Researched surnames

I have been researching my family history for almost 40 years, starting back when I was in high school.
The surnames I have been researching are as follows:

Paternal- Brendemihl, Boortz, Kersten, Callsen, Simons, Stengel, Beth, Prinz, Guelker

Maternal- Butler, Voelker, Brabant, Vachon-Robare, Verboncouer, Moehr

These are the main surnames but there are many branches. I am willing to share, if you are. My information is not put into my FamilyTreeMaker program unless I have sources to verify it.

Thank you for sharing this information! My Great Grandparents were Emil and Francis Brendemihl. My Grandmother was Marion, she was married to two other husbands besides Fred Thoms. Her first husband was William Bomberry Sr, and he was my Grandfather. When we were children my father William Jr. would take us for rides to where there original home was in Beaver, Wisconsin. The home was no longer there but the foundation was. There was a natural spring right near by. Emil was a lumberman and would be out in the forests all winter, while Francis would be alone with her children. My Grandmother Marion was born in that home and was so small they didn't think she would live. They put her in a shoe box to sleep on the woodstove in order to keep her warm. anyway, I very much appreciate you sharing this information. I knew some of this but gained a wealth of information from your site. Thank you
