I tink the rest of dem der Ebels are working, just a guess.
I've had a Google account for a while now, it nice to know I can use it for something more than checking the weather... cold,cold,cold.
Hey Jeff you should put up some of those links to the info on Michael and Joseph Ebel. Here is link to the court records from 1877 when Michael homesteaded 40 acres.http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/wisconsin/wifull.pl?66183883
So, 'splain to me where this plot 'o land is and how this Michael relates to us...
ReplyDeleteI knew of Joseph Ebel, our great grandfather, and I thought he came over from Poland...
Michael is Josephs Dad. Joseph came from Poland with his parents when he was 1 year old. From what I can tell from info Jeff had he (Michael)became a citizen in 1876 and a year later homesteaded 40 acres. Since this land desription is so old I don't know where this hunk of land is but I would assume its the same land Hank was raised on in the Polonia area. I went looking for his tombstone a few years ago in Polonia but couldn't find it. I was told by a historian that the church used to be on hwy J north of hwy 66 but it was moved into Polonia because there were too many taverns around it (imagine that). I'm not sure what they did with the cemetary but I think it was relocated to the Ellis area. I need to do more digging, so to speak.
