This section of our family arrived at Galveston, Texas by boat from the province of Posen, Prussia or Germany around 1869. One vessel was Bark Iris in 1869, but the others are not known.Their first place of residence was Washington county, TX and these families moved to Malone, TX forming and joining either Salem or St. Peter's Lutheran Church. The four families were: Lentz; Kubitza; Strauch; and Wickleif We have extensive information on Lentz and Strauch, but limited info for Kubitza and Wickleif. All seemed to center around central Texas. I am also researching: Weiser; Werner; and Gottlemann (the maternal side of my family)Weiser and Werner are around Thorndale, TX. Gottlemann was from New York and that connection to family ended during the battle of Bull Run when our great-grandmother was orphaned. She later managed a Lutheran orphanage in Buffalo, NY. but all family connections are lost. | |
