Born and raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Many of my ancestors came from Prussia, others from Belgium and Austria, and all of them settled in eastern Wisconsin between 1848 and 1907. The Brott surname came from the adoption of my 3rd great grandfather, Charles William, by the Brott family in Lockport, New York circa 1827. His birth mother was most likely English or Scottish by way of Canada, and his father descended from a line of Parkers who emigrated from England to Massachusetts in the 1640s.
