Setting Course for Cole Camp

May 17, 2022

You will not be reading a typical blog post today. Normally, I do some family research on people who have some connection to the Lutheran churches of East Perry County. Today, I am going to document a field trip that I made yesterday with my wife, Sandi, and some friends of ours from Minnesota, Rev. … More Setting Course for Cole Camp

Fred Schrader – Brick Layer

May 16, 2022

Frederick William Schrader is today’s birthday boy, but I did not find him in our German Family Tree. It was the zionrootsgenealogy.org website that led me to Fred’s story. Fred’s bride, however, is indeed found in our German Family Tree, but that document does not indicate her marriage. Fred was born on May 16, 1884, … More Fred Schrader – Brick Layer

Brother John’s Girls

May 10, 2022

Back in March of 2020, I wrote a post titled, George’s Girls. That was a story about George Bingenheimer who had 6 children, all girls. Today, I found the story of George’s brother, John, and lo and behold, he had 4 children, and all of them were girls. I am not sure when exactly John … More Brother John’s Girls

Cape Cop and His Rock

May 9, 2022

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, there is a bit of confusion about the birthday of one of the main characters in the story you are about to read. The point of difference is found in the Friedenberg Remembrances book, where it says that Alma Emma Louise Rauh was born on May 8, 1899. Here … More Cape Cop and His Rock

Cemetery Cleaning and Care

May 8, 2022

I got burned again today. Every once in a while, I prepare to write a story, only to find out that the date included in our German Family Tree is incorrect. Today, I thought a birth date for the main character was May 8th, but I just discovered it was actually May 9th. At least … More Cemetery Cleaning and Care

Gus, the Franklin School Janitor

May 6, 2022

Before I get to today’s tale, I want to let you know that the 1950 census can now be found on Ancestry.com. It can be searched just like all the other previous census records. I did not see any announcement from Ancestry.com about this, so I was surprised last night when I noticed a 1950 … More Gus, the Franklin School Janitor

Charles and Agnes – The Schuessler’s

May 4, 2022

The couple highlighted in today’s post were married 120 years ago on this date. The couple was made up of a Schuessler and a Hellwege. Normally, I would think that these two were each from the congregation in Frohna. However, that is not the case. It was one of those marriages between a member of … More Charles and Agnes – The Schuessler’s

A Passel of Frohna Names

May 2, 2022

Because of multiple marriages, today’s post will contain more surnames than most, and they all happen to be names that could be associated with the town of Frohna. By the time you are done reading, you will see references to the names Mueller, Petzoldt, Schilling, Schuessler, Lueders, and Palisch. I am going to begin with … More A Passel of Frohna Names

Jacob and the St. Louis Replica Cabin

April 28, 2022

Today is the 130th anniversary of the wedding of Jacob and Louisa Grebing. This couple spent almost their entire married lives in East Perry County, but late in their lives were in St. Louis at the time of their deaths. During those last years, Jacob was an instrumental character involved in the construction of a … More Jacob and the St. Louis Replica Cabin

Triple Boyse Baptisms

April 25, 2022

It is not often that I base a story on a baptism date, but when 3 young siblings are baptized on the same day, it gets my attention. Not only that, but that baptismal date occurred 125 years ago, making it a special anniversary today. The year was 1897. The village of Wittenberg had become … More Triple Boyse Baptisms
