(August Woldt left his farm to his son Julius Woldt  and moved in with his son Herman Woldt and family.

He was living with his son Herman at the time of his death in 1925.)

Following is a not-to-brief history of the Woldt' begetting:

August married Bertha and beget Herman, Julius, Otto, August (Grandpa Dick), Emma, Lydia, and Charles. Julius married Annie, Otto married Mable and beget Ellen, Alvin, Laurence, and Eva. ("Julius Woldt and his first wife Anna inherited the August Woldt, Sr. homestead.  After his first wife died, Julius married a woman named Mary.  Julius and Mary had one son.  Julius sold the homestead farm but I am not sure of the time frame. Julius and Mary moved to Sturgeon Bay where Julius worked in the shipyards.  They lived a few blocks from the Sturgeon Bay Canal.  Their small son fell into the canal and drowned."). Charles born 1870 and died 1913 was the youngest son of August and Bertha. Charles is buried in the Egg Harbor Cemetery next to August his brother near Highway 42. Lydia and Uncle Doc Schmidt had on child that died at birth. I think Uncle Doc's father's name was Sax Weiner born in Germany in 1881? Doc and Lydia are buried in West Jacksonport Cemetery. I think Otto was born in Pomerania Germany in 1876 and Married Mable Calhoon on October 15, 1903. Otto and Mabel beget Ellen, Alvin, Lawrence, and Eva. Emma was born in Europe, Germany in 1881 and immigrated to the US in 1885. She married Rudolph  "Adolph" Lautenbach on September 11, 1912. He was born in 1877 the son of Gustave Lautenbach and Caroline Shultz. Adolph and Emma beget Stanley (Uncle Casey) and Elroy. They are buried in the West Jacksonport cemetery. Herman was born January 13, 1883 in Judville, Wisconsin and died in December 1964. He married Hulde "Hilda" Olson on May 5, 1915. They are buried in the Judville Lutheran Church cemetery. Herman and Hilda beget Ruby, Roger, and Virginia. Virginia married Richard "Dick" Weisgerber and beget Judy (Wayne Voite), Valery, and Richard. August "Dick" married Anna Herbst and beget Myrtle, Clara, Roland, Roy, and Betty. Refer below for the begetting.... Rich Woldt

A notes from Roy "Decker" Woldt sez:

• "Eva Jane was raised in Green Bay Wisconsin.  One day she came home from school and told her father that she needed five dollars to help their local hometown  team buy a franchise to play in the National Football League.  All the townspeople who contributed were given a certificate of appreciation for supporting their team.  This team played their games in the high school stadium until 1957, when Lambeau Field was built and named after the teams first coach, Curley Lambeau.  The team's name was the Green Bay Packers.

• ."Rudolph Lautenbach and Emma Woldt Lautenbach lived on a farm near West Jackson Port near the Bley, Schmidt and Lautenbach homesteads.  They had a two sons. One of their sons was born with down syndrome and died at a young age and their other son was Stanley "Squeeky" Lautenbach." 

• "Squeeky never married.  He worked in several taverns and hotels as a bartender through the years, including the Carmen Hotel and  the Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club in the 1950's."

• "Uncle Herman owned a Dance Hall and Tavern in Egg Harbor in the early 20's.  Grandma Woldt died in 1921.  Grandpa Woldt moved in with Uncle Herman and his family at the tavern.  Julius inherited the homestead and continued working the land.  I can remember when Grandpa Woldt died, Ruby took my hand and made me go upstairs to see Grandpa all laid out.  They didn't embalm people in those days.  He was just lying in the bed.  I will never forget looking down at him with his full head of gray hair and his long fluffy gray beard.

• Uncle Herman became very sick and had to go to Florida to recover.  He had a flat-bed truck that made into a "RV Camper".  He built a house on top of  the flat-bed and put a bed inside.  He put in all the living essentials including a cook-stove for his family to live in while in Florida.  Uncle Herman asked my dad and mother to move into town and run the tavern and dance hall  for him while is was in Florida. When Uncle Herman returned to Egg Harbor, my dad and mother moved a block away to rent a place above the barber shop in Egg Harbor.  It was a short time later that my dad and mother bought their own tavern.

• A couple of years later, Uncle Herman sold the Egg Harbor tavern and bought a tavern that is about 5 miles south of Sturgeon Bay on Hwy 57.  The tavern was built on a curve and Uncle Herman named it "Woldt's Corner"

• Richard (Dick) Weisgerber was a fullback for the Green Bay Packers in the 1940's. 

