Wilhelmina Priebe Family Home Page

I am researching the names of PRIEBE, KRENGEL and SCHIRRSCHMIDT of Blue Earth, MN. Wilhelmina PRIEBE, was born December 4, 1853 in Salzdorf, Posen, Prussia, and arrived in the US in 1875 on the ship, Thuringia. She married Wilhelm Ferdnand KRENGEL Sr., who was born March 23, 1830 in Stettin, Pommern, Prussia, Germany. Wilhelm came to America in 1872. They were married July 18, 1877 in Mapleton, Blue Earth, MN. They had 8 children and a step-daughter. The children were: Johann August Julius, Helena Marie, Herman, Adolph Bernhard Martin, Wihelmine Martha Caroline, Dorthea Maria Therisia, Ludwig Friedrich Alvin, Ernest Martin Wilhelm and step-daughter Elizabeth Kreuger.

Helena Marie Krengel, was born May 26, 1879 in Mapleton. She later married Gustav Adolph SCHIRRSCHMIDT on June 10, 1897, in Mapleton. Gustav was born August 2, 1870 in Saxony Germany.

I would appreciate any help in tracing my ancestors, as well as any stories or trivia there might be. I would also be very interested in sharing any information I have.

Hope to hear from you soon!
