Biesemeier "Cousins": Brief Notes
Below you will find brief notes on a few Biesemeier families that lived in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois,Oklahoma and California. Their connections to our Biesemeier family in Stephenson and Ogle counties of Illinois is not clear. These are not defined genealogies. They are primarily census records and a few tidbits found on the internet. Hopefully they may provide some assistance to researchers on these families. Any help in making connections to our Illinois families would be appreciated.
