    Church archives of the reformed township Wuesten (Lippe) about the family Rasche indicate that "Farmer Simon" and Farmer Christoph Pecher were
    witnesses to the Christening of Simon's brother Karl Wilhelm Christoph.

    Per my aunt Dayle Schlotfeldt Townsley, daughter of one of Simon's
    daughters, Alvina, (my grandmother) These church records were found
    in the Bible of August Rasche. August was Alvina's first cousin. "Uncle
    Ferd Rasche paid August's way to the U.S. and also paid for his brother
    and two sisters. One of the two I believe is still living in Florida" 1960s note
    Original records were written in German and Dayle's cousin, Hilda Bray
    had them translated. (Fay has copy of orig. and translation)
