What year was Michael born? Perhaps Minnie and Michael were siblings ??? My Minnie Blohm was born Aug 1843 in Germany, she married Charles (Carl) Feldten about 1864. Their son Christian was born 02 Nov 1865 in Sternberg, Mecklenburg. Charles, Minnie, Chris and Charles (the son) immigrated on the ship Silesia from Hamburg to New York 03 Dec 1872. Minnie's obit states they lived in Indiana and Illinois before moving to Fish Lake, MN. Their daughter Mina's obit states she was born 31 Dec 1872 in Michigan City, Ind. So it appears Minnie was pregant with Mina and Michigan City is where the family first went. Does any of this make sense?
