My wife, Janet, was born in Mower County, MN. Her parents are still residents there. Her paternal ancestral names are Steinbach, Finsterbusch, Fellwock, Lehman, Wollenburg, Wutchke, Wuertz (Würtz), Stahl. Her maternal ancestral names are Beckman, Kuehn, Boelk (Bölk), Wresch. For those of you doing research in Mower County you might want to look into Dodge County, Wisconsin. I have seen a number of names appear in both places. As someone else suggested, please contact and join the Mower County Historical Society. Their holdings are well organized, and the staff was helpful. Anyway, feel free to contact me if any of the above names show up in your family. Peace..... .....Daryl
