Georg Siegl, son of Georg Adam Sigl and Barbara Müllbauer, was * born on Tuesday, 06 September 1785 in Vollmau (Folmava), District of Taus, Bohemia.¹

     Georg Adam Sigl, son of Johann Adam Sigl and Katharina (maiden name unknown), was born say 1743 at possibly in Vollmau, Bohemia, Austria. On Tuesday, 15 October 1765, Georg Adam oo married Barbara Müllbauer, age 20, at Maria Himmelfahrt Catholic Church, Furth im Wald.^1,2
     
Research note: Reviewing the information surrounding Vollmau, we know per tax records that the Siegl/Sigl family name was not located in Vollmau in 1727. We also know that Georg Adam was not born in Furth Im Wald. A conclusion might be that Johann Adam moved the family two km east to Vollmau probably around 1730 to 1735. In 1873 the family lived at Hausnummer 14, Vollmau (Folmava).

In an Austrian land transfer document issued on 9 January 1873 in Prague, an Adam Sigl was identified as Richter (Bürgermeister) in Vollmau.

     George John Siegel, son of Joseph Tirschl Siegel and Magdalena Tuschl, was * born on Thursday, 10 April 1902 in Clarks Mills, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, USA.^1,2 On Tuesday, 11 August 1925, George John, age 23, oo married Erma Marie Lutz, age 23, in Sheboygan, Sheboygan County.¹

     Joachim Bernhard Sigel, son of Georg Adam Sigl and Barbara Müllbauer, was ~ baptized on Sunday, 20 August 1780 at St. Antonius Catholic Church, Vollmau (Folmava), District of Taus, Bohemia, Austria.^1,2,3 On Wednesday, 13 January 1802, Joachim Bernhard, age 21, oo married Juliana Semmelbauer, age 22, in St. Antonius Catholic Church, Vollmau (Folmava).^4,5 On Monday, 18 October 1824, Joachim Bernhard, age 44, oo married Katharina Mühlbauer, age 32, at St. Antonius Catholic Church, Vollmau (Folmava).^1,6
      First we find Joachim at Hausnummer 14, Vollmau. Later he was found living at Hüllbauer Hausnummer 7 in Obervollmau. It looks as though in 1805 Joachim purchased the farm which was to become the Siegl family homestead.

After WWI, when Joachim's great-grandson Johann built a new house and barn, the new house became hausnummer 7 and the original house/barn became hausnummer 59. To account for this, and to keep this information tuned to the old vital records which refer to the original house/barn as #7, these records will identify 7 (59) which refers to the original house/barn and 7 which refers to the new house and barn built after WW I.

      Jakub Smid in November of 2006 reported the microfilms 1 - 18 containing birth records for the parish of Furth im Wald were missing. He found what exists now are index books with all names listed for these years. In that index, he found the information about the birth of Johann Siegl (born 1669, card 6, record ? 68). Unfortunately, the exact dates were missing.

     Johann Adam Sigl, son of Johann Sigl and Margarethe Barbara (maiden name unknown), was ~ baptized on Thursday, 24 September 1699 at Maria Himmelfahrt Catholic Church, Furth im Wald, Oberpfalz, Bavaria.¹ Say 1721, Johann Adam oo married Katharina (maiden name unknown).

     Joseph John Siegl, son of Anton Siegl and Margarethe Mühlbauer, was * born on Saturday, 23 April 1887 at Hüllbauer Hausnummer 7 (59), Obervollmau, District of Taus, Bohemia, Austria.^1,2,3,4,5 In 1907, Joseph John oo married Anna Ott at St. Agatha Catholic Church, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA.^6,7 He is buried in St. Boniface Catholic Cemetery, Goldendale, Washington County, Wisconsin, USA.^5,4 He chose a burial location next to his wife Anna in Section C, Row 5, Plot 29-A1.
     Joseph, at the age of 15, emigrated from Vollmau (Folmava), Bohemia, departing Bremen on 20 September 1902 arriving New York on 1 October in that same year and on to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where his brother Anthony was living. The ship on which he traveled was the Friederick der Grosse. It is said that he and his brother Anthony were each given $200 in which to make their trip. Anthony preceded Joseph by say 15 years. The Ellis Island Internet database identified Joseph as Josef Sigl, 15 years from Tollman arriving New York on 1 October 1902. The ship's manifest identifies Josef as the fifth passenger, in possession of more than $30.00, and with a ticket to Milwaukee. He paid for his own passage. It looks as though he may have traveled alone.^8,9 In 1914, Joseph and his brother Anthony visited the family in Vollmau this based on a picture taken there at the time. Missing on the picture was his brother Karl, who had died at age 19 in Vienna in 1897, and his sister Maria, who had died at the age of 34 in 1909.