Bill and my grandparents are:  AUGUST H. "DICK" WOLDT born January 24, 1887 and died November 25, 1959 in Door County Wisconsin.  He married ANNA HERBST August 23, 1911 in Door County Wisconsin, daughter of NICK HERBST and MINNIE LAUTENBACH.  She was born June 27, 1889, and died November 22, 1981 in Door County Wisconsin.

Following in a brief review of the begetting on Bill and my branch of the...

Valintine Herbst -Minnie Lautenbach and August - Bertha Woldt Family Tree!

The way we have it figured, Anna married August ("Grandpa Dick") and beget... Myrtle Woldt Patza (born May 31, 1912 - died December 30, 2002) who married Benjamin R. Patza (born July 9, 1909 - died October 2, 1982) and beget Gloria (born May 17, 1932 - died November 26, 2000). Gloria married Bert Thorp and beget by adoption Bert D. (born February 18, 1953) who married Patricia Elston and beget Megan Louise (born October 5, 1987). That was easy!

Myrtle and Ben Patza than beget... Bruce on June 17, 1935 who married Jane Herlache in '54 and went on to beget Robert in 55, William in 56, David in 59, Daniel in 62, Scott in 65, Thomas in 66, Ann Lydia in 68, and Timothy in 72. Way to go Bruce and Jane! 

Than, Robert Patza beget... Austin in '82 and William married Cindy Storley and beget Jennifer in 78. David married Karen Wiesie and beget Sarah in 77 and Michael in '81. Daniel married Holly Holzem in '89 and beget Cole in '92. Scott Lloyd married Jessica Main in '88 and beget Shane in '87 and Alexandra in '93. Thomas not to be outdone married Mary Ristow in '92 and beget Kay Leigh according to the records in 1933. Now that was a trick. Ann Lydia married Daniel Bluma in '91 and beget "Ashley in '85 and Tony Mach in 85? And finally, Timothy married Jennifer Kurczek in '91 and, you guest it, beget Ellison Jo in '92. Word is Bruce has not been fixed but Jane has hid his ammunition.

Thomas Patza... (born May 17, 1939) married Mary Hebbering (born August 1942) and beget... Michelle in '69 and Nichole in 76. Michelle married David Skaja in 95 and beget Mason David on March 15, 2000.

Lee David Patza... (born January 3, 1944) married Christine Tryba and beget... Jeffrey on January 6, 1970 and Andrea on April 24, 1973.

  Following is a review of what I believe to be true about begetting on the other branches of the Valentine - Anne E. Herbst family tree:

Just looking at George who married Kathrina Leimbach and beget Frederick who married Louisa Wagner and beget Larry and William who married Verna Haberli and beget Elvyna who married Gerald Fickel who beget Vicki, Twila and Kent we'd filled up a bleacher before adding in Larry son of William who married Connie Calhoun and beget Trent and Amy who married Terry Driscoll and beget Joseph, while Trent married Candida Ramirez and beget Kali on June 3, 2002. But than Valentine Herbst also beget Lucietta who married Willard Daniels and beget Danald and Judy who married Williamd Thoni and beget Carol and Karthie and Karen.

Well about the second jug we figured Frederick and Lucietta Valentine also beget John and Louis and Edward and Carl and Richard who alone lead us into a list of Zephirins and Broetzmans and Crains and Jorsch and Vaness. So we popped the cork on another jug and decided to start over with Valentine's Daughter Anna Herbst born June 11, 1887 (died October 21, 1905) and sort out who we might invite. But than we figured we had the wrong Anna as she married August Leimbach and neither of us looked much like a Leimbach. So we looked at Valantine's son John and Louis and found that Louis (Beans) Herbst and Ella Muehlbach beget Elva Bertha Herbst who married Sabastian (Bud) Killa and Elva's sister Irene Clara marred Harry Edwards and her brother Edward Harry John Herbst married Patricia Patterson and beget Linda who married Richard Harding and beget Andrew, Alexander and Robin cousins to Lisa and Laurie. Well, when we went back to Anna's brothers Edward, Carl, and Richard we saw that Richard married Ella Lobrey and beget June Herbst who married ebie Zephirin and beget Terry who married John Boldt and Deborah who married Kaker and Steven who married Jance Linnox and Roberta who married Wayne Broetzman who beget Erin and Zeph whold Bradly Zephirin married Anita Crain and beget Samantha while Janet Herbst married both Jorsch and Vaness. 

