Although I've been researching the Australian Fackler family, I've stumbled across a very interesting document which links the Australian Facklers to those residing in Illinois. Joseph Carl Fackler (b.1869 of Glottertal, Germany) immigrated to Australia with his two brothers A.August and Franz Salesius ("Frank"). Before arriving in Australia, Joseph spent a few years residing in London, England where he married his wife Wilhelmina Catherine Wall (b.1882 of Hoheback, Murtemberg, Germany). Together with his brothers and wife, Joseph immigrated to Victoria Australia where he had four children: Carl Joseph (1902), Hilda Wilhelmina (1905), George William (1910), and Henry August (1915). For some reason, Wilhelmina and Joseph had a falling out and Wilhelmina moved back to Germany with the three youngest children in 1921, becoming officially separated from her husband in 1925. According to his naturalization papers, Joseph's daughter Hilda married in Germany and settled there, whilst her mother Wilhelmina and the two youngest boys migrated from Germany to Illinois around 1924. Their last known residence was listed as Westpark Place, Peoria, Illinois.
At any rate, this is a very interesting family - if anyone is interested in more information or had information pertaining to the descendents of Joseph Fackler's four children, I would be most interested in hearing from you!
Cheers,
Julie
