NOBIS Family in Sachsen

rnobis — 2009-07-03 20:08:40Z

I am looking for the parents and siblings of my great-grandparents, Heinrich Ferdinand Nobis, and Edith (Ida) Pauline Krauss (Krauß). They were Ev. Lutherans.

My great-grandfather, Heinrich Ferdinand Nobis, was born on 31 Dec 1828 in Sachsen (The exact birth location is unknown, but is believed to be near Stollberg, Sachsen).

He married Edith (Ida) Pauline Krauss (Krauß). on 16 May 1853 in Neuwiese (now Neuwürschnitz) near Stollberg. Ida Pauline Krauss was born on 27 Nov 1832 in Neuwiese. She was the daughter of Christian August Krauss (Krauß)., who was born on 28 Sept 1803, in Sachsen, possibly Stollberg or the vicinity.

My grandfather, Max Ferdinand Nobis, was born to Heinrich and Ida on 18 December 1853 in Neuwiese. Siblings of my grandfather were:

Heinrich (Henry) Anton Nobis, born unknown location in 1855
Gustave Carl Nobis, born unknown location about 1857
Martha (Marthe) Q. Nobis, born unknown location about 1859
Richard (Rikert) Nobis, born unknown location about 1862
Olga E. Nobis, born unknown location about 1863
Oswald Nobis, born Oelsnitz in June 1869

All were believed to have been born in or close to Neuwiese near Stollberg or Oelsnitz. However, there is a mention of two other towns in the family Bible: Gersdorf and Schellenberg. I do not know what the family connection is to these two towns, although the bans of marriage for Heinrich Ferdinand Nobis and Ida Pauline Krauss were published in Gersdorf, as well as Neuweise.

Heinrich Ferdinand and Max Nobis immigrated to America in about March 1869. Ida Pauline Nobis and the remaining children, immigrated and arrived in New York on 17 Sept 1869 aboard the ship SS Allemannia out of Hamburg.

Also, two other names were shown in the family Bible that Heinrich or Ida brought to America. These were Karl Gottlob Nobis, who could have been a brother or maybe the father of Heinrich Ferdinand Nobis. The second name was Philip
Karl Ernst Börner. No relationship was shown for Philip Börner.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Kestner Family

halpark — 2009-07-02 23:17:36Z

May I suggest that when researching the parents of Amelia you take into consideration that the name could have been Kaestner? In German that would be the a with the two dots, umlaut, above it, which would be pronounced Kestner and could have been written that way just to simplify things in an English speaking country. Kaestner would be much more common in Germany than Kestner. This point could make record searching a bit easier. Best of luck.

Re: Gerhard Wiemer

vwiemer51 — 2009-07-01 19:51:37Z

Hello Kimberly,
Saw your request dated 2001, are you still looking for information about our ancestors, Gerhard and Charlotte?
Gerhard was one of several siblings who came to America from Germany. He was the son of Dietrick and Rebecca Von Minden Wiemer. Charlotte was his second wife. His first wife was Anna Naber, Charlotte's sister. Anna died about a year after she married Gerhardt. I wonder if childbirth was the cause, but there is no baby mentioned. Gerhard and Charlotte farmed Southeast of Waco Nebraska. If you want more information, you can find it on my family tree Nebraska Connections... I would be happy to invite you to have access to the tree.

Need help translating German IGI christening records

ChrisH06 — 2009-06-23 00:54:28Z

Hi all, I need a little help. I recevied copies of IGI records of christenings for people I think may be in my family lines. I'm wondering what some of the words mean. I've attached copies so that hopefully someone can help me. The first for Anna Dorthea Kupferschmidt, on the top line it parentes (I'm assuming that means parents), then infantes (I'm assuming that means infant) but the last colum I think reads testes? Does that refer to godparents or sponsors? The Anna Dorthea I'm intested in is the second entry, and I'm not sure what 3 words are under the mother, Anna Margaretha's name are? Also, the last line in the testes column of the entry, under the Johann (?) Adam Drohen says something that I can't make out? The father, Isreal Kupferschmidt name appears under the teste column on the next entry. Does this mean he was a godparent of the child listed as Israel?

The next document is for Catharina Magaretha Kupferschmitt and I'm not sure what the word is under her name in the third column? On other documents I've sene the word "conj." or something to that effect. What does this stand for or mean?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

ChrisH06 — 2009-06-25 02:41:43Z

I have another question, for anyone out there. I'm wondering about the first name of Israel. Was this a common German first name in the 18th century? Was this an altername form of Jacob?

Re: cemeteries

sjbloomfield — 2009-06-26 20:30:51Z

So what happens to the stones? Where do they go after a new body is put in the grave?

Re: Hahn Airforce Base - Hunsruck, Germany

sjbloomfield — 2009-06-26 20:00:50Z

This depends on if there was a hospital on the base or if the US women had to give birth off-base in the German hospitals like pregnant women do now at USAF bases in Germany. Hahn was a smaller base, so it might be something to check into as well. There may be a record of birth with a local area hospital, even though the parents would have gotten an American birth certificate afterwards because the child would be an American citizen...

Re: Ruffmann and Ruffman Family Tree Circa 1890

Thanks Klaus for this. I have not seen this link before. I can see a Max Ruffmann listed but so far that is all I have found. I was hoping to have found an address or company advert amongst all the other advertisers but will have another look through. I have now purchased the envelope and it has now arrived. I cannot see a Berlin stamp on it anywhere so looks like Memel is the next correct step to take. My relatives had already left Germany, Prussia, Lithuania by that date 1916 for the UK so I am trying to get back to see who the parents were and where they came from. I do appreciate your help.
Thanks again.

Re: cemeteries

konniq1 — 2009-06-27 17:15:15Z

First you are informed by the cemetery office that the deadline has expired. You can theoretically take the gravestone after this period to your home, he is your property. You then must dismantle and transport the stone, however. No-one makes this hard work! And the surviving relatives are also not the "youngest" ones after this long time. One also can offer a stonemason the stone for some money. He then takes care of the dismantling and uses him for another deceased. Otherwise the stones get in a depository and become later shredded.

Re: Need help translating German IGI christening records

konniq1 — 2009-06-25 10:24:31Z

The name Israel is Hebrew. ("Fencer for God"; "God is upright"). It is a Christian name like also a surname!
Already in the Middle Ages was he a Christian name of non-jews and also of knights.

Re: Need help translating German IGI christening records

First you are right that parentes means parents and infantes means infants/children. Testes means witnesses (of the baptism). The first word under Anna Margareta is "seine" (his), the last "Haußfrau" (wife). The word between may be Ehe/ehelich (matrimonial).
Conjug stands for conjuges (married couple).

Re: Lemleys from Hesse-Darmstadt, Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Germ.

cantorjoeocho — 2009-06-22 08:00:00Z

Your answer is in Social Security death index. Look under Laemmle.

If they were Jewish, they would have been related to Carl laemmle who made classic films in Hollywood, Los Angeles,CA.

As soon as it is posted, I recently did a complete listing of all Laemmles that I found listed in the Social Security Death Index.

I am from the Kick Family from Hesse-Darmstadt. I wrote to the descendants who I thought were still living there in German and English but they never returned my letters. I guess they thought I wanted money or something.

I found several Laemmle families. Apparently they came to NY and some went to KY to IN and to IL. The others remained in NY and NJ. Some went to North Dakota, other were in MN and many ended up on the West Coast.

You might want to use www.switchboard.com and see if you can find any possible relatives by that surname in it. It is an online telephone directory.

Happy hunting.

Re: Emigrant from town of Barman, Germany about 1910?

shirleeblevins — 2009-06-19 23:19:24Z

Hello. My grandmother was born in Barman, Germany in 1894.
She came to America on February 10th of 1910. She traveled on the sailing ship Potsdam which left out of Rotterdam on which I have checked the ship's travel folder. There is no one by the name of Zwick listed on the manifest. So he apparently did not travel on that particular ship in1910.

On another note, I graduated from high school in California with a girl named Joanne Zwick. And I remember that she was of German descent the same as I and that one or both ( I just don't remember)of her grandparents were Prussian. Barman was in,at that time, what was called Prussia. If you would like me to try and find Joanne Zwick, let me know.

Re: Where in Germany?

I found marriage of Jos Tucholka and Antonie Krainik in 1842 in the parish in Skorcz (in the Pomeranian area of Poland) This was on the PTG website. FHC has these records on film.

Also a marriage of a Franz Hersztowski to Catherine Raszejowna in the parish
of Czarnylas in 1857.

Although they spoke German (they had no choice), these folks are Polish from the Prussian/German partition. Records for this parish are also on film.

I am confident that these are your folks. Have fun!

Re: Hallemeyer from Hiddenhausen

Ruthann2727 — 2009-06-15 20:15:51Z

He had three wives that I know of Marie Debbe, Augusta Zeibell and Elizabeth Westhoff (my grandmother). My great great grandfather was Edward, he had my great grandfather Matthias(married Eileen Huff), my grandfather David Hellemeyer Sr., then my dad David Hellemeyer Jr. and on to me Jennifer Hellemeyer Huang. That is how I am related to Casper. He lived in West Alton as did his my great grandpa until he married my grandma. Matt and Eileen had Eight children, David, Patricia, Wayne, Richard, Rodney, Rose, Judy, and Pam. Once I got to Casper I could not find much else about the family. I have his dad as Bernhard Heinrich Hallemeier, and his father's father as Franz Heinrich Halemeier. Casper was born January 1, 1837 in Prussia, Germany, and died December 17, 1907 in St. Charles Mo. He married Marie first, then Augusta and then my grandma Elizabeth. Right now I have the kids all mixed up. It is hard to find who belonged to who when all you can find are connections when all the kids are combined I found that one website I sent earlier but still am not sure if it is right. It would be great to get any info. Also I think I found a photo of your grandfather Otto Hallemeyer. It was at http;//familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/a/s/Diana-M-Massey/PHOTO/0007photo.jpg.
I hope that comes up for you.

