Family Branches

Marquard and Christena married ~1875 in their hometown of Treia, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.  During 35 years of marriage, 13 babies were born: 9 daughters and 4 sons.  Several children died in infancy or childhood--with 7 surviving to eventually marry and create our current family branches!