Joe was a brewer and proud of his work. Along came prohibition and he was required to make beer but without the alcohol. This was not to his liking. Joe left his job in St. Louis and moved the family to Milwaukee at 3234 North 36th Street. This was the home of Anna's parents George and Mary Ott.

Family hearsay has Joe wanting to be a chicken farmer. One of their neighbor's friend was a realtor who heard of a farm available in the South Germantown area. One day the family and the realtor took a car ride and went to look at the farm. Details of the farm are not remembered but what is remembered is that Anna became very sick. The sickness was blamed on the chickens and that was the last time anyone mentioned a chicken farm. Some time went by and Joe and Anna attended a dance at the Beuscher's Inn. They liked the place, bought it from Phillip Beuscher for one dollar and other valuable considerations, and the family moved to South Germantown.

On 4 November 1921, Joseph and Anna and their son Joseph and daughter Anna arrived at the now Siegl Hotel, Beverage Parlor, Dance Hall, and Park on Main Street. They were owner and proprietor. Specialities were chicken and squab dinners at all hours and dressed squab to take home. Art Roskopf was one of several in the area who raised squabs, he in the barn at the Roskopf homestead near Dheinsville.

On 11 March 1927, South Germantown became the Village of Germantown. Eleven citizens of South Germantown had petitioned the Washington County Circuit Court for incorporation of a one square mile area. The petitioners were: Father Banholzer, Adam Diefenthaler, Benn C. Duerrwaechter, Alvin Gronemeyer, Edward Rintelman, Joe Rosecky, Arthur Schmidt, Charles A. Schuster, John A. Schwalbach, Joseph J. Siegl, and Aaron Walterlin. Population of South Germantown, now Germantown, was 243.

It was reported in the Wisconsin News, Wall Street Closing Addition of Saturday, 23 March 1935: Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Siegl had been beaten and robbed of $500 in their Germantown hotel tavern the previous night, by four unmasked men identified as Elroy Schickert age 27 former resident of Germantown, Dominic Guarniere age 24, Mike Farina age 21, and Thomas Konczal age 23 all of Milwaukee. At the point of a gun, Mr. and Mrs. Siegl were bound and gagged. Cash was taken and the foursome sped to Milwaukee on highway 55 later in the century to be called 145. The bandits were captured within 12 hours due to the vigilance of Harold Kannenberg, a Germantown auto mechanic, who obtained the license number. He had noticed the car loitering around town the previous several days and became suspicious. Published in the West Bend News weeks later, four men pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison.

In another newspaper article written about 1942: The Siegl Hotel is one place in Germantown where one may go and enjoy an excellent meal among attractive and comfortable surroundings. There, good food and all legal beverages are offered at modest prices. The hotel makes a speciality of chicken and squab dinners as well as moderately priced plate lunches. The Siegl Hotel which was originally built some 65 years ago [1875] has been recently remodeled in attractive knotty pine by the present owner. It has a sound proof ceiling, new bar and back bar, moderately illuminated, and by means of transparent tubes, people may actually see beer flowing from the cellar to the tap. The owner and manager, Mr. Joseph Siegl, has directed this establishment for 21 years.

     Joseph Siegel Jr., son of Joseph Tirschl Siegel and Magdalena Tuschl, was * born on Sunday, 04 November 1917.^1,2

     Joseph Tirschl Siegel, son of Peter Fischer and Margaret Tirschl and grandson of Anna Maria Tirschl and stepgrandson of Franz Siegl, was * born on Monday, 09 October 1876 at Haus #4, Draxelmoos, Bohemia, Austria.^1,2,3 On Monday, 27 May 1901, Joseph Tirschl, age 24, oo married Magdalena Tuschl, age 21, in Clarks Mills, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, USA.³ He was buried in Clarks Mills.³
      Father Kenan suspects Joseph did not emigrated at age 10 with Ulrich. He believes Ulrich and Karl emigrated in 1887, and in 1892 (by which time Ulrich and Karl were established), Anna Maria, Catharina, and Joseph emigrated. At that time (1892) Joseph was actually 16 years old (no longer a minor for emigration purposes); consequently, a birth year of 1878 was declared for ‘dependent status’ and continued to be used until his birth record was discovered in 2003.
