Birth June 4, 1854 30 28
Note: The N.S. Wendling chronicle lists the birthdate as 02 JUN 1855. Since the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild says that the ship Mercury set sail in 1854 and arrived in the States in January of 1855 when Nicholas was 9 months old, it suggests that Nicholas was born in 1854 rather than 1855. So I went with the 1854 date in Karen Betts' genealogy

Note: Marlene Roddy's genealogy listed his death as occuring on 14 feb 1957 in Glendale, California. Since Marlene didn't have any data on his wife, Mary Jane, and since the Betts genealogy said the Mary Jane died in 1957, I gave the 1957 date to her and kept Karen's 1913 date for Frank.
Death March 14, 1927 (Age 72 years)

They have two children, Maria Agatha and Nicolaus Serephin. The latter will be the ancestor for the Wendling's of Independence, Iowa. The farm exists today and is now in the fourth generation and is owned by James Wendling.


Note:
Introductory letter from Marg Saunders: Alice Mosley Siedelman and Barbara Mosley Peck have been working for over twenty years researching our family's history. A few others have joined with them, but the bulk of the work and time has been theirs. Recently Janet Fries of Bloomington received some very interesting papers and she passed them on to Barb and Alice. These papers are 12½ single spaced, typewritten pages. They were compiled by Abbe Raymond Seeman of Grussenheim, France. This is a part of his ongoing search for the descendants of the villagers of Grussenheim. There was only one problem with these papers. They were written in medieval and modern French and German. We tried, unsuccessfully, to find someone who would translate the papers for us. Being stubborn and naive, I decided to translate the papers myself. I was fully immerged and in eminant danger of being fully submerged, when a good friend came to my rescue. Inga Kremeyer is a well educated lady who speaks German and French. She was raised in Germany and has a good understanding of German-French history. After I had researched each word, and listed all the possible meanings, Inga and I would place ourselves mentally into the historical time frame and then Inga would translate. As she read, I would check the words against my research and sometimes I was able to correlate English words or terms that eluded Inga. There is one word that we were unable to translate: SIGRESTEN. If you know the meaning, please let us know.* I have placed this document in notebook form so that it can be expanded. When we have more information we will share it. At the end of the papers you will find a form that you can use for your own family history sheet. - I have used slash marks (/) to separate my own comments from the main body of the translations. I hope these comments and explanations will clarify the more confused parts of the papers. You will also note that the European method of dating has been used. Example: 29.5.1856, 29th of May, 1856 — day/month/year. If you can add anything to our information about our family, we would like to hear from you. ------ *As we go to the printer's, we have found the meaning of the word "Sigresten". It is of Swiss dialect, a sacristan, an officer in church entrusted with the care of the sacristy, a sexton.
Note: The footnotes in the pdf version of the document refer to the "Corrections to the Translation of the Grussenheim Papers" by Abbe Raymond Seemann. You can find that document in the Mulitmedia Object section below.
