Surnames: TRAPP SCHNEIDER BUDEL BUTTELL STENGEL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5RB.2ACE/1421 Message Board Post: Seeking the family of Michael Schneider and Clementina Trapp. Their daughter Catherina Schneider, born 8.8.1833, possibly in Baden (or Bayern). Another daughter, Maria, Schneider, born 15.8.1833. Name of town unknown, believed to be Baden, but could be Bayern. Maria and Catherina came to America circa 1853, to New York, married there, and then moved on to Lincoln, Logan County, Illinois. Seek any information on this family. Catharina married Daniel Budel / Buttell from Queidersbach, Rhein-Pfalz, Bayern. Maria married Herman Stengel; both ended up in Lincoln. Does anyone know about the Trapp families that are clustered in certain parts of the Pfalz or Baden? I'm hoping to connect to one of those family, but no connections have been made yet in finding out the birthplace or parents of Clementina Trapp, who would have been born circa 1810. Both sisters lived with their families in Woodbourne/ Ellenville area 1850s/1860s. Parents supposedly came to New York too. Place of death unknown for Michael and Clementina. Thank you. John Schmal
