RESIDENCES: Volkesfeld, Ahrweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany until 1847 02 04
Charlesburg, Wisconsin after 1847 04
New Holstein, Calumet County, Wisconsin in 1870 Anna is living with her daughter, Margaretha and Carl Seurer. Henry does not appear in the census. 1870
NOTES: Anne, Johann, Heinrich, Margaretha, and Johann (or George?) Achter appear on July 5, 1857 on the Charlotte A. Stamler traveling from Antwerp to New York. Catherine Acther also travelled with them. She was Johann's first wife. Anne was their mother. 22
The obituary of Henry (younger) states that he came to America with 3 brothers and 1 sister. This was most likely an error, they probably meant 3 brothers total. 04
