I am looking for information on the wife and children of Peter Joseph Schmitz' first marriage. From his obituary, it indicates that he had a wife who died during the Indian uprising. In 1864 he married Henirette Buggert. Peter Joseph was born on August 25, 1824. I am from the Herniette Buggert line from her first husband Freidrich William Ludwig Buggert who also died in the Indian Uprising. However, I would like to find out more of her second husbands family. sincerely, Pamela Kebis

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HGB.2ACE/77.1 Message Board Post: I am researching the Vogelpohl name also. My father-in-law came from New Ulm, MN. He and his brother and their father, Herman, Ernest, and Herman, were organ builders and tuners. There are Vogelpohl organs out there somewhere! If you are interested in exchanging info, please contact me. We can take it from there. I have many names, no info. I planned to write to the Brown Co. Historical Society, to see what they had. Right now, I haven't gone too far with the Vogelpohl line, since I have been concentrating on my mother and dads descendants.

Does anyone know where I could get a picture of the Kiesling house? Is there a good picture on the web? I am putting together a book for my relatives for Christmas and would love to have a good picture of the family home. Thanks, Jodi
