Sophia Catharina Amalia Brockshus

1848–1918

Biography

The family tree places Sophia’s birth in the Dötlingen area of Oldenburg in 1848 and her death in Hooper, Nebraska, in 1918. It identifies Heinrich Bernhard von Seggern as her husband and John Henry as their son.

The checked Nebraska marriage index names her as Sophia Brochshus and gives a marriage in Dodge County on May 16, 1873. The different spelling and the family tree’s May 11 date are retained for comparison with the original record.
