Brenda asked Susie Finkbeiner:

Good morning! I've just started reading and am enjoying "All Manner of Things". My question is not book related though! I grew up in central North Dakota, and a neighbor family were Finkbeiners. Do you have any relations there? Just curious! Thanks!

Susie Finkbeiner Hi, Brenda!

Thanks so much for reading All Manner of Things. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

How fun! I didn't know there were Finkbeiners in North Dakota. I'm sure we are related, even if distantly. Apparently, two brothers immigrated from Germany in the 1700s. They settled in West Michigan (which is where a lot of us still live), but a few ventured out. How fun that you lived near a family member of mine that I never met. :)
