It is
not known whether Odilia Holzman (AKA Odile Holtzmann) and Albert A. Burkard
emmigrated alone or with family members, but Odilia had an aunt and uncle
(Therese and Clement Periolat family) in the Chicago Area and she may have
gone to them initially. They were married in 1860 in Chicago and were living
in Featherstone, Goodhue County, MN by the end of that year. Odilia
was from Minversheim, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, then Germany, and Albert was from
Achren, Baden, Germany. Two of Albert's nephews (parents unknown) also
immigrated to the US: Karl (a baker) and Oskar (an army medic)
Some
of these photos are from a handwritten family record book started by Emma
Burkard Durig and continued by her niece, Odila Hawkins Warren. I have
used the information in the book as a guide for researching this side of
the family. Most facts were very accurate when checked against the record.
Some facts were close, but not quite accurate.
