Dear Robert,
You are an angel!My head has been swimming with family oral history, names mentioned when I was a child, Bremerhaven, Hanover, Hamburg etc.I was 10 when my grandparents died, and my interest in family history slowly evolved.What with the known family members remaining who have little interest other than being spoon fed, I have collected data on names and dates but little on the specific towns other than the names of the two sets of parents left behind in Blumenthal in the 1860's.Bruns is such a common name as you know.My search was running full boar when I felt inspired to put out another call for help.Hence, I overlooked the "Han" as the place from whence they came on the 1880 census.I couldn't decide which "city" they were closer to.You, thankfully have clarified a very confusing point.Again, my heartfelt thanks from a New Jersey transplant to Hawaii.
Aloha,
VBR "Bonnie"
