It has been a long time since we last shared information and I hope this message this reaches you. I continue to search for information about the "Maria/Mary" who married Franz Xaver "Frank" Schwab about 1850, and who came to St.Nazianz, WI about 1862. The last time we communicated, you provided me much information about the Schwab's but did not have much information about Mary. I have since learned that her maiden name was something like Pflester, Pfister or Fischer, and that she may have been born in Baden on 26 Mar 1824. Also, I have since learned that Frank Schwab came to NY City from Germany in Feb 1844, but it is unknown whether they married in Baden or America. Do you know if there were Pflester's, Pfister's or Fischer's that married with Schwab's in Hofstetten, Baden? Please let me know. Thank you.Tom Lutz
