Krupp Families IN Ohio 1868 to 1880

I have been researching my family for more than 30 years. The Golem (Golembiewski and variations) and Krupp lines in my family originated in the village of Riesenkirch, West Prussia during the 1700s and 1800s. Today this is in Poland in the vicinity of the city of Prabuty, some 50 km south of Gdansk, near the Vistula River. I have done a lot of work with microfilm records from Churches in Riesenkirch and some of the surrounding towns and have an extensive tree detailing some of those families, and others such as Mans (Manns, Mannz, Manz), Volkmann, Tchorsch (Tchors, Tchorz, Tschorsch), and others. My Great Great Grandparents emigrated from "Germany" in 1868 and arrived in the area of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada where they settled for perhaps one year. At that point I have lost track of their whereabouts until they surface again in Ontario in 1878. I am pretty sure they lived in the United States during this time, but I have not discovered where. I do know that a few members of the Krupp side of the family came to live in Ludington, Mason, Michigan around 1869, and subsequently moved to Amherst, Lorain, Ohio. The names Hintz and Grabowski married female members of the family.
My GGGrandparents were Gottfried Golembiewski (1820-19o6) and Eva Krupp (1823-1910) and they were probably living with one of their sons, also Gottfried (1846-1924). The latter married in the US to a new immigrant Emilie Sliebig (1853-1878) who came from Germany to marry him, and their first child was born in the US. Her name was Hulda, born Dec 24, 1877, so I surmise that his parents were married about 1876. (Family lore is that Gottfried was "visiting" relatives in the US and someone showed him a picture of a young woman who still lived in Germany, and he said: "I could really love a girl like that", so they sent for her. Naturally, at that time it probably took about two years for these events to play out, if indeed the story is factual, so I am focusing on about 1874.
If anyone can point me in the right direction to discover just where my family lived it would help me solve this "blind" spot in their history. I am always happy to share information with others if I can, so would be happy to reciprocate.
