THE CONNELL FAMILY FROM GERMANY
| My name is Elaine and I am researching my father's family from Germany. My Great Grandfather was WILHELM CONNELL and my Great Grandmother was WILHELMINA JAEGER.Wilhelm was a village official in GRUENHOF, REGENWALDE COUNTY.I would very much appreciate any knowledge of them and whether there were more children than my Grandfather and his brother Paul. My Grandfather was JOHANN WILHELM AUGUST CONNELL, born in Gruenhof, County Regenwalde on July 21, 1856.My Grandmother was ALWINE AUGUSTE WIHLEMINE and was born January 19, 1862.They resided in LEHSENTHIN until they left Germany.I would appreciate information on how and when they made the passage to the United States.They left Germany in 1876 with two children, Richard 3 years and Paul 6 months.They arrived in this country in 1887 and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.JOHANN'S brother PAUL arrived in the United States in 1889. Paul also settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.I would appreciate knowing how he traveled to the United States. I would also appreciate any information on WILHELM JANCKE and EMILIE nee TIETZ.They were my Grandmother's parents and resided in the colony of ZOZENOLD.It is my belief that the JANCKE'S also made the journey to America. | THE CONNELL FAMILY FROM GERMANY Updated September 5, 2000 |
