HI!

I AM RESEARCHING THE JOS. A. VOLLUSE FAMILY. HE CAME TO AMERICA FROM
SWITZERLAND (THE BIG QUESTION IS WHERE IN SWIT.) AND FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR
AND THEN SETTLED IN FREDERICK. HE MARRIED MARIAM HELENA MCKIERMAN(KIERMAN) AT
ST JOSEPH EVANGELICAL ROMAN CATH. CHURCH 8-2-1868. THEY OWNED A STORE THAT
SET ON THE CORNER OF W. 6TH AND BENTZ. I BELIEVE IT WAS A GROCERY STORE. JOS.
AND HIS SON JOS. E. ARE BURIED IN THE CEMETERY OF THE CHURCH, BUT NOT ANY OF
THE CHILDREN NOR HELEN. HIS SON JOS. E. WAS LEFT DEATH FROM SCARLET FEVER AND
ATTENDED THE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB THERE IN FREDERICK.

ANYONE HAVING ANY INFORMATION ON THIS FAMILY PLEASE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
JOS.E. WAS MY GGGGRANFATHER.

THANKINGYOU IN ADVANCE!
