Looking for Gschwend ancestory
My name is David August Gschwend, DOB-13 May 1938, POB - Hicks Community, Marvell, AR. Father: August Carl William Gschwend, DOB-9 Mar 1915, POB - Hicks Community, Marvell, AR. DOD/Place of burial - 3 August 1993, Schaffhauser Cemetery, Marvell, AR. Grandfather: John Joseph Gschwend, DOB-20 May 1866, POB - Altstatten, near St Gallen, Switzerland. DOD/Place of burial - 11 Feburary 1948, Schaffhauser Cemetery, Marvell AR. Great Grand Parents: Joseph Gschwend and Elizabeth Schachtler Gschwend. My great grandfather was something like the mayor of Altstatten. Joseph and Elizabeth Gschwend had 2 other children: Jacobe and Barbara. Verbal family history is that Barbara never married, was a catholic nun. Jacobe had 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls. The three girls, Pauline Gschwend ___, Carolina Gschwend Deiss, and Marie Gschwend Dubach immigrated to America. According to Marie Deiss, 90 year old daughter of Caroline Gschwend Deiss, the 6 boys were: Jacobe, Joseph, Theodore, August, ______ and Paul. To her knowledge, none of these boys immigrated. She presently does not remember the name of the 5th son but is working on it. I have the names of all direct descendents of John Joseph Gschwend and Louise Ebert Gschwend. I am looking for kin through the Jacobe Gschwend lineage.

Hafa Adai to you too. Yes, this is me, David Gschwend. Yes, I was married to your sister. No, I don't live in Arkansas. You may have seen my name in the white pages. There are two David Gschwends listed in telephone directory - me in Marvell, AR and my son David Anthony (Tony) in Greenbrier. Where in Mosourie do you go to visit your son? We go to St Joseph MO just about every year to visit with my wife's sisters. Good to hear from you.

Re: Looking for Gschwend ancestory in U
This is the very beginning of a search for Gschwend family relatives in Switzerland and the U.S. My grandfather was named Alfred Gschwend, born probably in the late 1870's. He lived in St. Gallen, Switzerland until about the mid 1960's. St. Gallen is near Alsaten and perhaps had relatives there. He was about 87 when he died. My father, John (Johann)Gschwend, was born on August 10, 1902. He immigrated to the United States in 1922 and landed at Elis Island. The immigration department changed his name to John G. Schwend.

Re: Looking for Gschwend ancestory in U.S. and Switzerland
This is my very first attempt at locating members of the Gschwend family. I noticed information about a John Joseph Gschwend from Alstatten, Switzerland which has prompted me to start this search. My Grandfather, Alfred Gschwend was born in the mid to late 1870's and lived in St. Gallen, Switzerland. He had at least four children, Alfred, Jr. Anton, Johann and Millie. My father, Johann Gschwend, was born in 1902 and immigrated to America in 1922 landing on Elis Island. The Immigration Department changed his name to John G. Schwend. He lived in NYC and Hawthorne, New York. I was born in 1939. John Joseph Gschwend, DOB 1866 could possibly have been a brother of my grandfather.

Re: Looking for Gschwend ancestory in U.S. and Switzerland
we talked several years back regarding Marie Deiss. I was wondering if you came across any additional information regarding the Gschend line. Do you have the name of Karolina's mother? Her father was jacob, correct?

Re: Looking for Gschwend ancestory in U.S. and Switzerland
Sorry, I have no information concerning either Marie Deiss or Karolina's mother. I think you have me confused with another Gschwend searcher.

Re: Looking for Gschwend ancestory in U.S. and Switzerland
My Great-Great Grandfather was John Joseph Gschwend and was born in St. Gallen Switzerland in 1818. He is burried next to his second wife Susannah Beier Gschwend from Germany. His first wife was Anna Kron Gschwend from Chur, Switzerland. His lineage is available at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=49... He had several children: Carl Johan Gschwend (1852 - ____)* Anna Josephine Gschwendt Tauscher (1866 - 1958)* Wilhelmina Gschwend Tauscher (1870 - 1950)* Jacob Anton Gschwend (1872 - 1958)* Marie Thercsia Gschwend Kries (1858-1937) Catharine Auguste Gschwend Kries (1854-1921) *all are burried in Wartburg, TN at Wartburg Cemetery. Maybe Alfred is a brother to my Great-Great Grandfather?
