Description
This interesting storybook begins at the start of the Peters family's migration from Germany to America to start a new life and gives a glimpse of how their family heritage carried on. The story shows their process of packing, leaving their German village, taking a ship overseas, and building a new home and life in the land of opportunity. The journey takes a full circle when the descendant family who now resides in an inherited farm house decides to go through the old trunk full of family history and visit the family's original house in Germany. Gives a neat perspective on family immigration and what is involved in establishing family ancestry in a new country. 37 pgs, hc. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of In the New World
The year is 1850. Robert and Margarete and their two children pack up their lives and leave Germany forever. Their destination: America. After landing in New Orleans and joining a wagon train headed west to Nebraska, the immigrant family establishes a farm outside Omaha, working hard to build a new life despite the challenges they face.
Three centuries later, Robert and Margarete's descendants still live on that farm in Nebraska. They decide to investigate their roots and visit Germany, reversing the trip their ancestors made and coming back to touch a piece of their history.
