I didn't know that Johanna married a Putz, I just have info that Louise Graf married Ferdinand Putz. Johanna Graf Putz was my great grandmother's (Anna Graf) sister. It does get very complicated. Neat that they married into the same family tho.

I have a John Baptista Graf (listed on the passenger list 10-01-1888 - he came over with his mother Theresia Graf & her kids) and his birthdate was 06-20-1885 to death date 05-02-1925. Sometimes the dates and times correspond, but it's, as they say, a crap shoot. Pardon my language. Did he marry a Barbara Rothenbach? I know this is the correct John and I'm hoping I'm right about his wife. If not, then please let me know, so I can correct it. There are days, I have to say, when the names are SO jumbled I don't know my own name, lol. So, John was my great great uncle? Anyway, Anna Graf was my great grandma. I love doing these researches, and it's awesome how many people I have found, and so many people I've talked to that I'm related to in some way, but it's sad too because I never met a lot of these folks. I would have loved to meet Anna Graf. My mom talked very highly of her. Sweet lady. Unfortunately, my mom's dad, Ernest, (Anna Graf's son,) died in 1923 in a Street Car accident, and my mom and siblings (cept for her older brother) were sent to an orphanage around 1926-27, so the family was scattered. I never got to meet any of my grandparents, and that's sad to me.
Thanks for the information.

Adam Pykoski was my great grandfather. Benedict was my grandfather. Mae's real name was Mary. Once Annie died, I understand that Adam dropped my grandfather, Benedict off at an orphanage. He ran away from there when he was about 15. While he did stay in touch with his siblings and ultimately returned to MN to get married, I don't know much more about Annie or Adam.
