The Walter Rachuig Trophy

Some of you may not know that Walter Alfred Rachuig, Sr. (son of Selma Schulz & Julius Rachuig) was instrumental in introducing 10-pin bowling to Australia.  He helped organize leagues in the early 1960s.  The bowling association appreciated his work & named their championship trophy after him.  


Julius Herman Rachuig & Selma Martha Schulz Family Tree Diagram

I've posted a tree diagram for the Julius Herman Rachuig & Selma Martha Schulz family.

An aside: This is my (Chuck Kelly's) line in the family tree.  Julius & Selma are my great-grandparents.  Their youngest son, Herbert Albert Rachuig, was my maternal grandfather.  His younger daughter, Sally Ann Rachuig Kelly, is my mother.

Sisters-in-law Visit Selma Schulz Rachuig


Lanelle Schminke Sonntag provided this photo at the 2009 reunion. On the left is Selma Schulz Rachuig (wife of Julius Herman Rachuig). She looks very pale, so this picture may have been taken toward the end of her life when she was ill with tuberculosis.

The women next to her are
Johanna Rachuig Lang, Anna Marie Kunkel Rachuig (Rich Rachuig's wife), Lydia Martha Rachuig Lange Larson, and Helga Westley Rachuig (Gustoph Adolph Rachuig's wife).


The location may be Selma's home on Hackberry in Clifton, Texas.
