Re: Zurfluhs, WI & WA 1903-1930

Hi Sharon,Well we are second cousins, if your mother was a daughter of Edward Zurfluh.I have a picture of Ed with my father when they were young men.Yes, my grandfather and Edward's father, Anton, came to America with their parents from Switzerland in 1887 and settled in Wisconsin.In about 1902-1905, four brothers and one sister came west to Washington State.Their father, my great grandfather, followed them with his second wife and settled in Tacoma.He was Franz or Frank Zurfluh and he died in 1919 and is buried in the Calvary Cemetery near Lakewood, WA.His first wife and the mother of all their ten children, died in Wisconsin in 1901 and is buried in Nekoosa, Wood Co., WI.After you correspond with your mother, we can exchange a lot of info.You can email me directly and I will give you my snail mail address.
