William ( 1856-1901) and Amelia (1855-1921) emigrated from
Germany 1886. Settled first in Pensaukee and then had a farm in
Brookside/Abrams. They had five children, one of them, Albert,
is my husbands grandfather.
Albert had a farm next to William and Amelia's farm. William & Amelia's farm is still standing. One of their other sons, Herman Falk, farmed it after the parents were gone.

I would like to know where William and Amelia are buried,
what they died from, where in Germany they came from, what ship
they came over on etc. Also I would like to know when Albert
Falk acquired his farm in Abrams. It seems like it was
previously owned by a shoe manufacturer named Wellington.
I am Swedish, and I have been able to trace both my Moms
and Dads ancestry all the way back to 1530 in Sweden with not
too much trouble This American/German side has been a lot
harder for me.
I would appreciate anything you can dig up.
Thanks!!!
