Deschenitz, Bohemia. George died in 1839 in Eisenstrass, Bohemia. Eva died

Margaret WEINFURTER was the daughter of George
WEINFURTER and Margaretha Pscheidt. She came to America at the age of 30
and worked two years at the Rice Hotel in Green Bay, WI. At the age of 33
she married a widower, Joseph SCHNEIDER, who had five children from a previous
marriage. Together Margaret and Joseph SCHNEIDER had three children:
Rose who married Wolfgang SEIDL; Joseph who married Frances KOLORS (I think
