Neil Bogner--Eleanor Johnson Home Page

Bogner Family-The Bogner Family originated in Önsbach, Germany. The first family member to move to the USA was Ludwig Bogner. When he came to the US he traveled with the Kasimir Weber family. In 1858 he married Kasimir Weber's daughter, Gertrude. By 1859 they had relocated to Illinois. After 7 years near Kickapoo, IL they resettled near Henry, IL.
Johnson Family-The Johnson family are the descendants of John August Johnson who was born in Granna, Jönköping, Sweden and his wife, Louisa Kransdotter, who was born in Adelöv, Jönköping, Sweden. The maternal side of the family are from John Erik Erickson who was born in St. Åby, Östergötland, Sweden and Emma Christina Nelson who was born in Åmål, Älvsborg, Sweden. They settled near Paxton, IL

The family connection that is missing is the Seichter family which came from Miensterberg, Silesia, Germany(Now in Poland). Edward August Seichter accompanied his father, August, and, it is believed several brothers, when they came to USA. Also with them was his future wife Caroline Wagner from the same location.

Any assistance will be appreciated.
