Freidrich Oertel & Wilhelmina Carolina Bender
My gg grandmother's sister supposedly came to the USA from Baden, Germany.
What I know about her: Wilhelmina Karolina Bender born 4 Jul 1819 in Staufenburg, Baden, Germany. A German church record states she married Friedrich Oertel and that she came to the USA. I don't know if they married in Germany or in the USA. Her sister, who is my ancestor, married and settled first in the Rochester, NY area, and later moved with her husband to Eaton Co, Michigan, and finally they lived in Cherry Co, Nebraska.
I would love to know more about Wilhelmina Karolina and contact any descendants she might have in the US.
