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.

Searching Cemeteries

If you're looking for where a relative is buried, there's something online called FIND A GRAVE where family members or volunteers post pics of monuments. It's honestly fun to figure out where someone is buried, and go take a photo of it for someone who can't.

We went to the Stearns History Museum yesterday and got maps of two cemeteries in St Cloud, Minnesota: Calvary (public) and Assumption (Catholic) Cemeteries.
I'm posting them because you can look-up a Minnesota grave on DALBY DATABASE and find the section that person is buried in. IF they're in Calvary or Assumption, you've just scored!


The CALVARY CEMETERY MAP is in three parts: (Click to enlarge)




And ASSUMPTION CEMETERY is all on one messy page:
