My great grandmother was Clara Catherine Kast/Kirst/Kirscht, who came over from Prussia with her mother, Agnes, and her two brothers, Johan and Arthur, and a sister, Maria, in 1854 on the Sir Robert Peel.Johan and Maria settled in Cook County, Illinois.Agnes and Catherine settled in Cairo, Stark County, Ohio.I located Johan in Niles Center, Cook County. I could never find Arthur.Clara Catherine married George White, a civil war veteran, in a Lutheran church in 1865.One of their daughters was my paterenal grandmother, Mary White Wolfe. I would very much like to talk to someone from the Illiois branch.Why did some go to Ohio and some to Illinois?
