Many thanks to Norman for
sending in some great family photos -- the family is that of
Robert & Amelia (Kersten) Petko of Tigerton, Fairbanks, Twp.,
Shawano County. If these are families you are
researching,
Norman would love to hear from you! (Robert Petko was a cousin Millie Wood of Tigerton.)
A little bit about the
family... Ernest and Wilhemine (Neumann) Petko immigrated from
Germany and followed Karl Fredrick Neumann and his wife, Katherina Dorthea Rieckmann
to the Tigerton area having removed from the Dale area in
Outagamie County, Wisconsin. Ernest & Wilhelmine would
spend the rest of their days in the Tigerton area, passing
September 14, 1902 & May 9, 1918
respectively.
The marriage entry online
states Robert Ernest Karl PETKO, son of Ernest Petko &
Wilhelmine Neumann married Emelie Mathilde Mary KERSTEN,
daughter of Wilhlem & ? (Fensche) Kersten, on July 2, 1898 in
Shawano County. (Emelie or Amelia)
A few years back, I posted a
query and link to an eBay auction I randomly ran across for
Baptismal and
Confirmation certificates -- one of these was for Elsie Alma
Ida Petko - Tigerton, Shawano Co., Wisconsin... I don't know
who bid/won the certificate -- little did I know that I would
run across this name & family again!
