Here's the birth record of Peter and Angelique's first son, John Peter Sandt. Yes, he was almost 9 months premature, but he survived and emmigrated with his parents and 3 sibs about 1856-57. They eventually settled in LeSauk township, Minnesota (Now, Sartell), where six more sibs were born.
Translating these records, we've become aware of the influence France, Belgium and Germany had/has on Luxembourg. The name "Angelique" is French, "Stoltz" sounds German, and the Mohimonts evidently came from Belgium. Were the SANDTs always from Luxembourg?
Interesting document. I've noticed the same national influences.
ReplyDeleteMy Lenertz ancestors came from Luxembourg to Minnesota as well, I just haven't been as successful crossing the pond just yet.
