Looking for any information concerning: Ernest WENDT b: 25 January 1844 Schleswig Holstein d: 1 February 1916 Lancaster County, Nebraska and wife Louisa (Kate) Pieper WENDT b: 8 January 1826 Schleswig Holstein d: 28 May 1906 Lancaster County, Nebraska. Louisa (maiden name ?Gorse/Gocse?) was married to ??W.F. (Wilhelm Fredrick??) or maybe H.F. PIEPER and they had children all born in Schleswig-Holstein (unknown town). Assume he died in Germany and Lousia (Kate) married Ernest Wendt there. Ferdinand b: 18 November 1854 d: 18 November 1909 Lincoln, Nebraska; Charles PIEPER b: 8 Dec 1859, d: 17 July 1912 in Omaha, Nebraska (My grandfather); Albert PIEPER b: 26 February 1865, d. 8 Dec 1944. There was also a daughter named Anna or Hannah dob unknown. Charles and Ferdinand appear in the United States on 1880 census in Nebraska. Have not found them on a passenger list definitely, but possible Charles arrived in 1880 on the Frisia from Hamburg. Ernest, Louisa (Kate), Albert, and Anna show up in 1885 on the Nebraska State census. Albert used the name WENDT until birth of his first child when he changed back to PIEPER. Thank you for any help. I have no other clues yet. Susan Leighton
