Looking for information on Jacob Biel (born 1845) from Graf, Russia and his wife, Emma/Anna Kreitzer (born 1847) from Rohleder, Russia. The couple immigrated along with Jacob's parents, Peter and Elizabetha (Storm or Ernst) Biel in 1875. Both families settled in Liebenthal, Rush Co, KS. Approx 1888 both families went to South America. During the return trip in 1890 Elizabetha died and was buried at sea. 1890 to 1892 found them in Ellis and Rush Cos again. In 1892 the Jacob Biel family moved to Marienthal, Wichita Co, KS area. Unknown if Peter went with them. They had the following children, John born 1872, Helena born 1874, Elizabeth born 1876, Angelina born 1880, Katherine born 1884, Floriana born 1888, Anna born 1891 and Margaret born 1893. Would appreciate any info especially where and when Peter died. I have some wonderful pictures of both families if there are any other descendants out there.