Kalde of Petershagen

deaned1009 — 2009-06-14 21:09:12Z

I recently found an obituary for my Great, Great Grandmother containing the following information:
Maiden Name: Wilhelmina Kalde
Born: 17Nov1853 in Petershagen, Germany
Died: 26Mar1921 in Reno, Oklahoma
Came to America in 1872 with Mother and Brother.
Married Herman Arndt 30DEC1872 at Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Had eight (8) Children, six (6) girls and two (2) boys.

I would appreciate any information related to the Kalde family. I would also appreciate advise concerning searching for records in Petershagen, Germany.

Thank you in advance.

It doesn't look like anyone ever replied to your post. I know it's over ten years later but I can give you information on the location. Greifswald is a town on the Baltic Sea, north of Berlin. I visited there in 2006. It was the hometown of my grandfather. It's a fairly small town (I don't know the population) but has a well-known University.

Hope that give you a bit of information

Finding Belken family from Germany??

MDRBelk — 2009-06-17 21:35:54Z

I need help with my German ancestors! I am looking for information on Johannes and Carolina Belken, that came to USA in June of 1852. I can not find where they came from in Germany! I thought they were from Alfen or Affeln, but can't find any records with the Belken name on them. Any help to send me in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Re: Finding Belken family from Germany??

MDRBelk — 2009-06-18 19:21:30Z

Georg,
Thank you! I have looked at that site before, but have never found proof that Casper and johannes were brothers. When I emailed the person that did that, he didn't know for sure that they were brothers, just assummed that they were. I would like to have records of them and know the maiden name of Carolina, my great great grandmother, which I don't know. I am thinking they came from Affeln also, as I looked in the parish reocrds for Alfen church and found no dates or names that match my ancestors. I appreciate your response!

Re: Need German to English translation - HELP

garybryan54 — 2009-06-15 19:43:12Z

Hello everyone
If Johann was born in Bavaria and his Prinz Adalbert cuirassier regiment was part of the Bavarian Army, then he fought against the Prussian Army in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War. Some of the southern German states like Saxony, Baden, Hanover, Wurttemberg and Bavaria sided with Austria. Since the Prussians won that war, do you think the words on this document: Capit I and Capital II might mean capitulation as in surrender? Capitulation as a military term refers to surrendering or giving up.
Is the document Bavarian ?
And if this is indeed his military discharge papers dated March 1869, can we assume Johann entered the service in March of 1866 with at least a 3 year minimum term of active service.
Thanks for help ! Gary B

Does that profession mean Barrel Maker in English. I am unable to understand Böttchermeister (tubbermaster/maker). What is that?

I have recently purchased a 1917 Envelope With Ruffman & Co / Memel brinted in bold print on the top. It was apparently from Berlin to Copenhagen but I do not understand the Memel link. Various other Ruffmann families have links to Prussia.

A pit prop business I believe is the manufacture of the post that make the tunnel in a coal mine. When HH Ruffmann moved to the UK he is listed as a coal exporter.

Can you tell from the records yu have whether the HH Ruffman is the same person as H Ruffmann or different. I am trying to see if there is a link between Hermann Heinrich Ruffmann and a Johann Friedrich Ruffmann but so far I am having trouble . Thanks for your help. Can you send me the document you have found ? justbinit@hotmail.com.

I also found a family coat of arms that suggest Prussia as a starting point in the mid 1700's

Re: finding family in Germany

EileenWilson001 — 2009-06-17 17:02:31Z

Is this the right family?

1900 US Census
Clifton, Clatsop Co., Oregon

Ullrich, Charles, Head, b. June 1866, aged 33, married, 6 years, b. Germany, parents b. same, immigrated 1888, fisherman
Ullrich, Annie, Wife, b. January 1882, aged 18, married, 6 years (???), 1 child born/living, b. Oregon, parents b. Michigan
Ullrich, Violet, Daughter, b. February 1900, aged 3 months, b. Oregon
Bond, Kasper, Boarder, aged 1866, aged 34, single, b. unknown, parents b. unknown, boat puller

Annie's age must be incorrect -- she would hardly have married at age 12!

You are likely aware that Charles would have been Carl in German.

Re: finding family in Germany

EileenWilson001 — 2009-06-18 15:35:16Z

I'm going to say that they are the same family, and were counted twice -- once in Oregon and once in Washington; there are just too many similarities. They were enumerated in Washington on June 4 and in Oregon on June 21st. Both couples have been married six years and have a daughter who was born February 1900. Charles is a fisherman in both cases -- he is born in June in both cases, once in 1866 and once in 1865. Annie's age is a bit more problematic.

1910 US Census
Monticello, Cowlitz, Washington
(note where the three oldest children are born):

Ullrich, Charles C., Head, aged 40, married once, 16 years, b. Germany, parents b. same, immigrated 1886, naturalized, fisherman, salmon fisheries
Ullrich, Anna, Wife, aged 29, married once 16 years, 7 children born/living, b. Oregon, father b. Michigan, mother b. Missouri
Ullrich, Lorela, Daughter, aged 10, b. Oregon
Ullrich, Albert, Son, aged 9, b. Oregon
Ullrich, Randolph, Son, aged 7, b. Oregon
Ullrich, Herman, Son, aged 6, b. Washington
Ullrich, Mildred, Daughter, aged 4, b. Washington
Ullrich, Theodore, Son, aged 2, b. Washington
Ullrich, Sybil, Daughter, aged 1, b. Washington

And Annie may well have been 13 when she married Charles. Note the similarities against the 1900 Oregon census info.

In 1920, they are still in Monticello, but Charles is listed as a fisherman, immigrted 1886. Annie is only marked as aged 34, Ella has the surname Bakart(?). They have also added children named Dorothy, aged 9, Gordon, aged 6, Mark, aged 5 years, 9 months, and Bessie, aged 2 years, 0 months.

From the Oregon Historical Records Index, this may be the entry regarding Carl (Karl)'s naturalization which would be worth chasing down:

Case# no #
Name Ullrich, Karl
Date 12/16/1887
Record Type Intention/Naturalization
County Washington
Source County

Hi Georg8585!
Wanted you to know I have found names from Hettenrodt and because of that, able to locate living Petry People in Ohio and Wisconsin......it's very exciting! I'm not done yet, but I have a great woman in Germany helping me, she has found a lot of records in Boppard and will go back there for me soon. After I get a few more Petrys I can have her help me with Leiser/Leyser. I am so lucky to find people like you and her to answer questions and even get in the car and go through microfiche for me. She told me she will help others with Boppard records too, they can just email her: unserewurzeln@gmx.de

Re: Need German to English translation - HELP

klausisele — 2009-06-11 09:36:35Z

To transfer administrative units from one country to another is in many cases a little bit difficult. Bavaria at that time was divided into several "Kreise" and one "Kreis" was devided into several "Bezirksämter". So you can translate Kreis to district and Bezirksamt to county. In this special case: Rupprechtsreuth, county Neustadt a.d.W.N. (an der Waldnaab), district Oberpfalz and Regensburg.
The military unit is: 3rd squadron, 2nd k.b. (königlich-bayerische, royal Bavarian) cuirassier regiment Prinz Adalbert.
The document itself is a character reference as you say, which you got, if you left the army from active service.

Re: Need German to English translation - HELP

halpark — 2009-06-11 11:21:02Z

Just for interest things like military ranks, divisions, are as difficult to translate as administrative districts. Squadron was used in the British Army until the 18th century when it disappeared into Brigade (two squadrons = one brigade), and was only for the cavalry. In modern (British) English it would only be used for the Royal Navy (a group of ships) or the Royal Air Force (a group of aircraft). In American English it was also used for cavalry but an American Dictionary says it can also be an armoured unit so perhaps it is still used. Originally from the Italian squadrone, a body of men drawn up in a square, I think the slang term "squaddie" for the lowest ranking new soldiers also comes from it - the poor devils spend so much time drilling round the square. Anyway, as said, in this context it is a military division.

Thank you for responding!

Actually, Anseng is important because our this is the ONLY clue to where our ancestor - Henry Fox (NOT Fuchs)- is from! The article stated: "Henry Fox learned of her and took her to his own home because she was from the same place that he had come from."

I was recently told that FOX was used only in a samll part of Germany; while FUCHS is widespread. Fuchs was often changed to Fox upon arrival in the US. Do you have any information on where Fox might be from? The Palatine or Bavaria. Thank you for your help.

