Frank THOMAS

Frank THOMAS
1839 - 1915

Frank THOMAS is Marge's Gr Gr Grandfather. He was born Johann Franz Wilhelm THOMAS on 21 Nov 1839 in Louisenthal, Germany (Prussia), a son of Johann Wilhelm THOMAS and Maria Carolina nee SENFT. On 14 October 1858 in Louisenthal, Prussia, Frank married Henriette Wilhelmine Caroline KÖHLER, a daughter of Johann KÖHLER. Wilhelmina died in Prussia. Frank immigrated to the United States with his daughter and son-in-law Joseph and Augusta PETERMANN and lived in the Humphrey, Platte County, Nebraska area. Frank died 22 Dec 1915 and is buried at St. Mary of the Angel's Cemetery which is about 3 miles southeast of Humphrey.

Through another researcher, I learned that the church records for Louisenthal, Prussia, had been microfilmed by the Mormon church. LDS microfilm 544873; Kirchenbuch, 1809-1945 Katholische Kirche. Johanniskirche Stettin; Church records of baptisms, marriages, deaths for Sankt Johannes parish Stettin, Germany, now Szczecin, Poland. Includes Augustwalde, Blumenthal, Hoppenwalde, Luisenthal and Viereck.

This is the pedigree chart of my grandfather Adolph THOMAS. From the microfilmed church records, I was able to track his line back a few more generations. This chart begins with Adolph and works back in time, showing his parents, grandparents, and so on. This chart would also represent the pedigree of each of Adolph's brothers and sisters.
