Overview: Charlotte Graunke married Friedrich Raduege about 1840 in Pommern. They had six children; one died in Germany, as did their father. The other five children immigrated to Watertown, Wisconsin in 1868 with their mother. The book focuses on the mother and her five children - their lives and descendants. Photographs of the mother and all five children are included, along with information from the Passenger List, all U.S. Census records, photos of their gravesites and more.



The immigrant children include:

1. Albertina Raduege married Wilhelm Schmidt in Watertown, Wisconsin and settled in Lotts Creek, Iowa. They had nine children; four of them moved to North Dakota and three of them settled in Minnesota - two of them remained in Iowa, one of whom died as an infant.
