• Notes

  Jacob Kneifl. He had six children: Thomas, who stayed in Wisconsin; Martin, who came to Nebraska; Philip, who also came to Nebraska and is my great-grandfather; Frank, who stayed in Wisconsin; Agnes, who came with her husband Caspar Schieffer, to Nebraska; and Maria who must have died in Wisconsin. The family is listed in a book of Czech Immigrants as coming to America in 1856. Apparently two of the boys (either Martin and Thomas or Martin and Philip) had come to the U.S. earlier, but must have gone back for the family. Martin came over in 1854, separately from the rest of the fmily. They actually came from Baden, Austria, but the roots of the family were probably in Czechoslovakia, not too far from Baden. The family settled first in Wisconsin, near LaCrosse, but then some of the families migrated to Newcastle, Nebraska in the 1860's and 1870's. SOURCE: Judy Kneifl-Schrader, Lincoln, Nebraska.
