This sounds like it May be the Brandt family that I am researching. Fred C. Brandt and Johanna Brandt had several sons and daughters. Sons were Fred Jr, Louis, Richard, Charles and one of the daughters were Ida but I know that she married a Carl Songer. They lived in Danville, Illinois but before coming to Danville they had lived in Milkaukee but originally came from Prussia. If this sounds like your family please contact me. Thanks. Jim
