ADAM LEISGANG Descendants:I am looking for Leisgang Family information to expand on work done by my cousin Joseph Leisgang of Green Bay, WI.
We know that ADAM LEISGANG and other family members arrived in
NY from Bremen on the Bark "MARIA FRANZISKA" about May 3, 1847. A family named Straub was on the same Passenger List and may be related.
Adam Leisgang and some of the other members of the family moved West to the Milwaukee, WI area and ultimately to the Black Creek, LaCrosse and Seymour, WI areas. Some of the family are believed to have settled in Ohio, possibly the Cincinnatti area.
I have a lot of information on the Computer now and plan to make it available on the Internet. Presumably this will supplement information that others have compiled and your data can supplement what I have.
I also want to develop information on my mother's family which
we believe originate in the Alsace area. The name is REIS, and some of the derivations might be Reiss, Reus and Rice as possibilities. Her mother's name was Heagle. Several generations of both Heagle and Reis families have lived in the Oneida, Osborne and Seymour, WI areas.
I would be very happy to hear from anyone that might have information for me.
Sincerel, NORM LEISGANG
