The Biberdorf genealogy that is found on this website
begins with:
Edward F Biberdorf
b. 1859 Russia
d. 1902 Bottineau, North Dakota
and
Eleonore
Brokop
b. 1861 Russia
d. 1943 Bottineau, North Dakota
I am unable to find records that conclusively point to the parentage of Edward F
Biberdorf, but it appears that his father was Friederich Bieberdorf, and his mother
was Charlotte Bieberdorf (a cousin). Because I have photos of Edward
and Eleonore, we will begin with them - for now.
Edward and
Eleonore were Germans that lived in Russia. They emigrated from Russia
to the United States in 1899, and settled in McHenry County,
North Dakota. Edward and Eleonore married c. 1877, and they had nine
children from 1878-1901 (Eleonore had one more child when she remarried
after Edward's death). The majority of the Biberdorfs
in this line settled in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Oregon.