Re: Birkenfeld, Germany, abt 1852

otti69fant — 2009-05-06 22:47:28Z

You must know that in a German place name list of 1900 there are 11 places named Birkenfeld and 11 places named Birkenfelde. So at first you must know in which part of Germany your Birkenfeld was situated.
The biggest of all was from 1817 until 1937 part of the Dukedom of Oldenburg though it was nearly 400 kms away from its capital and without a territorial connection to the main part of the dukedom. It was surrounded by Prussia. In those days the churches were responsible for documents of birth, marriage and death. Therefore you have to know the religion (catholic or Lutheran) before you contact any archive. I cannot help with archives, but I think a contact with the church of today will answer the question where documents could be.
For Lutherans I could find an address:
Verwaltungsamt des Evangelischen Kirchenkreises Birkenfeld
Vollmersbachstraße 22
55743 Idar-Oberstein

Re: Sheek

Adam and Jemima are my ancestors also. Tell me more of whose line you're from. Are you from the same line as myself, which is the son of Adam and Jemima, James Wesley Sheek b. 1832/33. I don't get to the genealogy sites often, but read my e-mail more often, but not as often as most...(every couple of months). Terri

Re: Sheek

sonomahome2011 — 2009-05-12 15:12:04Z

Charla/Bill Nulph,
I don't get to my genealogy very often...obviously, but am always, and will always be interested in sharing, of course, aren't we all?
I have alot of conflicting and confusing information, because I've kept anything about everyone having to do with my lines. I've never done the legal papers search. What I have is from Census films, some from sights like this one, and some from my Grandmother, Clara Mollie Sheek (Smith), who was the daughter of Edwin Jackson Sheek and Nannie Azola Honaker. Edwin was James Wesley Sheek's son...
Charla,
Lou Emma! Finally, someone I'm related to!!!
Do you know anything about the brothers of your Great-Grandmother? My Grandmother gave me old newspapers from Colorado. I have the photocopies, which are starting to fade, unfortunately. One of them mentioned that one of the brothers went crazy during the trial of someone. I barely rememeber the circumstances, but I'll try to find the copy in one of the many genealogy boxes I have, don't worry, it's not as LOST as it sounds...I don't get to the genealogy websites often, but I get to my e-mail more often. I'm still working full-time, just bought a home that needs alot of work, and when I retire in a few years will be designing landscapes, so I have many interests/commitments on my time. Genealogy is something that I'd like to pursue after I retire, since it takes ALOT of time, and once I get started, I can continue into the wee hours, only stopping when the growling of my stomache becomes so loud I can't hear myself think. Am I the only one that does that?
I would like to know the personal stories about the relatives that we have in common. Such as the fact that the Sheeks drove on the Chisholm and Goodnight-Loving Trails.
For our line I have a letter from my Grandmothers niece which states the children as:
Edwin Jackson B. 1878; Flora (Easter Flora?) b.1880; Claude b. 1880; Cliffie (female) b. 1881; Wesley Pat b. 1883; Ruby b. 1884; Van (male) b. 1885; Noy (female) b. 1886; Mattie Dora (yep, that's her name...) b. 1887; Hal b. 1888; Fayette D. b. 1892; and Frank b. 1894. But, I think these are the children from John Wesley Sheek's second marriage to Mollie Pate, which I don't think is your line, correct? Lou Emma was born in 1861, so she was from his first marriage... sorry, I'm looking at just a few of the Family Group sheets that I found on the top of a box of genealogy boxes. So you need to tell me what you know about his first wife, Mattie Lane. I wrote down that she was 1/4 Cherokee. I think that my Grandmother had told me that, either she did, or her niece did...whether it is true or not...I also have that she had a twin brother, Alfred. She was born in TN and that she died of a relapse of measles enroute to Leavenworth,KS. I don't have any more info on her or her parentage...do you?
I have Lou Emma as the first of Mattie Lane and James Wesley Sheek's children b. 1861; James Lorenzo b. 1863; Charles Alonzo b. 1867; and William Albert (Tuck)b. 1869.
Charles Alonzo is the one that I have the article about. He had the mentality of a child, and shot himself because of some trial that he had to be a witness to ( as I recall). He was 45.
Charla,
If you're still at it, e-mail me...no rush, I'll be here.
Bill,
Yes, I'm interested in the Sheek book. My Grandmother had said that we were German, and were related to all Sheeks, however they spell it. My e-mail is in above reply. I got as far as the original Schick/Sheek coming to America, and then I hit a wall. Why did they come? From what country (Germany, Switzerland?). Thanks, to all who reply, fascinating. I only wish I could go back in time and meet them all and learn their stories...Terri

This from his military pension record of the Maryland Volunteers. I think he died Jan 10, 1911 but no documentation.

John W. Fox was born Feb. 8, 1863 and he arrived in 1865.

I am looking for information on the families of my grandparents. William Ehlers (Willi Rudolf Julius Ehlers) and Anna Rosa Reinhardt (Ehlers). My Grandfather was from Eimsbuttel, Hamburg and was apparently disowned when he came to the US instead of continuing the family electrical business. My Grandmother was from Dortmund, Germany and was in an orphanage until she came to NY to stay with her brother, Wilhelm in NJ. His wife was Emma and they had three children, Rosemarie, Hilda (NY & FL) and William (NY). She also had a sister, Mitzi. My Grandparents met, married and lived in NYC until later moving to the Lowville, NY area. That is all I can really confirm.

I have found items that lead me to believe that my grandfather's parents was Johann Peter August Ehlers and Gesine Henriette Georgine Meier. Siblings believed to exist but unknown. In addition, I believe my Grandmother's parents were Klemens Reinhardt (died in "the war" and Anna Maria Jurgens.

Anna passed away in 1977 and William in 1995.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated as my father and I have no known living relatives to gather information from and would love to know more about our heritage.

Thanks you so very much!

Ruffmann and Ruffman Family Tree Circa 1890

AlastairRuffman — 2009-06-08 20:55:43Z

Mr. Arnulf Ruffmann's son Burkhard Taggart gave me some information regarding a possible link with my family tree from Eastern Prussia-Lithuania. We do not know anything further back than below.

We know that our great grandfather "Johann Heinrich Ruffman" came from Memmel to England in the late 19th century following his pit prop business. He married Mary Anne Louisa Bourne in Newcastle upon Tyne, England and had two sons "Herman Heinrich Ruffmann" and "Louis Charles Ruffmann". Johann Heinrich Ruffmann died in the Newcastle upon Tyne area on June 8, 1902. Both the sons changed their names during the first World War. "Herman Heinrich Ruffmann" took his mother's surname and became "Henry Bourne" and my grandfather "Louis Charles Ruffmann" just removed one letter and became "Louis C. Ruffman". Louis Charles Ruffman married my grandmother "Gertrude"("Gertie") and the had four children Alan, Edward(Ted), Kenneth(Ken) and Patricia(Pat). My cousin Kenneth Charles Ruffman went to Canada in ca. 1934 to attend university and settled in Canada.

Henry Bourne(ex Herman Heinrich Ruffmann) was born in the Newcastle upon Tyne area on February 16, 1879 and my grandfather Louis was born on March 30, 1880.

Is the name "Johann Heinrich Ruffmann" from Memmel (Klapedia) in ca. 1878 enough to let you fit us into the Ruffman/Ruffmann from the Eastern Prussia-Lithuania area?

"Burkhard Taggart" contacted us. I am not sure how it is that Burkhard has a surname different other than "Ruffmann"? I have presumed that that "Taggart" may be his mother's family name? Burkhard's brother I gather also lives in Overath-Vilkrath - is he a Ruffmann, or a Taggart?

Other areas mentioned are Marktheidenfeld, to the east-southeast of Frankfurt am Main. Im not sure if that is correct. I cannot find the town of "Overath-Vilkerath" on a map of Germany - using Google Map. Should I be looking for a somewhat different name? I do find an Overath about 40 km to the southeast of Dusseldorf. Not sure if that is it.

Other names mentioned Heinrich August Ruffman of Memmel and Joachim Ruffmann from Pillau? Heinrich Gustav Ruffmann ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Alastair Ruffman

Re: Looking for Grunkemeyer, Ostendorf, Schroder

fgprieskop — 2009-06-07 13:44:39Z

In your posting you indicated that you had more information upon Ostendorf family members. I am looking for information on a Johan Bernard Ostendorf and his wife Maria Lange. They were born in the territory of Hanover in about 1810 and 1804 respectively and probably married there in about 1833. They had at least two sons: Bernard H., born about 1834 and Johan Heinrich, born 4 October 1841, while still living in the Kingdom of Hanover.

I suspect that they might be from the area around Voltlage (near Onsabruck) and might be cousins to a Heinrich B. Surkamp and Katherine Elizabeth (Hadtke) Surkamp, both born in about 1828 in, or near, the same village of Voltlage.

Johan Bernard Ostendorf, his wife and at least these two sons, immigrated to America in the early 1850's and originally settled in Cincinnati, Ohio before moving on to Missouri.

Can you help me with any of the above?

Sincerely, Franklyn G. Prieskop

Adam Nicolai and Anna Trapp are my gggrandparents. They were both born somewhere in Germany. Adam was born 14 Nov 1827 and died 6 Jul 1886 in Ohio. He married Anna Trapp (15 yrs old)in Cincinnati in 1842. They had 9 chidren: Nicholas, Catherine, Henry, Mary Catherine, Josephine, John, Jennette, Mary Matilda and William.
Anna Trapp was born 14 Nov 1827 and died 6 Jul 1886 in Ohio.
She had an older Peter. She married Nicholas Marringer
6 Oct 1877 in Ohio.
The story is that he worked on the boats in Cincinnati Ohio and she carried lunches to the workers on the boats and that is how they met.

Re: Need German to English translation - HELP

martin74ger — 2009-06-10 22:58:16Z

Hallo.

the words after "dass derselbe sich waehrend seiner Dienstzeit..." is leumundsnote. You can divide it in two words. Leumund and Note. Note is quite easy, in english it is "(school) grade". The first word means that someone has a good reputation.

What I am missing in the orig. text is something like "verdient hat" in english "has earned".

