BREI/BREY

rootbound — 3 Dec 2001 10:21:45 GMT

I am working to try to connect an Iowa line of BREI to the line in Mantowoc Co. I don't know that there is such a connection but the surname is unusual and both groups seem to be from Mecklenburg and of German/Russian descent. I also noticed a large number of BREY listings in same Manitowoc cemeteries with BREI listings and wonder if it is a variant spelling.
I would like to hear from anyone researching BREI or BREY.

POW/MIA Korean War Monitowoc Co., PANOSH

powmiadna — 16 Sep 2008 4:55:07 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Manitowoc County, Wisconsin as his home of record.

Soldier: JAMES ANTHONY PANOSH
Born: 1931
Date of loss: September 7, 1952 MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 36 families from Wisconsin that have not been located. There are one family from Manitowoc County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (78 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Henry C. Wilke Obituary- fuller form- Sept 1951

KenNeumann134 — 24 Dec 2006 6:32:07 GMT

My brother received from the Wis. Historical Society an obituary for Henry C. Wilke who died 3 Sept 1951 at Two Rivers, Manitowoc, WI. This was from the "Two Rivers Reporter," Sept. 6, 1951, Section 2, page 2. But the obituary was fairly brief, and he was the president of the Two Rivers Bank. We suspect there was a later fuller obituary printed in that or some other newspaper. Can anyone help with looking up and providing that obituary? Thank you so much in advance. Actually, any information on Henry, wife Wilhelmine (Minnie) nee Neumann, and the large family to whom he was related would be appreciated.

Looking for Jordan family

I've spent three years looking for traces of William Rudoplh Jordan (9/07/1860-7/15/1943) and his wife May Ann Regelin (9/10/1865-8/05/1903.) I'm not entirely sure if spelling is correct on Mary's maiden name. Their children were Ella, Caroline (Wyss), Edward, Sadie, Karl, Fred, and Arthur. All the information in here is from my great grandma Ella's family bible. Mary died as a result of childbirth complications from Arthur. Karl was killed in World War I.

I have plenty of information on Ella. She ended up in Rock County, Wisconsin with her husband Charles H. Austin. Ella's obituary says she was bron 7/29/1891 in Manitowoc, making no mention of parents or when she went to Rock County.

I went to Manitowoc looking for traces of this family and came up blank. I checked the vital records for deaths and births and got nothing.

Anyone able to help me find this family?

Mystery Death - Olsson

young618 — 25 Apr 2008 2:56:07 GMT

Family story is that Olof Olsson (m to Kjerstin Larsdotter, had 6 children all born in Sweden) came to Manitowoc County in 1850. The family (husband, wife and 5 children) received pps. in Gavle June 10, 1850.

He supposedly died in a logging accident and Kjerstin and her children then came to Iowa. I find her in the 1880 census in Iowa.

I've not been able to establish the family in Wisconsin or confirm his death sometime between 1850 and 1880.

Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Antonie, Karlin families from Ellis Co., KS to Manitowoc Co.

James D Drees — 7 Mar 2000 12:00:00 GMT

In the 1920's the Peter and Caroline Antonie family, the Peter Karlin family, and others left Ellis County, KS and moved to Manitowoc Co. to work in the sugar beet fields. At the time of her father's death (Carl Anton Schmidt at Hays, KS on 31 March 1924) Mrs. Peter Karlin's residence was given as Manitowoc, WI. Peter and Caroline Antonie and children are buried in Manitowoc County (Manitowoc GenWeb index to cemetery transcriptions). As my ancestors and relatives--Drees and Gross--left Manitowoc Co. to move to Ellis Co., KS in 1878, and now I learn that families left Ellis Co. to move to Manitowoc Co., I would like to learn more about these Ellis County "immigrants." Are there any descendants of the Antonie, Karlin and other Ellis Co. families still in Manitowoc Co.? I would love to hear from you.

