BRECHT Searching for BRECHT family descendants from Norway, Iowa. Franz Stefan BRECHT m. Phillipine Kniereman Schrader [both of Rheinsheim, Germany] in 1832, and immigrated to America, settling in Norway, Iowa. Franz Stefan and Phillipine BRECHT brought their 11 children. Our family stem follows the life of their second child, Lorenz BRECHT who married Rosa BREITHAUPT Sept. 19, 1857 in Iowa City. Lorenz and Rosa BRECHT had 6 daughters and 1 son (Frank Brecht). We only know about Frank Brecht, who married Emmaline Smith--they had only 1 child, Agnes Magdalene BRECHT, who married Russell George BOHRNSTEDT IN 1929 in Arcadia, Wisconsin. Agnes Magdalene BRECHT taught school in Garwin, Iowa before attending Univ. of Iowa (BA English, 1927). We would like to know more about the descendants of Franz Stefan & Phillipina BRECHT's other children and the descendants of the 6 daughters of Lorenz & Rosa BRECHT.