Bin mal gespannt ob das weiterhilft ;)

I am trying to research my grandmother's family and I have stopped at my great-great grandfather Herman Kroger. He was possibly born in Winterberg (the handwriting was hard to read on the census) about 1838 or 1839. He came to America either 1858 or 1865 (conflicting dates on the census) and married Mary Dolich (? spelling) about 1874. They had 2 children that I know of: Herman A. born about 1875 and Charles Fredrick born 1877.

If anyone has any information on this line of family on the Krogers that they could share with me, I would appreciate it.

I think the name you have, KESLIN, is not complete, I think the right town name is KÖSLIN or KOESLIN, to find in Poland, province Pomerania, very close to the Baltic Sea. Look at first for Berlin in Germany, then nearly go north and you will locate Szczecin in Poland, follow road
E 28 east and you will find KOSZALIN; until the end of WWII named KOESLIN.
Hope this will help you with your research?

Re: Looking for relatives of Alfred Sommer - a bauer in 1943-1945 in Harey village, Foshty region, Compust city in Germany

TarasGlum — 2009-05-19 20:30:46Z

Thank you very much for a prompt response.

I found that Cottbust, Brandenburg is also the cultural centre of the Lower Sorbian minority. So I thought maybe there were/are other (Serbian) or dual names of places in use. To me ‘Foshty’, ‘Fosty’ sound like maybe Serbian, Romanian, or Hungarian.

I afraid you are absolutely right about transliteration, given the county Forst near the city Cottbus is the sought location. From information I was given in Ukrainian that is the only data I can operate with.

There is also Haren town in Lower Saxony, in the district of Emsland, but nothing like Cottbust anywhere close around. There was a Polish Camp and that is very possible that person was working in. She may also be working in another Labor camp, or ostarbeiter camp.

Thanks,
Taras

Anna Medvid (born 1912, Ukraine) lived and worked there during 1943-1945. We know that there were probably two daughters of Alfred Sommer: Maya and Travkin.

Re: Sheek

After I posted earlier, I went and did a Google search for Adam Sheek. I got over 500 hits. Type in Adam Sheek and put the " " around his name (example: "Adam Sheek"). I know most of ya'll already know that, but never know when a new searcher may not. (I found alot of ancestors by Googling that away.) The first thing that popped up was a PDF and it contained marriage index, birth index and etc. also contained the compilers name and address. Ya never know....

Happy searching!

Re: Sheek

OneCrazyTree — 2009-05-15 02:36:35Z

I am posting this for all to see and emailing to you also.

The book is called Charles Goodnight Cowman & Plainsman by J. (James) Evetts Haley. Published in 1949.

This is what I found in the book about Sheek. In 1853 Charles Goodnight's mother married Adam Sheek. Adam Sheek was a preacher.

In 1856 Charles partenered with his step_brother J. Wes Sheek. J. Wes Sheek was 3 years older than Charles Goodnight.

Also in 1856 J. Wes and Charles contracted with Claiborn Varner. Claiborn Varner was J. Wes Sheeks brother-in-law.

That was all that I jotted down about them. I had the book on inter-library loan and was trying to get it back to them quickly.

I did jot down that in 1850 Charles Goodnight (or his mother) acquired a farm northeast of Cameron but later located 15 miles west of Waco between junction of Bosque and Brazos.

I hope this helps someone out there. And if you can find the book, it is an interesting read.

I have been looking for info on my fathers side and found
a few Seidels listed in census records,but that is not
exactly the name I am searching for.Anyhow,I am searching for a Caroline who was the mother of my gg grandfather
and came to America through New York . I have papers from
a historical society that says they went to Delaware,
then to Illinois and then onto Missouri. On my gg
grandfathers death certificate it lists father as unknown,
but the historical society has his father and mothers
name and the fathers birth year and death date,but
nothing about the mothers birth/death.The papers I have
list a Ida and Theresia as sisters to my gg grandfather.
I also have their married names and have a copy of a will
of my ggg grandad that lists Ida as Mary Ida and Theresia
as Tracy. My ggg granfather was in the civil war and had
a brother also enlisted with the last name on the Muster
rolls spelled several ways. I am thinking that the last name could have been spelled Seidel in those days and saw
your message about a Caroline,so thought I would reply.
May I also ask the name of Carolines husband? I have my
ggg grandads death as Sept.18,1883 in Shelby Co. Missouri,
but It is not stated that he actually died in that place
and I have yet to find a death certificate for him. I
thought maybe there may be a connection.

I know he had twin girls. After that, because of the war, we had never heard from them again. My greatgrandfather died when my grandmother (Hildegard) was 5, and my greatgrandmother (Eliesabetha) did not like to talk about it, so we have little information.

Albert Bödderick---This is a relly of mine and the name is often spelled Boedicker and other ways too. Albert was born
27 Mar 1824 in Brensberg, Germany. He was married to Maria Anna Karolina Poehler born 17 Mar 1831 in Glandorf, Germany. They are listed in the 1860 Census in Alabama. The information that I have says that they were married in Glandorf (Zeuge(n), Germany on 24 Jul 1855.

I do know that Theodor was a socialist and an atheist from Berlin which made his young American bride's Catholic family very unhappy! Thank you so much for your help.

Katherine Altmeyer-Schroder-Bankey 1834-1879

Sally2638 — 2009-05-25 11:53:14Z

Katherine (or Caroline) was born in Prussia according to the 1870 census. Her daughter Minnie Schroder-Wadsworth was born in St. Louis in 1860; son Henry Schroder was born in 1862. Son John Bankey was born in Wisconsin in 1867, and son William Bankey was born in Postville, Iowa in 1870. The 1870 census shows her as Caroline Bankey, and the two Schroder children were shown as Bankeys. Another daughter, Tillie Bankey-Ellinghusen, was younger than William. Katherine died when William was 9, so that would have been in 1879 or 1880.
Her first husband's name was possibly Fred Schroder and her second husband was Henry Bankey or Fletcher Bankey.
Does anybody know anything about Catherine or anything else about her family.

Elizabeth Benkard is my 6X Grandmother. She is well documented in my history. But, I just discovered what appears to be her parents: George Friedrich Benkard married to Anne Regstad. Then it states Johan Heinrich Benkard is his father's name. That name is out of Westmoreland Co, PA, in my line, their son: John George, Jacob, Jacob Newton, Clinton, Glenn, and mother Marvis. The source is from a book on Norwegian Immigrants 1600-1890. I am thrilled with this tidbit but I did not buy access to worldwide studies, only USA. Can you carry on? Write.

Hello! My name is Tim Schieltz and I grew up in Dubuque County Iowa. I am looking for my ancestors. While my name is Schieltz now, it was Schiltz when my ancestors came to America. Michael and Maria(Streff) Schiltz and their son Nicholas came to America in 1847. Michael died in 1850 around St. Donatus IA. I do not know the year he was born but I believe it was around 1805. In his probate Peter, or Pierre Schiltz was named guardian to Michael's children. Peter was either Mike's brother or nephew. From his obit it states he was born in Bech Lux in 1830. His dad was also named Peter born around 1804. I was just wondering if either of these Schiltz's were in your Schiltz book? We also have some ties with Caledonia MN. Nick Schieltz's step brother, Nick Wagoner, moved their in the 1890's and his brother WIlliam Schieltz visited there from time to time. My email is tj_schieltz@yahoo.com.

halpark — 2009-06-10 22:29:34Z

Martin,
Gott sei Dank gibt es mindestens einen Fremde der nicht sagen will dass er/sie die Fremdsprache besser kennt als die Muttersprachlerin!! You would not use the word "antique" with relation to language, actually this is quite clear although old, it is just a matter of enough knowledge of the English language to know how to express it, something which will come with practice. I do not know what they mean with Capit: but I think it is probably Latin and refers to the whole person, i.e. his behaviour. Unfortunately I am not very experienced with the old German handwriting and am not sure of the words after "dass derselbe sich waehrend seine Dienstzeit...". If you can tell me exactly what the handwritten words say I might be able to make a better suggestion. Good luck.

Hi I am trying to find information on a man named Carl Diedrich Burkel. He is listed on a birth certificate as marrying a woman named Maria Dusseldorf possibly in Germany. This marriage would have been between 1855 - 1865.
I don't know where, but it was possibly in Dusseldorf or Frankfurt. Maria's last name may not technically have been Dusseldorf, this may be where she was from.
Thank you for your time in reading this.

No other information is known on Hermann or Mary, other than he was born in Breslau, Germany. Otto came to the US by himself on the ship Neckar. I suspect there may have been ssome relation here already but hve no idea. I do not think Hermann or Mary came as their is no mention in any any of Otto's US history. He married in Clinto Co, IL and settled in St. Louis, MO where he was a prominet insurance salesman.

Hi, Nico... So nice to hear from you. At first I was confused by your post, then I looked at my post from 2005. That was an error on my part. Johann Frederich Anspach (1768-1843)was the son of Johann Henrich Anspach, b. 17 Jan 1742, and christened 21 Jan 1742. Johann Henrich was the son of Georg Wilhelm Anspach, b. 8 May 1707 and christened 10 May 1707. Johann Henrich Anspach married Anna Elisabetha Otto. I do not have a death record for Johann Henrich. I suspect his passing took place after Napolean entered the picture. Johann Frederich Anspach was known in New York City as "Frederick Anspake." He does not appear (to my knowledge) in Hans Jung's research... certainly not in his book. I do have a record of most of Frederick's name line descendants. Regards, Scott Fisher

Wisselsdorf in 1888

BGlassel5232 — 2009-04-18 18:08:05Z

My husband's gm Kreszenz ZAHLINGER or ZALLINGER, was born in 1888 in Wisselsdorf. Mullers Gazetteer lists one: "D., BA. Landau a. Isar, s." This may mean "Dorf (village) Bezirksamt Landau a(n der) Isar, see."
Kreszenz was the youngest of 12 or 13; her mother died when she was born. So she was adopted by GREINER & STADLER relatives, who came via Baltimore, MD to WI in Oct. 1892, accompanied by Joseph KLENDER. The last residence in Germany for all was Sattlern or Sadlern.
Does anyone know which map will show Wisselsdorf, Landau and Sattlern? Would Landau be the best place to look for church and civil records for these families, or do I need other facts / jurisdictions first?

