My Great Grandfather was Josef Biel. He was born in Uder, Germany, August 25, 1856. At some point he, and apparently his btothers, moved to Berlin. His wife, my Great Grandmother, Anna Marie Henning, was born October 29, 1864. In March of 1890, they immigrated to America, along with their son Franz, my Grandfather.

I believe one of the brothers was named Sebastian Biel.

I know that my GGGGrandfather, Josef Biel, was born in Uder around 1795
