This is the same time the Greaser's & Borgman's departed from Bremen.

Recently I checked a German phone directory that was on-line, believe it or not there was a listing in there for Greaser's Farm and it was located not very far from Ankum.  One day I will investigate that to see if it's also descendants of our family line.
