I'm hoping to make a connection with anyone whose family info might tie into mine:: Bertha Fredericks/Friedrichs, married John R. Blake before 1883 (in NB, KS, or MO). All I knew about her before beginning to search was that she was born in Germany and had a sister named Sophie.
The earliest info I've found on her is in the 1900 census, married 18 years (abt 1882), with 7 children, the eldest (Fred) was born in Nebraska abt Feb 1883 - and that she immigrated in 1870.
Bertha is my great-grandmother - and I have always wanted to know more about her and her family - siblings, parents, where born, etc. Can anyone help me??
Unsure if the following is the exact family I need but it's where I've started. Found in "Germans to America" (1870):: Friedrich Friedrichs, age 47, farmer; Hanover, Germany to U.S., SHIP: Bremen - from Bremen to NY, Arrived: 4/1/1870 -with: Wilhelmine, age 46; Wilhelmine, age 18; Auguste, age 16; Wilhelm, age 15; Sophie, age 12; Bertha, age 7; Emil, age 7 mos.
Thanks for any connection that might be made...

p.s. I know this is a stretch, but I have also found in the Nebraska census for 1880 a John R. Blake who would be of an age to be the father of my John R. Blake (both born in Maine) - and there is listed at his residence a housekeeper (of the right age) named Bertha Klaman (married). I've wondered if this might be the same Bertha I'm looking for - possibly having been married before. I know - I'm reaching for straws here! :-)
