In the records of St. Mary's Catholic Church at High Hill. there is a marriage for Theresia Kuntschik (b. March 1849) to Ferdinand Stanzel (b. Oct. 1844). They were married 31 January 1876 in Fayette County. Records of birth for the following children are also at St. Mary's: Theresa Stanzel b. 22 January 1878 Baptismal sponsors were Frank Stanzel and Theresa Blaschke Emilia Stanzel b. 31 March 1879 Frank Stanzel and Theresa Blaschke Frank Stanzel b. 17 July 1881 Frank and Rosina Stanzel Anna Stanzel b. 22 July 1884 John and Theresa Blaschke Maria Stanzel b. 4 April 1888 John and Theresa Blaschke I have been unable to locate this family in the 1880 census, but they are shown in the 1900 census living in Pct. #8, Fayette County, TX, household #139. The listing is as follows: Stanzel, Ferdinand Head 55 married 23 years b. Austria F-Austria M-Austria Theresa wife 51 b. Austria F-Austria M-Austria Emilie dau. 21 Single b. TX F-Austria M-Austria Frank son 18 Single b. TX F-Austria M-Austria Anna dau 15 Single b. TX F-Austria M-Austria Mary dau 12 Single b. TX F-Austria M-Austria Kuntschig, Theresa Aunt 78 Single b. Austria F-Austria M-Austria This Theresia (Kuntschik) Stanzel, wife of Ferdinand, was the daughter of Johann and Veronika (Weiss) Kuntschik. She emigrated from Bremen on 10 Sep 1873 aboard the ship "Strassburg" with her widowed mother, Veronika, and sisters Magdalena, Anna, and Antonia. Does anyone on the list know anything else about this family? When Ferdinand and Theresa died and where they are buried? Marriages of any of the children? I have not been able to find any of them on the 1910 census. Perhaps both parents have died and all children married by that time. Would certainly appreciate hearing from anyone who recognizes these people. Mary Jane Dallas, TX
