I am wanting to know where in America my ancestors were, before coming to
Peru, Miami Co. IN. My ancestors Wm. J. KÖNIG (KOENIG) & Bertha KULA
first child W. J. Jr. was born in Peru 1 Aug. 1888. Their next child was
born in St. Louis 27 July 1892. Wm. immigrated from Germany in either
1875 or 1880. Bertha immigrated in 1882. I would like to find their
immigration records to find where in Germany they came from. I would
also like to find a marriage record for them somewhere in America. Are
there tax records in Miami Co where I could see what years they were
actually in Miami Co. IN?? I wasn't able to find any city directories
for Peru in this time frame. Why did they come to Peru?? Were there
other family members in Peru?? My Wm. was a baker by trade. Did he
run a bakery in Peru??
