I am just beginning research but have amassed over 1000 names in the FRENSEMEIER and KRIEGER trees from predecessors research. Now focusing on the STROBEL and BORGMAN families. Virually NO information on the BORGMAN family at this time. Have most current information on STROBEL but am looking for a connection in KANSAS?. Word has it that the only other traceable branch of the STROBELS was in KS and the family had 7 girls trying to carry on the family name. Sound familiar to any of you in KS????

I am anxious to hear of any connections to the families and am willing to help anyone I can with info from this end. I hope to have the WFT posting done in the very near future. Thanks.