Frank and Amelia Herman or Herrmann

Venstop — 14 Dec 2007 3:55:41 GMT

I am researching the Frank Herman family. Frank Herman, Hermann or Herrmann was born in 1843 in Baden. He married Amelia Bersching around 1870, possibly in Manitowoc. Amelia Bersching was born Feb 19, 1842 in Herrinwies, Baden, Germany. Besides Frank Herman, Amelia married Mathias Windhauser Feb 9, 1875. I assume Frank Herman died between 1870 and 1875 in the Manitowoc area. Frank Herman and Amelia Bersching had two daughters, Louise Mathilda Herman born March 2, 1869 and Sophia Susan Herman born Aug 12, 1870.
I have located Frank Herman and wife Amelia in the 1870 census for Branch, Manitowoc Rapids, Wisconsin.
I can find no record of Frank Herman's death or burial in Manitowoc.
I have located several Herman families from Baden, Germany, but do know if and how they are related.
I found Amelia Bersching's immigration record. She was apparently single, and the person on the list directly above is Ferdinan Herman, born in 1834.

M&S Baseball 1903

tmkeeps05 — 20 Jun 2007 4:50:07 GMT

I recently acquired the old family photos. One of the photos I have is a formal photo of a baseball team. The letters M&S are on the uniforms with a K on the caps. It is dated May 1903. I am working on the assumption that one of the players is my grandfather Hugo Berg. He would be about 17 in the photo and looks like the approximate age of all the players. I am guessing the K may stand for Kiel as that is where my grandfather was born. Is anyone familiar with this team?

Newspaper in Cooperstown, WI ?

JMO510 — 9 Sep 2005 4:40:35 GMT

Was there a newspaper in the Cooperstown, WI area (Manitowoc Co.) which would possibly have included obituaries or other local news that could have included Franklin township across the county line in Kewaunee county ?

I'm trying to find Michael O'Shea (husband of Johanna) who farmed in Franklin Township, Kewaunee Co. I presume that Michael must have died between May 1868 and about June 1870 when the census was taken.

I have found Michael & Johanna O'Shea (Shea) listed as parents on baptism record for Patrick O'Shea who was born Oct 3, 1866 and baptised at St James Catholic Church in Cooperstown on Oct 23 1866. Baby Patrick apparently also died before the 1870 census, because he is not listed with the other children. Their youngest child, Mary Ann was born Feb 15, 1869.

I've contacted the Diocese of Green Bay and they have checked the records for St James in Coopertown, but there was no death or burial information for Michael.

Any suggestions or information regarding a local newspaper would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Jody

Cooney and O'Dea in Maitowoc WI

DebbieGarbs — 13 Feb 2007 4:39:39 GMT

Looking for information on the O'Dea and Cooney families of Manitowoc. Lawrence Cooney married Ann O'Dea (both b. Ireland) moved to WI around 1850 after stops in OH and possibly PA. Believe Lawrence had brothers Thomas and James also in the area at that time. Ann may have a brother Michael O'Dea, and mother Bridget there as well. Have more info if interested.

Mary Knapp

Stevan A. Resan — 19 Jan 2005 2:44:05 GMT

Harriet J Knapp I believe may have been an adoptive cousin of my wifes great grandmother Ettie (Wright) Blasier/Keating (1868-1923).

Ettie Wright was orphaned in 1873 when her mother Maria M. (Cass) Wright died. Maria's father was Phineas H. Cass a farmer listed in the 1840 Federal Census of Rock County, Wisconsin.

I am not sure who raised Ettie Wright but in her autograph book is a signature " To my daughter M. A. Knapp Clarks Mills Dec 1882", also a calling card "Ettie Knapp" and an autograph " Harriet Silsbee Dec 1884 Janesville cousin". However her Eulogy states that she was raised by a Mary Pettis (possibly a later remarriage).

A History of Rock County states that Harriet J. Knapp was the daughter of D. B. Knapp of Rockford, Manitowoc Co.

Any information on the Knapp or Cass families would be appreciated.

I am doing research mainly on the KASTEN surname from Gibson and Maribel (Cooperstown). Related surnames include KOHN, GAUGER, KRUEGER, STUECK, MUELLER, plus many more in later generations. I am interested in sharing information. All are descendants of Ferdinand Kasten, and his son Fritz Kasten + Lydia Gauger.
