly appreciated.
