Berend Kiel was born in 1848, probably near the village of Slochtern in the Province of Groningen. As a child of 8 years old, he made the voyage to the United States, with his father, Lammert Hendriks Kiel, his step-mother, Swaantje Kraak, brother Hendrik and step-brother, Pieter.The ship was the South Carolina and it sailed from Rotterdam on 22 July, 1856.
My paternal grandfather was the Pieter Kiel mentioned above.I have information on his ancestors 4 generations back to 1715 on my website at http://users.abac.com/dkielhttp://users.abac.com/dkiel
