3. | Michael Friedrich August Köpsel ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Determining the actual date of Michael Friedrich August Köpsel’s emigration to the United States is very difficult. The only other Köpsel (Koepsel or Koebsel) family to travel from Germany to the US in the 1840’s was the family of Carl Koebsel, and that family did have a son August, but he was only 17 years of age in 1846 when they emigrated. Moreover, [US-INS-1855a] indicates that our ‘August Köpsel’ traveled in 1847 rather than 1846. Consequently, the author believes that Michael Friedrich August Köpsel did indeed emigrate in 1847 and on the same ship as his future wife, Carolina Dorothea Ulrica (“Emily”) Budahn. His entry in the ship’s manifest seems to appear on the last line of the second page Michael married Carolina Dorothea Ulrica Budahn about 1851. Carolina (daughter of Christian Heinrich Budahn and Anna Maria Schulz) was born on 9 Jun 1834 in Dannenberg, Wollin Parish, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia; died on 18 Oct 1908 in Kenosha, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, United States; was buried on 20 Oct 1908 in (unknown).

4. | Maria Koepsel ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [US-1880-1t1] is very difficult to read, and the family surname is particularly difficult. However August, Caroline, and Maria appear on lines 48, 49, and 50 respectively.

5. | Frederika Koebsel ![]() Notes: Frederika Koepsel (Koebsel?) only appears once…in the US Federal Census for 1860. Consequently, it is assumed that she passed away before the enumeration of the 1870 census. |
6. | Albert Koepsel ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
|
7. | Augusta Koebsel ![]() Notes: Although Loisa Augusta Koepsel (Koebsel?) is also referred to as “Augusta” in [US-1870-1l], it is assumed that this individual is a different child of August and Caroline, as the age difference is too great. |
8. | ![]() ![]() Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: [US-1870-1l] lists this individual’s first name as “Augusta” but with a birthdate that appoximates the verified birthdate of “Louisa A Koepsel”. Consequently, it is assumed that the “A” stood for “Augusta” and that Louisa as she got older began to prefer Louisa. Louisa married Nicholas Rauls on 23 Dec 1882 in Fond du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. Nicholas (son of Mathias Rauls and Elizabeth Meyer) was born on 13 Oct 1858 in Berry, Dane County, Wisconsin, United States; died on 29 Dec 1942 in Fond du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States; was buried on 2 Jan 1943 in Calvary Cemetery, Fond du Lac, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States.
