Here's my info:
HEINRICH GUSTAV HARMS father of JOHANN GEORG HARMS (b. 12/27/1856 Oldenburg m. Anna Alma Margarete HALLER on 04/28/1881 in Oldenburg, he died 11/03/1940 in White, Brookings Co. SD) father of JOHN GEORGE HARMS b. 08/23/1883 d. 1963 Aumsville, Marion Co., OR m. 12/11/1908 to Clara Louise GRIEPENTROG.Father of RALPH GUSTAV JOHN HARMS, father of Ralph John Harms, Jr., father of John Kruger Harms and myself.I just learned that Heinrich came from Varel by the North Sea in the Kingdom of Oldenburg.It seems our name was originally JANSSEN-HARMS but Janssen was dropped after arriving in America.It’s also believed that Heinrich followed his son Johann to America 7 years after John.I have most of the birth/death info on everyone if interested.Tell me about the boat please?What’s OSB?
