In Essex County, looking for four PHILIPPI sisters and a brother who immigrated around 1885 from Alsace to NYC then to Newark in around 1895. The sisters were Carrie/Caroline m. Jacob/Jacques EHLINGER; [First Name Unknown] m. KOENIG; Filomena m. Fred MARX; Katherine m. Alfred FRANK; Anna m. Albert COMTE. The brother, Sepp, probably never married. All of the sisters had children. Katherine died in 1936 in Belford at the Jersey shore and was probably the last of these siblings.

I recently found out that the great grandfather of my children was born in Mayaquez, Porto (Puerto) Rico about 1889. His name is the same as his father, John Frederick Philippi. The father and mother, Annah Trautvetter, were born in Germany. I heard that his family had a sugar plantation in Puerto Rico.

He was married Sept. 18, 1918, in Maine to a descendent of the Mayflower families, and as far as I can tell, they have always been Protestant. On the marriage application, the father was living in Leonardo, New Jersey and his occupation was listed as “merchant”, and the mother was dead. Also, he was working for Great Northern Paper Company. John and his first wife were divorced after a few years, and I heard he had other children from a second marriage who lived in New York.

I would appreciate any help.

My maiden name is Trautvetter. My Grandfather was Fredrick Trautvetter, His Grandfather was Valentine Trautvetter. Could you tell me more about Annah Trautvetter? I would greatly appreciate

Unfortunately, I have no further information on these folks.

Hi,

I also have Trautvetters from New Jersey. I don't know about Annah but here is what I have

Rudolph Trautvetter m Maud Meiby c1863

Frank Trautvetter (b 1864) m Mary Lemmermeyer (b 1863) 14 Feb 1888

Mary Trautvetter (b 15 Sep 1888) m Otto Brauner (b 1883) m c1910

Let me know if any of this connects

I have information on a Anna Marie Trautvetter Brauner(1888 to 1977) Also Frank J. Trautvetter who changed his name to Black 1892 to 1973. They were my grandfather's siblings along with 10 others belived to be children of Valentine Trautvetter. Other children were my grandfather Fredrick Valentine Trautvetter, William Jackson Trautvetter, Eddie Trautvetter Black(Also changed his name) Katherine Trautvetter Dodd 1893 to ?, another Anna Trautvetter Trotta 1895 to 1979, John Charles Trautvetter 1897 to1983, Bernard Trautvetter 1900 to 1989, Peter Trautvetter 1901 to 1996 and Theresa Trautvetter Farley 1906 to ?. I do have some contact with cousins sprend all over. I am trying to find out who Valentine Trautvetter's wife was. I believe that most of them were born and raised in Newark, NJ which has not been easy to find out information from county or state.
Hope this helps and let me know if you find out anything more. Thanks again

Mary Barbara Trautvetter is my Great Grandmother. Hi cousin.

I have a birth certificate for Mary, it is 15 Aug 1888. Her parents are listed as Frank Trutefetter and Mary Lemier. They were living at 157 Charleston Street.

I also have the marriage certificate of Frank and Mary. They were married 14 Feb 1888.

The witnesses were Charles Lemmermeier and and some Trautvetter that I can't read.

Do you have a GEDCOM of the family information. I'd be willing to share what I have also.

You can check out my web site also for additional information.

I live in Oregon, so not very close to New Jersey at all.

If you have a GEDCOM I'd love to get a copy of that, or for that matter from any type of computer system at all.

Hi cousin did you get my Email? I am not that great with sending Email. I did call LouAnn in Newark she has alot of information on the Trautvetters. She lives and works in Newark,NJ and can get to the many hall of records. We were wondering if you live in New Jersey? I have pictures of my grandfather with his brothers I am sure LouAnn has more because she got to be around the family more than I did. I hope you can send me a copy of the marriage and birth certificate you have. I would be glad to pay to have them sent. I think it is great you have them. I have very little of both sides of the family. I do have info given to me by my brother tracing the family to germany. We found people on line who sent us the history of Trautvetters I would be glad to send it to you. It is too much to send I line.

Hope to hear from you soon
Your cousin Carol
