Carl Teichmer was my great grandfather. I understand he was born in Germany in 1838 and married Christiana Achterberg in 1858. They came to America after marrying. I am really interested in finding out about their history in Germany. I can be reached at hlthwrld@horizon.hit.net

Hi Karen! My name is Joe A. Hart, of Lubbock,TX. I am the 2nd great grandson of Carl Teichmer Christina Achterberg. In WFT Vol. 4, Tree 1535 you will see Carl Christina's daughter, Theresa Teichmer who married Charles Edmund Widle; after his death, Theresa married Cage Jennings and they had one daughter, Tressie Gladys Jennings. Tressie married Millard Fillmore Swart; their daughter Chloe Maerion Swart has my mother. I am currently researching the Achterberg, Teichmer, Bulgrin, Widle, Schroeder, and Jennings line. Maybe we have some info we can exchange! I can be reached at jhart@hub.ofthe.net. Thanks Joe.

We were really glad to hear from you but have been tied up with a family business and couldn't get back to the search.

We haven't come up with anything that you probably don't have but we do have a picture of Carl and Christina and a few of the kids.

Hi Mary! Glad to hear from you!
Glen Roosevelt Swart was Millard Fillmore Swart's brother.
Millard was the son of Seymour Swart and Juneta McGriff and was born March 12, 1897 in Hutchinson, KS.
He married Tressie Gladys Jennings (b. 28 Oct 1901 outside of Dixie, Pawnee Co., Indian Territory, OK) in Ft. Worth, TX., August 6, 1921.
Millard was a Dr. of Optometry and, as far as I know, was the first Optometrist in West TX. He and Tressie moved to Slaton, TX shortly about 1923 and he "rode the circuit" of small West TX towns in his Model T Ford and his lens case.
They moved to Lubbock, TX in 1923 and he build a thriving Optometric practice and became mentor to many of the young graduate Optometrists of the decade.
Millard is credited with aiding in the establishment of the College of Optometry at the University of Houston and an extension program at Duncan, OK. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, a Shriner and a member of the Scottish Rite.
Millard Tressie had only one child, Chloe Maerion Swart, b. 1 Feb. 1925 in Lubbock, TX; d. 30 May 1968 in Lubbock, TX. She also was a Dr. of Optometry and worked with Millard in their Swart Optometric Clinic in Lubbock until they opened a branch Clinic in Brownfield, TX.
Millard died of a heart attack in Lubbock, TX. August 20, 1956.
Chloe M. Swart had three children, Katy Ann Farron, Joel Alan Taylor (me) and Pam Hart. After Chloe's death in 1968, Pam and I went to live with Tressie. Tressie Gladys (Jennings) Swart died June 25, 1979 in Lubbock, TX.
Kimberly Swart has an excellent tree of the Swart family at www.familytreemaker.com; enter Glen Swart in the search form and it will take you to her link.
Hope to hear from you again!
