Mathias Schandel/Barbara Penning
Looking for information on the family and parentage of Mathias Schandel b. 1809 presumably in Luxembourg. He died in Lintgen, Mersch, Lux. Wife was Barbara Penning. Known children: Elizabeth, Margaret, Maria Johanna and Anna. My great grandmother was Maria Johanna who married Johann Peter Kayser. They came to the US with their 3 daughters. He died in Atchison Co., KS. She died in Wilson Co., KS.
Anna also came to the United States. She married John Funk, Sr. There is a picture of this family which has a boy who appears to be somewhat younger than the daughters. I believe there may be a son in this family as well, but know nothing of him. Elizabeth came to the US and married a Wagner. Margaret stayed in Lux. and married a Herr. We have a couple of letters from her to my grandmother. Thanks for information.
