I don't know anything about Anna except she was born April 19, 1880. I know there was a family in Garden City, KS named Paul Schupman and I always knew we were distantly related through the Wittmans but never really knew how until now. So I will have to do a little more work on that side of it. My mom is still very sharp on all these folks even though she is nearly 90 and I'll visit with her tomorrow and see what I can find out about the Schupman connection. I can't send the pictures tonight becaue I can't get my scanner to work but my son will take a look at it tomorrow and I'll try tomorrow night. My thoughts on where Peter Wittman(born 1855 - I'll put his birth year in to seperate him from all the other Peters) and Catharina Biel are from, come in part from the 1857 census from Liebenthal Russia which we have thanks to Kevin, Tony Leiker and Tony's cousin Pavel Leus. Both the Biel and Wittman families were living there when the census was taken. Katharine (all spellings from book) was born to Peter Beil and Elisabeth in 1854 in Graf. Peter was born to Heinrich and Elisabeth in 1855 in Rohleder. Since Liebenthal was a daughter colony founded about 1857, both families probably moved there shortly after the children were born. According to "Liebental, Russia a Genealogy of the Village" compiled by Tony Lieker, Katharine Biel and Peter Wittman were married there July 15, 1875. I don't know if they were still living in Liebenthal when they immigrated or not. My interest is peaked now and I can see I will be pulling out the old files and doing a little more on this family. Kevin, my question on this family - did they really come on the Mosel. If so are they the ones Rev. Laing referred to. If not when and how did they come. That's enough for tonight.

Hi Paula, Did you look through the PDF I just sent you on the Wittmann family? Johann Wittmann born 1835 came to the US on the S.S. Mosel on July 29, 1876. Look though the PDF I sent and I have it marked which children came on that ship. In the book, Migration from the Russian Empire Vol. 1 Jan 1975 - Sept 1882 they list the families of Wittmann. Johannes Mother, Catherine born 1814 also came to the U.S with this family. The book also lists a Peter age 37, wife Catharine age 35 and children Anna age 8, and Joseph age 1. Peter was the brother to Johannes. Hope this helps. Look through the attachment I sent you and if you have any questions please let me know.

Do any of you have a Marie Elisabeth Wittman, born 31 Aug 1854? She married Johann Friedrich Keil. If you do, she is my Great Grand Aunt, and I know nothing about her, other than what I just stated. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Suzanne Kevin Rupp <krupp@ruraltel.net> wrote: Hi Paula, Did you look through the PDF I just sent you on the Wittmann family?
