1. "Johann Kirschner Family"
I am interested in any information you might
have regarding Johann Kirschner and his family. Johann d. 10-19-1927 buried
in Olmsted. He had two wifes Susanne Kolb d.9-9-1897 and Catherine Schoenborn
d.2-1947 Catherine is buried in Grand Chain. Children of Johann include my wifes
grandfather Paul Conrad Kirschner who married Gabrielle Retry (from France).
I have a c.1923 photo of Gabrielle with a number of other folks reported to be
the Rudolph family from Olmsted? I also have a c.1904/1906 photo of Paul
with what I believe to be a Lutheran Church confirmation class.
Other children of Johann were Otto, Elizabeth, George, Anna Suzanna, Theresa,
Pauline, Regina and John.
If you have information about the above -- please contact me.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Mr. Weninger, I don't want to get your hopes up too much, but I recently interviewed my grandfather on growing up in Pulaski County (mainly about the depression and the flood). At any rate, he did mention the Kirschner Family which lived a few miles from his family's farm. I will print your post and call him this weekend to see if any of the names ring a bell.

3. "Re: Johann Kirschner
Family
According to the book "Pulaski County,
Illinois 1819-1987"...
John Kirschner was the youngest child born to John and Catherine (Kate
Schoenborn) Kirschner in 1908, on a farm about two mile north of Olmsted,
Il. He attended the Olmsted Elementary School in Olmsted, Il. After
finishing there he attended St. Joseph High School in Cairo, Il. After
completing high school, he stayed at home for many years helping his mother
around the farm. For several years he was on the Police Force at DuQuoin, Il.
During the time he was on the police force, through the telephones, he met Aline
(Cobb) Kirschner of Johnston City, Il. Aline was a telephine operator in
Marion, Il. John and Aline were married. They had one child who was
still-born." This is a section of one of the four articles
contributed to the book by a Mrs. Kathleen (Robert) Hard. If you don't
have access to this book or Mrs Hard let me know and I will be glad to copy the
pages and mail them to you.

Scott -- thanks for replying to my inquiry.
I already have a great deal of information about Johann Kirschner -- and mainly
looking for other Kirschner family relatives (unknown to me) who would be
tracing this Kirschner family. Jim

Sharon -- thanks for responding to my inquiry.
I already have a great deal of information about the Kirshner family and was
really interested in seeing if some one else (unknown to me) from the Kirschner
family was also doing research.
You might want to state on your web site that there is a Pulaski County book --
its not available any longer -- on 1250 copies made -- but individuals can order
the book via the Interlibrary web site or from their local library
