I also am a descendent of the same Carl Tesch, although I call him Carl Gottfried Wm according to St. John's Church Family Register, Watertown, WI. My relative was Augusta Tesch who was a sister to your William Friedrich. Our grandparents were cousins. I have the rest of Carl and Charlotta's (Schmekel) Tesch family and descendents of Augusta Tesch Wilde if want to share info. Do you know anything about the Schmekels or their 1st child Wilhelmina Sophie Frederike who married a Neuman & later on her children were adopted by aunts and uncles?

I am also a descendant of Carl T. Tesch. He was my 5-times great grandfather. William Tesch was by 4-times great grandfather. His daughter, Emma, married Oscar Schroeder. Their only son, William Schroeder, was my great grandfather. I remember the family speaking about Woodrow Tesch. I grew up in the Kensal/Jamestown ND area. By happenstance I now live in Madison WI, just 45 minutes from Watertown. I've been out a few times to find the grave of Carl and Charlotte Tesch in Watertown, but have still to locate it. I would love any information anyone has on the Voigts, Schmekels, or any other descedants of Carl Tesch.
