Ludvig and his wife, Christina emigrated out of Germany and got a homestead farm in ND when homesteading was in its early days. They raised all their children on that farm close to a small town where almost everyone was German or of German descent.
I have information for Ludvig and Christina's site, that I would like to add, if you would please transfer their sites to me. I am not related but did study about the family in school in ND and have visited their home and museum.

Suggested edit: Thank you for the entry on Lawrence Welk. I would like to suggest a slight change: the Welk family immigrated not from Alsace, but from Russia, in what is now Ukraine. They were among thousands of German and German-speaking families who had immigrated to Russia in the late 1700s and early 1800s to the Russian Empire. While the Welk's were certainly from Alsace originally, they were German-Russian when they came to the U.S. This is significant ethnic group of its own in Canada, the U.S., and elsewhere including South America.
Thank you,
