These are the factual notes as taken from old church records in Windschlaeg, Baden, Germany. Carl Anton FISCHER married Justina SCHAUB on Apr 24, 1845. It was his second marriage. His first wife, Catharina ARMBRUSTER, died after giving birth to two children, Simon and Rosalia, both who died young. Carl and Justina had four children: Catherina (who died young), Creszentia, Carolina, and Andreas. Andreas immigrated alone to Ste. Genevieve, Missouri in 1881 and married Caroline JOKERST nee KETTERER. Caroline's first husband, William JOKERST, had died after having 6 children through Caroline. Caroline went on to have three more children through Andreas - Charles, Justina (Eustenia), and Victoria (Dora). Carl Anton FISCHER was the son of Andreas FISCHER and Maria Anna BROHS. He had 12 siblings/step-siblings. His father, Andreas, had been married before to Anna Maria SEIGEL, and after Maria Anna BROHS, to Ludgardis BIRK. Andreas FISCHER was the son of Francis Anton FISCHER and Maria Magdalena OGGENFUSS (Ockenfuess). Francis Anton was the son of Joannis FISCHER and Anna Maria GOSS. Of his at least 8 siblings, there was a brother, Joannes Martin, who married Magdalena EGGS. There is a large descendant line in Windschlaeg from this son as well. The other siblings of Francis Anton and Joannes Martin either died young or left no records of marriages in Windschlaeg.
