Hi,
I was excited to find your message site through google. I have just recently tracked the Bell side of my family to Saukville, after much misinformation from my mother.
My Great-great grandfather was Johan Peter Bell(my dates of birth etc. match your information)and would make him brother to Anthony. Johan Peter Bell's daughter Catherine married Joseph Brombach in 1877 lived in MKE from 1878 to 1881 when they moved to Minneapolis. One of Catherines sisters married one of Joseph Brombach brother's.
This was exciting find for me. I currently do not know any Bells. I live in Chicago and drove to St. Mary's Cem. in Saukville couple months ago and found the graves of Peter and Elizabeth Bell, but also many other Bell's noted as well. So don't know if all related. I would like the opportunity to meet descendents and possibly assist in tracking further back into Prussia.
Appreciate any info and assistance. I ride bike with friends from MKE and go through Saukville often in the summer, little did I know it was ancestral territory.
