I helped her and she sent me information and I am still trying to get stuff together to send to her.
Hope that helps. The other thing you could do that my mother and I did is write to St.Marys in Westphalia. They were most helpful when i hit a wall.

Steve,
I may be able to help you as Matlida was my 2nd great grand mother.
Matilda and Nicholas had like you said 7 children, Veronica Katherine B.08 Aug 1897 married William Schiedel.
The 2 of them had my grand mother along with 6 other children. My grand mothers name was Mary Jane Scheidel Blake. Grandma just passed away in July.
Mary and Erwin Blake had my father Leo Blake. I must point out that I was adopted by the Haff family hence the name difference.
If you would like to share information I would be glad to do so.

I am looking for information on the family of Herman Joseph Platte and Catherine Peffer of Westphalia, MI. His parents were Joseph Platte and Anna Marie Belke.

Catherine was the daughter of Ludwig Peffer and Catherine (Wieber?). After Ludwig died Catherine married my 3x great grandfather, William Hengesbach. I would like to find out more information about Catherine's parents and her descendants.

Thelen?

2003-08-24 19:36:23Z

Francis,
Could you be related to this line?

I am related to a THELEN line. My g-g-g-grandfather (George MICHELS) married Anna Marie THELEN. Anna
MICHELS (nee THELEN) is buried at St. Martin's Cemetery off Appleton Avenue near Timmerman Airfield in Milwaukee
County. I would like to exchange information with you...

I have checked on George Michels and found that he first purchased land in the Town of Belgium, which is about 8 miles north
of Port Washington. He got the land through a land patent from the United States Bureau of Land Division. He later sold the
land and purchased land in the Thiensville area. In that era it was known as Milwaukee Territory.

I have reason to believe that George Michels emigrated from Luxembourg since his first land purchase was in the town of
Belgium. In this area the first Luxembourgers settled as early as 1844. Also there were other Michels who settled in this area
in 1848...there were other Michels who settled in this area at a later date, but no other George Michels.

Copy of Deed to George Michels:
Grantor: United States of America to
Grantee: George Michels for $100.00
Dated July 15, 1846 Volume 6 page 133
The W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of Section 7-12-22E--cont 80 + or hundredths acres at $1.25 per acre
Receipt No 23,440
=============
Grantor: George Michels and Anna Marie his wife
to Peter Becker on July 15,1846
The W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of Section 7-12-22E cont 80 acres be the same more or less

George and Anna's daughter, Eva MICHELS married Dr. Christian LENGER/LINGER. His family originated in the
Rhineland/Pfalz area..so this could be a connection for you...

I will be at: apetta@netwurx.net until January 6th, after this I am returning to my home in Washington State. My e-mail address
there will be: snokes@tscnet.com

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Susan

Hello. My mom was a Platte from Westphalia and she has a nice family tree which dates back to the
1600's so I am pretty sure I can find your dad in there. Hopefully I can find some birth dates, deceased dates, etc.
Wish me luck.
