Today’s highlighted couple had consecutive birthdays. The bride’s birthday was yesterday, and the groom’s is today. I will begin by looking at today’s birthday boy.

He was baptized at Peace Lutheran … More A Lintner and Hoehn Link Up
I will confess right away that I am taking a little bit of liberty with a name in order to have a clever title. Emanuel’s first wife was definitely a Pauline. However, his second wife had one of her names as Pauline, but she went by her other name, Sarah. I will also state that … More Emanuel and His Pauline’s
Gotthilf Johannes Lorenz is the one who has a birthday today. Almost all of the documents for him call him John. He was born on July 27, 1873, the son of August and Justine (Franke) Lorenz.

There are already two other posts titled, Martin and Martha, and another one titled, Martha and Martin. So, when I found another husband and wife who were named Martin and Martha today, … More Another Martin and Martha

Johann Gottlieb Palisch and his wife, Johanna (Kaempfe) Palisch, came to America as part of the Gesellschaft that arrived in Perry County in 1839. He came aboard the ship, Johann Georg, with 6 children. You could make the argument that this couple came with 7 children because Johanna was pregnant during the voyage. Their 7th … More J.G.

Each day at the Museum brings a different story. The last couple of weeks we’ve enjoyed stories with a wide variety of focus. Family with area roots that know that we will respect and care for their family heirlooms, tourists that are just passing through Southeast Missouri and heard that this is a “good place … More This week at the Museum…
When I began my search through our German Family Tree for an event that took place on this particular date, I didn’t expect that search to land on the same Vogel family that was highlighted in yesterday’s post.
