I have significant research (and several dead-ends) on the Klabunde history in Two Rivers/Manitowoc/Kewaunee Wisconsin. Would love to find siblings and parents of Herman F. W. Klabunde (b.1851) and wife Wilhelmine Kohls (b.1853). Immigrated from Germany, possibly Stettin (now Poland), in rougly 1893. They had two sons, Ameal (Emil) Fredric Klabunde (b.1876) and Albert Fred Klabunde (b.1878).

If we are talking about the same Albert, then your great grandfather, Albert Fred Klabunde (7/3/1878 - 1934), married Amanda J. Stelzer (4/12/1885 - 10/1975)(oldest daughter of Ira Stelzer; 2nd daughter is Leona). Albert and Amanda's children, oldest to youngest, were Harvey, Viola, Ira, and Irvin.
When Amanda was 15, she lived next door to Albert's brother, my great-great grandfather Ameal Fredric Klabunde. I was at the Ameal Klabunde farm last month. I would seem that Amanda lived at the farm next door.
If this story is consistent with your records, I'll send you the census records and your great-grandfather's WWI draft registration card.

The old Klabunde farm is at 14520 Crossroad Drive, Mishicot. Now owned by Tony Heyroth. On the 1920 census, Ira's grandmother, Wilhelmine Klabunde lived with them in Two Rivers after the death of her husband, Herman. Do you think Ira would have any oral or other history on Herman and Wilhelmine Klabunde that he(?) would be willing to share with me?

Thank you for the information. I'm sure Ira would tell you more if asked. He lives in Two Rivers.I'm assuming you are from around that area.By the way my Dad was William KLabunde.

Karen,
I recently spent an entire day with Ira and have spoken with him several times since. He just turned 89. He provided me with tons of information on your second great grandparents (my third great grandparents) Herman and Wilehelmine (Kohls) Klabunde. If your interested in the data, I can get you back to 1816, the birth of Carl Klabunde and wife Caroline (Zemke) our 3rd/4th great grandparents in Shivelbien, Germany (now Swidwin, Poland). Thanks for leading me to Ira. That was a very significant meeting!
By the way, this makes us 3rd cousins once removed.

Dieter,

There are good similarities between your data and mine. I am sending you a PDF file that contains all my data and supporting footnotes on Carl Klabunde's children and grandchildren. I have a different birth year for Emil; our records are consistent to the day on Albert Friedrick Wilhelm; and I was unaware of a Hermann or Martha.

Let's continue our dialogue. I would love to determine more facts of Carl Klabunde (1816), and his parents, and further confirm my current data.
