Hi Everyone, My 2 gg grandfathers who immigrated in 1841 were: Rudolph HANSCHE of Racine Augustus PIPER (originally KRUMMPIEPER)of Racine Rudolph married Anna SOERGEL whose family lived in Milwaukee. I would like to know more about this family. And I'd absolutely love to find someone with pictures. We have no pictures of Anna. My great grandfather Ferdinand HILKER of Racine immigrated in 1884 with his father, Philip Adolph HILKER and mother Charlotte STUDE (STUDEY) HILKER - Charlotte and Philip later moved to South Dakota. Carol Pattison

My surnames are Schild and Bargmann. My Schild settled in Plattville, Grant County and the Bargmann's settled in Milwaukee. Family lore says Ernst/Ernest Schild returned to Germany to serve in Hitler's army. Any Bargmann descendant's out there? glenda meyers ==== GERMANS-WI Mailing List ==== Browse the GERMANS-WI-L Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/GERMANS-WI-L/
