Penmanship

 I still have some questions about my Mother's side of the family.  I know that her Paternal Grandmother was a twin and was born in Germany in 1878.  Not sure what ship they came over on  but I do know the year...1884. The parents (Christina and Fritz Kuhn) came along with eight of their children according to an old obituary...but I believe that only six of the children were born in Germany and came along on the voyage and two children were born after their arrival in the United States. Children with their parents were ages 14,12,10,9, 6 and 6.  Hattie or Hadwig ( My Great Grandmother) was 6.

 First they settled in Kansas (Olathe) and then in Missouri before they came to Minnesota in 1896. 

My hunch is that they came with other relatives to the United States.

This is a postcard of a hotel in Onaga Kansas...is that where they lived for a time? 

The postcard is from a cousin by the name of Fred Berg.   Fred had beautiful penmanship...was he a teacher?  Fred Berg is a common name so no luck there...which side of the family was he related to???Christina or Fritz???  Perhaps someday I will unravel the mystery.
