| Abstract | Traces the immigrant Schlichting family from the unrest of 1860s Germany to the hope of post-Civil War America. Their journey passes through Cincinnati and Milwaukee to the farming frontier of 1869 Wabasha County, Minnesota. Family members include: Johann (I) Schlichting (b. 1810) and his wife Elisabeth (Blank) Schlichting (b. 1814), who lived on a small farm in Neuland in an area known as the Ostedeich (Oste Dike) along the Oste River; their children, Hinrich (b. 1837), Claus (b. 1840), Johann II (b. 1844), Rebecka (b. 1853), and Anton (b. 1854); and Anton Blank (b. 1828), Elisabeth's younger brother. The emigration of the family to America took place between 1866 and 1869, with Hinrich leaving for America in June 1866, just weeks following his mother Elisabeth’s death. |
