HISTORY AND MAPS OF THE ANCESTRAL HOMELAND
Waldmünchen, Bavaria, Germany is an area much like our townships or counties in Wisconsin. Present day this area is included in a much larger area of Cham. Within the county or township of Waldmünchen the Brückl family had a business and home in a small town with the same name Waldmünchen. The Ruhland family home was in Glessling, which also was in the same township or county of Waldmünchen.

CASTLE GARDEN
Most of our ancestors arrived in America prior to Ellis Island, which became the
immigration station in 1892. Castle Garden welcomed some eight million immigrants between 1855 and 1890, six million of whom were German or Irish. Below are a couple of stories on Castle Garden. The story on the on the left is taken from research that I compiled from the web. The story on the right is taken from: Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, March 1871, pages 547 to 556. Just click on the below buttons and they will open in a new window.
