Recorded inRecord No 2 Page 492
Doc No 2 Page 176
Note Sources: Pictures of the Graves of I have Jacob,
Gertrude, Rheinhard,
and Carolina (Rheinhard's wife). On Jacob's stone there was a
flag and a medal. I believe he must have fought in the Civil
War at some
point
As far as who came on the ship to America, I researched
this in the
Allen County Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In the books
"Germans to
America" volume 9 page 11 it shows the family.
They came on the ship Rhodes from Havre (France) to New York
arriving 14
December 1854. The passenger list shows:
Seigel, Jacob age 44 male farmer
Gertrude age 39 female farmer
Rheinhard age 16 male farmer
Ferdinand age 9 male child
Catherine age 7 female child
Philipp age 5 male child
Regina age 3 female child
Lorenz age .09 male infant
After all these years I still have not been able to find out
where they
came from in Germany. I will keep trying. If you should find
out, please
let me know and I will do the same. I noticed in
familysearch.org
Neudorf is given for them also. E-Mail from Susan Caloger
dated 10/2803 on
Catherine and her family
So, it appears Regina Brucken is our Jacob's daughter and
Anton Brucken
his son-in-law. This Jacob G. and Mary J. Schebel may have had
a
daughter Regina, but not the one that married Anton Brucken.