Re: Ancestry.de versus Ancestry.com

BGlassel5232 — 2009-04-05 20:11:37Z

Are there existing translations into English of the instructions for using Ancestry.de? The instructions and search boxes seem to be different from the "regular" US Ancestry & US Census, to which I subscribe.

I would like to search the Ancestry.de site to find records for my gggf, Georg REINHARDT, b. ca. 1813 somewhere in Germany, and his wife Elizabeth SCHUESSLER, b. ca. 1816 in Bavaria. They met & married somewhere in NY before 1850, & moved to WI in about 1856 with their 4 sons.

Thanks for any suggestions, Barb Glassel

The legend was passed along to me as "Dettloff", however, legends bend, twist and accomodate local passions. Our family name is Dettloff... so i assume that i why the specifc stuck on our branch... Soem of the spelling varaitions of the family name have shown up as Detlof, Dettlof, Detloff, Detlaf, Dettlaff, Detlaff etc... so that was the direcction i thought i'd try first...

Re: Great, great, grandparents

I have a copy of Joseph Mistele's citizenship papers. He arrived in the port of New York on or about May 1854 with his wife and at least eight children. The family was originally from Solothurn, Switzerland.

Joseph settled in the Sullivan, WI area and is buried in St. John's Catholic Cemetery in Jefferson, WI. His wife, Elizabeth, is buried in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Sullivan, WI.

Just like you, I'm interested in researching the family history in Switzerland. Joseph and Elizabeth are my great, great, grandparents too.

Re: Can someone tell me if this is Polish or German?

I agree Polish left, German (apparently printed in Switzerland) right. Are they from the same book? Page size and font type suggest two different books. If they indeed are from the same book, that suggests the book may have come from an ethnic enclave (eg, German-speakers living in a Polish-speaking area).

Re: genealogical symbols?

cwitze — 2009-04-03 01:20:58Z

I checked three different sources, didn't see any symbol like you described. Ordinarily I'd say the symbols were consistent thruout Germany, but Goerlitz is on the (now) Polish border, and there might have been different symbols there (ie, your rational is reasonable). I would point out that illegitimate children were quite common in that time frame.

Re: genealogical symbols?

cwitze — 2009-04-02 21:01:11Z

An illegitimate birth is usually (*). The plus-like sign is usually associated with death. My best guess is the child was stillborn ("todtgeboren")...that's usually +*, but maybe the pastor was sloppy.

Re: Looking for town of Dettloff in Germany prior to WWI

I presume you mean WWII....Germany was unscathed by WWI. When I lived in Duesseldorf, I vaguely recall a town named Detlof (maybe Dettlof). That area, the Ruhr Valley ("Ruhrgebiet") was plastered during WWII. So you might look in that area (I took a quick look, no luck).

Re: Looking for town of Dettloff in Germany prior to WWI

cwitze — 2009-04-17 19:20:34Z

I just checked a couple of my data bases...no Dettloff (or whatever). I suspect the town is truly gone, or is so small it just doesn't show up [the Google maps are good at finding small suburbs, but you have to eyeball the maps, you can't input Dettloff and be assured of finding it.]

Re: Looking for town of Dettloff in Germany prior to WWI

cwitze — 2009-04-17 19:04:09Z

You might look at some WWII books on the air war over Germany. Hamburg was destroyed, Berlin hit hard along with Bremen, and seaports like Kiel and Rostock leveled. But in terms of square mileage, the Ruhr was plastered. The name "Detlof" sounds more West Germany-ish to my untrained ear....are you sure it's not "Detmold"?

Re: Hildebrand/Hillenbrand/Hildenbrand

GinnyRuth — 2009-03-27 02:57:37Z

The name Hildebrand and its variations are older than dirt. The "Hildebrandslied", "The Song of Hildebrand" is the oldest surviving poem of German epic literature. Written around 800 AD by an anonymous author, internal evidence (names mentioned) suggest to historians it is at least four centuries older. For those of you who hated history, that puts the Song's composition around the time of the Fall of the Roman empire. It was written in two German dialects (Barvarian and Saxon). German, then and now, has many dialects and variations of spelling do exist based on them. For example, helden is "hero," an understandable variation of the vowels. For the text of "our" Song, see http://www.islas.org/DrMcM/english/west_to_dante/Readings/hi...
http://www.best.com/~ddfr/Medieval/Misc_Poetry.html#5

Now our family (if you can call those ancient tribes of 1,600 years ago that) spread over Europe. Our name is recognizably German, but its spelling has been filtered through the spelling of the cultures in which our ancestors found themselves (just like in America!) So we have German dialects, and whole other cultures responsible for our spelling variations. And if you don't believe that our name is strongly associated with Germany, church historians make the point of identifying Pope Gregory VII (pope from 1073-1085) as the "Italian" Hildebrand! And I recently found HILDEBRANSKI as one of several Polish variations.

Pronunciation problems: Hildebrand, Hildebrandt, and Hildebrant and other spellings with d, dt and t endings suffer in translation from German into English. In German, words ending in d are pronounced with a final t sound. In some cases, those Ellis Island people did work phonetically. In some cases, children applying new English to old German spoken at home changed their names in their school records, not always intentionally.
My branch of the Hildebrand clan is concentrated in Northeast Pennsylvania, from Wilkes-Barre to Hazleton. We are from Kleinensee, Hesse-Kassel, Germany. The bulk of the family came over in 1856. We trace our family from Catherine Kehler(or Koehler) and Balthazer Hildebrand.

Clamor Henry Spellman/Germany to OH to IA to NE/1835 to 1860's

Clamor Henry Spellman was my g-grandfather. He came to this country in 1835 thru the port of Baltimore with his parents, Henry Clamor and Margarete Spellman. They settled in Scioto county Ohio and lived there til the early 1860's, then moved to Clayton county, Iowa and then on to Lancaster county, Nebraska. Clamor marred an Elanora Reller in 1847 in Ohio. Their son Henry Clamor Spellman, my grandfather was born in Ohio. The elder Henry Clamor Spellman must have died while they were still in Ohio, possibly about 1850. But,Margarete came with them to Nebraska. Her grave is the first grave in the Centerville Cemetery. Would like to known the town where they came from in Germany and family in Germany. There might have been more family that came with them to this country. I have found reference to an Adolf Spellman and an Eliza Spellman, possibly a daughter to Adolf. Not sure what the relationship between Clamor and Adolf is. Does anyone have connections to this family. Thanks

I believe Frank and Catherine's oldest son William had as many as 13 children. Frank and Catherine also had an Arthur, and a Dora who died young.

I am looking for a Viktor Nachtigall family that moved to Germany with his family, Peter and Gredel Nachtigall in the late seventies from Russia. His maternal Grandmother would have been Liese Hiebert, she was the yougest sister to my Grandfather Johann Hiebert/Huebert born 1901 in Waldheim, S. Russia. He immigrated to Canada in the mid twenties. I have just recently found pictures of this family and would like to get in contact with these relatives. Apparently Viktor's mother kept in contact with my grandparents throughout their lives. Last known address of Viktor's father and mother was 4705 Pelkum Herrigan, Waldenburger, Germany. No contact since the early 80's. Viktor's grandmother, Liese died 7 May 1977. Viktor had a Uncle Heinrich Hiebert and a blind Aunt, Liese. Viktor's grandmother,Liese and my Grandfather, Johann also had another sister Agata who stayed in Russia. Any help in knowing where else to look for this family would be great.

Re: Looking for cousin; child of Robb

KayciLynn — 2009-04-26 18:59:17Z

I haven't been there in a handful of years, but yes, it was destroyed even then. I believe whoever owned the farm (not the current owner; they've not had it all that long) hit many of the stones with a tractor, and was generally disrespectful and uncaring of the inhabitants. I cried when my father and I saw it. I tried to dig up as many pieces of stones as possible, but they were so buried, mangled, and heavy that I couldn't do more than uncover a few to read. I'm not sure how to rectify the situation; perhaps a letter to a historic cemetery preservation group, but I can't find out exactly where to send it. I agree that someone should have to answer for the damage, and I would like to see it restored and perhaps fenced in so as not to obtain any other damage. It's good to know that someone else is as outraged as I am. I was beginning to feel like the only one that really cared about it. Perhaps you'll be able to find someone to write to, if you decide to tackle that issue. Thank you for writing, and for caring about the state of the cemetery as you obviously do.

He was said to have ended up in Colorado where he died in 1902. Is there anything here that rings a bell with your story?

You would have to know EXACTLY where your family came from before you could move forward. Ancestry.com has Siebmacher's Wappenbuch -- "the definitive work on Germanic heraldry".

Re: Coat of Arms in Germany

EileenWilson001 — 2009-04-20 02:52:44Z

Coats of arms (Wappen) were awarded to branches of families -- not to family surnames as a whole. They were unique to that particular branch in a particular geographical area.

