KNOELL, LANGER, SPILLER posted by Audrey Annable Franklin on Saturday, December 30, 2000: LANGER: I am seeking information on Josef/Joseph LANGER b. in Kunvald, Bohemia. Until now I had thought he died in Anselmo, Custer Cty, NE. He was married first to Caroline SPILLER of Kunvald. They had at least two children: Marie was born Sept 10, 1862 in Kunvald. She married Emilian Hazel KNOELL in 1880 in Kunvald or Rokitnitz, Bohemia. They emigrated in about 1892 and settled in Custer Cty NE. Marie had a brother named Franklin b. 1876 in Kunvald who died in 1923 in Hazen Twp, Prairie County AR. Information on site about the 1910 census has Joe 58 as head of family and farmer married to Josephine 56 (who must be a second wife). Children are Frank 32 (must be brother of Marie) and Joe 18. In the cemetery index, I find LANGERs: Edward, Francis, Frank, Gene, Joe, Josef, and Josephine. This family was Catholic. I would really appreciate anything about them. Josef is my GGgrandfather and his daughter, Marie, is my Ggrandmother. Audrey
