I am searching for the marriage record of Charles and Sophea Burg who I believe may have been married in Lee County. They were immigrants from Sweden. He arrived in New York in 1870 from Sweden. Their first child was Anna Carolina Burg born August 13, 1874 at Keokuk. His Declaration of Intent papers were filed in Lee County on December 12, 1888.
Charles Burg's sister, Sophia Burke married F. A. Anderson March 19, 1876, in South Lee County.
I am also searching for another brother who probably immigrated in 1876 or after. His name in Sweden was Anders Gustaf Björk and as Gus Burg in the USA. I am thinking that he likely settled with other family members in the Lee County area for a time before the family moved north and west in Iowa and beyond.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
