He married Mary Anna Kransz daughter of Nicholas and Margaret Faber Kransz. Do you know when Maria & John got married? I have an obit on Maria Palen that said they emigrated from Luxembourg in 1855 with six little children and settled in Iowa. Do you know who were the parents of Maria? Also in the obit it says that she leaves two brothers Nicholas and Leopold. Do you have any information on them? If you would like a copy of the obit I will email it to you.
