Most Recent Genealogical Brick Walls

Here are my most likely connections to unknown DNA matches. Any matches to my other branches are probably already known since those family trees are documented quite a ways back.

Charles E. Miller aka Karl E. Müller, born 7 Oct 1852, somewhere in Germany. Came through New York around 1874. Spent some time in New York City before moving to Linn County, then Chariton County, Missouri. Married Philomena Bixenman in 1891 in Wien, Chariton County, Missouri. Moved to Fort Madison, Lee County, Iowa and spent the rest of his life there.

Crescentia Wolfgang/Wolfeck, born 1834 near Treherz, Donaukreis, Wuerttemberg, although there are times she says she was born in Bavaria. Married Benedict Bixenman, probably in New York, before 1858 after migrating with him to America, probably in 1854-1858. The family spent time in Lake County, Indiana before moving to Chariton County, Missouri.

Thomas F. Doran, born between 1853 and 1859, probably in Brooklyn, New York to Nancy Doran and an unknown father. The Doran family originated in County Donegal, Ireland. Nancy and her parents and siblings came to Philadelphia in 1849, spending some time in the Philadelphia area before moving to Warsaw, Hancock County, Illinois. Nancy's parents were Thomas Doran and Catherine (Kitty) O'Hara.
