A Return to the Ahner Enigmas

December 10, 2022

I have been both fascinated and flabbergasted by the same story for several years. The events that happened in the August Friedrich Ahner family keep popping up as I do searches on our German Family Tree. I guess one of the reasons that this family keeps getting my attention is that they come at the … More A Return to the Ahner Enigmas

Frohna Machine Shop – Perryville Parts Guy

October 13, 2022

Oscar Christian Kassel was born on this day 125 years ago. It is his story that I will attempt to tell today. Oscar was the son of Christian and Sulamith (Hopfer) Kassel, born on October 13, 1897. That already puts him a rather large group. Our German Family Tree lists 15 children born to Christian … More Frohna Machine Shop – Perryville Parts Guy

Another Lehrer Lueders

January 27, 2022

Today, you will read the third post that has been published on this blog about a man who had the title of Lehrer Lueders, which means Teacher Lueders. It is also the third Lueders man who can claim to be a descendant of August and Anna (Roth) Lueders of Frohna, who once ran the Lueders … More Another Lehrer Lueders

The Kramer’s – A Breeding Ground for Church Workers

November 19, 2021

The posts on this blog this week have spent a lot of time at Concordia Lutheran Church in Frohna. We end up there again today to tell the story of a couple that was married on this day 130 years ago. Since we discussed a woman by the name of Clara Burfeind just a few … More The Kramer’s – A Breeding Ground for Church Workers

Gustav and Gertrude in Guatrache, Argentina

October 5, 2021

The story I will relate today will demonstrate several documents that are much different than you usually see in the posts I write. That is because the main characters in this story spent much of their lives living outside the United States. I have written several stories on this blog about men who served their … More Gustav and Gertrude in Guatrache, Argentina

Ruehling’s in Sylvan Grove

September 22, 2021

We often call Sylvan Grove, Kansas a suburb of Perry County, Missouri because we find so many folks from here who moved and settled in Sylvan Grove. You will read yet another story about a family that ended up there in today’s post. It all begins with a boy that was born on this day. … More Ruehling’s in Sylvan Grove

The Kramer-Oberndorfer Couple

June 5, 2020

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. Joseph Kramer was born on April 4, 1873, the son of John and Magdalena (Bergt) Kramer.  He was baptized at Concordia Lutheran Church in Frohna, Missouri.  Here is an image of … More The Kramer-Oberndorfer Couple

Sarah Kramer Marries the Teacher

Today would have been the 176th birthday of Sarah Elizabeth Kramer.  She was born on February 9, 1844 in Altenburg, Missouri.  Her parents were Johann Gottlob and Rosine (Sittner) Kramer, but Sarah never got to know her father.  When she was just 7 months old, he died.  The next year, her mother married again.  Her … More Sarah Kramer Marries the Teacher

Where Did You Go, Joe?

October 16, 2019

I will look at a character today whose life is not very well documented.  He disappears from the records after the 1870 census when he was just 11 years old.  Yet despite that fact, he managed to become the main character of a book that has been written.  There are so many questions raised when … More Where Did You Go, Joe?

A Story with So Many Names

September 4, 2019

It is hard to imagine a story that really did not last long could involve so many surnames.  The story today will include the names Jacob, Roediger, Hinkelmann, Kramer, and Burroughs.  Parts of today’s saga were already told in a few previous posts, but I will focus on parts that have yet to be told. … More A Story with So Many Names
