Re: looking for cousins

sab54 — 2009-10-04 12:17:55Z

I'm not related to this family.. I found a old pic of Ernest & Sterling Merryman, of Utica, born about 1909 & 1912. In my search to find a decendant to pass this photo to, I did some digging and figured out their ancestors..

Sterling married Helen Stroetman, daughter of Hannah Stroetman. Helen was born in Egg Harbor. She had a brother, Harry, who died in Atlantic City in 1926. He was a linesman and his belt broke and he broke his back..

Would like to know more about the Stroetman line.. Think Hannah was married to William who was a constable in Egg harbor.

I also wanted to just reply that Henrietta Schubert, wife of Charlie was my great grandfather's sister. I see they were married in 1870, do you have any dates, birth, death and or places of information on them.

My great grandfather August Schubert married Anna Schepler on 2/13/1885, do you have any dates or information on her also.
my info says Anna was daughter of John Schepler.

Hello,

I am researching Johann Christian Schacht. Do you happen to have any information regarding their children or grandchildren? I'm trying to connect find proof that he was the father to Hans Schacht 5 Oct 1777.

I'm new to this and probably going about it all wrong. Forgive the newbie question, but how do you get the parish records, and how do you know which one to get? Are there other German records to look at? I've just searched on this site.

Thanks,

My Ginap and Schutt relatives are from Minzow Mecklenburg. In birth records in the early 1800s, we see the father, the mother and three other people listed. They look to be relatives. It would help me immensely to know if there's a particular order, or any other information.

Help with occupation

eapauk — 2009-10-21 02:03:58Z

I have attached a file with a record for my ancestor Hans Rieck of Gaarzerhof, from the Alt Gaarz parish book. Can anyone help me read the occupation? (the second word) It looks like "Der Händer" to me. Is that an occupation? I haven't found it in my dictionary or any lists.

Thanks so much!

Re: More help with old names

eapauk — 2009-09-29 02:04:43Z

Thanks, Lambendsor! Someone else suggested it might be Ilsche as well. I thought it might be that, but the first letter looked like a "J" to me and I didn't want to make a mistake. I'm glad to have some backup!

Thank you so much!

