Both families traveled to the United States via the port of Bremen and both made new homes near the Wolf River and Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Six brothers and sisters from the Romberg family emigrated from Braunschweig, Germany to Wisconsin in the 1850s and 1860s. The Knokes, neighbors from Braunschweig, came to America at the same time and intermarried with the Rombergs. In the 1870s, Wilhelmine and Ludwig Patzlaff and eight of their ten children came to Wisconsin from a different part of Germany, Pomerania in Prussia. The Patzlaffs settled on farms a few miles south of the Romberg family in Black Wolf Township in Winnebago County. The Patzlaff and Romberg families connected in 1873 when Caroline Patzlaff, one of the children of Wilhemine and Ludwig, married Heinrich Ahswede, a Romberg counsin. In 1878 William Kester, the son of one of the original Romberg immigrants, married Alvine Patzlaff, another daughter of Wilhemine and Ludwig.
