Hi Heidi,

Thank you for your interest and request. I am the great grandson of Vincenz Conrad. My grandmother, Johanna, was one of his daughters. I too have copies of one of his civil war photos and the family coat of arms. I would love to see what you have!

Of interest to you might be information that I have collected about the Conrad family in Fountain City, Wisconsin and in S.E. Switzerland. I have visited this area in Switzerland were the Conrad fortress is twice - most recently in 2014.

I live near Minneapolis. In what part of the country are you? Who was your Great Grandfather? Perhaps we can get together to share stories and materials.

All my best,

Gerald Smith
