18th Century emigrants to America

robertgillisnj — 2009-06-23 21:59:11Z

Is there a book containing records of emigrants to America in the 18th Century similar to Werner Hacker's Auswanderungen aus Reinpfalz und Saarland im 18 Jahrhundert and 8 other books on aother erman areas?

Rohllman

oldmcs2 — 2009-06-21 23:46:49Z

My family Jacob Rohlman was born 1838 in Alsace, Strasbourg possibly. He immigrated to Houghton Co. Michigan 1851-1865.
Married Elizabeth Martin and raised a family and died there in 1918. On his death cert. his father's name is Laurence/Lorenz.
Other people doing his line say he had a brother August born 1840 in Westphalia. He immigrated to Kingman Co. Kansas and died there in 1930. On his death cert. it states father is Gerhardt. ?
Would appreciate ANY help.

dfd12_1 — 2009-06-21 05:10:58Z

Hello,
It has been a while since you put a post on Ancestry.com. I have been trying to locate any family still alive in Alsace region. My family name is Duchene and Manville was my grandmother's maiden name. Although my father said he was born in Marseilles France 10-29-1909, we could find no record. He said he grew up in Alsace Lorraine region. I am trying to find out if there is any record of Louise Manville marrying Louis Duchene...maybe from 1890 to 1909? Can you direct me in some way in getting this information?

Thank you
Denise DuChene

I'm not really sure. I don't know alot of information.
I know my grandfather is William ?conklin? Schlernitzauer he lives in Earlville. His father was Charles schlernitzauer who was married to edith conklin they also lived in earlville, Ny at least in the end. I believe he was a barber at one time. His father was also charles schlernitzauer, I don't remember if his wife was Jessie or marguerite. I will look into my records at home and see what I can come up with. Thank you so much for offering your help.

Re: Edward MEYER m. Maria Anna HEINIS

Howdy!

I've got a Therese Rosenblatt (b. 1815) married to Josef Meyer (b. 1820) in my line. Josef is the grandfather of the Edward of this message thread.

I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but Edward and Maria Anna's marriage license is signed by a _______ Rosenblatt. The handwriting is atrocious. This would be January 1904. When was Ignatius mayor?

It's funny you mention Ontario; when Edward and Maria Anna emmigrated, they lived in NYC for a couple years and then moved to St Catharines.

Does Therese sound familiar at all? (Does any of this? :p)

I descend from the Rosenblatt's of Helfrantzkirch, lol. Have done quite a bit of research already on them--one of my Rosenblatt ancestors was the mayor of that village, Ignatius Rosenblatt. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

Re: Wissembourg Census 1836 Lookup

geniejom — 2009-06-08 15:29:34Z

I found a Joseph Deny listed in Vol II of the Emigration Book.

Joseph Deny
Birth Year: 1815
Birth Place: Reichshoffen
Emigration: 01/01/1835 to America
Source: 1

Source Legend: Military conscription lists of the Canton Wissembourg, from the years 1830 to 1870. The year of immigration is only the year when the emigrants already have left Alsace. It can be they migrated many years before that date.

In the same Vol:

Ferdinand Baus
Birth year: 1837
Birth place: Reichshoffen
Emigration: 01/01/1857 to America, carpenter

I did not find Joseph listed in the 1836 census and if he is the one you are looking for, then he emigrated before that census was taken.

My suggestion to you is to order the film through the family history center nearest you and go through the films. There is a wealth of information to be had for you. In 1815 (and through to now) the civil records are forms (fill-in) and are easily read in French. Prior to that is the challenge as they are in German Gothic script. There are many people who can help you with that.

I looked the census over again for you and Frances (or any variation of) Denny is not listed. I have Denny/Deni/Deny in my tree, but they are from Croetwiller and Trimbach.

Parish and Civil Records

geniejom — 2009-06-08 22:46:01Z

I am sorry I was not specific for you. The records I suggest you order are the Civil and Parish Records for Reichshoffen to see if your family is there in that village. Since you have the birth dates of George's children they would show up in the civil records, then you can trace the family back. You would most likely also find the marriage record for George and Frances, which would state the village she is from. The records are very easy to transcribe, and there are help sheets that the family histories put out for you to translate from French to English. I see so many people on this list that have the villages of origin, but are so hesitant to order the films. Its not really that difficult to decipher the French language. The civil records are pre-printed forms that are filled in, starting 1815 forward. The German Gothic script is more difficult and you would most likely need some help with those records.

