John K. Arnold, Jr Family of Rockport, MA

Since the death of John K Arnold, Jr, on April 7, 1992, I have been interested in producing a family history of the Arnold Family and also my family (the Sveda's). I am now endeavoring to accomplish this task. I aminterested in information concering John's grandmother Jessie Kappeler whose family originally came from Switzerland.Also, Andrew Sveda who was born in Hollohaza, Hungary as well as his parents Andrew Sveda and Mary Kretovics.
I am also seeking information regarding John's maternal grandfather's family.His grandfather was Henry Woessner born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1874.He was married to Wilhelmina "Minnie" Miller.Henry's father's name was Jacob Woessner. He was born in Schwaben in about 1849. His wife Jane was born in Holland.In the U S Census of 1880, besides Henry there are listed his siblings Willie age 9, Meda age 4 and Tillie age 2.
