Summary
Three centuries, two countries, one immigrant family.
The year is 1850. Robert and Margarete and their two children pack up their lives and leave Germany forever. Their destination: America. After landing in New Orleans and joining a wagon train headed west to Nebraska, the immigrant family establishes a farm outside Omaha, working hard to build a new life despite the challenges they face.
Three centuries later, Robert and Margarete's descendants still live on that farm in Nebraska. They decide to investigate their roots and visit Germany, reversing the trip their ancestors made and coming back to touch a piece of their history.
