Ferdinand and Gustave Ackermann were brothers born in Gersfeld, Germany. They ran a butcher shop in Adams, Massachusetts. They married two sisters, Lisette and Johanna Gulden in Massachusetts. The sisters were born in Hof, Germany. Lisette and Johanna's mother is Katherine (Wunchel) Gulden Vogler. John Vogler is Katherine's second husband. Arthur was Gustave and Johanna's son. Clara and Anna were Ferdinand and Lisette's daughters. <br />

Please email at aga2428 "at" gmail dot com if you are related to these families. I need more than a little help putting names to faces from a mystery photo album. <br />

Kennard and Sadie Kennedy had three children: <br />
<br />
Eveleen Montana Kennard b. 6 August 1892, Manchester, Delaware, Iowa<br />
Elma Kennard b. circa December 1897, Kinsey, Custer, Montana<br />
Paul Kennedy Kennard b. 22 July 1900, Kinsey, Custer, Montana<br />
<br />
There is a birth record for Eveleen from Iowa. However, Montana did not require the keeping of vital records until 1907 at the earliest. For Paul, I found a newspaper announcement in the Helena Independent on 3 Aug 1900. But, for Elma, the only birth record is the back of this photo. There may be a newspaper announcement as well but the previous information that I had was born in 1897. And 12 months of searching in even a small newspaper is quite a task. <br />

</div><div align="left">135 years ago, J. L. Wilde signed the back of this photo and presumably gave it to Miss Alice L. Warner. She was born in 1850 in Vermont and at some point moved to the Boston area. 1876 was two years before she married Frank B. Kennard in South Framingham, Massachusetts. The above gentleman looks to be in his 20s. He is wearing a double breasted suit and tie that appear to fit well. Perhaps, he was the son of Dr. James Wilde who was born in 1852. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">The "B. W. W." may stand for Boston Water Works. A bit of city directory research may clear up a few questions about this gentleman. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Do you have a photograph of an individual who is not a relative? Have you considered posting it on your blog or DeadFred.com or other photo site?

It may have the first photo that Eveleen sent to her mother of her love, Al. Eveleen met Al at Bozeman College in Montana. They were in the same graduating class of 1915 and were married shortly after they graduated. <br />
<br />
Alfred's parents were Theodore Eberle and Julia Ditt. Theodore was an engineer in the copper mines in Butte, Montana. Eveleen's parents were Frank "F. B." Kennard and Sarah "Sadie" Kennedy. F. B. Kennard was a civil engineer and contractor who helped build the Northern Pacific Railroad in Montana. Later he was a rancher and stock grower. F. B. died in 1900 in Miles City, Montana. Sadie remarried Dan C. Mackay. They ranched near Kinsey, Custer, Montana. The ranch was named K Bar Ranch. After Eveleen and Al were married, Dan and Al ranched together. <br />

I looked through the album and no one looked remotely familiar. Most of the photos were on card stock and measured 2.5" x 4". Those with dates were from the late 1870s. So curiosity got the best of me and I carefully removed every photo. Roughly 70 percent of the photos were taken in Boston and less than 10 percent were marked with a name. Another 20 percent or so of the photos were taken in Burlington, Vermont. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thinking through all of my lines, I tried to think of someone who would have relatives and friends from these areas. The someone that seemed to click the most was Alice L. Warner. She was born on 13 June 1850 in Jericho, Chittenden, Vermont to Dr. Benjamin Y. Warner and Laura Oakes. When I found the photo of Jennie Warner, I was certain that album belonged to Alice Warner. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Kennard Died 110 Years AgoHere are three obituaries for Frank B. Kennard. I have found several more on <em>Genealogybank.com</em>. He died on December 21, 1900 (according to information in his probate file) in Miles City, Montana. he left his wife, Sarah (Sadie) Kennedy, an eight year old daughter, Eveleen, and a five month old son, Paul. Not only did Frank die days before Christmas, but he left Sadie with more debts than assets and contracts that she could not fulfill. Sadie was allowed to keep the homestead near Kinsey, Custer, Montana.<br />
<br />
From the <em>Helena Independent</em>, December 28, 1900:<br />
<br />
F. B. Kennard was found dead in his room at the Miles City hotel by the employee of the house. When discovered the body was lying face downward on the floor and there was indications that showing that he had died during a fit of coughing. While the deceased had been delicate in health for a long time, his death came a shock and surprise to friends and relatives here. Mr. Kennard was a sufferer from chronic bronchitis and had been in town about a month receiving treatment for his trouble. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong> </strong> Miles City, Mont., Dec. 24. - Frank B. Kennard, a pioneer in the Yellowstone valley, was found dead in his hotel room this morning. He came from his ranch for medical treatment. He was formerly a contractor and built large sections of the Northern Pacific Railroad. <br />

