Please check this message if you have a William Fredrick Bigler in you line. You may be unaware that this man spent some time in MN.
According to his child's birth certificate, William Fredrick Bigler was born in Germany. I have no birth or death info. on him. He arrived in MN, married on 3/22/1868 in Sibley Co., fathered child Gustav on 3/10/1870, and then promptly disapeared. His wife remarried under her maiden name in 1872.
His wife was born in 1852. At this point I can only assume that William was about the same age, but have no way knowing.
Any leads to finding this man would be greatly appreciated.
