Hello, I am searching for siblings of my great-grandparents, George Aschenbrenner (b 1850) and Monika Bredl (Bradle) who were born in 1850 and 1855 respectively in Markt Eisenstein in Bohemia, on the Bavarian-Bohemian border. They immigrated to the United States in 1877. George and Monika first settled in Hamburg, Wisconsin and later in Stetsonville, WI. George's parents were Andreas Aschenbrenner (born June 11, 1802 in Markt Eisenstein) and Katharina Artmann (born abt 1808 in Markt Eisenstein). Monika's parents were Michael Bredl (born July 19, 1808 in Markt Eisenstein) and Franziska Rohrbacher (born April 8, 1817 in Panzer, nr. Markt Eisenstein). I suspect siblings or other family members may have immigrated as well, although I have found no confirmation to date. I am sure that the records listing the children of Andreas and Katharina Aschenbrenner, as well as Michael and Franziska Bredl, are in the Pilsen Archives in the Czech Republic. However, these records are difficult! and expensive to come by. Does anyone have this information? The parish records for Markt Eisenstein, available on microfische through the LDS Family History Center, only go up to 1808. Thanks for any assistance! Susan

Terry and Susan: I think you have to determine what is expensive. You can fool around trying to discern microfilmed records in a foreign language, or pay a modest fee and have a professional on site do it, and maybe even offer you more. You seem to have good origin orientation, so the results could progress rapidly.

May be a long shot but there were/are Aschenbrenners in the Dysart, Iowa area. That would be in Tama or Benton Counties. The 1961 Dysart, Iowa telephone directory shows: Karl Aschenbrenner with an RFD address Mrs Rose Aschenbrenner at 506 Jefferson, Dysart address Rose, living in town would be Tama county. Karl, with an RFD address could have been in Tama or Benton Counties as Dysart sits on the county line. Hope this helps but as I said, might be a long shot.
