Notes:

Paul Rosburg, one of the most popular and successful farmers in Perry township, was born in Germany on May 25, 1859, being the son of Frederick and Mary (Seitz) Rosburg, both of whom were natives of that country. In 1867 the family decided to come to America, where there were better opportunities for the parents and those dependent upon them. Educated as they were in the schools of Germany, they were taught the strictest economy and industry; thus it was that, when the father and mother left the land of their nativity and the many never-to-be-forgotten scenes of their childhood, they were well prepared, so far as their training was concerned, to care for themselves in the new land. The father, as a young man, learned the wagon-maker's trade, but when he came to the United States and located at Shellburg, Benton county, Iowa, where he died, he followed the occupation of a carpenter.

To Frederick and Mary Rosburg were born the following children: Mary, William, Eula, Adolph and Paul. The mother of these children died many years ago, and after her death the father married Mary Schotle, to whom the following children were born: Charles, Herman, Margaret and Emma. The family were reared in the faith of the German Lutheran church and lived consistent Christian lives.

Notes:

Gregorius Ratzborg. From Güldenstein. The church books in Hansühns begin quite late with marriages beginning in 1709, births in 1710 and deaths in 1720. The surname Roßburg arises in the Hansühns church books in many different forms. In the older entries it is called Ratzborg (also Ratzburg or Raz(e)borg and occasionally Roßburg). Around 1780 the predominate form of spelling this surname changes to Roßburg / Rusburg / Rußburg, afterwards to predominately Roßburg. This surname seem to be particularly frequent in Hansühns, the first registered baptism took place in 1725, the father of this child is Asmus (± 7.2.1768 Harmstorf/Hansühns), the first wedding is in 1722 to Hans .Roßburg, farmhand on Harmstorf; the first death is 1721 Johann Roßborg, farmhand in Harmstorf. Ratzborg/Rossburg there are early occurrences of the name (already 1700 ago) Ratzborg/Roßburg also in addition in Fehmarn. Because of the thorough intermixing of the different families and the partial or very poor statements of the Hansühns church books the families may never be fully understood

There are no baptism Loren(t)zen in Hansuehn, it in the appropriate period however to 24.5.1719 in Wangels/Hansuehn an Anna Catharina gets, tons of D Johann gets baptized, which could have married 1746.
