Hi,

in case you haven't seen this, and especially if your family's roots were/are in Europe, here's a page that has maps for a few countries:

Alternatively you may enter other names on top of the page and see the results below. There are links for Germany, Switzerland and Poland too on the bottom. Unfortunately in German language only, but a map doesn't need much translation to be understood. May be different with the details that are shown for each name ...

I found your post very interesting, my Father's name was Johann Anton Brandl (born 30/06/1926) in Rosstal Bavaria, and his mothers name was Katharina Brandl, on his birth Certificate it says that she was a resident in Rosstal, but shows no Fathers name so I presume he was illigitimate, he talked about his Grandmother who's name was Freda who also lived in Rosstal he also talked about Ernst and Franz, I have been trying to trace this side of the family for some time now so I hope we have a conection.

Hello,

I believe that the German name for the Vseruby near Eschlkam was Neumark. There is a 2nd town named Vseruby near Pilsen. Both towns appear on current maps. Wscherau bei Pilsen was the German name for the 2nd town. Is it possible that the Vseruby at the border with Eschlkam was also called Wscherau? I have jpg maps of both towns if interested. Thanks for info. Here is a link to a 1934 letter regarding Vseruby near border mentioning Neumark as German name.

2006-10-06 12:53:17Z

Thanks for the extensive info! A new piece of Info:
 
I just discovered that the village that "originated" our family, Eschlkam in 1994 made some "sister-village" parnerships with two Czech villages right nearby --- Kdyne und Vseruby-
 
Všeruby was called Wscherau bei Pilsen in German. I recall my maternal Grandmother once telling me that my paternal family came, ahe thought, from ther (which I had always mis-heard as "Wascherau" --- which may be a Hochdeutsch form of the name anyway, as this is similar to Swissgerman, which I understand, and "Au" means something like "meadow," but many villages have that in their name in the "Suddeutschraum" (Southern Germanophone Area --- Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland).
 
So The family probably originated as German-speakers in Wscherau, and then with the troubles hopped over the border into Eschlkam.

Thank you so much for your help. I've been researching for a year and a half. This is so nice of you to post this. My dad could only remember his grandfather as a farmer when he was a child. I did find he was a blacksmith, but wasn't sure what else he did. Thank you.

Re: Brandl's in Wisconsin

D_Mueller — 2006-10-27 00:51:27Z

I am aware of another child of Michael Brandl and Mary Pfeffer. She is Anna Brandl, married to Joseph Spaeth. They lived in the Town of Newton and are buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Alverno. I have the information from her death record that gives her date of death as 4/12/1903 and 83 yrs old at the time of death. Place of birth is only listed as Bavaria.

Is anyone familiar with a Theresa Brandl who immigrated about 1854, married Peter Braun and lived in the Town of Liberty? I believe her father was Wolfgang Brandl (Brandel) and had a sister Barbara, married to Anton Wimmer. Theresa's place of birth on the census is Bohemia and I know that Peter came from Friedrichstal which was in Bohemia. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am quite sure the town referred to in the Naturalization papers for Wolfgang should be Eschlkam. It is located in Bavaria a few miles from the Bohemian/Czech border and also is the place of birth of my Hastreiter ancestors. In the Town of Cato, the Hastreiters, Brandls, Staudingers were all neighbors and related in various ways.

Hallo stally,

I know the original message is not new. i hope you will still read it.

my great grandfather was george brandl (born appr. 1785 in Seewiesen). He married Elisabeth Seidl
His son has the name George Brandl too (born appr 1810 in Seewiesen, died 03.05.1864 in Schwarzthal,Bukowina). He married Barbara Pscheidl.
my ancestors lived in the bukowina til 1940s. then they emigrated to germany.
is there any connection to yours ? maybe is your "Mathias Brandl" a brother of the "George Brandl" of me.
if yes,i hope you have any informatíon for me.

stally23 — 2007-11-08 16:35:47Z

Thank you for your reply.
But unfortunately i have to say, that i don´t see any conection. My Josef Brandl was sure born in 1880. His father was Ferdinand Brandl (*1840), hist father Franz Brandl (*1794)and his father Mathias Brandl (now I don´t know yet when he was born).
Sure, I don´t have complete information about tis family, but now I don´t have that your Josef Brandl (* about 1820) :-( All of these Brandl were born in Seewiesen - expect Josef Brandl who was born in Frischwinkl (near Eisenstrass).
And now I don´t have information about Brandls emigration...I still live in Czech Republic...:-)

Brandl in Bohemia - Seewiesen, Frischwinkl, Reichenberg

stally23 — 2007-11-08 11:30:18Z

Hi, I´m a descendant of Josef Brandl, who was born in Frischwinkl (near Eisenstrass) in Bohemia in 1880.

He had some siblings - Katharina (*1864 in Todlau (Datelov)), Maria (*1868 in Dorstadt(Mestiste)), Anna (*1878 in Frischwinkl), Ferdinand (*1883 in Dorstadt - died as a child), maybe there were more children.

Their parents were Ferdinand Brandl (*1840 in Seewiesen - Schuhkatchken?) and Barbara Böhm (*1843 in Todlau).

My graet-grandfather married Franziska Urban from Wölsdorf (Vlckovice)and they lived in Reicheberg (maybe in Gablonz an der Neisse - I am not sure).

They had 4 children - Frida (my grandmother), Ferdinand, Julie and Marie. All of them (expect my grandmother) were after WWII moved to Germany. My mother should have there one cousin and she should have one daughter.

Is there anyone who is related to this Brandls?

