Tesch in Washington Co., WI
I am searching for this family:
Charles Tesche was born ca 1819 in Prussia as was his wife, Mary. They were living in 1860 in Germantown, PO Shaats Villa (?) with their family: Wilhelmina - 17 Frederick - 14 August - 12 Henry - 10 Rosalia - 6 Anna - 4
Frederick married Margaret and moved to Missouri where at age 24 he was a grocer. Later he bought a hotel at Warrensburg.
Would like to contact descendants of the rest of the family in Wisconsin. Would also like to know more about Charles's origins. He came from Prussia but we do not know when nor where in Prussia - nor his parentage. Does anyone know these things?

Re: Tesch in Dodge/Washington Cty, WI
The Tesch family in Hartford, Wisconsin, Washington County, is my relation. Ernest Tesch is the son of Carl Tesch and Louise Bohnenstengel. Louise (Bohnenstengel) Tesch was a sister to my great grandfather William Bohnenstengel. William's daughter (my grandmother) visited the Tesch families in Hartford often. My Mom (who is still living) remembers the Tesch family. Would like to connect with any living relatives. Have a lot of info to share!

Carl Frederick Wilhelm Tesch was born in Germany September 5, 1836, and died August 15, 1912, in Hartford, WI. First wife, Ernestina Dins, had one daughter Augusta--church records say Augusta was born Glewitz, Pommern. Ernestina preceded him in death in Germany and Carl then married Louise Bohnenstengel (Bohnenstengels also from Glewitz, Pommern). Louise Bohnenstengel was born February 20, 1847 and died July 25, 1924, in Hartford, WI. Their children were Charles, William, Ernest, and Alvina.

I also have the name Otto in my family. My grandmother, Martha Bohnenstengel married 1. Ben Griep, 2. Gus Griep, brothers. Gus and Ben had a sister, Bertha Griep, who married Richard Otto. These families were EXTREMELY close. I can't help but wonder if this Otto / Bohnenstengel relationship went back to Pommern--couldn't help but see these names in your family tree!
