Hi,

Since this message was posted in 2004, I am not sure if you will even view this message.

I am the daughter of Joe. Were your parents living in Houston. I know I had an Uncle Adolph in Houston. We would visit them. They had two daughters named Bula and I cannot remember the other (I may even have Bula's name wrong.)

I live in San Antonio. Uncle Otto owned the farm in Weimar and only just sold it a couple of years ago. He had lived in San Antonio for many years by that time. (I lived with Uncle Otto and Aunt Kathy for about a year and a half) Uncle Otto passed away about a year ago, he was 87. His Son David just died three weeks ago. And, oldest son Alan, died in 1981.

My dad Joe past away around 1994. He was 81. My mom Rita, died in 1981. My brother Joe lives in Austin and Sister Sue lives in a suburb of Dallas.

Aunt Rosalie past away around 1985. She and Uncle John's daughter is still living and is 80. We talk on the phone. She came for Uncle Otto's funeral and look pretty good for an 80 year old. The lived in Gonzales (and still have a farm there) but she is now around Dallas where her daughter Shirley lives.

Mary Ann and Johnny Mitcherling still live in Houston. She even has a picture, which I need to ask for again, of the old homestead with the grandparents on all of the Broz children, except for Uncle Otto. My dad is a baby in the picture. Their mom Alvina (Aunt Beanie) died a while back. Maybe around 6 years ago.

Aunt Mary who lived near the Texas coast , I have not kept up with. I am uncertain if she is still living. I also do not know anything about Aunt Francis.

Mary Ann or Shirly would know more than I as I am much younger than they are.

I have been curious and have tried to research some ancestry, but could not get far. I need to take the time to talk to Alice and Mary Ann and see what they know. Aunt Kathy may know some too (but since she married into the family, she does not know a lot.)

Please feel free to contact me. My name is now Barbara Wallerstedt and I live in San Antonio, TX. I am married to my husband Douglas for nearly 24 years and we have 4 boys,
Lincoln, Lance, Luke & Lex.

Barbara