KOHLER, SAUNDERS, MOUNT VERNON, USA

thedevilridesaducati — 2009-06-07 00:07:53Z

I am hoping to learn more of and share information on Amelia KOHLER, nee OFFERGELD and her daughter, Mrs S M SAUNDERS, of Mount Vernon, New York, USA.

Amelia Kohler, nee Offergeld, was probably born in Aix La Chappelle, now called Aachen, Germany, around 1806-1811. She married Charles Kohler, a merchant tailor with businesses in Dublin, Ireland and London, England.

Sometime after Charles died in about 1856 Amelia emigrated to Mount Vernon where she lived with her married daughter, Mrs S M Saunders, at South Fourth Avenue, Mount Vernon. Amelia died in 1897 and her funeral service was held in Trinity Church, Mount Vernon.

If anyone has any links to any of these families I would be very grateful to hear more. Thank you.

I know that in France there were Gamels in Lorraine, in the departement of Moselle. But if you want to undertake any research, it would better to know firstly if the research must be done in Lorraine or in Hanover.

Re: Wissembourg Census 1836 Lookup

chrislee189 — 2009-06-08 13:05:44Z

Thanks! Do you think she might be under the name of Francoise or Francisca? She did use the name Francisca on a later 1880 census in Philadelphia. She may have had a brother Joseph Denny (b.@1818). He is listed in on the 1870 Census living with them. Whether he is a brother, I do not know. Do you know if there are any later emmigration records for George Baus and Frances Denny, with children Helen(1850), Alphonse(1851), Eugene(1852)? They emigrated about 1855-1856. I read some messages from this board that talk about an Alsace Emigration Book.

Best Regards,

Re: Wissembourg Census 1836 Lookup

chrislee189 — 2009-06-08 16:42:21Z

Thanks for your help! These are the only documented facts I have which are believable and why I'm searching in this locale for clues:

George Baus was born 23 Apr 1823 in Alsace.
Frances Denny was born around 1821 in France.
Joseph Denny was born around 1818 in France (possible relation).
George and Frances are married and have three children in France:
Helen Baus is born around 1849 in France.
Alphonse Baus is born 11 Oct 1850 in Reichshoffen.
Eugene George Baus is born 25 Feb 1852 in France.
George Baus arrives from France and petitions for US citizenship in 1856 in Philadelphia.

I don't know if the parents are from Reichshoffen, but at least George is from the Alsace Region.

So I should order the 1836 census on microfiche from LDS Family History Center? Is it worth getting the Alsace Emigration Books?

Wissembourg Census 1836 Lookup

chrislee189 — 2009-06-07 19:57:03Z

Hi,

I understand there is a 1836 census for the town of Reichshoffen, Alsace. I was wondering if anyone had any information or could do a lookup on a George Baus (b.1823) or a Frances Denny (b.@1820). I have only that a son of theirs Alphonse was born in that town in 1851, so I'm hoping the parents might be located there.

Merci Mesdames,

Je ne connais pas une ville ou un autre endroit pour ma famille en Alsace. Je ne connais que le nom du bateau (Tyger) et la date de la voile, de Rotterdam à Philadelphie. (Novembre 1771) Existe-t-il une source de l'émigration des dossiers de la voile?

Les noms de Johan Caspar, Jacob, et Heinrich sont allemand ne sont-ils pas? Ma mère semble croire qu'ils venaient de la région Alsace. Nous n'avons pas d'autres noms de famille, les dates ou les lieux.

