Description: Hello -
I saw an entry on the Black Sea German Research webpage for Anton Fischer, who was born in Sulz, Ukraine and then emigrated to Dunn County, North Dakota and married a Swedish woman, Marie Johnson. This was my great-grandfather. My grandfather, Raymond Fischer, was born in Oakdale, North Dakota in 1913, and my father, Roger Fischer, was born in Killdeer in 1948. The family was Catholic, but converted to Lutheranism at some point (either my grandfather or great-grand-father).
Complicating the issue is that there seems to have been another Anton Fischer in Dunn County at about the same time, but the Anton who was my great-grandfather is the one who died about 1949 and was married to Marie Johnson. He had several brothers, as well.
I believe that Anotn's father was a Siegfried (spelling may vary) Fischer, who died in Dickinson in 1916. Going back, it seems the earliest Fischer that I was able to find was a Kaspar Fischer (spelling may vary) in the Bas-Rhin area of Alsace.
I saw some of this information earlier this year on this site, but it seems to have been removed. Our family Bible does state that Anton was married to MArie Johnson - I hope this helps. Any further informaiton and follow-up would be appreciated.
Thank you -
