Hi Mathias, that's right.

I always keep the information I found updated on FamilySearch:

Some of the things you mentioned were new to me, or I only suspected them, like the marriages of Wilhelm Besler's sisters. Thank you for your research.

The people who lived in Horodyszcze, Tutschin are very confusing because there isn't much information available.

The Beslers were a family from Konin, more precisely from Stare Miasto.

I didn't look through all of Konin's records properly, so there are some birth dates I don't know precisely.

I'm going to take this opportunity to also write down some information here.
----------------------------------------------------------
As far as I know:
Johann Besler (*~1765 - +5.9.1810, Stare Miasto)
Anna Marianna Fritz (*~1770)

1. Christoph Besler (*~1798 - +15.3.1878 Kolowert)
2. Michael Besler (*~1803 - 21.3.1867 Volhynia), married to Caroline Wollschläger (⚭ 1825, Goslawice)
3. Marianna Besler (*18.1.1820 Stare Miasto)

It's possible that this Besler family are related to the Beslers who lived in Pasieka, Izbica in the 1790s but I cannot verify this yet and sadly maybe I never will because I believe the records around that time of Izbica were lost and they have indexes that only mention those baptized without their parents.

⚭23.11.1819 (Zychlin ew-ref.)

2. Johann Besler (*~1822 - +29.1.1849 Stare Miasto)
3. Johann Ferdinand Besler (*~1825 - +25.6.1839 Konin)
4. Anna Carolina Besler (*4.5.1826 Stare Miasto - +25.6.1828 Konin)
5. Johann Karl Besler (*20.3.1828 Konin)
6. Karl August Besler (*~1830), married to Caroline Klein (⚭ 1847, Konin) & Marianna Polutke (⚭ 1860, Wladyslawow)
7. Christoph Besler (*~1831), married to Anna Carolina Schiebel (⚭ 1863, Konin)

11. Emilie Besler (*28.2.1843, Stare Miasto - +~1873), married to Johann August Nehring (⚭ 1866, Konin)
-----------------------------------

About the children of Gottlieb Besler and Marianna Wetter is pretty good, in fact I didn't know about the case of Fritz Besler, where did you get the information about his death in 1916, which is a crazy year to get information.

That Fritz Besler could have been my great-great-grandfather Wilhelm because I don't know his date of death, but it was between 1915 and 1922.

Some of the relationships of the girls you mentioned I suspected about them, but I didn't dare to confirm them.

4. Emma Besler (*14.12.1913 Horodyszcze), married to Andreas Hauschildt (⚭ 1934 Tutschin), EWZ 111988

------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps something sad thing about this family, now that I've learned a bit more from my grandmother is that it seems they went through difficult time in terms of living together after Augustine (Ernestine) Hiller died.

Wilhelm Besler then remarried twice times.
His eldest son, Adolf, emigrated as fast as he could, apparently when he was only like 18 yo in 1912 to Canada.

According to my grandmother, the children from the first marriage: Adolf, Mathilde, Alwine, and Olga, loved and defended each other very much.

Adolf didn't visit my great-grandmother Olga in Paraguay from Canada as I said once I think; instead, they exchanged letters and photos. I have pictures of Adolf Besler's children.

I'm not sure if I understood your message correctly, but did you understood that both couples were "Johann Henkel & Julianna Besler"?

I always found to the 1840 Wilhelm Henkel (Henkelmann) as Wilhelm, not Johann.

One couple would be
Wilhelm Henkel (*1840) & Julianna Besler (*1838) (⚭ 1863 Konin)
and the other:
Johann Henkel & Julianna Besler (*27.9.1870 Volhynia)

Greetings and Happy Easter.
