HOW DID THEY END UP IN WISCONSIN ANY WAY?
|
|
Hi, my name is Kristine Brewer and this is my story as it was told to
me by my Great Aunt Ida Repka when I was about 18
years old. One day I asked her to share with me what she could remember
about how her parents came to this county. She said they came from
Prussia, Germany in the year 1885 and the surname was Rzepka.
During the journey to America, her mother was pregnant with her sister Anna. We
know Anna was born in July of 1885, so their voyage must have taken
place sometime between January and July, in the year 1885. Ida told me
that they came to Sauk County, Wisconsin because Thomas' sister,
Susanna Repka Hanusa, was already living in Leland with her husband
Carl. Since this conversation, many years ago, I have gathered
additional information about that voyage and this couple. We now know
that they departed Germany from Hamburg on April 25, 1885 on the
ship called Weiland and entered the port of New York on May 6, 1885. Check out Thomas
and Theresa's family tree link to learn more.
I am sure there are many more stories to be told. I invite you to
send them to me email
and they will be shared in the pages of this family web site.
