Friedrich Fuerst of Kewanee Illinois
I am reseraching my ancestry and am trying to find relationship of Friedrich Gustuf Furst to the many Furst families in Kewanee Illinois. Fred is my g,g, grandfather(b.1844 in Germany, d.1931 in Battle Creek, Nebraska). He emigrated from Germany to Kewanee around 1865. His Brother is Edward, and their Mother is Henrietta. Cencus records show him as a farmer. His Wife is Amelia (Emilie), and they had 9 children - William, Edward, Martha, Amelia, Fred, Henry, Charles, Otto, and Ralph. All were born in Kewanee except Ralph, who was born in Nebraska.
I would appreciate any information, and would love to share what I have learned about my branch of the Fuerst family.
