You can find this information on my tree, at http://gw3.geneanet.org/dyova_w?lang=en;pz=david+alan;nz=hir...

Thank you. A book would be really nice. I am stationed in Italy at the moment and would like to go to where we are from, just to see it and say I've been there. I don't think John was alive when I was born but I know Anita was. Grandma (Joyce) married Edward Hayes (my Grandpa and best man I ever knew) I wasn't close to Aunt Melda and Uncle Lloyd because they lived far away. I grew up in Victoria. But we say them on holidays and I was at both of their funerals.

I'm pleased to me you. I'm so glad this site works.

Forgot one thing. Of the 12 A. J. and L. Wiederkehr children, only 9 survived. 6 lived in Freer, Texas, 2 lived in Bellville, Texas, 1 lived in Corpus Christi. I am the youngest of all the Wiederkehr grandchildren. I was the only grandchild that L. Wiederkehr did not meet.

Re: just curious.

txranchers — 2010-10-17 15:21:03Z

Monroe was born in 1906. My father was the youngest of 12 children. There were two sets of twins born. One set was still born and Uncle Monroe had a twin brother who was either still born or died later. I am not really sure. Grandpa, I have been told, immigrated into the US and sailed into Galveston, Texas where he moved to Bellville, Tx. He heard about land in South Texas for sale that was very cheap. I am not sure how many acres he purchased, but my brother and I still own approximately 1,800 acres of the original homestead. The rest of the old ranch is divided between the families of Henry Wiederkehr and Woodrow Wiederkehr.

Re: Monroe E. Wiederkehr

txranchers — 2010-10-17 14:43:01Z

My father's brother was Uncle Monroe who lived in Benavides, Texas, who was married to Aunt Clara. They had a son (deceased) named Clint Wiederkehr, who was married to Kitty Wiederkehr (deceased). They lived in Ft. Worth, Tx. (or around there). Kitty had researched the entire A. J. Wiederkehr family all the way back to Europe and even had pictures of all of my Wiederkehr ancestors. I do not know how far back she had gone, but she was going to have the collection printed in a book and each of the 9 families from A. J. & L. Wiederkehr were to receive a copy of it. She never got around to it. Would really like to pursue this. Your great grandmother was my aunt. I knew her and Uncle John well. Joyce had a sister named Melba Thomas Upton, who was married to Lloyd Upton and also lived in Freer, Texas.

He built the home I own there in 1892. They had a neice marry in the house sometime between 1892-1931. They wew members of St.Patrick's Catholic church near their home. He was a successful businessman (Grocer/Mercantile).Let me know if any of this rings a bell. I may have more info later on.Thanks!

The parents of Kasper Wiederkehr was Johann Widerkehr and Verena Widerkehr from Spreitenbach, Kanton Aargau, Switzerland. Spreitenbach is on the other side of the river Limmat.

I'am interested in any information about Wiederkehr form everwhere.

Re: Wiederkehr / Wiederkahr

justinboyd1 — 2005-12-31 18:32:28Z

Johann Andreas Wiederkehr and Rosina Katharina were brother and sister. Rosina Katharina married Johannes Sax. Johannes died in 1879, but his son Alfred also started a vineyard/winery in Altus, Arkansas. I have more information on the Wiederkehr-Sax family if interested. Kasper Wiedkeher born in 1778 is as far back as I have. I would be interested in information further back than Kasper.

Thanks!

hello,
I am looking for descendants of Josef Wiederkehr, who arrived with his family in NY on the ship Caldera in 1880.
Extensive search in Germany has so far drawn a blank.
Does anybody know anything about this family?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Wiederkehr / Wiederkahr

Johann Andreas Wiederkehr and his wife Katharina Josepha Güller were from Würenlos, Canton Aargau, Switzerland

Re: Wiederkehr / Wiederkahr

2002-09-30 17:17:59Z

While unrelated to Wiederkehr family, we are attempting to determine the connection of Johann Andreas Wiederkehr married to Katrina, possibly from the Niederwil or St. Gallen of Canton St. Gallen in Switzerland, to possible Weinhandlung family Wiederkehr in that region.

Johann and Katrina migrated to the US in 1880 and started a vineyard/winery business in Arkansas.

I have conflicting info. Some say Casper
Wiederkehr came from Switzerland, no
known community. Others say he was
born in Alsace-Lorraine, which was never
Swiss territory--only French and German.
The Wiederkehr surname is common in
both Germany and Switzerland. He
married a girl from Bowden, Germany.

Emily Wiederkehr in England

My Great-Grandmother, Emily Wiederkehr was born 10th January 1867 in Unterehrendingen, canton Argau,Switzerland.
She came to England as a lady's maid, met and married John Crunden in Canterbury 1855. She spent the rest of her life in England. She lived most of her life in Dover, Kent. She died in 1949 in Tankerton, Kent.

I would dearly love to be able to trace her ancestry in Switzerland.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, particulary from people who might be descended from the same family.

My grandfather's sister, Ludwina Hagemann, married an

Is this the Arnold John Wiederkehr you mentioned in your
message? I would like to know the details of the family
history. Arnold and Ludwina moved to Freer, Duval, Texas
and may have had a son Arnold, born Feb 6, 1904 and
another son Monroe, born 24 July 1906.Is this
the Monroe E. you mentioned and who is Myrtle?
Thank you.

Wiederkehr / Wiederkahr

ThomasKerr15 — 2004-02-25 01:31:30Z

Joy Barnett
Hi. I have no idea as to where the Weiderkehr
family originated.
I have Wiederkahr's on my family tree. My third great grandfather Bernhard Mader married Elisabeth Wiederkahr on May 10,1798
She was his second wife. Elisabeth was born in Benken,Kanton Zurich in Jan.1758. Her
father was Heinrich Wiederkahr from Hori, Kanton Zurich.Her mother was Gottlieb Martz
from Marthalen, Kanton Zurich. They had a total of seven offspring. I have no further
info concerning this family.

During the peroid 1634 - 1647 another Wiederkahr family resided in Benken. Zacharias Wiederkahr and his wife Margaretha Bayer. This couple had eight offspring born
to them. F.H.L. microfilm # 0996810. Records of the Evang-reform Kirch, Benken,Zurich.

Also during the period 1690-1710 Andreas Wiederkahr and his wife Regula Lund resided
in Benken. This couple had eight offspring born to them. One son Johannes Wiederkahr
married Elsabeth Meister. This family must
have also resided in Benken because Johannes
died in Benken on March 7, 1776. F.H.L. microfilm # 0996810. This is all the information that I have uncovered concerning the Wiederkahr/Wiederkahr families.

You might want to check with the archives in
Zurich. The address is:
STAATSARCHIV DES KANTON ZURICH
Winterthurerstrasse 170
CH-8057, Zurich, Switzerland.

Their email address is: staatsarchiv.ddi@zh.ch
Good luck
