| Abstract | From the introduction: "Two sets of my 3rd Great Grandparents immigrated to Wisconsin from Hessen-Darmstadt: the Johannes Pfeil family and the George Wambold family, both immigrating in 1843. In July of 1843, 42-year-old widower George Jacob Wambold emigrated from Selzen, Hessen-Darmstadt with his two children, Elizabeth and Henry. In September of 1843, 60-year-old Johannes Pfeil emigrated from Heppenheim (now Gau-Heppenheim), Hessen-Darmstadt with his wife Elisabeth Wahl Pfeil and at least six of their eleven children. Christopher was one of these children." After first settling in the northwest part of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, members of this family eventually moved to the Winona, Minnesota area. Other surnames mentioned within this family history include: Albers, Bauer, Behnke, Eberle, Ebling, Flohr, Freitag, Hassinger, Holzhäuser, Jung, Kessel, Kirsch, Kluge, Koch, Koerble, Kranich, Lauber, Loppnow, Pfeil, Reidenbach, Rottman, Schmidt, Schnieder, Schulteis, Smokey, Tiegs, Tralle, Wahl, Wallrabenstein, Wambold, Wickenbach Wiskow, and Wolter. |
