I posted a query on the BUCK message board back in November 2002 regarding the parents of Frank BUCK (1868 - 1952) of North Wales, Montgomery County, PA. I have found part of the answer. >From Frank's death certificate and US Census information, I have determined Frank's father to be Mathias BUCK, born 1829 or 1830, in Württemburg, Germany. He came to the USA around 1860 and was a carpenter. He married a Sarah D******* (maiden name unreadable), born 1845 in Pennsylvania. In 1870 and 1880, they lived in Gwynedd Township, Montg. Co., PA. Their children were: Amelia, born 1862 George, Born 1864 Charles, born 1866 My Frank, born 1868 Elmer Mathias, born 1870 Clara, born 1875 Gertrude, born 1878 In 1900, Mathias was a widower, living with his daughter, Clara, in North Wales borough, PA. Clara had married a Fredrick HAMM, born 1869 in Germany. In 1910, Mathias was living with his son, Charles, also in North Wales borough. Does this information connect with anyone?
