My ggrandfather, Hans Joachim Dankert (son of Johann Hinrich Dankert) came to US from Germany in 1872. A cousin rermembers hearing that Hans had a brother who immigrated to South America about the same time. I'd be interested in knowing anything about this.

Also I'd be interested in knowing what Hans (and his family of wife and 4 children) did and where they lived from 1872 to 1874, when they moved to Worms (Merrick County) Nebraska.
