Bremer County

In the late 1800's various Bergman's, Bravener's, Buhr's and Liebau's transplanted from Germany (and England in the case of the Bravener's) to Bremer County Iowa. The cemeteries around Waverly, Bremer, Tripoli and Fredericka have a lot of relatives. My dad did most of the grunt work on the genealogy.

Apparently the Bergman's Waspsipincon river

At some point my great great great grandfather owned a German Beer Hall in Frederika. I don't know if this was it but there's not much else here.
