Have located record of what I believe is my G.G. Grandfathers family in Germans to America:
Werner Biel - age 25 - Occ. butcher
Wife - Theresia - age 25 - Occ. butcher
Son - Andreas (Andrew)- age 3
Daughter - Anna - age 10 Mos.
Arrived on May 4th, 1852 in New York aboard the ship Hermine from Prussia. Changed the name to Beal sometime later. Later children were:
Louza Beal or Biel - born Illinois 1852
Mary Amelia Beal or Biel - born Illinois 1854
Loueza Beal or Biel - born Iowa 1857
Molly Beal or Biel - born Iowa 1858
John Beal or Biel - born Iowa 1860
William Beal or Biel - born Iowa 1867
Frank Beal or Biel - Iowa 1871
Werner (Warner) and Theresia are buried in Belle Plaine, Iowa.
Looking for ancestors and decendents but have line on Andreas (Andrew) for any one looking.
Thank you in advance
Ross Beal
