I have a Charles W. Stange in my ancestry, but the dates don’t quite match up with your information.It could be, however, that my CWS is the father of yours.Based on the dates, that would be more likely.Here’s what I know:In c.1850 Carl W STANGE of Stettin, Germany (Prussia) married Caroline Boettger (or Boettcher) also of Stettin.Caroline was born 6 Feb 1826.I have no birthdate for Carl. In 1857 the couple emigrated to Watertown, Wisconsin.They had children as follows:August H. Stange,Charles W. Stange, Anna Stange,Augusta Stange, Ida Stange,Emma Stange,Friederike Stange.The last one, Friederike, was born in 1851 and she is my great-grandmother.I have no birth dates for the other children, but it would appear that the Charles W. Stange noted above is about a generation older than yours.Anyway, Carl W. Stange and Caroline moved to Racine, WI in 1872 and to Merrill, WI in 1882.He died in 1885 and she died after 1885.If you have any information that would confirm this connection, please let me know.
