Snowardt or Blum or Blenkle, etc.
Did I ask you about what if anything you found out about the reunion page and getting search engines to find it readily if they are searching for Blum, Blenkle, Krug, Pruden, Roebke, Snowardt, Spindler, Thramer, etc. I went back and added all the married names so that if there was a chance of a distant relative doing a search for their name, they might find our information. I don’t think we talked about this again, but if so – forgive my short memory. I’ve Googled some of the names, and unless I have Bollwitt, it doesn’t pull anything up. Shirley
Shirley, Let us see if putting names in the blog area, (here), will start the search engines being able to find this. And, if possible we might get john to update this WordPress software. — Duaine
I will try to add some of the surnames that are in the family tree, knowing well that I won’t get them all. Starting with great great Grandpa Ernst and Grandma Sophie Bollwitt, their children were in order of birth: Wilhelmina (Mrs. Herman Poppen/Charles Lentz); August and Sarah Smith Bollwitt; Sophie (Mrs. Lewis Rueter or Reuter); Johanna (Mrs. Andrew Krug); Charlotta ‘Lottie’ (Mrs. August Blenkle); Ernst and Marie Klusmann Bollwitt; Amelia ‘Mollie’ (Mrs. Ernest Spindler); Dora (Mrs. Frank Roebke); Marie (Mrs. Richard Blum).
August and Sarah Smith Bollwitt (our great grandparents) had the following children in order of birth: Ernest and Sadie Gill Bollwitt; Anna (Mrs. Charles Snowardt); August ‘Gus’ and Gladys Gill Bollwitt; Carl and Millie Tagel Bollwitt; Fred ‘Fritz’ Bollwitt; John and Anna Roesch Bollwitt; Frank and Marcella Emsick Bollwitt; George Bollwitt; Mary Rose Dorothena Bollwitt.
I won’t try to list all the surnames beyond the above, but a couple from each family are Cramer, Young, Scott, Babutzke, Woeppel, Wagman, Pruden, Kaczor, Reiling, Garmann, Hunter, Wederski.
If you are able to search for your surname and come to this blog, please leave us a comment. We would love to have this be an instrument of reaching more descendants of Ernst and Sophie Bollwitt. Shirley
