I am trying to find info re: Peter and Catherine (nee Biel) Wittman. I don't know what village they came from in Russia. This is what I do know about them: Peter was born in Russia abt. 1853 & died in Leoti, KS on 3 Apr 1936. He is buried in an unmarked grave in the Marienthal cemetery. Catherine was born in Russia 4 Jul 1855. She died 25 Jul 1924 in Leoti, KS & is also buried in an unmarked grave in the Marienthal cemetery. Her parents were Jakob Biel and Maria Storm. Peter & Catherine came to Victoria, KS on 3 Aug 1876, along with their daughter, Anna (my great-grandmother). Anna was born 19 Apr 1879 in Russia. She married John Schupman (alt. sp. Schuckman) on 24 Sep 1904. She died 25 Nov 1947 in LaCrosse, KS. Peter & Catherine's other children, from what I have gleaned from U.S. Federal Census records, were: Peter, b. abt. 1886 Heinrich, b. 23 Oct 1888 John, b. abt. 1890 Joseph, b. 28 Jul 1892 Maria, b. abt. 1893 Conrad, b. abt. 1895 Katherine, b. abt. 1898 Abraham, b. abt 1899 -- Have a great day :-) Sharon McGinness smcginness1@cox.net
Hello - I have been looking through a book loaned to me by John Braun - and I have found the following:(Note spelling of Wittman) Abraham Witman- b. 5/13/1899 - m. 1/22/1917 - d. 10/1974 in San Pablo, CA father: Peter Witman - mother:Catherine Beil Matilda Wilma 2/17/1917 Albert 9/30/1920 Leander 6/18/1923 I tried to find Peter in the book, but have not found any other reference as of yet. some of the other Wittman's were born in Herzog, Russia. Death records in San Pablo might have some information on where his parents come from - sometimes it does. ( I am still loking in this book - it is quite thick.) Keven Rupp would probably have information on this line - hopefully. krupp@ruraltel.net Thelam Mills On 8/10/07, smcginness1@cox.net <smcginness1@cox.net> wrote: > > I am trying to find info re: Peter and Catherine (nee Biel) Wittman.
