Leo Pulskamp Photos
Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under Family history
Leo and Roberta Pulskamp, of Grand Rapids, MN, sent me some lovely photos from their family history along with their registration for the World Wide Gathering of the Pulskamps. One photo shows the wedding of Leo’s parents, Jacob Gerhard Pulskamp and Bertha Antoinette Mueller. They were married on November 10, 1915 at St. Rose of Lima Church, Hillsboro, North Dakota. The photo shows the young couple, seated and surrounded by their attendants. From the left, the others in the photo are August Mueller (I assume he is the brother of the bride), Kathyrn Pulskamp (sister of the groom), Frank Leo Pulskamp (brother of the groom), and Catherine Mueller (I assume she is the sister of the bride.). They are a good looking lot, don’t you think? Can you see any resemblance to Pulskamps in your family?
Another photo (actually two photos printed on one page) shows Henry Pulskamp and Anna C. Ertel, Leo’s grandparents, and the parents of Jacob Gerhard Pulskamp from the wedding photo. These two look so young! Maybe the photos were taken when they finished high school?
The last photo shows Gerhard G. Pulskamp, Leo’s great grandfather. Gerhard arrived in Indiana in 1845 at the age of eight, the middle of the three Pulskamp boys from Germany. He was the one who kept the family farm, while the oldest and youngest sons took up trades in the city.
Thanks to Leo for sending the photos!

Good day,
I was working on some family history and I came across your blog. I find the picture above rather interesting. My grandmother often spoke of the Pulskamps who lived in the Hillsboro area. I know of two Pulskamps that married distant relations.
Thanks for contacting me, Sarah. You provided me with a few piece of information that I had incorrect and I hope I was able to pass on other information for you. Maybe you will join us for the World Wide Gathering of the Pulskamps!
