Behnke, Frontier Co. - 1887 on
My G grandfather, Joseph Matthew Behnke, came to Marshall Co., IL, in 1872, and moved on to Frontier Co., NE, in 1887, to homestead land. He was a farmer and said he was from Danzig. If so, he was born in old Prussia. He came with his married sister, Antina, and her husband, Michael Morosic, with their three children, and his unmarried sister, Johanna.I have been unable to locate these people on passenger ship lists, though I do have a copy of Joe's naturalization paper. He named his sons Joseph, Bernard, and Charles. Anyone have any (German) Behnkes you are researching?
