Until I started working full-time I was doing quite a bit of genealogy research on the Lohstreter/Meir/Suchy/Brejcha side of my family, which is my father's side.Recently I started hearing from some cousins via the magic of email and the internet and this has gotten me excited about genealogy all over again.
The Lohstreter/Lohstraeter family, from Westphalia, came to America in 1848. They lived first in Illinois and then in the LaCrosse, Wisconsin area.Around the turn of the century they moved to Bisbee, North Dakota and eventually settled on a farm in Mandan.
My great-grandfather married Elizabeth Meir.The Meir family was originally from Switzerland and lived in both Ohio and Wisconsin in the Wheelers Ridge/Mormon Cooley area.
My grandfather married Marie Suchy.The Suchys and Brejchas came to America from Bohemia and lived in Chicago before moving to Mandan, North Dakota and Nampa, Idaho.
I'd love to hear from anyone with information on the family and would be glad to share the information that I have gathered.
