Maschke Family History
The 1901 census shows Martin Maschke came to Canada in 1874. He settled
in Wingle (Raglan township. His brother Edward later came to Canada and
settle in Palmer Rapids (Bangor Township). Church records show Edward was born
in Kries Schwetz Germany. Martin also had two sisters in Canada Wihelmine and Pauline. There is
no record of his parents coming to Canada that I know of. There are
many individules researching the Maschke family and they used to have regular
family reunions.
