Doug-Thanks for the post. A lot has been found in the 15+ years since that post. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Albert and Johanna's original homestead SW of Fenton IA is still in the hands of Voigt descendants. There are church records for Karnitz on-line back to about 1760, but I find nothing in our direct line in Karnitz prior to about 1848. Indications in the records are that the family may have previously lived in Kirchhagen (now Konarzewo) and there are also some references to Groß Justin (now Gostyn). I do not think the LDS or Ancestry has had access to copy those records from those parishes, if they still exist. I certainly haven't found them.
I have been able to fill in many of the descendants to your line. A Voigt family member from New Ulm collected a lot of names and dates and shared them with me. I believe I have been able to fill in the blanks. (ie. Douglas>Richard>Arlo>Arthur>Albert).
I descend from Friedrich Voigt, nephew of Albert.
