My ancestor, Peter KELNHOFER born 10 April 1729 in Rittsteig, Bavaria who
married Anna Barbara RICKEL born 17 March 1731/32. Their son, Georg
Michael Kelnhofer born 16 Oct. 1765 in Rittsteig, Bavaria was married to
Eva FRISCH born 27 June 1767. They were married 18 Oct. 1784 at
Deschenitz, Bohemia. George died in 1839 in Eisenstrass, Bohemia. Eva died
in 1849. Eva was the daughter of Johann FRISCH and Margarethe KOLLROSS.
George and Eva had a son Johann George KELNHOFER born 22 Jan 1790 in
Eisenstrass, Bohemia. He Died after 1851. He married Anna Maria LINZMAYER
in Eisenstrass on 24 Nov. 1812. she was the Daughter of Johann LINZMAYER
and Anna LISMEYER. Anna Maria was born 23 Nov. 1776 in Eisenstrass. Both
Johann and Anna died sometime after 1851. Their son Jacob (or Jakob)
KELNHOFER married Barbara KOLLROSS. Barbara was born 10 July 1813. She
died 17 June 1894. Jacob died in 1870 in Eisenstrass, Bohemia. Children of
Jacob and Barbara were: Engelbert born in 1852, who married Katharina RANK
(believed to be the daughter of Franz Xaver RANK) Joseph who married
Margart Weinfurter (my great great grandparents), Alois, Anna who married
Ignatz PSCHEIDT, Barbara and Karl.

Margaret WEINFURTER was the daughter of George WEINFURTER and Barbara
LOBERGER.
She came to America at the age of 30 and worked two years at the Rice Hotel
in Green Bay, WI. At the age of 33 she married a widower, Joseph
SCHNEIDER, who had five children from a previous marriage. Together
Margaret and Joseph SCHNEIDER had three children: Rose who married
Wolfgang SEIDL; Joseph who married Frances KOLORS (I think KOLLROSS) and
Eva who married Joseph SCHOETZ.

Joseph Schneider died, then Margaret married Joseph KELNHOFER and they had
the following children: Anna who married Wesley S. SIGL; Katie who married
Joseph DORNER, Nick who married Katie TREMEL, twins Barbara and Margaret:
Barbara married Joseph BURKART and Margaret married Joseph ASCHENBRENNER.

These families lived in Wisconsin near Green Bay, in Luxemburg, Seymour and
some came to the Wood County, Wisconsin area of Marshfield, Auburndale,
Wisconsin Rapids. I am interested in corresponding with anyone interested
in further research of these families. Patti Laessig at
