• 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. Rosburg, Heinrich. Age 21. Residence Mount Pleasant, nativity Germany. Enlisted April 25,1861. Mustered May 14, 1861. Mustered out Aug. 21, 1861. He was a member of Company G, 1st Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry. He was in Boonville, Missouri and fought at Wilson's Creek.
