My grandfather (Friedrich) Christian Friedrich Planer b. 10 Aug 1857 d. 8 Feb 1920 came from Mörsdorf, Duchy of Sachsen-Altenberg (Thuringia), Germany. His parents were Christian Planer and Louisa Benhaum. He immigrated in 1879, settled in IA and in 1881 married Ida (Smith) Schmidt, a widow with 4 daughters. Friedrich and Ida would have 2 sons and 2 daughters. In 1886 they moved to NE. Ida died in 1893 and Friedrich then married my grandmother, Minnie Schulz, in 1895. Friedrich and Minnie would have 11 more children. Friedrich had 3 sisters and 1 brother who also immigrated to the USA. One sister was Annie who was married to a Counter and lived at one time in Kenosha, WI. The other's names are unknown. Two sisters and a brother stayed in Germany. Would love to find the names of his siblings and any of their descendants.
