DURRSCHMIDT
|
.My great great grandfather, Christian Wilhelm Durrschmidt, was born and lived his life in Markneukirchen, Saxony, Germany. This small town is the heart of the production of musical instruments in Germany, and the guild books from Markneukirchen show quite a few Durrschmidts to be makers of violins. Christian's 5th child, daugher August Mathilde, married Bernhardt Gustav Kaempffe, and they had 3 children together. When Mathilde died shortly after the birth of her 3rd child, Bernhardt married her younger sister, Agnes Rosalie. Bernhardt and Agnes Rosalie immigrated to the United States in 1881, where they settled, and raised their family. |
