TOTSCH FAMILY

Surnames: Totsch, Totch, Burns, Oolum
I periodically find time to continue research into my ancestry and would welcome contact from (and re-connecting with) any Totsch family members who are doing the same.

I live in Illinois. My father was Carl Henry Totsch b. 1917, wife Julia Mary Zysk.
He was one of 7 children. His siblings were Veronica, Anastasia, Mary, Emmett & Earl (twins,) & Raymond. All are deceased, My grandfather was Oscar Henry Totsch b. 1879, wife Anna Burns, (both deceased.) Oscar was one of 11 children - not certain I have all of the names exact--Catherine, John, Peter, Joseph, Henry, Mary, Caroline, Christina, Frank, Elizabeth. Their parents (my great-grandparents) were Johann (later changed his name to the English version John) and Caroline Oolum. My great-grandfather Johann immigrated from Germany or Prussia with his two brothers. One of the brothers was Mathias and the other I believe was Henry. Mathias and Johann fought for the Union in the Civil War. I do not know if Johann and his brothers had any other siblings, nor do I know the names of any other family members with the exception of Anna Burns' mother Barbara Ellen Burns.

I believe that some family members may have changed the surname spelling to Totch.

I'm beginning to connect the dots, and would like to hear from other family members who can assist!

Thank you!