I was born in this city, and I'm a descendant of this Joseph Brandl. This family came to Brazil from Eisenstrass, close to the bavarian border. I also research the Zipperer family, which came to São Bento from Flecken, Bohemia.

I think not.. my Joseph Brandl was born around 1833 in Eisenstrass, married to Anna Schweinfurter, son of Michael Brandl and Margareth Mundl. Is this Joseph you mentioned from that region? Maybe there's a relation.

wbrandl128 — 2007-09-04 20:32:03Z

Donna - Thanks for the info. Theresia is the same I think as Theresa, as she would have been my Great Grandfather Michael Sr.'s wife. His father was Joseph Brandl born abt. 1820. Theresia's parents were George Schreiner and Theresa Weiner, although I don't have any dates or birthplaces for them.

Much of what I have learned comes from Marsha Brandl who's great grandfather was also Michael Jr., so obviously you two are more closely related. Don't know anything about the others that you mentioned, but if you find more in the St. Mary's records please share it with me.

Finally yes, the other Donna Brandl is indeed Donna Crotteau from Rudolph, and is my wife of almost 40 years. We lived in Wis. Rapids for a long time, then Wausau and now in Charlottesville, VA.

Re: Brandl in Bohemia - Seewiesen, Frischwinkl, Reichenberg

wbrandl128 — 2007-11-08 15:21:32Z

Stally23 - I sure hope that we are somehow related to your Josef Brandl, as many of us have been searching for the link to Josef and his predecessors. Eisenstrass seems to be near Eisenstein (present day Czech town of Zelezna Ruda and the villagae formed at WWII conclusion called Bayerish Eisenstein). Many of these folks from this area (Kelnhofer's, Brandl's, etc.) emmigrated to the United States and seemed to settle near Aburndale, WI. That is my connection.

All we know about Josef is that he was born about 1820 in Austria. His son Michael Senior was born in Eisenstein 16 May 1844. Then Michael Junior, Carrie, Theresia, George G,and my Grandfather Anton came along.

Do you have a complete list of Josef's children that will confirm this Josef had a son named Michael?

wbrandl128 — 2007-08-22 12:22:29Z

My grandfather was Anton Brandl, son of Michael Sr., son of Joseph from Auburndale. My father was Martin and I am William. You can find my family tree posted on ancestry.com.

I am also looking for more information about Joseph, such as wife's name, dates of birth, death, etc., and of course the lineage before Joseph.

Theresia Schreiner is buried in the old Catholic Cemetary past the High School in Auburndale. The grave marker is quite worn as she died in 1887, only 5 years after coming to the states. My daughter and I made an etching of it this past summer and it is mostly in German. Haven't yet made any attempt at translating. My grandfather never really knew his mother as he was an infant when they came to America.

Theresia's parents were George and Theresia Weiner, but I have no birth or death dates on them. Would like more info if you have it.

Looking for relatives of John and Anna (Dillinger)Brandl, Milladore and Auburndale WI area (1857-1937) John came to USA in 1882 from Austria.

Also I am related to Michael Sr. Brandl son of Josef Brandl. Michael was born in Zelezna Ruda, Austria. Michael married Theresia Schreiner.

I have Brandl Relatives on both sides of my Family. Would Appreciate any help I can get.

Re: Brandl's from Wisconsin

sew4kicks — 2007-09-04 18:41:13Z

We also made a trip out to the Pioneer's of St. Mary's Cemetery on Monday. Found Theresa Brandl' s Stone. There is a plaque there of all the people and there are a few more Brandl's. There is a Theresia Brandl and a Theresa Brandl (Schreiner), which would be Michael Sr. wife. The other one I am woundering if it could be Michael SR. daughter, because she married a Joseph Baierl, and there is his name listed also. There is a Emma Brandl, she could be the Emma of Michael Jr., as in my records she only lived a year.) and a Wilhelmina Brandl also. Also a Ignatius and Michael Schreiner, maybe brothers of Theresa?

I talked to a lady at St. Mary's Church that works in the office there and she said I could come out any time and look through the records. So I am looking to schedule a day to do this and see if I can find out any more information.

Now to explain how we are related Your Grandpa Anton is a brother to Michael Jr? Michael JR would have been my Grandpa Edwards dad. Does this make sense?

Also just out of Curiousity did your wife live out in Rudolph WI for a time when she was growing up? There was Donna Crotteau living up the road from my parents when I was growing up and she married a Brandl.

Re: Brandl's from Wisconsin

The information I have found on Joseph Brandl is this:

Wife: Theresa Kercher? she was born in Austria
Born Abt. 1820 in Austria

Two children were listed Michael Sr and Anton (Born abt. 1850)

I found this on the internet on www.familytreemaker.genealogy.com

Haven't found any more on this yet to verify

Re: Brandls in Brazil

wbrandl1 — 2007-04-15 15:44:03Z

We have a Joseph Brandl, born about 1820 in Eisenstein, AU (today known as Zelezna Ruda, CZ). Eisenstein is right on the German border. I do not know who Joseph was married to, but his son Michael born 16 May 1844, was my Grandfather Anton's Father.

Re: Theresa Brandl

TilmanB — 2006-09-21 08:55:28Z

searching for Brandls isn't easy, that name it much too common in some regions. The Austrian phone directory at www.herold.at as of today has 278 Brandl entries, there must be about 1800 in Austria altogether.

To make it short - you'll need more information like a date of birth, marriage, etc. and/or a specific location in Vienna to find these people.

Look at http://www.magwien.gv.at/english/history/municipalarchiv/anc... for details an searching in Vienna.
