Researching: ROESLER, WERNER
Franz Roesler and his wife Agnes Werner Roesler (Rösler) emigrated to La Crosse Wisconsin in 1856, 1857 from Wolfersdorf, Bohemia which is now Volfartice in the CR. I have a copy of Agnes Werner Roesler's Austrian Royal and Imperial Passport. (Both in Germany and with an English translation). Most of it was able to be translated. It gives her year of birth as 1819. This passport was given in the name of His Austrian-Imperial, Royal and Apostolic majesty to Hungary and Bohemian Etc. Etc. at Prague. Frank Roesler came to La Crosse County in 1856 according to his obituary. Children: Franz Roesler- 1844, Josef Roesler - 1846, Eduard Roesler - 1851, M. Anna Roesler 1853, Adolf Roesler - 1856. These were children of the passport owner born in Wolfersdorf. If this family connects to your Roesler or Werner families please contact me. Visit the Ancestry.com Roesler Family Facts Database.
