*******************
Elizabeth Heil was born in New Bremen, Ohio on September 3, 1852. Her parents were Charles and Elizabeth Heil. She married Wilhelm Engelage on January 4, 1872. Their first four children, born between 1873 and 1878, carried the family name Engelage and were baptized at St. Paul Church in New Bremen.
THE MYSTERY BEGINS: My grandfather, Oscar, was born in 1881 with the family name Blumhorst. Since there is no question that Wilhelm Engelage and Wilhelm Blumhorst are one and the same person, this means that sometime between 1878 and 1881 Wilhelm changed his name. However, there is no legal change of name on record.
If there are any descendants of Elizabeth Heil who may have any information, fact or even rumor, as to why Wilhelm changed his last name, please use the Edit tab to pass that information along. [Thelma Ratchford]
