This branch of the Austrian Hesch family is descended from Johann Hesch and his wife Marya (Schlinz) Hesch, who came to America from Oberschlagles, Bohemia with three sons: Paul, Mathias, and Anton. +++Johann & Marya settled in Buffalo County, Wisconsin but moved to Pierz, Mn in about 1885. .+++Mathias settled in Waumandee, Wisconsin and moved to Pierz in 1911. +++Anton never married but farmed with his dad in Agram Township, where he died in 1911.+++And Paul, my great grandfather, settled five miles away, in Buckman, Minnesota. He died there in 1900.

How did Annaberg look?

Larry just found this film, from 1938. By then, WWI was over, and WWII was brewing, but the vid gives you a good idea of the area and where the quarry was vis a vis the Church and Monastery.

This video shows the town of Annaberg now (2008)...he shows the church from a distance, then up close. It's a TALL church, built on top of a hill.
