Hyde’s Mom – 10/10/10

October 10, 2020

Knowing that today is October 10th, which is also sometimes written as 10/10, I decided to look for a 10/10/10 story. I first looked to see if there might be some reference to a special event in our German Family Tree that took place on October 10, 1810. That search was unsuccessful. I then decided … More Hyde’s Mom – 10/10/10

A Kramer/Oberndorfer marriage took place on this date in 1898, and it is their story I will write today.  Let’s start with the groom.

Bergt & Panning Store – Altona, NE

April 27, 2020

A brand new surname shows up on this blog today.  Panning.  This surname does show up in our German Family Tree somehow, even though there are no local entries for this name in any local church records.  Mary Panning is today’s birthday girl.  She was born on April 27, 1869, the daughter of Henry and … More Bergt & Panning Store – Altona, NE

Emma’s Heartbreaking End

August 1, 2019

Today’s story had so many twists and turns.  For a while, I even considered not telling it.  However, as you can see, I did end up writing and sharing it.  And now that I have finished researching it, I conclude that it is an amazing tale. Emma Christiana Maria Lueders was born on August 1, … More Emma’s Heartbreaking End

Newlyweds Off to Nebraska

February 11, 2019

I am going to tell a story today that fits in with a recurring theme in the annals of East Perry County history.  The theme is as follows:  “Get married; leave town.”  I have found quite a few of these types of stories especially among those who got married right about the time of World … More Newlyweds Off to Nebraska

However, we have … More Henry Becomes a Husker

1852 – An Eventful Year for Hugo

January 12, 2019

The year 1852 was packed with significant events in the life of Hugo Rauss, except he was not aware that they were happening.  He was a baby.  First of all, Hugo was born on January 12th of 1852.  That birth took place in an area of southwest Germany known as Baden-Wurttemberg.  He was the son … More 1852 – An Eventful Year for Hugo
