After researching the VETSH lines for the last twenty some years I would like to share my findings---Find  the group sheets for Jacob Vetsch.... and Joseph Vetsch

 

Jacob Vetsch's family moved Missouri to Minnesota in 1857
During the latter part of 1857 Jacob VETSCH & his brother Joseph VETSCH kept a small store on their claim in SW quarter of section 12 twsp 120 range 24  but gave up the business after about 2 years. St Michael MN-Joseph Vetsch bought a store in St. Michael in 1863 but sold it shortly after. Store  owned in 1866 by F.T. Aydt & Joseph VETSCH.
