Giese family from Germany, IL and KS
I am looking for the parents of William, Charles and Lena Martha Giese. They were born in Germany, possibly lived in Munich or Essen which is where 2 of Williams children were born. William married Adelia Welkey/Wilkie. He was born 1854, she was born in 1853. They arrived in the US in 1882 and lived in Staunton IL. By 1895 they were living in Leavenworth KS. Their children were: William Charles, Anna Marie, Albert W., Frank, Mary Adelia, Elizabeth, Joseph and John Peter. William Charles and Frank changed their last name to Gieser. William went to CO and may have relatives living in NM and Frank went to IL.
