Thorsten,
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply...life has a way of taking over sometimes.
I am researching two Werges brothers; Wilhelm John Werges born 4/23/1855 and Henry Herman Werges born 9/18/1853 both born in Melle, Germany to Phillip Werges and Elizabeth Bruning- Werges.
These two brothers came to the U.S. in app 1874. They settled in Warren County, Missouri where they were Farmers.
Wilhelm John Werges is my husbands great grandfather. I was told that the brothers came over with a family by the name of Vahle. There were other families, but I do not know their names. I have information on the family up to present day, and have been fortunate to receive pictures of these two brothers.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated, I do not know if there are other siblings or not, There are however, other Werges families in Missouri, and around Iowa.
Thank You,
Terri Werges
