My grandfather was August Hartwig, born August 14, 1855 in Massow near Stargard, Pommern, Germany/Prussia. He died march 10, 1916 in Odessa, Minnesota, USA.

I have found two possible matches for when he came to the USA. One could be in 1870 with father Carl, Mother Christine,and siblings Albertine, Carl, Ferdinand, Albert and Gustav. The could be with father Johann, mother Maria and
siblings Johann, Herman, Ferdinand and Wilhelmine. In both cases the families first went to Wisconsin.

My August Hartwig married Francis Maria Semrau on December 15, 1887 in Odessa, Minnesota, USA. Francis Maria Semrau was born in Pagelkau, Schlochau, Prussia/Germany. She came to the USA in 1873 with her parents Martin and Edmunde Schnasse Semrau. Francis had 9 siblings: Theodor, Elizabeth(Lissette), Emilie, Lucia, Clara, Alexander, Bertha, Agnes and Rose. Theodor, Elizabeth, Francis and Eliz were born in Prussia and the others were born in the Odessa, Minnesota area.

If you have Hartwigs which may "connect" with my Hartwigs I would appreciate hearing from you.
