Hello! Looking for advice on where to turn next... I am trying desperately to find when and where my great grandfather died. It has to be between 1900 and 1922. Name: Franz/Franciscus Hermle Born: 1 March 1866 in Pankota Married: Sophia Gerhardt in Glogowatz, 28 September 1891 He and Sophia had four children between 1892 and 1900. When their oldest child (my grandmother) was very sick in Chicago, IL, Sophia came to the U.S. in January 1922 with their daughter, also named Sophia. They came through Canada and the border crossing information shows that Sophia (my great grandmother) was widowed. Can't find anything on Franz after he and Sophia were married except as the father on each baptism record of their children. I have seen the surname Hermle misspelled many times, and have tried multiple variations. He would have been in his early 50s during WWI. I've even wondered if he went to Germany. Although I have not been able to make the connection, there is a family story that my Hermle family is related to the Hermles of Hermle Clock in Gosheim, Baden Württemberg, Germany. I have traced my Hermle line to Gosheim, too. Just a note that Franz and Sophia had a son named Franz and I have been given information on their son many times. The younger Franz was born in Glogowatz in 1894. And (drum roll, please)... Any chance there is a Familienbuch Glogowatz looking for a good home? :) Thank you for any and all advice!

Hello Eloine: My great grandfather, Jacob Schock, was born in Pankota, and he was married to a lady by the name of Rosalie Hermle, from Pankota. He came to America, and settled and died in Oregon 1927. ( Mount Angel) Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Monday, October 2, 2017 Eloine Bolton via DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES <[email protected]> wrote: Hello!