<br />
Franklin B. Kennard Expires at Miles City of a Heart Disease.<br />
Special to the Journal.<br />
Miles City, Mont., Dec. 24. - Franklin B. Kennard one of the pioneers in the settlement of the Yellowstone valley, was found dead in his room at the Miles City hotel early this morning. He had come in for treatment from his ranch in Kinzie and though his condition had not improved, his death was wholly unexpected, and was no doubt the result of heart failure.<br />
Mr. Kennard was a contractor in 1880 and did extensive work on the line of Northern Pacific Railroad near Billings. He had been a rancher and stock raiser near this city for the past eight years. He was born in Maine in 1849. He was an active member of the A. O. U. W. and leaves a wife and two children.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377944981538537442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310321578710367570.post-24990392873198351702010-08-03T11:35:00.000-04:002010-08-03T11:35:45.233-04:00Tombstone Tuesday<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>John Dupaquier born June 24, 1803 died June 24, 1864</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>May He Rest in Peace</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mary J.

Frank Brandebourg posted the baptismal information about Ernest Andrew Brandebourg in his family tree :3293960. <br />
<br />
"Ernest's baptismal record reads: "The night of day seven of November (1877), we baptized boy Ernest Marian Brandebourg, son of Le wis, and Catherine Claise, born November, day 7 (1877). Of their own accord, sponsored by Joseph Claise, and Maria Claise, and of his own accord, by Ernest Wastell." The ceremony was performed by Father Dion, of Holy Cross Catholic Church in St. Croix, Indiana. One could assume that Ernest was named for Erne st Wastell, who must have been a close friend of the family, and who may have been Ernest's Godfather at the ceremony. Records indicate that Ernest Wastell may have lived in Lexington KY during the 1850 federal census. Joseph Clai se and Maria Claise were Kate's younger brother and sister."<br />
<br />
Let's clear up a couple of things about the entry above. It is believed that Ernest Wastell was the first cousin of Ernest Brandebourg and the nephew of Louis Brandebourg. Louis Brandebourg was the sister of Victorine Brandebourg Wastell. <br />
<br />
Ernest Wastell was born on 10 January 1857 presumably in Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky to John Bartlett Wastell and Victorine Catharine Zulime Brandebourg. John B. Wastell was found in the Louisville City Directory in 1857 as well as on the Louisville Tax List. Victorine is believed to be the sister to Louis Brandebourg (aka Lewis Brandenburg) who lived in Crawford County, Indiana. John, Victorine and Ernest Wastell were living in Lexington, Fayette, Kentucky in 1860 not 1850. From some family papers, it is believed that a daughter, Stella Wastell, died 5 days prior to the enumeration of the Wastell family in the 1860 census. <br />

Brandebourg - Today's ViewFrom the Indiana Public Lands Collection, John G. Brandebourg purchased the E1/2 NW of Section 36 in Township 3S, Range 1W, Meridian 2, 80 acres. The original purchase was on 10 October 1854. The second 80 acres purchased on the same day was W1/2 NW of Section 36 in Township 3S, 1W Range, Meridian 2. There was a total of 160 acres purchased. <br />
<br />
In 1868 Louis Brandebourg (aka Lewis Brandenburg) purchased 40 acres. Then in 1873, Louis purchased the remaining 120 acres in two transaction - one for 80 acres and one for 40 acres. Today, this land is bound on the west by State Road 66 and Rainforth Rd on the south. <br />
<br />
There is pasture and a creek near State Road 66. As you turn east onto Rainforth Rd, there is a steep hill. It has a cliff and possibly a cave. The current owner has turned this picturesque formation into a business venture.<br />

