Hi Pat:
My husband's great grandmother's maiden name was Briese.She married Frederick Ruskey and they migrated to Canada from Prussia in 1865 and settled first in Quebec and then Muskoka, Ontario.In the 1879 Atlas & Guidebook of Muskoka, there are shown several Briese families living near the Ruskey family in Monck Twp. Muskoka and I am assuming that they are related although I have not really looked for a connection as yet.Some of the names were; Martin Briese, Ferdinand Briese, Miss W. Briese, Charles Briese and August Briese.There was also a Rudolph Goltz.These farms were all adjacent to one another and I have a very strong feeling that they were all related.I must admit that I have not done a lot of research on this line as yet as I am keeping busy working on family lines leading up to that one.Alice
