My father was August B Kanies, born in Chickasaw County Iowa.His father was Albert Kanies born in Germany in 1859 and came to the US in 1882, married to Matilda Boehmer, also born in Germany. They had 4 children, William, Albert, August, and Verna. I can't find any info on my grandfathers parents or if he had any brothers or sisters. Could this be the same family? Contact me at jerryak@kcweb.net if you can help, or have any info. Thanks!
