Hi, my husband's great grandfather is Gottlieb Funk 25 August 1859. I am trying to get all the dates for this family,this is what I have. Gottlieb's first wife was Sophia Spies, 21 April 1862 at Alt Elft Bessarabia,Russia, christening 27 April 1862,Death 28 July 1898, Burial 29 July 1898 all the above at Alt Elft.Brothers Fredrick
23 Feb 1883,married Maria Spies 11 Oct 1905, Death 12 June 1960.Gottfried Funk, our tie-in, 25 Oct. 1884, married Christiana (Anna)Schultz 1 Jan. 1911, Death 23 Dec 1968 American Falls ID. Then Minnie, then Gustav, I'm just starting to figure out his dates, I don't have much on him, Birth 1891, but I found a Draft Registration for 1917-18 giving his birth date as 21 Dec 1890 and his location at Fere Chapinoise. Then Sophia must have died and Gollieb must have remarried Ernestine Wolf,looks like the last baby Elizabeth might have to be hers, Birth 16 Mar 1900 Odessa Wash. Married Clyde A. Perkins and that is all I have.I just visited a Minnie B's Funk's grave in American Falls Id. 28 Nov 1906,is she a daughter? I could send a picture if you would like. I'd love to hear from you.Chrisps I believe that Sophia's parents are Martin Spies and Anna Christine Rauser, is that correct