It is part of their online databases.

Remagen is in the Rheinland-Palatinate. The federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate was established on 30 August 1946. It was formed from the northern part of the French Occupation Zone, which included parts of Bavaria (the Rhenish Palatinate), the southern parts of the Prussian Rhine Province (including the District of Birkenfeld which formerly belonged to Oldenburg), parts of the Prussian Province of Nassau (see Hesse-Nassau), and parts of Hesse-Darmstadt (Rhinehessen on the western banks of the Rhine); the new state was legally confirmed by referendum on 18 May 1947.

Re: Frantisek Gehbauer

My late father-in-law, Hans Gehbauer, was born in Gross Grillowitz in December of 1890 to Anton Gehbauer and his wife Maria. Anton Gehbauer died about 1897 and as far as I know is buried at Gross Grillowitz. Maria (maiden name unknown) then married John Nowak and moved to Vienna, where she is buried. Hans Gehbauer was an only child after his twin sister died shortly after childbirth. I understand that Maria Gehbauer died shortly before WWII.

Hans Gehbauer indicated to me that he thought all of his relatives on his mother's and father's side of the family were dead mostly as result of WWI or II. I have no idea of anything else regarding Anton Gehbauer's family but am interested because I have two grown sons who have little history of their father's family.

Arrived 1868 at the age of 15, to Wisconsin. As far as I know he immigrated by himself.

Married Susan Goodhue March 31, 1874. They resided a time in Stevens Point Wisc, before moving to the Duluth, MN area.

They had 4 children. Grace Eliza Benesch (1875-1964), Agnes Julia Benesch (1877-1964), Blanche Benesch (1878-1879), and John Edwin Benesch (1885-1898).

Anyone have any additional information on this line of Benesch?

Wolfe

x__kdixon — 2009-03-14 04:37:41Z

My ancestor Mary Wolfe (born 25 Jul 1837 in Germany, died 4 Apr 1903 in Greensburg, Indiana) married Fredrich Hoffman in 1959 in Cincinnati, Ohio. A date of arrival to the United States is given on the 1900 Census as 1954. Also, her obituary states that she came from Germany when she was 17, so this makes sense. Her parent's names were Jacob Wolfe and Mire Keller (Is Mire a German name? Or could this be a transcription error?) They were both born in Germany according to Mary's census records.

I found a record in the New York Passenger list for a Maria Wolf traveling with a Doras Wolf in 1954 coming from Prussia. Her age is listed as 17. I think this may be her, but I'm not sure as I don't know who Doras was. I think she may have been her sister.

Anyway, my Hoffman/Wolfe line has been a huge brick wall for me. If anyone has any information on any of the people listed, please let me know.

Thank you,

You please look in Bavaria for MARKTLEUGAST, that is the right name of the town!
To find on road B 289 between the cities of Kulmbach and Muenchberg.
Both the names you have listed are still to find in Marktleugast, Rödel or Roedel and Korzendorfer.
Open the German Online Phonebook at the Internet: www.dastelefonbuch.de
Into the upper field type the name, into the lower one the town name Marktleugast, names and addresses are coming up for your use.
Good luck,

The correct name of the town where your ancestor was born is Rathstube, State of Prussia, Province West Prussia, governing district of Danzig, county and district court at Dirschau.
Please ask the Mormons for help, it can be they have the old church records and can help you with your ancestry. Braun is a German name.

Laubenthal Family

bllauben — 2009-03-22 15:19:44Z

Hello. I have been able to find the death certificate of Nicholas Laubenthal and his wife, Anna Catherine (both born in Germany in 1829). I have found that his mother's name is Margaret Waldeck. His father's name is one of three possibilities: Jos, Joe, or Job. To view the death certificate for these two individuals, visit http://seekingmichigan.org and search "Laubenthal."

I am wondering if anyone can 1) determine what the father's name is and 2) Tell me where I can go from here to get more information?

Re: Can someone tell me if this is Polish or German?

crazytoffee — 2009-03-13 13:48:50Z

The left text is definitely Polish. The paragraphs are recommendation for Christians - e.g. the second one starts: "Read every day anything religious so that you could free yourself from profaneness and make yourself perform Christian duties..."
The second text is German.

Town of Ratstube- gg grandfather's place of birth

Christopher_Radek — 2009-04-01 14:55:54Z

My gg grandfather, John Braun (Brown) Naturalization records from Cuyahoga County, Ohio state that he was born at the town of Ratstube. The handwriting is a bit difficult to decipher but that seems to be correct. He didn’t sign/write his signature, but rather left his mark. So it might seem that a court official must have phonetically spelled the town’s name and was curious as to whether anyone might have heard of this town or heard of a town that might sound similar. These records are dated 15 October 1888 and at the time was part of the German Empire. The 1900 Federal Census and his son’s, Joseph Braun’s, 1920 and 1930 Census entries state that they are Prussian and that their native language was Polish. Thanks for any assistance that anyone might be able to furnish.

Family names....Asher Escher Lyon Dryer/Dreher....Rheinhardt

wervalhillmann — 2009-03-12 15:17:08Z

I have a number of German forbears...any help/contact welcome. My ggg grandfather was Leon Asher /Escher, born "in Germany" in 1786/1788 (Germany would have included parts of present day Poland) Lyon may have been his mother's family name before marriage. He emigrated with his 2 brothers (one named Jacob) to England &, by 1821, he was living in Nottingham (probably earlier...his nephew was christened there in 1815)

My ggg grandmother, Louisa Rheinhardt (family name before marriage unknown) was born in Lüneburg & emigrated to England with her husband ...probably Karl/Christian....known in England as Charles...& their daughter, Ada, sometime between 1861 & 1871. They lived in Poplar, London, but by 1881 had moved to West Derby, Liverpool.

Christian (he is later calls himself Charles in England) Dryer (possibly, originally Dreher) was born in Berlin, but emigrated to England. He married Ada Rheinhardt & in 1881 they were living in West Derby, Liverpool, but by 1901 had moved to Nottingham.

Thanks very much

Trying to find information on a great great granmother. She was born in Dolitz ( two dots over the o) in 1833. I have found some 'possibilities' in the 1860 federal census. What would have been the name of the state in Germany at the time? The 'possibilities' all have something different, I have seren 'Prussia' 'Hessia' 'Meckelenburg' even 'Germany'. Trying to figure out which might actuslly be her. Any help would be greatlyt appreciated.

Volksdorf Kletrin

phelan32 — 2009-04-04 05:40:11Z

I have been searching for the places of origin for my grandfather's great-grandfather and great-grandmother for six years. I finally found their birthplaces on a birth certificate for one of their children; however, I cannot quite read the city name. To me it looks like Volsdorf Pom (probably Volksdorf)for one and Kletrin, Pom for the other. I assume the person writing the certificate probably misspelled the names.

I have two questions: does anyone have an idea what might be the correct spelling of what looks to be Kletrin? Additionally, is anyone aware of good genealogy sites that I can go to which relate to these two locations? I have tried Google, but most of the information comes up in German. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Kuhlow

PJVA2006 — 2009-04-01 00:05:02Z

We must be related! Are you a descendant of Charles Luis Krueger born Nov 1887 ? I am a granddaughter of his older brother Fredrick William Christian Krueger born Feb 17 1880.

I have lots of old Krueger photos and some Kuhlow photos. It would be great compare and see if we both have the same photos or some different ones.

I have traced the families back to Germany. The Kruegers came from Friedland, and the Kuhlows came from Neuenkirchen. I have a big family tree put together. Yes, Friedrich Kuhlow's parents were Christian and Anna Dorothea Doss. His first wife was the mother of all his children and her name was Christiana Maria Friederike Doss. She died in 1858 with the birth of the last child.

It gets confusing with so many men named Charles Krueger in the family. The grandfather of Charles L. Krueger was Carl Friedrich Wihelm Krueger born Dec 15 1821. His wife was Johanne Friedrike Karoline Freund born Dec 31 1820. She was called Caroline. They emigrated and lived in Nankin, Michigan. They are buried at Glenwood, Wayne City. I looked for their headstones but couldn't find them.

Any way, I have lots more to share. You can e-mail me directly if you like!

My great-great grandmother was Bertha Carolina Augusta Lubnow and was born in Szczecin (Stettin?) in the Polish Corridor about 1866. She had possibly three brother, Franz, Hermon and ? as well as sisters, Martha and Maria. Martha was the only sibling born in England but the only sibling to marry a German, named Otto Petschelt. Bertha C.A Lubnow's father was August Lubnow born 1838. Bertha married Henry Harris and had 7 children, two dying in childhood. Her children were Raphe (my great grandfather) Edwin( Edward?) Alfred, Nora and Beatrice. Alfred had a son, Lord John Harris, who had two children, one a daughter named Deborah. If anybody has any information about any of this names or places, myself and my grandmother Bertha Catherine Harris (Raphe's daughter) would be delighted to hear it.

I am descended from Henry and Mary Pisor who settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and then migrated to Butler County, Pennsylvania, where they lived until their deaths in 1841 and 1839 respectively. As I'm sure you know, it was one or more of their sons who then migrated to MO. Their son Michael stayed on the home farm in PA and I am descended from him, my maternal grandmother being a Steintorf. I have never been able to find anything about Henry and Mary prior to Westmoreland in 1790. Please share the information you have. I will share documented information on Henry if you would like it.

