I am related to the Backes/Bacchus line of Minnesota/Oklahoma.Some of the Backes emigrated before the Civil War from Belgium (now) as their naturalization papers show Leopold as their ruler.Some ended up in Minnesota, but the family sent their eldest son first (to prepare for the rest of the family).His names was Nicholas, and they never heard from him again. His port was supposed to be in NJ.My sister (in OK) had a lot of the information including letters from the Civil War and some of the family ended up in Blaine County Oklahoma (Watonga and Okeene?)
