Hi, Bruno Zeps was my grandfather. His mother was Anna Jischke, and her father Johann was your Frank's brother...Question--Wasn't it Frank's son Martin who married Mary Bunda, not Frank himself? Grandpa Bruno came to the US in the 1920's and lived in Door County with his Jischke cousins for awhile. He eventually moved to Milwaukee and met my grandmother Josephine there (he was actually a boarder at their house). He apparently used to take Grandma and her brother up to Door County to visit the family from time to time...interesting, because she was a teenager, and he was 10 years older than she was! I had contacted George Jischke some years ago and he sent me a copy of a letter, in German, that my great-great-grandfather Johann had written to Franz. I don't have a whole lot of info on the family, but Bruno had 9 kids, 32 grandchildren, and God only knows how many of the next generation we are up to. So there are Jischke relatives all over the place.
