Paul: Thank you for the information on Stuckey. I had Magdalena has wife of Jacob but I did not have her maiden name. I have found Stuckey spelled: Stuky, Stuki, Stucki, Stuckey, Stookey, Stooky This is what I have: * John Stuki b.10 Feb 1806 in Baden; d.28 Dec 1879 Sandusky married abt 1886 to Louise Unknown, had 3 children 1- Jacob, b. 1831 in Bavaria; d. unknown married Magdalina Schied and had 3 childred, Barbara b.1854; Catherine b.1860; Joseph b.1875 2- Frank (Francis) b.1833 in Bavaria; d. unknown married Sophia (Sybilla) Drechtler in 1858 in Sandusky 6 children: John, Conrad, Jacob, Maria, Ludwig and George A b.31 Oct 1871 (only birth record I could find) * 3- Capt Henry b.1838 in Baden; d.22 July 1898 in Sandusky married Catherine Bietsch 1 July 1859 and had 3 children * Madeline (Lina) b.16 Jan 1872 in Sandusky, d 2 Dec 1937 in Sandusky, married William R Grathwohl 9 Dec 1901 and had 5 children: Clarence, Emma, *Willard (my father), Alton and Albert. Louisa b.1879 in Sandusky, d.11 May 1933 in Sandusky married Charles Schiefley and had 8 children Henry Jr b.13 Apr 1880 in Sandusky, d.20 Aug 1962 Sandusky married Mary Ann Scheck 21 June 1904 and had 12 children (* indicates my line) Do you have a date and place of death for Jacob and Magdalina Schied Stookey? If it is Sandusky, I can research the Probate Court records and also the obits at the library. I volunteer at the library in the genealogy dept on Saturdays (this Saturday I'm off) so the next time I am scheduled, I will research Linder a little further for you. jb Janis --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by LRBCG.COM, Inc.]
