Texas Wends

Welcome everyone to the Texas Wendish thread. Post any facts, questions or requests concerning them here.

Has anyone been to see the Bell at Concordia's new campus in Austin? I went with my brother a few months ago and found it in front of Building A. It is exposed on all sides and rests on a concrete block with a cover that does not provide adequate protection from rainfall or hail. Personally I feel this bell, at least 155 years old and so highly revered as a icon of our Wendish heritage, should be sheltered from the elements to prevent damage and degredation (as well as the potential college prank) from occuring to the bell. What are your thoughts? I've posted pictures I took of the bell on my Yahoo Flickr account, here's one and you can view all others by navigating through the photo stream: www.flickr.com/photos/wendishtexan/4074509726/in/photostream/

For me, I got interested in historical markers through the help of my dad who liked to stop and read about the various ones. The pictures featured on these links were not taken by myself or anyone I personally know, but are able to be found on the flickr website by searching for "wendish"

If you know of any more, please post a link to them!

I am researching Johann Matthaeus Kneschk and Johanna Wolsch. I find that Johanna is the daughter of Johann Wolsch and Elisabeth Noack of Weisswasser Germany. I am woundering if any of the Noack's in Texas is related.

My name is Nan Kurio. My grandfather’s grandfather was
Michael Kurio (Kurjo in Wendish) who came over on the Ben Nevis
in 1854 to Serbin, Texas from Lusatia, Germany.

Listed below is my Kurio Family Tree:

Nan Kurio
Norris Andrew Kurio (1921-2006) and Mary Curl Kurio (1924-
Otto Gerhardt Kurio (1895-1961) and Alma Schroeder (1898-1987)
Johann Andreas Kurio (1856-1940) and Maria Germann (1861-1939)
Michael Kurio (Kurjo) (1821-?) and Christiana Kunns (1833-?)
Andreas Kurio (Kurjo) and Maria Zwor

I have a Wendish Bible prepared by Johann Petschke and published
in 1797, that was in a trunk supposedly brought over by Michael Kurio
on the Ben Nevis.

I am curious as to the meaning or significance of the symbol on the
top of trunk and any other information or ownership of this Bible.
I would like to post pictures of these items.
