Charlotte Brinker/Brinkett Lass- Pommern to Kansas
I am looking for a Charlotte Brinker/Brinkett Lass, born abot 1835. She married a Frederick Scheel after her sister (Frederick's second wife) died. The first Lass sister riased Frederick's son Fred and had 4 more children: Minnie, Mary, Carolina 'Lena' and Shannah. She died after making her husband and her sister promise that they would marry and raise the children. Charlotte and Frederick did marry and 4 more children were added: Hannah, Henry, Frances and Charlotta Wilhelmina Johanna b. 1866 (my ancestor). The plague took Hannah, Shannah and Henry. Frederick died also and Charlotte at age 48 immigrated to the US on Nov 16, 1882 taking Charlotta, age 16 and Francis age 12 with her. They settled in the Moline KS area and she died in 1920. Frederick Scheel's son Fred, daughters Minnie and Carolina 'Lena' all marred into the family of John Beu of Pommern and immigrated earlier. All wound up in Kansas.I have really hit a dead end with this family of Scheel & Beu's and hope somebody knows something about them.
Thanks,
Doris James
