Sue has told us that our usual spot at Bishop Park is already taken. So a change in venue has been made. The reunion will be held at Elizabeth Park in Trenton, same date and time.
When entering the park just look for the restrooms on the right side, before you get to the boat ramps, and the main building. They have a pavilion with tables, grills, restrooms, and a playground right there. Plus we will put up signs. Sue and Tom will get there at the crack, and save the spot.

Here is a little bit of Linenfelser history I found on my own. Mom says she has a lot of info but I haven’t had a chance to check it yet so I apologize if I have anything wrong.
Starting out in Östringen, Baden, Germany
Georg b 1771 and Katharina Gramlich b 1774
Johann b 1795 and Anna Maria Hoffman b 1802
Pius b 1825 and Paulina Maelich b 1829
Pius and family arrived 1865? There were already Linenfelser’s from Östringen here in the US, namely Anton Linenfelser along with a number of his immediate family. I do not know how Pius and Anton are related, whether brothers or cousins.
update: Anton’s parents were Friedrick Linenfelser and Margaretha Holziner, Freidrick was a son of Georg and Catharina, so Johann and Anton were cousins. This branch of the family settled in Illinois.
Joseph Linenfelser born 9/1857 Germany married to Louisa Heisler born April 1867 in Michigan
children:
Louisa was born in America but both her parents were born in Germany according to this census form.
Info about Louisa:
Louisa Heisler, age 12 in 1880 census, lived in London, Monroe, MI. Her father Barney (Barnhart) Heisler, born in Baden Germany 1827, mother Bridget Heisler (Brichita Yougs) 1838, siblings: Charles 19, Joseph 17, Daniel 10, Rheinhard 7, Fred 5, John 2. I found some things where Heisler was spelled Husler.
1880 census shows the Pius Linenfelser family down the road from the Heislers. The whole page indictes all the parents and some children were born in Baden Germany.
Daniel Linenfelser b 1892 m Ida Liptow
Here is the 1900 Census London Twp, Monroe Co. MI
Louise died August 8, 1900. Here is a copy of her death certificate.
Here is the Linenfelser Family Reunion website as promised. The reunion is on August 7, 2011 at Bishop Park in Wyandotte, Michigan.
That’s all the info I have at this time.
You can post comments on here to keep in touch. Feel free to send information or pictures to me at terry@linenfelser.info. I would love it if you have pictures from past reunions!
