Agnes Marie Brickner   
from North Dakota to Indiana

Early Picture of Agnes Agnes was born in North Dakota.  After she grew up, she moved to Porter County, Indiana, where her father was born before eventually going to North Dakota to homestead, and where many of her father's family still lived.  Her father's father and mother had lived in the area after coming to the USA from Germany.  I will  explore the descendants of the Brickners in America.
