AbstractSummary of a family history submitted to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the state of Minnesota. All of the families come from Pomerania and east Prussia, now Poland. The families came to the United States in the 1800s, settling mostly in Stearns County, Minnesota, with a few stopping briefly in Wisconsin. Family names include Richter (from Kallies, Kreis Dramburg, Pomerania), Rodenwald (from Woltersdorf, Kreis Dramburg, Pomerania), Schoen, Bachenger/Barchenger, Giegel, Kind, Krueger, Kaiser, Mog/Mogk, Scheunemann, Teske (from Kreis Belgard, Pomerania), Sabrowsky and Eggert (from Bienau, Kreis Osterode, east Prussia), and Bayer.