Re: Turk - ancestors who emigrated from Germany to Poland

collageman — 2009-03-22 01:09:54Z

This is a late reply....but relatives on my mom's side came from Gostynin. Their last name was Brautigam but I do not know when they arrived in Gostynin from German - but by 1893 at the latest, when my great grandparents were married. But they were somehow related to the Eichlers - three of whom (Friedrich, Anna and daughter PAuline) came to the US from GOstynin. Fred came in 1913 and ANna and Pauline in 1923. I see there were Eichlers in GOstynin going back to the early 1800s. I belong to the Society for German genealogy in Eastern Europe. THis is where I fund the Eichler trail and also on this website. www.sggee.org

Re: genealogical symbols?

kiminOhio500 — 2009-04-03 00:22:35Z

Thanks for your reply. I know this particular child came to the US, the dates and everything coincide. The reason I suspected the illegitimacy is there is no father listed- and there is another child on the same page with the same symbol and no father listed. This was 1849 in Goerlitz, I don't know if different areas could have different symbols? Also, I got the parents marriage cert which lists 29 Apr 1850 for their marriage, and another child was born 4 Aug 1850! Actually I was quite surprised by this, at that time period.

genealogical symbols?

kiminOhio500 — 2009-04-01 21:18:35Z

I just received records from Goerlitz, Saxony for my DRECHSEL family. On the birth of the first child, there is a unique symbol, it looks like a plus sign with a line across the top, that's the best way I can describe it. Could this possibly be a sign of illegitimacy? It seems from marriage records that the wedding took place a year after this child's birth, and there is no father listed in the father column.

Germany Death Certificates & Wills

Esprit64 — 2009-04-08 20:52:39Z

Hello: I have been advised of an estate matter involving a recent death of a relative in Germany. Apparently, our family is listed as an heir in the right of succession. Unfortunately, we only know the woman's name. We absolutely have no other information (no former address, no death certificate, no copy of the Will).

A firm has contacted us, claiming it will help file necessary papers for a fee. It seems that if this estate matter is valid, there should be a central German database that houses recent death certificates and Wills filed.

Does anyone know what the German authority is that I should contact to obtain copies of the death certificate and Will? Thank you.

Re: Germany Death Certificates & Wills

Esprit64 — 2009-04-09 11:51:37Z

Hello. Thank you for your response.

I'm afraid that I do not know where this relative died. A German firm contacted me recently, claiming that a German estate exists designating my late father as an heir. Somehow, they tracked my father down through me.

If this firm can come across "an" estate, and knows the contents of the Will, enough to find my father's name then track me down in America, where did this firm get their information from?

Also, is there no listing of local registrar offices in one place?

Thank you for your time. It is sincerely appreciated.

Re: Germany Death Certificates & Wills

Esprit64 — 2009-04-09 17:47:24Z

Dear klausisele: You've given me some great information. Again, thank you for your time, it's appreciated.

Re: Germany Death Certificates & Wills

Esprit64 — 2009-04-09 14:51:47Z

Yours is the first question I asked when this firm initially contacted me. Their name is HOLLGER, www.hoellger.de. They are not requesting money, but want a signed contract to be paid 25% of the inheritance if they arrange my collection.

I was surprised that they gave me the name of the German estate involved. I haven't returned contact yet. I've never been involved in such a situation, I have been researching how estate matters are handled in Germany. It seemed to me that if this firm got ahold of a name in a German estate and was able to track down my father who left Germany in 1926, never to return, surely I should be able to do the same thing.

Since writing my first message, this German woman may not be an aunt, may be a niece or nephew of my father's, I don't know. My father never spoke of his family, I have few details.

I cannot find a single source that lists all Standesamps or all Probate Courts. Without such a list, how can I determine whether I've contacted all to find the death certificate and Will I need? However, it occurred to me that this firm that contacted me is doing what it's doing for profit. I don't see them working their business without a more efficient method of finding and working information.

I doubt that the firm would give me further information about the decedent involved--wouldn't that be their way of keeping information close and thus make me compelled to hire them?

In America, we have a Better Business Bureau, that reports on business practices. Is there an equivalent of such an organization in Germany?

Nonetheless, I am going to ask them today. We'll see what I can find out.

Klausisele--thank you, I appreciate your time.

Any Bleschke surname researchers???

veranmiller — 2009-03-31 16:14:11Z

I was wondering whether anyone here was researching their Bleschke surname. My great-great-grandmother Marie Auguste Wilhelmine Bleschke was born in Schwiebus, Poland, to Ferdinand Oswald Bleschke and Auguste Emma Bergemann in 1861.

I assume the family came from Prussia (now Germany) with a name like Bleschke. It's not Polish. My great-great-great-grandmother Auguste Emma Bergemann also has a German name.

I am hoping to go back more generations on my Bleschke line.

Re: Migration to London

NicodeJong — 2009-03-29 14:26:52Z

Dear Cyril,
I got 1 year ago via an Anspach relative of me a document from James Ernst Woods in which he describes the Sobernheim Anspach - London family. I found in that document also your name. This London part fits very well in the Steinbach - Monzinger - Sobernheim Anspach tree. From the data of Hans Jung that he gathered between 1958 and 1986 I do have today much more details of the Sobernheim Anspach tree, back to Ambrosius. Also the Johan Balthasar part is becoming completer, via the data of Mike Spaulding (grandson of Donald R Anspach) and Yvonne White. My grandfather and Hans Jung communicated a lot in the 50th and 60th with Donald R Anspach. Since 2 weeks I am in contact with Debra Persson from Australia. She is still trying to connect Phillip Julius Anspach (Cooper) born in Germany 1809/1815 - died London BEF 1861 to an Anspach familie in Europe. Phillip Julius had 2 sons Jacab/Jakob and Frederick. Jacob, born 1835/36 Germany started as a bootmaker in London and went to Australia in 1882. Frederick was a baker in 1881 in Camberwell, Surrey, England, born 1837 Germany.
Do you have more information about this Phillip Julius and Frederick and do you have more data about the Sobernheim - London Anspachs, than what was published in the booklet of James Woods? I noticed that there are a lot more Anspachs in the UK, did anyone tried to get an overview of these?

Re: Migration to London

NicodeJong — 2009-03-29 13:39:32Z

Scott,
Many thanks for your reply. I would be very interested to connect your branch to the Sobernheim Anspachs. I miss that part completely and indeed in the published data of Hans Jung (1958)and in his later research work this Johann Frederich Anspach (=Frederick Anspake) doesn't occur. I received last X-mas all the research work of Hans Jung from his son Hans Dieter Jung, it cost me 2 month to update all his data into my source document. Hans did a lot of additional research for the Steinbach-Monzinger Anspach in the hope to discover a connection between the branch of his wife, the Schwabenheimer Anspach and the Monzinger Anspach. Unfortunatally he didn't succeed. He died in 1986.
Please contact me via nico.de.jong@bench.com so I can send you more data. Regards, Nico.

When were you there? When did the railroad go through? Please help me. There are only 5 or 6 headstones left on a bare knoll in a bare field and I don't know what happened. I want someone prosecuted. I am so upset.

Re: Looking for cousin; child of Robb

calderoneh — 2009-04-26 21:16:20Z

There now is no more anything. Just a bare knoll in a bare field. The trees and vines are gone. Earthmovers had to have torn down the entire hill. all that is left are 6 headstones piled together on top of a bare hill. My family and I are outraged. It had been probably the late 1990s when i was there last and it was overgrown wooded viney and the stones many were lying flat but I knew them all by heart. and there were several at that time still upright-the monuments for Nancy Robb and Moses Robb. Ther is a new railroad spur and I am suspicious that CSX had something to do with this but whoever is responsible I will find out and my family and I will see something done. We are contacting every official we can find. My aunt Shirley was mayor of Princeton at one time and my aunt Joanne (Jack's widow) knows everyone since he was in politics. was there woods still there when you were there or was it a bare treeless hill then? I am trying to establish a timeline. I need to talk to the folks living in the old Robb house on the corner but Friday I was in shock and could just cry. My email address is calderoneh@yahoo.com. If you want to email me. Are you related or just interested in history. I have the entire genealogy becasue my mother worked on it for 20 years as did other family members. I would like to hear from you.

