| I am researching four principal family lines including EVANS, NICKEL, SWENSON and KAEDING (KÄDING). I'm particularly looking for more information on Johann and Mikael's ancestors. Any help would be appreciated. JOHANN KÄDING. Johann was born in Prussia and he married Eva. Johann is the earliest traceable ancestor of the Kaeding lineage to date. Johann was probably born about 1790-1795. MIKAEL KÄDING, SR. Mikael was born in Prussia on 15 May 1814. Mikael's father is Johann Käding, Sr. and his mother is Eva. Mikael married Rosina Muenchow in 1836, at the age of 22, and they continued to live in Prussia for the next 15 years. The KÄDINGs had 7 children born to them in Prussia before they emigrated. Mikael and his family probably emigrated to the United States during the period of 1853-1856. All known members of the family arrived in America during this period. Mikael and his family reached the Princeton, Wisconsin area, probably in 1855. Wilhelmiene's biography indicates that he bought a small farm near Princeton. Although family tradition indicates that the family was settled in Fall Creek by March of 1856 when Mikael, Jr. was born, they may have still been in the Princeton area. Sometime between 1855 and 1864, the Mikael Käding's moved to Fall Creek and settled there. Mikael Käding, Sr. died 26 June 1900 at Lincoln, Wisconsin. He was buried on June 28, 1900 in the Fall Creek Cemetery beside Louise (Ritz) Käding. St. James Trinity Church records in Fall Creek recorded Mikael's death. His death is also recorded with the Registrar of Deeds in the Eau Claire County Court House in Volume 3 of Deaths on page 72. ROSINA MUENCHOW. Rosina was born in Prussia on 11 November 1813 and married Mikael KÄDING, Sr. in 1836. Rosina is probably related to Daniel and Emilia Muenchow. Rosina and Mikael's children are Frederick, Wilhelmiene, Henrietta, Louise, Augusta, Johann, Emalee & Mikael, Jr. After their marriage, Rosina and Mikael lived in Prussia for the next fifteen years. Their first seven children were born while they lived there. The family settled in Fall Creek by the time Mikael, Jr was born in March of 1856. Rosina Muenchow died 23 July 1874 at Fall Creek, Wisconsin. St. Jacob's Lutheran Church records Rosina's death. She is not listed among the names of the Kädings buried in the Fall Creek Cemetery, so it is not known for sure where she is buried. (One source lists her as having been buried at the St. John's Cemetery in Fall Creek.) LOUISE RITZ. Louise was born in Prussia on 15 April 1883. Louise's father is Christoph Ritz and her mother is Rosina. She emigrated to the United States in 1872 with her husband, Adolph (Rick) Radatz and their son, Fred Radatz. After her husband's death, Louise married Mikael. Louise and Mikael Käding, Sr. were married on 19 March 1875 at Lincoln, Wisconsin. The Reverend W. Julius Friedried conducted the ceremony in his home. Henrietta Geske and the minister's wife, Pauline Friedried, served as witnesses to the ceremony. Their marriage is recorded with St. John's Lutheran Church in Fall Creek. It is also recorded with the Registrar of Deeds in the Eau Claire County Court House in Volume 3, Marriages, page 115. Louise Ritz died 4 February 1886 at Fall Creek, Wisconsin of hepatitis and was buried in the St. James Trinity Church cemetery in Fall Creek. Her death certificate was signed by the Reverend Carl Baumbach. It is recorded with the Registrar of Deeds in the Eau Claire County Court House in Volume I of Deaths on page 72. I currently have about 40,000 names linked in my FTM files including most descendants of Mikael and many from the other 3 families that I will share with anyone who is interested. |
