My great great grandfather was Anton Gschwend who immigrated with his wife, Maria and children from Goldach, by St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1882. Their children were Maria Magdeline Gschwend, Ida Gschwend, Emma Gschwend, Frieda Gschwend, and Joseph Gschwend. The settled in Pittsburgh in the north side area then known as Allegheny City near East Street. If I can be of any help to you, please email me at bmccusker@email.msn.com

John Joseph Gschwend was my great-great-grandfather. The information I have is that he was born in 1818 and died 6-15-1904. His wife's name was Susanna (b. 5-22-1832 - d. 2-23-1908). Their children were: Charles J. born around 1849; Augusta born around 1855; Francis J. born around 1856; Mary born 1858 (who was my greatgrandmother); John born around 1866; Anna born around 1868; Wildmina born around 1870 and Jacob born around 1874. In 1860 John Gschwend was a wagon maker. In 1870 he was a farmer. That is about all the information I have. I am also looking for more information and a picture of him also. Hope this helps some.
