Hi to all, I was wondering if anyone has heard of a Frank MICHELS? Frank may have been a son of my Joseph MICHELS* and Anna Marie Reich/Reith: * Son of Geroge MICHELS and Anna Marie THELEN Soundex for Michels: M242 1900 Wisconsin, Vol 38. ED 82, Sheet 10 line 2 Joseph Michels, white, born in Feb 1851, aged 49, born in Wisconsin Mishicott Town, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin ==== Found in film T623, Roll 1797, the US Federal Census for Wisconsin, Manitowoc County, Town of Mishicott, enumerated on 1 June 1900; Suprvr Distr 3; ED 82, Sheet 10A: MICHELS, Joseph, head of household, white, male, Feb 1851 aged 49 married 21 years, born in Wisconsin, parents born: Germany/Germany, occupation: Farmer, owns-mortgaged-farm Anna, born Sept 1858, aged 41 married 21 years, children born 12, living: 9 born in Wisconsin, parents born Germany/Germany, occupation: Farmer Nicholas, Oct 1879 aged 20, single, born: Wisconsin; parents: WI/WI; occupation: blacksmith John, son, May 1883, aged 19, single, WI/WI/WI, Farm laborer Lizzie, daughter, November 1882, aged 17, single, Housework Andrew, son, March 1885, aged 15, single, at schoo-2 years Mattis, son, January 1887, aged 13, single, at school-9 years Frank, son, December 1888, aged 11, single, at school-9 years Eddie, son, April 1893, aged 7, single, Mary, daughter, April 1897, aged 3, single Peter, son, July 1899, aged 10/12, single ===Buried in Manitowoc County are: McKELVEY------------44 MICHELS-------------44-83-89D I suspect that Joseph moved back to the Waukesha County area--perhaps somewhere on Pioneer Rd (? some thing like that). I also found a few more things on the BRAHM line...not certain if they are related, Found an Albert Brahm in 1920; Anton Brahm aged 46 in 1920; Frank Brahm aged 43 in 1920 Waukesha County; and Adolph Branm, aged 34 in 1920 Census for Milwaukee. Still no leads on my Anna Marie THELEN--or who her parents are. I'm waiting for the microfilms for St. Catherine's and hoping I will find a connection there. Does any of this match with your information? Susan snokes@tscnet.com
