I have a Michael and Catherine Grossel were godparents for my great
Uncle John Schreiner in Menasha. My greatgrandparents were from the
Hammern, Gruen and Seewiesen area.

Dear friends,
I'm from Brazil and I'm looking for relatives and more about my Grossel's
great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother who came from Bohemia in
1874 they lived in a little town called Hammern at that time , they were
Sudeten-Germans, their names were Johann Grossel and Theresia Grossel.
Grosel or Grossel
Johann: 55 years old, farmer, Hammern, Bohemia, his wife Theresia (53) and
their sons and daughters Theresia (20), Franz (18 ), Ignatz (15), Rosalie
(12), Johann (9), Carl (8 ).
They came from Hammern, Bohemia in 20th September 1874 and arrived in 11th
November 1874 in Brazil. They took the ship in Hamburg. The ship name was
SHAKESPEARE.
Someone told me* *I can find more using this information: Hammern belonged
to the parish Grün / Zelená Lhota. The church-books (Matrikel) exist since
1784, you will find them at the archiv of Pilsen /Plzen.
If someone has more information about that surname or know where I can find
these parish books please contact me,
Thanks.
Best regards.