Gundlach Family From Mecklenberg Vorpommern to Illinois

Kristen_Darling — 2009-10-19 11:55:03Z

My mother was Barbara Ann Gundlach, only child of Burton George And Margaret Andrea (Olsen) Gundlach. My grandfather was one of the eight children born to Louis Otto and Anna M. (Olsen) Gundlach in Illinois between January of 1908 and 1920. They are as follows:
Martha 1908, Edward L. 1910, Howard O. 1913, Kenneth 1914,
Willard 1915, Louis Warren 1918, Burton George 1919, Lavergene Emily, 1920.
My ggrandmother Anna died on 22 October 1946, Louis Otto Gundlach married again in 1954 in East Moline; his second wife was Edith Francis Wade, and there were children (his/hers/their's, I know that there was an adopted or foster son.
Louis Otto Gundlach died on 11 October 1964 in East Moline,
He was survived by 7 of his ten brothers and sisters. His daughter Martha and his son Howard who had both moved to Los Angeles, would also both pass before the end of that year.
My ggrandfather, Louis Otto Gundlach was the second child and oldest son of Fritz/Fred and Jennie Lilly. Fred a coppersmith, immigrated to the United States in 1881 from Sukow Ritterramt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Germany he was naturalized in 1890 in Chicago. He married Jennie Lilly, who was born on 22 October 1864 in Ohio. Her father was an immigrant from either Ireland or Scotland. Her mother was of Norwegian descent. Aside from my ggrandfather Louis Otto Gundlach, they had nine other children, They are as follows;
Emma 1886 Missouri, Louis Otto 1887, Minnie in 1889, Jennie in 1891, Charles in 1897 in Wisconsin, Fred Ferdinand Jr. 1899. Willaim in 1902, Amanda in 1903, and Josephine in 1907. On the 1910 or 1920 census, (Sorry, doing this from memory...) they also had a cousin named Violet Gundlach who was about 12 years old living with them. Fred died 6 Dec 1946, Jennie on 11 Aug 1952.
Fred's mother was Sophie, you can find her on the 1867 Mecklenburg Census. Ten at around that time, Fred was living with his mother, his two sisters; Sophie 1856, Friederike 1851, and brother Willhelm 1862. His father isn't listed, and I don't yet know what happened to his other siblings
Martha Gundlach had two daugthers, Lorraine in 1928 and Doris Mae in 1929, Her married name at the time was Hansen. II don't know his first name, but in the 1930 census, Martha was living back at home with her parents and her siblings and her two children. Martha would marry again and her married name was Bodishbaugh. She also would migrate to the Los Angeles neighborhood of Torrance, and that is where she lived out her days, passing away in December 1964,
Edward was married to Mildred in or around 1929, they were both 19 and living with Louis and Jennie in 1930. I remember Uncle Eddie and Aunt Millie, but cannot remember if they had children or not. Uncle Eddie died sometime in the later part of 1977 or begining of 1978, shortly before my mother passed away in October of 1978. I think that Mildred moved to Florida,and then I lost track.
Howard married Sylvia, and he also like Martha migrated to the Inglewood neighborhood of Los Angeles, they had one daughter that I know of, Ann Marie. Howard passed away on 21 December 1964 in Inglewood.
Willard married Florence, and I believe that they had two or three boys? They stayed in Illinois, visiting Uncle Willie's brothers in sisters in California from time to time. Uncle Willie was still alive at the time of my wedding in 1992, I believe he passed away between my wedding and my grandfather's death in 1998.
Kenneth stayed in Illinois as well, settling in Cicero area, I always thought that he looked like Fred Astaire,I don't remember him being married, or having children, but I could be wrong. He passed away either shortly before Uncle Eddie, or shortly after, in the year proceeding my mother's death.
Louis Warren married Ramona and had three girls, Bebe, and twins Bonnie and Connie, I don't know much about them.
Louis also lived in the Los Angeles are before moving to the River, and then to the Cathedral City area of Palm Springs, He passed away there in 1995.
LaVergne who was the baby of the family, and a favorite of mine and of my mother, married Robert John Dunklau, and they also migrated to the Los Angeles area, living first in Torrance where they raised three girls, and then in Stanton where they lived two doors down from my grandfather and grandmother. LaVergne passed away in July of 1974 and Robert eventually went to live with his oldest daughter in Oregon where he passed away in 1987. That leaves Burton George Gundlach, born 23 Jun 1919, married his childhood sweetheart Margaret Andrea Olsen on 23 August 1940, My mother was their only child. They migrated to California when my mom was around 12, Living on 112th in Inglewood, they would eventually move to Orange County, Oceanside, Yucca Valley, and finally Joshua Tree where my grandmother passed away at home 30 October 1997. My grandfather didn't make it a year with out his Margaret and passed away on 4 October 1998 in Torrance.
Coming full circle back to my mother, Barbara Ann was born on 18 April 1938, She married a young marine named William Burns on 23 July 1955, they had two daughters me in 1967, and my sister in 1969. Barbara Ann (Gundlach) Burns passed away in Bellflower on 23 October 1978, she was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Cypress, Ca on 26 October 1978.
I married in 1992 and have three children 15, 14, and 2.
My sister has no children.
I have a lot of Gundlach information that I am always willing to share, and I love to find my "lost" family members. If anny of this sounds familiar to you, or you have any questions I might be able to answer, or if you know more about the family in Mecklenburg, please feel free to contact me.

Baum Family

randomness876 — 2009-10-21 02:30:43Z

I would like to find information about my g-g-grandfather Louis Baum, who was born in 1868 in Germany and emmigrated to New York in 1885. Louis was married to Bertha Lippman (born 1869,emmigrated 1889). They had 2 children, Irving and Jeanette.

I believe, but am not certain, that Louis was the son of Joseph Baum and Amalia Mayer. I'm not sure if they ever came to America.

Re: Mecklenburg-Vorpommen Ancestors

jennifer_dust — 2009-09-27 17:39:37Z

I see that this post is quite old now, but while searching for my own family, I came across this post listing Johanna Maas. I do have a little bit of information on her, but based on DUST family lookup.

She had married Fredrick Dust in about 1850 in Mecklenberg. They had 3 children, Gustav (b: 1866), William Theodore (b: 1854), and Martha (b: 1870). Johanna Maas was born abt 1826 in Germany and passed away 14 Jan 1889 in Detroit, MI.

Do you have any further information on Johanna Maas? I have been trying to find when she immigrated to the US (I am assuming sometime after 1850). Any info will help, thanks.

Re: Who are the three other people listed in German birth records?

Lambendsor — 2009-09-29 11:06:13Z

Are they not the godparents?

At least my people from Schleswig-Holstein usually had three godparents. Most of the godparents I've been able to identify were relatives or friends - and here and there one of the parents was also a godparent of their own child.

I don't think there's any significance to the order, but I'm willing to be corrected!
