Now we are getting somewhere! The Grapengieser family (Frederick) lived in Wauwatosa next door to or across the street from my family in 1870 and most probably before. So it seems likely that the Kulls lived with the Grapengiesers. Do you know what church they belonged to when Julia was born? Where she was baptized? My great grandparents belonged early to Friedens Ev. Church in Wauwatosa but were married in Feb., 1870 at the Trinity Ev. Church in Brookfield, before the church building was erected -- I think services were in what was or became the Hatch School.
Was Julia the child of Fred and sister of Charley? If so, I do have contact with that family... in any case, too unusual a name and too small a place -- Wauwatosa -- to be a coincidence.
I am very interested in finding the 1866 Grapengieser family church -- it might help me find additional records for my great grandfather, Heinrich Johann Ziemer, who seems to have arrived in the Milwaukee area in 1865 but about whom I have no record til about five years later.
