Wish List of Information for this family ... I like to add old photos to web page and my family notes and don't have any of Estella Campbell Pufalt, my great great aunt, and her husband Carl E. Pufalt ... Does anyone else have any?  Caroline Pufalt has provided a wonderful photo of the Pufalt family. It might take a bit to load but is worth the wait!
I'd also like to find out where in Germany both the Pufalt family and the Grunwald immigrated from. 
Estella Campbell Pufalt's mother was Emma Kassell Campbell.  Emma's parents were German, as well.   Other interesting information would be items such as naturalization information and final resting places for the others in this family.

Location of this family:  Granite City, Madison County, Illinois 

I often use Yahoo People Search to find possible "kin", by matching last names and similiar locations, I can sometimes find others with the same family line.  I wrote to Caroline Pufalt and had a GREAT surprise when I opened my e-mail and found this note from her!

I'm Caroline Pufalt, cpufalt@stlnet.com  correct mailing address is 13415 Land O Woods #3, St Louis MO 63141 6078.

My grandfather was Fred Pufalt, brother to Carl E Pufalt. I don't know a lot about my family history. My father, William Pufalt and grandfather are deceased. My aunt, Marcella, who was daughter of Sophie Pufalt (wife of Fred) and Fred's stepdaughter is still living. She is 85 but in ill health in a nursing home. I asked her about Carl. She recalls that he was a barber, who cut her hair several times when she was a child. She says he was heavy set and friendly. My mother, Loretta Pufalt, recalls that Carl did remarry but doesn't think they had any children. I am pretty sure we have Fred Pufalt's birth certificate in storage at my mother's. I will look for it and send you a copy. Fred and Carl were born in Germany. I am single, have no children. I have one sister, Susan Whitney who has two boys. She lives in Jacksonville IL. Aunt Marcella had one child, Jerry Miller who lives in Bradenton FL. Carl had another brother, Jack. His grandchildren and great grandchildren live in Fl also. Don't have any information on the Campbells and Grunwalds. I have some cousins still in Granite City. I will forward your letter to them, see if they have any info.
