Richard Rachuig & Anna Kunkel Family Tree Diagram

I've also drawn a tree diagram for the Richard Henry Rachuig & Anna Marie Kunkel family.

Kunkels

The Kunkel family is linked to the August Wilhelm Rachuig family through his son, Richard Henry Rachuig. His wife was Anna Marie Kunkel, whom he met while living in Olney, Texas.

The image (and text retrieved by the link below) shows Henri Kunkel's request for a US passport, so he could travel back to Posen (I presume) in 1913. Notice the Kunkels are another Posen family that followed the trail from coastal Texas to upper central Texas in the late 1800s.

Christmas Card from the Rich Rachuigs to the Otto Kruegers, Early 1950s

Many thanks to Gail Ferguson for sending me a scan of this Christmas card. Richard & Anna (Kunkel) Rachuig sent it to Otto & Martha (Bernhardt) Krueger, Gail's grandparents sometime in the early 1950s. (That's my best guess.) Rich & Anna lived in the Rio Grande Valley. They mention that their son Hubert and his family (who lived in Michigan) paid them a recent visit.

Richard Henry & Anna Kunkel Rachuig On Their 50th Wedding Anniversary

This picture shows Uncle Rich and Aunt Anna on their 50th anniversary. The date is November 11, 1956. I don't know the location, but I assume it's McAllen, Texas. Pat Walker told me they celebrated their 74th anniversary the year Uncle Rich died. Amazing.
