The Hish family info I am looking for Bolser Hish (Hisch)1832-1880 born in Germany and
died in Vanderburg, IN. He married a Catherine (Aman)1840-1893 on 2/14/1857. Their
children were born in St. Wendel. IN: John 1859-1934, Stephen 1863-1941, Frank 1865-1937,
Mary Catherine (Katie) 1869-1932 and Thersa Rachael 1873-1954.
My line comes from Stephen. I believe the spelling of the last name was changed during
this time period. Stephen married Rosina Hoforth Hish 1863-1945 and their children were
Anna, Elizabeth (Lizzie) and Catherine (Katie)1893-1974. Catherine married John W. Fals
1893-1979 son of Gerhardt and Anna Cunigunda Koester Fals.
My Hish line I can only follow really to Stephen because the spelling of Bolser name could
have been Hisch.
The Fals line goes as follows from Gerhardt: John Fals (St. Wendel) and Elizabeth Tieken,
Jacob Fals 1806-1884 Bavaria and Anna Marie Kuhn 1808-1887 Bavaria. After that I hit a
dead end, because like the Hish surname the spelling of Fals I believe also changed when
they came to America.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
