Hi! Well I'm not exactly sure where in Germany William was from. I have searched through hundreds if not thousands of immigration records and only come up with one Wilhelm Vogele that fits the birth year of our William and the immigration date (1854) given on the 1900 Census. This Wilhelm Vogele is leaving from Oldenburg, Germany, heading to Buffalo, NY. He is a shoemaker, which also makes me think this is him. I remember my grandfather, Ed Vogele, working in his shed repairing shoes when we were little and would visit. He had all kinds of shoe making and repair tools. Somewhere I got Heidelburg as his place of birth, but unfortunately I can't remember where -- I'm usually better at writing down notes about this stuff, but didn't for some reason... In The History of Richardson County (1917), it states William and Augusta were married in 1864 in Buffalo, NY and were natives of the Kingdom of Wuertemburg. I know this marriage date is wrong, as their first child was born in 1862. The 1900 census gives their marriage date as 1861. I know they moved to Nebraska in 1867, before the birth of their third son, Albert. If there is anything I might be able to help you with, let me know... You've been at this longer than I have, so you probably have more info...

your Cuz,
Shelly
