great story, my grandfather and grandmother immigrated from Germany, too, I know I have papers from their immigration somewhere, need to find them. I love how you included original mementoes
Super cool story, as well as a treasure to have a photo & to know of a legacy that far back! Have Fun at the upcoming reunion! You'll have to be sure to dedicate an entire album toward the event! ;)
Mary Katherine (Daldrop) Hoelscher Born November 16, 1794 Wife of Anton Hoelscher, Sr. Mother of Elizabeth, Anton, Joe, William and Ben
This story begins in 1846 when Anton Hoelscher, Sr. along with his wife and children left Germany, on a voyage to America. Records show that the couple had ten children originally, however only five were living at the time of the journey. The couples oldest child, Elizabeth immigrated to America some four years later with her Husband, Theodore Buxkamper, and children. Elizabeth was my great-great-great grandmother. (if I counted correctly). In the corner is a small copy of Anton Hoelscher, Sr. 's petition of naturalizaion dated December 7, 1852.
Our Family is the largest German family recorded in Texas. There will be a reunion in 2012 in Columbus Texas. Picture in the small locket is also a family member (hard to see). Thanks for stopping by
