Posted on: Stearns County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mn/Stearns/11386 Surname: Bach ------------------------- Dear Ken, The information I have is from a book on the Heiders and Keppers family history. This is all the information I have on my great-great grandparents Bernard Bach and Lucy Keppers Bach. The book doesn't give Bernard's date of birth or death. But in the index of the book it states that Bernards father is Nicholas Bach. Further, in the text of the book it states that Lucy Keppers was 18 year when she married Bernard on November 27, 1862 in St. Joseph. The had 5 children; Nothburga, b.1864, died young; Othilia Elizabeth, b.1866; my greatgrandmother Gertrude, b.1868,d.1956; Agnes, b. 1870; and Margaret, no birthdate given. It goes on to tell that Lucy Keppers Bach, having lost her husband, Bernard, was married to Francis Xavier Dolderer at Avon, Minnesota on November 23, 1881. Francis and Lucy went onto have 3 daughters. I'm not sure if this is any help to you, I also am in search of more information on Bernard Bach. Janet Becker
