Marriage Record Not Found

According to family legend, Michael and Marie married in New York almost immediately after landing. The posters offering cheap land to immigrants said they needed to be married. Michael and Marie decided to get hitched and to start a family of their own in South Dakota.

The records of their marriage in New York have not been located.

They travelled to the Brown County area in South Dakota, probably by train, arriving at Aberdeen in late 1887 or early 1888. It wasn't as nice as they expected. According to a story they told their grandchildren, they "damn near froze to death." After the birth of their first child, Nicholas, in June 1888, they decided to move south to Texas, where Michael's brothers had already bought land near Plantersville, in Grimes County,
