Have a John H. Arps married to Wilhelmine Hanssen with childrens names of Edward Arps m. Wilhelmine Funke (a cousin), Albert Arps m. Wilhelmine Boie, Gustuv Arps m. (1) Mary (2) Nell, Otto Arps m. (1) ? (2) Fanella Jackson and Bruno Arps who died during childhood. I have no biography on John H. Arps, other than he was a resident of New Holstein, Wisconsin and a stepson of Amalia Arps. Who Amalia was married to or how she fits in I do not know. Wilhelmine Hanssen is the daughter of Cecilia C. Oesau and Andreas Hanssen. Cecilia Oesau is Claus Oesau and Jabe Christina Claassen oldest daughter, my great great great grandparents.
The brothers Otto, Edward, Albert and Gustav acquired a hardware enterprise in Ouray, Colorado (Arps Brothers Hardware Company) and a cabinet manufacturing business and food market in southern California. Have more on the brothers if it may help. Seems the family settled in Colorado and California areas. Have an e-mail address of a Ellen Catharina Arps who is the daughter of Gustav Arps if you want.
