Hi, My name is Don Feldbruegge, and my wife is Sandra Reichel. We live in Wisconsin, near Madison. We are both retired. I started researching my wife's family (her paternal side) almost 20 years ago. We had almost no direct family information as her gfather died before she was born, her father and grandmother had both died, 2 aunts in California also dead at this time. To shorten things up, I made pretty good progress. Found the family (Wenzl and Katherina Reichl, and several children) had arrived in Baltimore in 1878, and moved to Chicago shortly thereafter. My wife's gfather was born in June of 1879, and then the father (Wenzl) died in July of 1879. I managed to locate the marriages of the children, and their own children being born, and then subsequent deaths. We have even located some descendants and visited with them in person -- relatives she didn't even know existed. Then I came to 2 stone walls. Number 1, I couldn't locate the village they had come from (Neudorf, Bohemia), due to large number of villages with the same name. Number 2, I could not locate the death or burial of Katherina Reichl (she was born in 1834) no matter what I tried -- I was fairly certain she died between 1905-1910. Having come to a dead-end, I switched to the maternal side of her family. About 6 months ago, one of the stone walls was broken. Completely unexpectedly, we found a person (a Reichl) from the very same Neudorf, Bohemia. We now have church records for all the family members. We also discovered that there were 2 older children that we never knew existed, Margaret (b 1854) and George Reichl (b 1859). It now appears that they had immigrated earlier than the parents and younger children. So what does this have to do with Lake County? About a month or two ago, I discovered that George Reichl had married Katherina Pfannenstill (she was also born in Neudorf, 1864) at St. Mary's church in Fremont Center, Lake County, IL. I have a marriage license and a church record. Unfortunately, I never again could locate George & Katherina Reichl in any records at all, other than the possible birth of a child in 1887, in Cook County. I finally ordered the St. Mary's cemetery records through the Family History Center. It arrived 2 days ago, and there it is! George Reichle, age 30, died 8-27-1889, buried in lot 26. Also in lot 26 is a Georgina Reichl(e), died 8-22-1889, and Katharina Reichle, 1864-1930. I have ordered the St. Mary's church records, but that will be some time in coming. I'm convinced that the death of a father and a child (I think Georgina was likely a child) five days apart would be a newsworthy event, perhaps not in a city like Chicago but certainly in more rural area like Fremont Center. I know there would be much more information in a news article than in the church record. There must be a story in this. A fire? A disease which took both of them? A death followed by father's suicide? What happened? The question I have is, what newspaper would have been covering Fremont Center in 1889? If I know which newspaper, I can order a microfilm of it, or I can even go to the nearest Lake County library that might have it. Thank you for any help at all. Regards, Don Feldbruegge

There is no regular staff at the museum at this time and someone at Jack Benny Center for the Arts will assist you with your interest in donating items to the Waukegan Historical Society. It would be nice if the items could stay in Waukegan. Message Board Post: Hi Barbra, It was the Waukegan Historical Society. I contacted them three times over a 15 yr period and was told they were not interested. These photos as mentioned are from the turn of the century till 1932. Here is a little background. I purchased them from an antique store on North ave in Wuakegan around 1980. The antique dealer had just bought up an old photo studio in Waukegan and I being a photographer also purchased all the photo related things he had. Cameras, negitives, etc. There are around 100 useable glass negitives out of this collection. Most are formal portraits , school portraits a group of about thirty students, numerous shots of houses, some farms shots of animals, barns and families. The most interesting to me was three 8x10 film, not glass, negitives of an air show at the Waukegan airport in 1932. When you blow the images up you can read the licence plates on the cars. So this is how I can indentify the year, In the photos you can see the planes, cars an! d the airport hanger with Waukegan logo on the hanger. In the photos there is what I learned later was a Gyro plane part plane part Helicopter, pretty interesting. As mentioned I did contact the Historical Society in Waukegan my last attempt was about 2 years ago. Never recieved a reply back from an e-mail or a phone call. I was going to sell them on E-bay but never got to it. Right now I am not sure of what I should do with them, I hate to get rid of them on E-bay as I grew up in Waukegan and feel some people in the Waukegan area might be interested in them. I am not sure I want to deal at all with the Historical Soceity again. Any Idea's. Pat

John, Thank you very much. Edward is listed on the Highland park obituary pages. He is an odd one to figure out. He signed everything Edward William Hansen. However, my Aunt tells me his name is Adolph Otto Andrew Hansen. If I had to choose I would say it was William. He was my Great Grandfather but he passed before I was born, and was never spoken about much. Thank you again!
