Re: Looking for Kamrath Family info

munnyhunny67 — 2013-05-17 01:35:56Z

Not sure if you'll get this but I will post anyway. Looks like you posted quite a few years ago. George Kamrath was my grampas dad. Orwin G Rhode was my grampas name. Yes they did live over by Dalton in Scott Township. I don't know that much about them other than they are related to me as well. Yes I believe George married Sylvia Riddle.

Hi Athena!
I'm not sure I have the information you're looking for, but I come from the "Mirr"s of Green Lake and am also looking for information. My great-grandfather was Edward Mirr (married to Florence). Maybe there is a bridge between Jacob and Catherine and Edward?

hello suz! need dates of birth to see if there is a connection to any of the kelms i know of in the green lake county area. the germans switched middle name & first name, so could be August Fred Kelm. do you have a birth date?

Re: Kelm Family

suzette362 — 2013-02-28 19:13:05Z

Have recently been in touch with Marvin Kelm from prior post. We are related through Andreas Kelm and Anna Justina Arndt. Their son, my great great grandfather Friedrich August Kelm came here abt 1862 and Marvin's grandfather Adolph Gustav Kelm came here in 1880. Adolph was Friedrich's nephew. Friedrich went to MN while Adolph went to WI. They were never in touch.
Also, Anna Justine Kelm Stibbe immigrated in 1886 to Richland County, WI. Also never in touch with other 2 Kelms. She was Friedrich's sister and Adolph's aunt.

Steve,
Thank you for posting your new found info on these stocks. From the postings over the post few years, it seems these people who were trying to start a new business plant and had managed to interest many persons in the midwest to invest. Wonder what the factory was to manufacture. All is a puzzle.

I have many names of Polish origin in my Wisconsin ancestors, but Piekarski was not one of them.

Maybe some one else on the site will able to go a new direction with this search and we'll know more.

Re: Rozwoj, Incorporated

I have found something while searching.
Frank Piekarski was a relative of mine by marriage. I came accross this letter with his passport application and though it was interesting. I have not found anything specific yet except that it was a corporation in Delaware started 1/20/1920. I don't know anything else at this time.

Wow thank you so much! I tried to talk with one of the churches in Princeton. I think it was St John's, and they were very guarded and not willing to disclose any info.

I think Robert Wright was born a few years before Helen and Anton were married.

Berlin, Wis...

Miss Helen Hoppa was married to Anton Baade at St. Michael's church, Monday morning at 9 o'clock, Rev. Father Mikolajczak officiating. The couple were attended by Miss Monica Klapper, and Edward Bartol, both cousins of the bride and from Princeton. Following the ceremony, the couple left on a short wedding trip to
points not made public. Upon their return they will reside on a farm near Princeton.

Re: Robert Daniel Wright

RPokorny — 2012-12-21 09:24:24Z

Hi, I am not related. Hope this helps. Rp.
I would think that there is a birth record for Robert in Green Lake County. In the 1920 census, Helen & her parents & siblings lived in Berlin, Green Lake County. There was a Wright family that lived there too in 1920.

Helen & Anton Baade were married in 1925 at St. Michael's church in Berlin. Have you tried to find a baptismal record for Robert in one of the Berlin churches? St. Michael's may be a good beginning.

Robert Daniel Wright

Born Jan 14, 1921, in the Green Lake area, I believe. He died in Milwaukee in 1988.
Mother Helen Hoopa, father unknown. Helen later married Anton Baade and Alfred Schneck. Helen's parents were Anton Hoppa and Mary Klappa.

Looking for info on Robert's father please.

Re: Achsah Davidson (Castor)

thomasker2 — 2012-11-28 14:46:43Z

I’m not related to any member of this family.

1940 is the last available census at this time.

Facts you should know about the early census records -
All census records [1790 – 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county; however some census takers listed the township
NO street address was stated
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, or divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships +++

I'm related through Henry's great great grandfather Zachariah Long who married Susannah Borden. Henry's great grandfather Edmond Long (married Margaret Sherman) and my ancestor William Long (married Abigail Smith) were brothers.
Edmond Long and Margaret Sherman's son Elisha Borden Long married Harriet Cook. Their son George Allison Long married Ellen Myers, parents of Henry Allison Long.

Please write hiramlong@mchsi.com if you wish to exchange information on the Longs.

Laura, I would love your help. I'm looking for some birth certificates on my aunt and her mother.....
Aunt is Olive Mae Kienitz born in 1920 and died in either 1925 (family information) or 1928 (headstone in St. John Baptist Cemetery) Mother Helen (below) and father Otto Kienitz. She isn't listed on any census as she must have been born after the 1920 one took place in that area, and obviously died before the next one.
Grandmother - Helen Cecelia Kienitz (nee Helen Drill or Helena Dryll) born 10/30/1897 in Princeton.
Don't when the family Anglasized Dryll or Drill). Never heard of my grandmother being called Helena or using Dryll. But her and one of her sisters are found under Dryll while all other family members are Drill.
No hurry, but any information you can find would be very welcome as our state is one of those that apparently doesn't share data with Ancestory.

Would like to confirm (if possible) births in Green Lake WI during the 1860's. Can not find them via current online sources and my old notes from 15+ years ago found nothing before early 1870's.

Jean,
hoping you still do lookups.
I have a Johann Gottfried Lau and Karl Ludwig Lau marrying Warnke sisters on 25 March 1858 in Crystal Lake, Marquette Co. I also know my ancestor Christian Friedrich Julius Lau (their brother) married Anna Wilhelmina Tetzloff on 14 Nov 1859 in Westfield, Marquette. Curious about two things - is there a more specific mention of birthplace for Anna (besides Prussia) or any other info about her? The Lau brothers had a sister Sophia A. Lau that married a Julius C. Platt/Plath...but I don't kwow if they married in Wisconsin (ie. listed in book) or in Prussia.

I know this is an old posting, but perhaps you are still active. My interest is the Kurkowski family -- Frank and his wife Anna (Barakowska (I think)) who came to Berlin in 1868 and his children. I'm particularly interested in Peter, b. 1877 who disappears from the records before 1905, Mary b. 1878 who also disappears, and twin sisters, Josie and Frances, who both stayed in Berlin through the 1940s. Also I'm trying to tie Frank with other Kurkowskis who came to Berlin a bit later , Joseph in 1880 and then moved to Stockton.

I had hoped to do this research myself while visiting my son in Madison, but he just moved to Seattle, so this trip will likely never happen.
