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

Thank you John for cleaning up the Reunion page.  Looks much better, and I like the addition of the map.   If I add more, you’ll need to check back and clean it up again.  :)     Shirley

Weather in NE

We are experiencing a very nice warm up – in the 40′s, but it is predicted to be back in the teens this weekend.  Hope that doesn’t mean subzero for the Iowa clan.   When I post off the contributor level, I “Submit for Review” rather than publish.  Does this mean that you don’t have to approve those from the author or editor?
