I hesitate to answer your post only because I'm very new to this particular family history, but since no one else has answered you, I'll give it a shot.

If I'm not mistaken, the Theodore Graf you refer to would have been related to my husband's Great Grandfather, Franz Graf, who was born in 1815 (although in Rafz, Switzerland).

There are two reasons I suggest this. First, because the Grafs in my husband's family also immigrated to Wisconsin (mid-1860s), ultimately settling both there and in Minnesota. And second, because so many of the same names are found in both your family line and in my husband's. Namely, Johannes/John, Katharina/Catharina/Cathe, Franz/Frank/Francis, Rosa/Rosella, and Theodore. (Other names repeated often in my husband's family lineage are Solomon, Jacob, Henry, Anna, Barbara, Richard, and Edward.)

I could be wrong, of course, which is why I hesitated. Then again, maybe there's a connection. Franz's daughter, Anna Graf, became Anna Graf Arndt, and one of HER daughters became Rosella Arndt Imgrund.

We are Imgrunds.

If anything I said helped, then I'm glad. If not, then at least I wish you the best in your search. I know this geneology stuff can be frustrating to research.
