B.J. and Anna – A Koenig/Brueckner Pair

August 28, 2020

I often “troll” our German Family Tree looking for a special birthday or anniversary. I search for such things as 200th birthdays or 150th anniversaries. Today, I located a 150th birthday. The tale of Benjamin Joseph Koenig is what I will attempt to share with you today. Benjamin Joseph (B.J.) Koenig was born on August … More B.J. and Anna – A Koenig/Brueckner Pair

Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 4

November 21, 2018

I really wasn’t planning to write a “Part 4” story today, but when I found another wedding that took place on today’s date, it did not take me long to connect it to the same photo that has been part of the last three posts.  The connection is with Henry Miesner, the man indicated by … More Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 4

Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 3

November 19, 2018

We have a birthday boy today, and he just so happens to be in the 1905 wedding photograph that has been the focus point of the last two posts.  Not only is he in the photo, but he is the groom.  His name was Johann Dietrich Brueckner.  His bride was Emma Mary Lohmann.  So today, … More Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 3

Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 2

November 18, 2018

Once again, I will begin with the same wedding photograph that was highlighted in yesterday’s post.  This time, I will focus on the two young men that are seated on each side of the bride and groom. The caption to the photo says that these two men were John Dreyer (on the left) and John … More Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 2

Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 1

November 17, 2018

 Today’s post tells the story of a wedding that took place on this day not long after the turn of the 20th century.  However, in order to tell this story, I am going to use the photo of another wedding.  In fact, I will likely write more than one post about the photo shown below.  … More Stories from a Wedding Photo – Part 1

Koenig-Miesner — Gotthilf & Esther

September 29, 2018

This post will be packed with “Farrar names”.  The focus will be on Gotthilf Koenig, who was born on this day in 1898.  So today would have been his 120th birthday.  Gotthilf was the son of Benjamin and Anna (Brueckner) Koenig and was born on September 29, 1898.  He was baptized and confirmed at Salem … More Koenig-Miesner — Gotthilf & Esther

Brueckner Twins – Strassburg Sisters

August 22, 2018

Today’s story had too many little interesting tidbits in it that couldn’t be ignored.  It’s a story I just had to write.  It all started with the birth of Claus Heinrich Brueckner on August 22, 1878.  Actually, it also starts with the birth of Katharina Brueckner on the same date.  These two were twins.  Their … More Brueckner Twins – Strassburg Sisters

A Brueckner Boy’s Bride

August 17, 2017

Ella Fritsche was born on August 17, 1883 in Auerswalde, Germany. In 1891, she arrived in America with her family.  Here is the passenger list for the Oldenburg which arrived in New York City that year. It’s a little confusing that Ella is shown as being 6 years old in 1891.  Ella was the daughter … More A Brueckner Boy’s Bride
