Rote Surname

I'm looking for members of my mother's father's line. Her maiden name was Luella, and she was the second child of Galen Rote and Lulu Rote. Her father's parents were Alpheus Rote and Ella Ward, and her paternal grandparents were William and Magdalena. If you have Rotes in your family line, and they were born in the USA, chances are we're connected, due to the limited number of Rotes who immigrated to the USA in the 1800s.