Wastell<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>PROF. WASTELL DEAD</strong></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Famous Old Dancing Teacher </strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Gives Up the Ghost After a </strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Long Illness.</strong></div><br />
Prof. John B. Wastell, the well known teacher of dancing, died this morning at 11:15 o’clock at the family residence, 2005 West Market street. His demise was not unexpected, for it has been apparent for some weeks past that his days were numbered. About four months ago, after giving a lesson to a number of members of the Louisville Light Infantry, he was taken ill of a complication of disease. Daily he grew worse and the best medical attention failed to relieve him. For the past few days he had been unconscious, experiencing no pain, but slowly dying. <br />
<br />
A few moments before his death he opened his eyes, looking lovingly at his family who were gathered about his bedside and then breathed his last. The funeral arrangements have not been made, but the interment will be at Cave Hill cemetery. <br />
<br />
Prof. Wastell was one of the best known men in Louisville, and everybody will be sorry to learn of his death. He was born in London in 1819, and after receiving a first class education, his parents placed him in Her Majesty’s Theater, where he served a seven years apprenticeship. Then he left the stage and began giving dancing lessons. One of his classes was the Dickens Club, composed of twelve members, of which Charles Dickens was the President. Thackeray also belonged to it.<br />
<br />
The new world offered bright inducements to the young men of the mother country and finally Prof. Wastell came to this country. After teaching in Canada, New York and Chicago a friend persuaded him to come to Louisville. This was thirty-seven years ago and since that time he had constantly been teaching. At a recent exhibition of his classes were ladies and gentlemen whose mothers and fathers he had taught to dance. They had also learned from him and he was ten teaching their children. <br />
<br />
Among his pupils who acquired greatness on the stage were Charlotta Grisi and Tonlona. During Jenny Lind’s career before the public he was frequently called upon to assist at rehearsals and often appeared upon the stage with her himself. In addition to being highly educated in the area of Terpsichore he was also possessed of literary talent and frequently contributed to the daily press. He composed the “Tout le Monde quadrille” which he sent to France and it became very fashionable there. <br />
<br />
He left a wife and three children, Miss Menie E., Ernest C. and Louis W.<br />

