The Loosbrock Family: From Berghem to St. Kilian & Beyond

My great-great grandfather, Francis Loosbrock (Franciscus Vanloosbroek) immigrated to the United States sometime in the early 1850's. His half brothers, Johannes and Hendrikus (Henry) and half sister, Petronella also came to America a few years later. Francis married Johanna Janssen in Cleveland, OH and settled in Dyersville, IA (near Dubuque). Henry married Margaretha Heisler in Jamestown, WI and eventually settled in Stearns County, Minnesota.

I am looking for any information on Francis and Henry as well as on Johannes and Petronella; also on their decendents. I am especially looking for information on the ships they took from the Netherlands to the United States. Also, please let me know if I need to correct any information on this webpage. Thank you very much.
