I am researching the SPLITTER family from La Crosse, Wisconsin. Wilhelm (William) Splitter Senior was born in March 13, 1805 at Mecklenburg Schwerin Germany. He married Sophia Heinke who was born March 22, 1809 in Hagenow, Germany. They had 8 childern. Two older sons were teachers but the names are unknown. In addition, they had two older daughters names unknown who married Von Sien and Buck (Book).The four childern that came to the United States were Mary Catharine born July l7, 1831; Wilhelm (William) Junior Born December 18, 1833; Caroline born August 29, 1837; Francis Splitter born May 28 1845.
