Dear Patricia' Believe it or not, your husbands gggrandfather Mathias was the sister of my husband's gggrandmother, Elizabeth Flemming (Flemik)! We have a complete history of the family history and would be happy to send you a copy. The was done by a man named Kevin Fischer and was given to us by one of Jim's aunts. Also Jim has been spending considerable time at the LDS history studying the films for the Waldo area. Elizabeth Flemming married Laurentius Hela ( later Heller) and they two came to the Princeton area with their family. My husband is Jim Sobieski of Berlin, WI. His mother was Florence Zelinske Sobieski and she was the daughter of Steve Zelinske. Steve's parents were John Zelinske and Marianna Hela, daughter of Elizabeth Flemming Hela and Laurentius. Which child of Mathias and Rosalia does your husband descend from? We have the list of fifteen children and their spouses and some information about each branch as well as pictures and other written history. Maybe you already have this?? If not you will be thrilled. There is an account written by Clara Flemming of Watertown SD as told in the Spring of 1988. Her father was Mathais Flemming, Jr.and she recounts the stories he told. He was eight when his family came to America with 11 or 12 children and 3 grandchildren. There is also a story that was published in 1929 in the Correctionville, Iowa newspaper in 1929. It is an account of the life of Mathais and Rosalie in the old country and of the trip to this country in 1855. Cynthia and Jim Sobieski "Patricia R. Price Flemming" wrote: > Posted on: GreenLake Co.
