Am looking for info on my great-great grandparents who were Oswald T. & Verena MODLER. I found them in the 1880 census living in Lodi with their 2 children: Arthur 8 yrs, born in Wis and Laura 6yrs, born in Wis. Oswald was born in Germany abt 1848 (making him 32 in 1880) and was a barber while in Lodi. Verena was born about 1849 (making her 31 in 1880) in Switzerland. They had a border living with them in 1880 who was also a barber, Jacob Empter 18 yrs, born in Wis. By the 1900 census they are on Ninth Street in Milwaukee with 3 additional children for a total of 5...all still at home! The info on all 5 kids from the 1900 census is as follows: Arthur G. age 28 born Jan 1872 Laura age 26 (my great-grandmother who married Wm Wenninger) born March 1874 Ella age 18 born Feb 1882 Alma age 10 born Jan 1890 Irwin age 8 born Dec 1891 By the 1920 census Verena is listed as a widow still living on Ninth Street in Milwaukee with her youngest son, Erwin R. then age 28 yrs. Yes, his name starts with an I in 1880 and an E in 1920. I don't know when or where Oswald & Verena came to America and finally Wis or where they met and married, but Lodi is my best start. As all the children were born in Wis I expect some if not all were born in Lodi. Is it possible for someone on the list to do a look up on this family for me? All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanx, Dale Miller Payne