What a loooong fun week of researching!! This was not my first trip to the Family History Library but it was the longest trip. I came well prepared. There were lists of documents that needed to be copied. There were films that needed to be checked. And there were the more the difficult problems to RESEARCH. I tried to balance each of my goals with time limits. But, of course, I ran out of time. There is never enough time in SLC.<br />
<br />
One the second evening, my cell phone went off while I was scanning a document. I almost did not answer the call but I took it. The gentleman on the other line identified himself as a US Census worker and he asked if I owned a certain house. I almost fell off my chair. Was he kidding?? Really, a census worker calling me while I am INSIDE the Family History Library. It was a legitimate call but the irony was a bit unnerving. Did this census bureau worker know that I use census data frequently? Did he know that I was in a place dedicated to helping one find one's ancestors? Real life is very strange sometimes.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377944981538537442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310321578710367570.post-37380812605934260072010-06-13T16:22:00.001-04:002010-06-13T16:41:38.258-04:00Put the Sledge Hammer Down! John B. Wastell Has ParentsOh, yes! Finally with lots of help from Gillian Wastell Ford and Howard Wastell, and spectacular research suggestions from Susan Goss Johnston, there is little doubt when and where John B. Wastell was born and who his parents were. After years and years and YEARS of looking, it was online databases that finally helped crack this mystery wide open.<br />
<br />
The person that his descendants knew as John Barton Wastell was born John Bartlett Wastell on 8 March 1820, St. Dunstan, Stepney, Middlesex, London. John's parents were John Wastell and Martha Rebecca Lacey. The elder John was a M.?.O.I Revenue Officer. <br />
<br />
Preliminary research has the following children born to John Wastell and Martha Rebecca Lacey:<br />
<br />
• Charles Wastell, b. 22 Jun 1811, St. Dunstan, Stepney <br />
<br />
<br />
• Ellen Wastell b. 2 Jun 1813, St. Dunstan, Stepney <br />
• Louisa Wastell bapt. 28 May 1815, St. George in the East, Tower Hamlets<br />
<br />
• Harriet Wastell b. 18 Sep 1816, St. Mary, Whitechapel , Tower Hamlets<br />
<br />
• John Bartlett Wastell b. 10 Mar 1820 St. Dunstan, Stepney <br />
• Elizabeth Wastell b. 27 Feb 1824 St. Mary, St. Marylebone Rd, St. Marylebone<br />
<br />
A couple of key pieces of research to solving this mystery, were finding the first marriage record of John Bartlett Wastell and his first son's baptismal record. John Bartlett Wastell married Elizabeth Ann Barenger on 2 Aug 1846, The Holy Trinity Church, St. Margaret, Westminster, Islington. John's occupation was listed as teacher of music. Next, his son's John's baptismal record from 1 Aug 1852, John's occupation is listed as Dancing Master. Both were found on Ancestry.com. <br />
<br />
What is not clear is if John Barton Wastell changed his name from John Bartlett Wastell or if his children or grandchildren recorded it wrong. There are still many unanswered questions about John B. Wastell. At this time, it appears that John left London sometime between 1849 and 1851 and came to either the United States or Canada. His wife, Elizabeth Ann, and son, John, remained in London. <br />
<br />
Subsequent posts will discuss John's famous associates and those implications. Any Charles Dickens or Jenny Lind buffs lurking???Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377944981538537442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310321578710367570.post-35899817830823862502010-04-16T11:20:00.000-04:002010-04-16T11:20:17.676-04:00Short Marriage for Louis Wastell and Flora YoungRandy Seavers at <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/">Genea-Musings</a> mentioned searching <a href="http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/">The Library of Congress Chronicling America</a> historic newspapers. What a great reminder to check for new listings! I found that the<em> Daily Public Ledger</em>, Maysville, KY had been added! I know that Louis Wastell had married a woman who lived in Maysville, KY. Maybe I could find out a bit more about them. <br />
<br />
From previous research, I had found the marriage of Louis W. Wastell and Flora C. Young, on 15 October 1908, in the database, <em>Kentucky Marriage Records, 1852-1914</em> on Ancestry.com. The couple was married in Maysville, Mason, Kentucky at the home of Mr. H. C. Young. According to this record, Louis was 36 years old and a farmer from Louisville, Kentucky. Flora was 26 years old from Flemingsburg, Fleming, Kentucky. <br />
<br />
Records pertaining to Louis W. Wastell, have his birth ranging from 1860 to 1872. Since the 1870 Federal Census indicates that Louis was 4 years old, it is safe to assume that he was born prior to 1870. The 1900 Federal Census indicates that Flora was born in May 1881 so from my calculations, she would have been 27 at the time of the marriage. <br />
<br />
Here is the newspaper clipping from the <em>Daily Public Ledger</em>, Maysville, KY, October 16, 1908:<br />

Mr. Louis W. Wastell, aged, 36, of Louisville, and Miss Flora Young, aged 26, of Flemingsburg, were married at the home of the bride's brother, Mr. L. H. Young, in West Second street, last evening at 5 o'clock, Rev. F. W. Harrop, Pastor of the Third Street M. E. church, officating. <br />
<br />
Prof. Wastell is the popular Director at the Princess Skating Rink, while his bride is a well known trained nurse.<br />
<br />
Their friends join in hearty congratulations and good wishes. <br />
~~~~~~~<br />
This was not the first marriage for Louis Wastell. In 1900, he had been married to Emma for 2 years and was living in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio. I have not yet found their marriage record, a divorce record or death record for Emma. The roller skating reference is interesting. From many other newspaper articles and advertisements, Louis Wastell traveled the region giving skating performances with Louise White who was from Cincinnati, Ohio. Was this a contributing factor to the demise of the subject marriage??? We may never know.<br />

There was no heading and it was buried among other articles. They were married about 24 months. <br />
<br />
Louis and Flora were not living together on the 1910 census. Flora was living with her sister and brother-in-law in Flemingsburg, Fleming, Kentucky and Louis was living in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio and was listed as a lodger.Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377944981538537442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310321578710367570.post-88738346445702936112010-03-17T10:41:00.000-04:002010-03-17T10:41:55.793-04:00Celebrating Women's History Month<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unknown Woman </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Karlsruhe, Baden, Germany</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
