My first relative, Heinrich Droste came to America in June of 1845 with his brother Christian. They ended up in Blooming Grove, WI in the late 1840s with other families from a town in Germany called Hille. He married Eliza Wittemeyer in 1850 and bought a farm in the nearby village of Burke. By 1860 his name added an "r", Droster. He had a cousin come over in 1870 who also changed Droste to Droster. Anyone else have this happen with there line of Droste's?