Now it was about 4 a.m. so we called Roy "Decker" Woldt in Pampa Texas to get his opinion. He hung up so I'm glad he didn't know who was calling. Going back to work, we decided to look at Valentine's son Otto (Bones) Herbst.Well now we were getting somewhere because Otto married Norma Hasenjager and beget Myron who married Joann Bruckner and Eunice who married August Bley's son Gordon Edward in 1953. Now Gordon Edward, son of August and Lydia Caroline Herbst who married Eunice daughter of Bones and Norma beget Lisa Bley who married Robert Bieri and beget Michael and Jason who married Sara Ewaskowitz. Oh yes, Eunice and Gordon also beget Philip Bley who married Mary Sawyer (daughter of Robert Sawyer and Jean Herbst) and beget Kelly, Sadie, Annie, Andrew and Lucy, while Bradly born in  '67 married Lisa Ann Brauer and beget Aaron, Taylor and Max, while Lisa Bley married Robert Bieri and beget Michael, Jason, and Lindsay. Now Sharon born in '41 married Eugene Kessen and beget Brenda, Laure, Jeff, Terrie. Brenda married Dan Leist and beget Chelsea, Dane, and Marli, while Laurie married Jeff Shartner and beget Calle, Erin, and Alec and Terrie married Steve Haen and beget Casey, Lucas, and Logan.

Now Henry Herbst (son of Valentine and Anne E. for those of you who are confused) married Elizabeth Anschutz and beget Rose and Emma Herbst who married Frank Garske and beget Joyce, Frank, and Clarence who married June Murphy and beget Robert and Larry. Emil Herbst, son of Henry and Elizabeth married Nellie Vonholten and beget Helen and Warren who married Bess. Elmer Herbst married Ann Urdal and beget Ralph. Lester Herbst married Florence Bishop and beget Mildred in May of '27 who married Rober E. Leist in 1950 and beget David, Barbara, Cheryl, Daniel, Randy, and Sandra. Now, I don't know much about Martha and Edna daughters of Henry and Elizabeth but I do know that Elsie Herbst born in 1884 married Joseph Micholas Rehr and beget Helen who married George Gerdman and beget Don, Glen, Patsy, and Mary Jane. Patsy married Neil Anders and beget Barbara, Christine, John, Debra and Thomas. Barbara married Larry Cain and beget Shawn, Christine married Richard Voghlander and beget Michael and Robert, Debra married Eric Kordon and beget Samuel and Jacob, while Tomas married Ginger Rass and beget Karlie and Mary Jane married John Olsen. Now Irene Rehr married Herbert Pleck and beget Sheri while Myrtle Rehr married Leon Collins and beget Bill and Ross Rehr married Jeanette Macmillin and beget Rebecca who marriede Steve Meyer and beget Eric and Justin while Vickie rehr married Terry Havel and beget nicholas and Nathan. Frank Herbst born August 1, 1889 died on June 4, 1960.

Now Elizabeth Herbst (daughter of Valentine and Anne E.) married August Anschutz and beget William, Louis, and Edward. William married Adelia Voeks and beget Luella who beget Dolores, Elaine, Edward, Donald, Darrel, Mary Lou, and Donna Laser (father Harold Laser). Edwin Anschutz marrie Elaine Bochek and beget William "Bill", Gary who married Janet and Daniel who married Nancy Berger. Alfred Anschutz married Dorthy Kramer and beget Darlene who married Dan Fernandez, Daun who marrie Ivan Renier, Elroy who beget Terry, and Leona who married Clayton Cardy and beget Darrel, Donna, Tom, and Margie. Dona Cardy married Dan Wolske. Mow Lloyd Anschutz married donna Jirtle and beget Terry Anschutz who married Dona Bullis and beget Terry Jr and Callie. Marry married David Turley and Lest married Betty Parkos and beget Diane who married Wahl while Alvin Anschutz married Marge Alberts and beget Alton, Dennis, and Bonnie.

Well now it was getting into the next day and we'd gone through five jugs of whiskey, Bill was asleep under the table and I realized we'd just begun to sort out who the Anshutz had all married and begot. For example we knew of surnames to include: Cardy, Jirtle, Bullis, Turley, Parkos, Alberts, Degrave, Fandrei, Ehlers, Sauger, Wick, Nasi, Anderson, Zeller, Grasse, Schroeder, Simon, Michelsen, Mielke, Peterson, Reynolds, Urban, Reimer, Krauel, and Lautenbach. Oh, Lautenbach! Becker wake up I said, "I think we're zeroing in on our distant cousins!"
