  	STEITZER: Wendelin m: 13 July 1869 (co. mar. index v.4 p.50) to: Mary Ready From: "Kathy Nitz" Subject: [CZ] STELZER Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 22:42:07 -0600 Hello all My ggrandfather Wendelin Stelzer came to the United States in 1865 via the port of Baltimore. He made his way to Manitowoc, Wisconsin and bought a farm in Taus. Taus is named after Bohmerwald town of the same name (= Domazlice) and Kellnersville according to information from Manitowoc County . My other ggrandfather Wenzel Speta also lived in Manitowoc. He came from Bohemia/Austria in mar of 1890. Does any one know which country this town would have been in during 1865 and how I could contact genealogy information from there? Thanks for your help, Kathy
