I am seeking information about the siblings and parents of Wilhelmina Salzwedel who was born in Prussia in September 1829. She married CC Buchholtz in Prussia about 1846.

I have no indication her parents came to the US. Eight of the twelve children born to Wilhelmina [nee Salzwedel] Buchholtz were born in Prussia between 1848 and about 1864-64; the other four were born in Wisconsin between 1866 and 1870.

CC Buchholtz, husband of Wilhelmina [nee Salzwedel] Buchholtz died in Wisconsin about 1906. In 1907, Wilhelmina moved to Tacoma, Washington to be with her younger sons Albert and Adolph [commonly known as George] who had gone west about 1805. Wilhelmina [nee Salzwedel] Buchholtz died at Tacoma, Washington on April 22, 1913 and is buried at Oakwood Cemetery there. Do you know these Salzwedel, Buchholtz and related families?

Does anyone on this list have experience researching Germans who fled to America because of their involvement with the 1848 Rebellion in Germany? Marilyn in CA.

But the cemetary where the children were buried is still here. Unfortunately it is in the middle of the Sparta Golf Course. As I am sure you are aware, the stones in the cemetary had no names, just numbers. However about 3 to 4 years ago, a women by the name of June Laxton who apparently worked at the center, found a list of the names of the children and they put a monument by the cemetary with each childs name and their number.

Huelster who held the funeral service for Mrs. Rachel Larry. My grandmother was a Hueslter and I've done mountains of research on the Huelster line/s from Fredeburg, Germany. Especially the descendants of Wilhelm Deiner Huelster and Maria Theresia Schulte. There were five brothers who immigrated with their parents from Germany in 1848, all of whom were ministers in the Congregational Church, later the Evangelical United Brethren which became the United Methodist church. Thanks, I'd love to hear from you if you have any shred of information which might be useful to my research.

I would like to locate a Tuphorn grave in the North New Hope Lutheran Cemetery. Henri Tuphorne is supposedly next to Florence Brown in the Big Creek Cemetery, but another Henry Tuphorn may be in the above place. I am assuming (!) this was in Monroe County somewhere near Sparta. Can anyone help? Marilyn in San Diego

Otto eventually moved to Montana and then ended up in Colorado. My Grandmother told me, all of the Noerenbergs work for the railroad, the girls worked in the resteraunt near the station in Sparta, all the children eventually moved to other states, One married and went to Canada, 3 moved west. The Schoens, Julius' step children, stayed in the Sparta area. The Martha you found on the census must have been Wilhelmine's daughter. None of the Schoens/Noerenbergs were named Martha.
