GOTTFRIED WALLER and his wife, LOUISE, are the earliest known
ancestors in
my branch of the Waller family. They were the parents of FRIEDERICH
WALLER
and ROBERT WALLER who are both known to have emigrated to the United
States,
settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is unknown if there were
other
siblings, and it is assumed that Gottfried and Louise remained in
Germany.
Friederich was born in Germany in October, 1851 and died in Milwaukee,
WI,
and Robert Waller was born in Stettin, Germany, in April 30, 1858 and
died
October 25, 1915 in Milwaukee, WI.
Friederich and his wife, Bertha, arrived in the US in 1884 and are listed
in
the 1885 Milwaukee City Directory. Friederich and Bertha were the
parents
of about eleven children.
In May of 1893, Robert Waller, his wife Minna, and their children,
Robert,
Emma, Martha arrived in the US and settled in Milwaukee.
Family hearsay indicates a military background in the family and says that
a
Waller ancestor (who was FRENCH) was a general under Napoleon and
defected
to Germany. I have an undated, very formal photograph of Robert
Waller
(Sr.) as a young boy of under ten years old in a military uniform,
probably
taken before 1863. The photo was taken in Potsdam Germany, and it
is
unknown if the family resided there and/or the child attended a military
school there.
I have done no actual European research, so information regarding
Gottfried
and earlier ancestors is not available at this time.
