Six generations of the Benhart and Prus families, from Tim Benhart back to Hesse, Hanover, Pomerania and the villages of Poland. Click anyone for what the records say, notable details, their stories and links to the sources. A purple dot on a card means that person has a story.
Borders are today's. In these families' time, Moszyny was in the Russian Empire, Żelazówka and Grodzisko were in Austrian Galicia, and Hesse and Hanover were separate German states. Chicago street addresses are pinned from the city's numbered street grid, so they're close but not surveyed. Solid pins are confirmed places, hollow pins are candidates, and faint rings mark a region only.
