Kris (Pitterle) Erdman, contributor: Submitting pictures of the Johann (Rosalia Schlinger)
Roffeis family in which he is pictured along with
his adult brothers and sisters. Johann
and Rosalia came here from Austria (Bohemia) around 1865. Also a Vincent (Francesca) Kreuziger family picture in which my grandmother Mary (Kreuziger) Roffeis is pictured
with her adult brothers and parents. Vincent and Francesca also came here from
the same area in Bohemia around the same time. They were some of the early
parishioners and pioneer farmers.
Johan and Rosalia were my
great-grandparents. They were married in 1866 in Landskron,
Bohemia (Austria) and emigrated to Watertown that same year. They became
parishioners on arrival at St. Henry's. John P. was my grandfather.
My mother Margaret (Roffeis) Pitterle was John and
Mary's daughter and married my dad Ervin Pitterle in
July of 1941 at St. Henry's. My husband Bob and I were also married at St.
Henry's on
