Notes for ANDREAS LITTEL:
Born in France but at the age of 6 immigrated with his brothers, Michael, George, and Joseph in1829 following the death of their mother. The story goes that on her death, the Priest had to come administer the last rites dressed as a swine herder. The four brothers and their father were tired of being persecuted in France for their religious beliefs (Catholic) and so decided to dispose of their belongings and walk to Germany to make a new life. They settled near Holzhof, Germany near Regensburg and bought and old castle from a nobleman which they dismantled and turned into four homes. Their father (name unknown) remarried in Germany and they had at least one half-brother named Leonard. When Andreas was 16, he decided to go off and make his own way in the world and learned to build bridges. He travelled all over Germany and Europe building bridges and eventually met his love, Katherine Aschenbrenner on his travels. Katherine came from a wealthy family and her father owned a brewery and hotel (Gasthaus) in Regensburg. Her parents were not happy about her affection for Andreas but love had its way and they were married. Her family then disowned her for marrying "that laborer". Katherine had a brother who also owned a winery and hotel near Regensburg who would secretly help Katherine and her growing family.
Immigrated to the US with wife, Catherine, Daughter Theresa (age 16), and sons Joseph (age 9) and Charles (age 5)aboard the ship "Bremen" sailing from Bremen, Germany.  Landed in New York on September 15, 1871. Settled in Roxbury, Dane County, Wisconsin where Catherine died in 1879. Andreas then moved to Zell, SD (first to Exline).
