A few weeks ago, Randy Seaver of Randy's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Genealogy Blogger threw out a Saturday night genealogy challenge.

Bernhard Ludwig August Plücker (1835-1912) married Augusta Herbold (1835-1910 ) on 27 Jan 1864 in Kohlgrund, Germany and they had eight children- Mary Maria, Barbara Addie, Wilehlmina Elisabeth, Friedrich, August Ludwig, Auguste Fredricke, Auguste Fredricke Louise, Christian, and They lived in Aurora,Kane, Illinois.

I found the family in the 1910 US Federal Census indexed on Ancestry.com as August Plucker. He is listed twice in Ancestry, once as age 73 and once as age 71. Both Census entries were dated 16 April 1910 and enumerated by Warren S. Boyle. Here is what I know about him.
