Dear Reader: Do you think you are related to the individuals listed in this post? Please drop me a note! I love hearing from cousins and others researching my family!
After my Surname Saturday post this weekend about my WILD roots, I did some more digging and found gravesite photos and information for Fridolin Wild, his wife and her parents in San Antonio’s City Cemetery. I’m really excited about these finds, as they provide a lot of information. The records on the Find A Grave web site link to children and siblings as well. I was sure to leave a thank-you note for the photographer.
24. Fridolin Wild
50. Julius Hoyer (Lina’s father)
51. Sophie Hoyer (Lina’s mother)
The latter two are especially rich in information about where the Hoyer’s came from in Europe. I realize that this all needs to be verified through other records, but I’m excited by this find nonetheless. I’m beginning to think a trip to San Antonio someday is in order.
What a wonderful find! I like the way you linked to Find a Grave. We have family in San Antonio and travel there a couple times a year. If there is a cemetery you would like me to dig around in let me know :)
Thanks so much! I’ll be sure to let you know, but I’m hoping to make a trip there myself someday soon.