Joseph Vollmer / Carl Vollmer / Rosine Dreher? /

tanyahill1973 — 2009-05-01 06:03:02Z

Hi Everyone, I am trying to find any information on a Carl Frederick (Friedrich) Vollmer born about 1832 possibly in Wittenberg. His father was Joseph Vollmer and his mother was Magdalena. Supposedly he left from Hamburg aboard the "Arago" to Australia in 1857, although I am yet to find confirmation of this. I am also looking for information on Rosine Dreher? (not sure of the exact spelling other variations listed are Dreyher, Drayton). It is rumoured that she was a housemaid for the Vollmer family and had two small children one name Carl Christian born 1855. Rosine and Carl Frederick wanted to marry but the family wouldn't allow it so they both left and came to Australia were they married and had many more children. Rosine's father is Michael Dreher and her mother is Catherine Barbara? Schmidt (again not sure of the spelling of Schmidt and mother's middle name is listed on Rosine's death certificate as Baraba? not Barbara I thought maybe this was a transcritpion error). If anyone has hear of this family or can help with anything please please let me know.
Thank you very much in advance
Tanya.
Hallo allerseits, ich bin auf der Suche nach Informationen über ein Carl Friedrich (Friedrich) geboren Vollmer über 1832 möglicherweise in Wittenberg. Sein Vater war Joseph Vollmer und seine Mutter war Magdalena. Angeblich soll er von Hamburg aus an Bord die "Arago" nach Australien im Jahr 1857, obwohl ich noch zu finden Bestätigung dieser. Ich bin auch der Suche nach Informationen über Rosine Dreher? (nicht sicher, ob der genaue Schreibweise andere Zulassungsänderungen sind Dreyher, Drayton). Man sagt, dass sie ein Hausmädchen für die Familie Vollmer und hatte zwei kleine Kinder einen Namen Carl Christian geboren 1855. Rosine und Carl Friedrich wollte heiraten, aber die Familie würde es nicht erlauben, so dass sie auch nach links und kam nach Australien waren sie verheiratet und hatte viele Kinder. Rosine Vater ist Michael Dreher und ihre Mutter ist Catherine Barbara? Schmidt (wieder nicht sicher, ob der Schreibweise von Schmidt und der Mutter Mitte ist auf Rosine Tod als Zeugnis Barabinsker? Nicht Barbara Ich dachte vielleicht war das ein Fehler transcritpion). Wenn jemand hören dieser Familie oder mit etwas Hilfe wenden Sie sich bitte lassen Sie es mich bitte wissen.
Vielen Dank im Voraus

This is possibly Gerhardt Louis Kornrumpf, born June 03, 1857 in Gross Lengden, Hanover, Germany,which is just outside Goettingen. I went to the city archives there and found a Louis Kornrumpf in the 1875 address directory but didn't see any records of his moving away or moving back to the city.

I found a Louis Kornrunts (born c. 1859) in the 1895 Kansas State census. He was living with Bertha (age 19) and John (age 5). That's probably the same person.

There's also a Louis Kornrumpf listed as a godparent on a baptism certificate I have for Albert Pappe, son of Richard and Louise (Kornrumpf) Pappe. The baptism took place in Newton, Harvey County, Kansas, on August 26th, 1883.

Kaduce Family

skaduce — 2008-12-08 15:29:12Z

Hello :) I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with my husband's family. They go by "Kaduce" now. The grandparents being Ervin Donald Kaduce (2 May 1918 - still living) and Verna Gordonna Grupe (13 Sept 1921 - still living). I'm doing okay on Verna's mother's side, but not so good on the father's side.

However, the big issue that I'm having is on Ervin's side. The name Kaduce seems to have changed over the years. Ervin's parents were Claus Kaduce (20 Jan 1888 Iowa - 29 May 1966 Blue Earth, MN) and Jeanette Haas (3 Oct 1893 - 30 May 1963 MN).

ANY help on this Kaduce side would be greatly appreciated!! I know they're originally from Germany. Possible last name spellings Kadoes, Kadoce. Not entirely sure. I have found an old IA census showing possible father and mother Tayze and Detgen Kadoes, but I'm not sure if this is his parents (plus the census reports tend to get spellings wrong). I really need some verification on his parents and ancestors.

Thanks much,
Sandi

I found the Schladers that settled in Idaho in Huttington so I was taking a guess. If you see a ship let me know if you want you can e-mail me at rodeo2ndgen@hotmail.com

Schloeder, Schleder ect..

rodeo2ndgen — 2008-12-10 21:57:39Z

I am looking for a Barbara Mary "Libbie" Schlader. I am told that her last name in Germany could be Schleder, Schloeder ect. I think she came from Huttington, Germany but have no clue. She was born around late 1850's early 1860's. She lived in Iowa in around 1888 when she married her husband Joesph McCarville. I think some time around 1895 she and her husband moved to ID to follow her family. But I can not find anyone that connects to her in the genealogy records. Please any info would be great

Foight - Brockenheim County?

syljun — 2009-02-26 12:46:02Z

I have been trying to find out where John Foight was born.He came to U.K. presumably from Germany. unfortunately the only Census he was on was 1841 which stated Foreign Parts for birthplace. John died 1850 before 1851 Census where birthplace was more exact. 1841 Census states 65yrs old making birthdate 1776. His Death Cert states 78yrs so birth 1772/1776.Occupation Baker and Confectioner.
Trawling Message Boards I have noted a John George Foight of Iwinsbaugh Brockenheim County, Wurtenburg Kingdom, Germany left for U.S. in 1823.
My question is would it be reasonable to presume several Foight families living in Wurtenberg and may give a connection to my John Foight who was incidentally a Methodist same as the U.S. John George Foight. I would love to make a connection. Would there be any lists of passengers of ships leaving Germany about 1778/1800. My John married in U.K. but cannot find a marriage but 1st child born 1805. Any help on this matter would be very much appreciated. Syljun

You might try US military records (pensions, Social Security death index, etc)...they might have his last known address.

Re: German Census?

cwitze — 2009-02-05 02:11:59Z

I don't think so, with a few exceptions (eg, in Danish-controlled Schleswig in the 1800's). Privacy laws generally prohibit this.

Re: Baptismal Record

Did you write to the Army, both in Heidelburg and Washington? There's a chaplain's office (of some type) in both places. Phone books and Google should get you to approximately the right place, and your letter would be forwarded (eg, the Heidelburg CO would forward your letter to his chaplain).

Wilhelm....many thanks,I was not familiar with Ancestors in German Archives. I have used Myers Orts, and would buy a copy, except it's expensive. I speak a bit of German (I used to live in Düsseldorf), so a book in English isn't necessary (but it is easier!). Thanks again, I appreciate you sharing your researching secrets. Tschüß, Chris

Re: birth certificates

cwitze — 2009-01-01 22:45:47Z

If there is a census, it's not available to the public. Civil birth records may have been replacing church birth records at that time; any civil records would be at the Rathaus, and the church would have any church records.

I found this on a paper from my great aunt and I was wondering what it meant? It looks like the n in the middle could be a v.

Thanks

Can someone tell me if this is Polish or German?

Kalischkowitze and Grasvitch?

hodagmike — 2009-01-19 20:48:57Z

I am looking on immigration records and am trying to locate some birthplaces listed but I am unable to find them in German-Poland (Prussia).

The two places are Kalischkowitze and Grasvitch or Gravitch?

Does anybody have any idea where these two places may be or what they might be called now? This was from 1908 and I understand a lot of names of places changes after the two World Wars.

I have attached to immigration for in question. It is for Sowinski/Nolda on line 15-20.

Thanks for your help

Re: Storch - Weimar, Germany to WI

paulphillips727 — 2009-01-19 19:45:35Z

OOPS....I meant Henry STARK and he married Tryphena GLASS. I am positive of the spelling of Tryphena. Have seen it on backs of photo's etc. I've seen it spelled some bizare ways but think Tryphena is correct.

If you want the names of their kids I can look that up for you.

Hi,

My source for the city of Weimar came from a Naturalization document on Christopher Stark (Storch). There is a story that the Storch brothers came to the USA...on the run....from what, I don't know. German officials came looking for them and they denied who they were. They are said not to have talked about their homeland. Have you heard anything like this? I don't know the spouses names, do you?

Re: Kopschina name in Germany

nkopshina — 2009-01-22 23:16:38Z

My relatives were born in Neunkirchen, Alsace in the 1860s and 1870s. Mary Tazhia (b. abt 1849) and Herman Kopschina (Jun 1849) had three children: Jakob Herman (b. 13 Jun 1866), Henry (b. May 1870) and Mary (b. Feb 1878). I believe that they emigrated to the US in the early 1880s. First they were living in Baltimore but moved to New Jersey as you can see from the census.

I found the other Kopschina's in Germany on familysearch.org and would assume that they are related also since this name is not very common. Thank you for the interest and for responding!

Kopschina name in Germany

nkopshina — 2009-01-22 00:35:00Z

I'm looking for any information on the surname Kopschina or Kopshina in Germany, specifically in Oppeln, , Schlesien, Preussen or Alsace-Lorraine. My relative Jakob Herman Kopshina was born there in June 1866 to Mary and Herman Kopschina. He also had a brother Henry J. Kopshina born around 1871. Any help is appreciated greatly!

Re: mathias Heib

Babs1954 — 2009-03-08 18:01:25Z

Mathias Heib was my great great grandfather b. 1857 in Germany. He married Anna Parkinson in 1879, they had two children Annie b 1880, who was my great grandmother. She married Edward Pallet they had a son Arthur.

Their son John b. 1882 I presume is your great grandfather.

Adolphus b. 1890 could possibly be a son from a second marriage of Mathias Heib and Mary Donovon.

Regarding Mathias the only information I have is from the 1881 and 1901 census. In 1901 he was in St. Saviours Royal Infirmary, London. I have not been able to trace anything else at this stage. Would you know if Mathias emmigrated to Australia?

I've recently discovered that Heib is an usual name in Germany and there were many Bakers that came over from Germany.

I've always understood that part of the family went to Australia, but know nothing of this though, so I'd love to hear about the Australian side of the family as I believe I was named after somebody that emigrated.

I will keep searching and would love to hear from you.

Lynette.

Re: Remscheid, Rengsdorf, and Suhl

kathygtucson — 2009-01-04 09:42:06Z

Hi Fritz, Thanks for the information. Do you know I can find record in Suhl and Rengsdorf for research? I know it will be hard finding and thing about Wilhelmine because I don't know her maiden name. I do know she supposedly married to A Bocker and they live in Luttringhausen where my grandfather, Ernst Bocker, was born in 1878. I been told that Mr. Bocker died in an accident.My grandfather changed his name to Triebel after moving to the USA. Wilhelm had two brother Valentin living in Remscheid, it's listed on the passenger list and Robert living in South Dakota. I guess I've ramble enough. Thank for the help. Kathy
