Hi, I just found this site. I've always been fascinated about this side of my family. I'm in the Sacramento, California area. My grandfather was John Brunswick.. born in Germany April 29th, 1890. He came over with his father Richard, and brother Martin, in 1907. They later sent for his mother and sisters.. and settled in San Francisco. The name was "Americanized" when they came over.. and I'm still trying to determine the spelling of the original names. His parents were Richard and Ida.. though those names may have been given on their arrival. John passed away in 1969, just short of his 80th birthday, in Sacramento. His brother Martin lived in Modesto and from what I gather, passed away in 1992. They had a sister, my Aunt Martha.. and another I never knew.. Valeska(not sure of the spelling). I hope this info helps someone.. and I'd appreciate anything you can pass along to me.
