Gross families of DC & TX
I have two Gross families I'm researching.It seems that Wilhelmina Gross m Charles Altman in 1854 in DC. Her brothers were probably Henry Ernst Gross(I have picture)m Elizbeth A. Schmidt in 1862 in DC, and George Gross m Elizabeth Marth in 1869. All marriages took place at the Concordia E. Lutheran Church in DC, which is now a United Methodist & United Church of Christ with still a Sunday service in German.
A son of Charles Altman & Wilhelmina Gross, Wm. J. Altman left DC in 1878 and went to TX, where in 1879 he married Wilhelmina Magdalena "Lena" Gross, daug of Frederick Gross b 1814(of Werdorf, Germany)and Anna M. Gambel.Frederick & Anna Gross came to TX in 1848 arriving in Galveston, TX, along with Anna's parents & three brothers and a sister.
I do not know how, but I believe the TX Gross family is related to the DC Gross family.
From Baptism records of Concordia E. Luth.Church in DC, I know that Henry E. Gross had sons:Henry Grant Gross b Jul 20, 1865 DC and Charles Ernst Groos b Dec 1, 1866 DC.George Gross had: Louisa E. Gross b Jul 26, 1873 DC.
Can anyone help.God bless.
