Migration of the Besore familyPrussia played an extremely influential role in shaping modern German history. It remained a part of Germany until after the Second World War.

Many Prussians became residents of these new countries after the War, and many migrated to other parts of Germany or Europe, as well as to North America. In the United States, the majority of settlers landed in Philadelphia, and moved on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. Many German settlers also migrated to Canada, particularly to Ontario and the Prairies. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name Besore were Christopher Besser, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1732; Benddeck Besser, who came to Philadelphia, Pa. in 1739; Edward Besser, who settled in Philadelphia in 1856..
