The Ludwig Felchle and Elizabeth Weingartner family started in Teplitz, Bessarabia which is now in the Ukraine. I think they had 10 children. The two oldest boys have the same name, so I assume that one died as a child and the next born was giving the same name. This left nine children to raise […]
