HANS KIENHOLZ=FLUCK

The following notice includes mention of one of my great grandmothers (mother's mother's mother), Anna Bertossa (1858-1936), who married Clement F. Bertossa (1856-1948).  They are buried in the Almira, Washington Cemetery.  It is written in German, which I do not speak: If someone can provide a good translation, I would greatly appreciate it.  I do not know how most of the people mentioned are related, except that they are.

update:

On July 29, 2013, I received the following email from Patrick Berger:

Hello,

Here’s a translation of the text you have blogged on July 10, 2011. I’ve come across this because I have found some old letters of Hans Kienholz-Flück’s son. To me it looks that your great-grandmother was a sister of Hans Kienholz-Flück. He was the head of a famous school for wood carving in Brienz that still exists: http://www.holzbildhauerei.ch/

Best regards,

Patrick Berger
