Descendants of Daniel Brickl
Pedigree Chart - Cecilia Catherine Brickl
Sometime after I had graduated from high school in 1967, my mom took a visit to her neighbor and first cousin, Anna Brickl. Anna lived just down the road with her brother Tony Brickl. They were the children of Anton Joseph and Anna (Lins) Brickl. Neither had married, so they had their parents home farm. Mom knew that Anna had some family history, so mom hand copied Anna’s notes. Mom made a copy for each one of her five children. I didn’t really start my genealogy research until maybe fifteen years later. Mom’s handwritten notes were the first that I got out.

Rev. Frank Brickl talks about his grandfather Daniel Brickl
Years ago Doris Litscher Gasser wrote stories for the Sauk Prairie Star. She would first do a taped interview of many people throughout Sauk County and later write up the article. In 1994 Doris interviewed Rev. Frank Brickl, Joe and Lucille Wankerl along with Edith Alt (In later years Edith married Richard Hochstetter) about the first Bavarian visitors to Plain, WI. This taped interview somehow ended up in the library at Plain, WI while my aunt, Elsie Ruhland Haas, was the librarian. A nephew of Elsie’s, Gary Haas, was able to digitize this tape along with a couple others.
Here is what Rev. Frank Brickl said about his grandfather on the taped recording: “The reason my grandfather Daniel Brickl, with his wife, seven children and his brother came to America was a two-fold one. He had bought a brewery and guest house which is equivalent to a small hotel. The brewery was in the basement, the eating place was on the first floor and the people were kept on the second floor. He had a vineyard, bowling alley and what they called a drinking fountain. Anyhow he over extended himself financially because of a fire and they had to rebuild. He became a smuggler, the equivalent of somebody on the black market, not in drugs but produce, grain, cattle and stuff like that. He went into it in a big way smuggling into Bohemia. He got caught and then auctioned everything off and left to come to America.” The news article can be found at the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society in “People of Sauk Prairie V by Doris Litscher Gasser, September 2000, pages 48 & 49.” Doris Litscher Gasser's story for the Sauk Prairie Star was worded a little differently than the taped the interview.

SIMON KAJETAN BRÜCKL DIARY
In 2003 we visited Clarence W. and Anastasia B. Womack at their home near Highland, WI. We received a transcript of a diary by Simon Kajetan Brückl about his time spent at a school in Amberg (1839-1843) and in Munich (1843-1846). He was ordained a priest in 1848 and died at a very young age of 27 years old.
To open the Simon Kajetan Brückl Diary JUST CLICK HERE Be sure and read Ann’s letter, explaining how she received a copy from Rev. Frank Brickl following one of his trips to Germany. Later Ann transcribed the copy. Simon Kajetan Brückl (1824-1851) was brother of Daniel Brückl (1822-1887). Anastasia Womack’s parents were Arthur & Anastasia (Brickl) Brey and her grandparents were Simon & Barbara Brickl. A chart created by Georg Ederer will help to understand how Simon Kajetan Brückl fits into the family tree. CLICK HERE FOR 1997 CHART See photo above from our visit to Spurgeon Vineyards & Winery in September of 2017. Note: Glen and Mary Spurgeon own and operate Spurgeon Vineyards & Winery near Highland, WI. The winery is on an 80 acre tract that once was part of the homestead of Mary’s parents, Clarence and Anastasia Womack. The Womacks used the land to grow corn on the hilltops while they pastured beef cows on the hillsides.

Above photos taken by Edith Alt Hochstetter in 1984, when she traveled with Rev. Frank Brickl to Waldmünchen, Bavaria, Germany. I believe, Edith may have been the church secretary for Rev. Frank Brickl. In 1986, Rose Ann Blau published a book "Ancestors, Relatives, and Descendants of Frank John Blau and Rose Mary Ruhland." I received these four print outs from Rose Blau in 2001. These photos were black and white in her book. Photo captions are as Rose Ann used in the book.

Family Brückl, nach Bremen, New York, Kreis Wisconsin & Springrün No 7
Following is a note that Phyllis Liegel Dearborn had attached to the board during a town hall display for the OFTHS. These 2 boards were all that was left of a wooden trunk that was found on a junk pile in 1976 on the former Dan Nachreiner farm. Dan's mother was Theresia Brickl. It shows Bremen was the German port from which the Brickl Family left to come to America in 1872. It also mentions the destination to be Spring Green, WI. Photo of trunk boards at left. |
