Notes:

In 1863 the German authories listed George Heinrich Rosburg as "escaped" when they filled their reports. This lends credence to the family stories that the Rosburgs left Germany to evade conscription into the German army.

Came to America on 01 Jun 1857 aboard the ship Weser along with his brother Henry.
The above from Fritz Rosburg

A younger brother to Wilhelm Fredrich Rosburg was Heinrich Frank Rosburg born in 1838 in Harmsdorf, Holstein, Germany. They hold their Rosburg reunions every 2 years, and this is the year. It is to be in Crosby, MN on June 30th It is beside Lake Adney near Bemidji. I don't know where yours is held, but I wondered if it could be somewhere close. My local contact was Fredrich (Fritz) Rosburg, but he died a year ago. His wife e-mails me from time to time, so that's where I got the information about the upcoming reunion. Just thought you'd like to know about it. Just for your information her e-mail address is frosburg@win.org. Hope you have a good time.

Notes:

Gregorius Ratzborg. From Güldenstein. The church books in Hansühns begin quite late with marriages beginning in 1709, births in 1710 and deaths in 1720. The surname Roßburg arises in the Hansühns church books in many different forms. In the older entries it is called Ratzborg (also Ratzburg or Raz(e)borg and occasionally Roßburg). Around 1780 the predominate form of spelling this surname changes to Roßburg / Rusburg / Rußburg, afterwards to predominately Roßburg. This surname seem to be particularly frequent in Hansühns, the first registered baptism took place in 1725, the father of this child is Asmus (± 7.2.1768 Harmstorf/Hansühns), the first wedding is in 1722 to Hans .Roßburg, farmhand on Harmstorf; the first death is 1721 Johann Roßborg, farmhand in Harmstorf. Ratzborg/Rossburg there are early occurrences of the name (already 1700 ago) Ratzborg/Roßburg also in addition in Fehmarn. Because of the thorough intermixing of the different families and the partial or very poor statements of the Hansühns church books the families may never be fully understood

Anna Catharina Holsten. From property Gueldenstein. The surname of the 2. Wife is at present not yet surely clarified. There are no baptism Loren(t)zen in Hansuehn, it in the appropriate period however to 24.5.1719 in Wangels/Hansuehn an Anna Catharina gets, tons of D Johann gets baptized, which could have married 1746.
