records and documents:
additional information:
Hugo Wallschlaeger's genealogical records
say that Barbara was born in "Mandel, Bavaria".
Church and census records also state that she was born in Bavaria.
The Trinity (Milwaukee) church record for her marriage lists
her birthplace as "Mantel" or "Mandel" (hard to read).
A transcription of Immmanuel (Cedarburg) church records lists
her brother's birthplace as "Mantel, Bavaria".
Information from Oskar Kammerer in Mantel confirms that this is
the right village.
Barbara
and her husband were Lutherans, a minority in southern Germany, which
may be part of the reason they came to America. But Mantel had
a thriving Lutheran church.
