To Sharon:
My mother was a Poferl and grew up in St. Paul. I have a great deal of info on the Poferl's and also a good contact in the Twin City area who wrote a book about the Poferl family. Please e-mail me at the above address and perhaps we can share some info on the family.

I am a decendant of Joseph Poferl b. 1811. My grandmother on my dads side was a Poferl and I have a quite extensive backing thanks to a cousin of my dads who lives in St. Cloud MN. My great uncle always had fantastic exhibits at the MN State Fair every year. I would love to exchange information with you. Please e mail me at Cormad@aol.com

Diana, I saw your posting in ancestry.com regarding the Poferl family. In our family, seven brothers and two cousins immigrated from Canada to the Cloquet MN area -- all between 1877 and early 1900s. One of these Prevost's married a Hanna Poferl. I am inquiring if you have any information about her. All I have is a death record -- here's the information from that record:
Mrs. Hanna Poferl Prevost
Died: Nov 17 1918, Knife Falls, Carlton Cty
Born: Jun 22, 1890, Rutledge, Minnesota
Address: Knife Falls, Carlton Ct
Spouse: married
Occupation: Housewife
Father: Anto Poferl (born Germany), Mother: Katherine Meyers (born Germany)
Informant: Ralph Prevost
Cause of death: Pneumonia
Buried: Calvary Cemetery
On the death record, her husband's name is not listed (under spouse all it says is married). I suspect she was the first wife of Ralph William Prevost ... but that is just an educated guess at the moment. Any information you would have would be very much appreciated. I am most interested in determining exactly which Prevost she was married to and marriages dates/locations.

I have a William Poferl from Minnesota. Was married to Mary Putz. I believed they might have lived in St. Paul

Any connections?

I have a picture of Joseph Poferl with his wife and seven sons. I am descended from one of his sons--Matthew. They were from Minnesota.