Merci,
Sara

Re: jean françois

Sara_Noonan — 2009-05-28 13:50:44Z

Ma famille est la mère de Lorentz. Nous soupçonnons qu'ils mai être d'Alsace / Lorraine. Johan Caspar Lorentz (né vers 1755) est l'ancêtre qui est venu aux Etats-Unis en 1771. Il a navigué sur le Tyger de Rotterdam à Philadelphie en 1771. Nous ne pouvons pas faire un match en Europe à ce jour, après plus de 35 années de recherche. Mon francophone est pauvre et je utiliser un traducteur web. Si vous pensez mai il ya un lien, nous aimerions discuter avec vous de comparer les dossiers.
Après Caspar est venu à Philadelphie, il a été un serviteur Indentured pour 2 ans, puis a vécu dans le Lancaster, Pennsylvanie domaine. Ses descendants ont émigré vers le comté de Upshur, en Virginie (Virginie de l'Ouest est devenu plus tard) et a obtenu une parcelle de terrain d'être nommé Lorentz, West Virginia

Merci,
Sara Noonan

My mothers family is Lorentz. We suspect they may be from Alsace / Lorraine. Johan Caspar Lorentz (born about 1755)is the forefather who came to the USA in 1771. He sailed on the Tyger from Rotterdam to Philadelphia in 1771. We can not make a match in Europe so far after over 35 years of research. If you suspect there may be a connection, we would love to converse with you to compare records.
After Caspar came to Philadelphia, he was an indentured servant for 2 years and then lived in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area. His decendants migrated to Upshur County, Virginia (Later became West Virginia)and was granted a plot of land to be named Lorentz, West Virginia

Thank you,

You do know that Europe has strong privacy laws and information less than 100 years old may not be released (unless deceased).

FYI, Ludweiler and adjacent villages have had their records published in ortssippenbucher. The one for Ludweiler is on microfilm and can be rented at your local LDS Family History Center.

BTW, Ludweiler is in Saarland (previously Rheinland), Germany. Although adjacent to Lorraine, France (not Alsace), it is a separate state and separate country and is served by its own message boards and mail lists. You would be better served to post your queries there.

I am looking for any information/connections to these 2 families. Emile Fritz married Carolina Grau, probably in 1890's (son Henry was born 1896). Only information that I have found is that Emile was son of Georges Fritz and Marie Ann Gsperle.

If you have time could you tell me about the area? Temperature to what people do for a living etc?

Hi Pauline,
I haven't seen her name in our geneology yet. that doesn't mean it's not there. How many Werly's could there have been in Alsace. The ones I can find are from excuse the spelling I don't have time to look it up)Pffenbraun in Alsace. My email is bobbiewerly@yahoo.com and we live outside of Las Vegas, Nevada at a goldmine. I'll try to relook through things and give you more Werly's to talk to. My husband Tony's side moved to New York in the 1850's and from there his line moved out west to California.

Hello Juanita - I have done further research regarding Schall, Frey, Becker, Keller <> families from Bas Rhin, (Alsace) France.
I found property ownership of my Keller ancestors in Wintzenbach on file in the archives in Strassbourg. Our source had Isidore emigrating to Seneca County Ohio, and we had no further record to St. Louis as you indicated. I can send you what information I have for Schenck and Frey descendants. I have lots of information regarding Regina Schall's parents, siblings and descendants as well if you are interested.

Alsace Emigration Book Lookup Please - 1840

sanarnold — 2009-05-15 18:37:18Z

Looking for village origin of my Arnold ancestors.

Emigrated 1840 aboard ship Caroline from LeHavre and arrived in Port of New York on 20 July 1840.

Manifest list is as follows:
J Arnold, 42 Farmer France
E Pfasfahl (hard to read - this must be his wife Elizabeth) - 46, female
J Arnold, 18, male
M Arnold, 16, female
E Arnold, 12, female
G Arnold, 9, male

Father would be either Jacob or John as would the son J. The wife E and daughter E are both named Elizabeth. I do not know who the M, female age 16, is. The youngest male, G, is George.

Jacob, wife Elizabeth and son George are in Rochester, Monroe County, New York in 1850. The son Jacob is also there with his wife Barbara and two children.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for responding to my inquiry about Jeremiah Collins born in Alsace (or Lorraine), France on June 10th, 1834. Could you please tell me what was going on in France at that time? I have read that France and Germany were constantly fighting for territory. Was the Alsace and Lorraine area part of France or Germany at that time?

Also, my Jeremiah may have been born "Germain" or "Gerymiah" Collins.

Please let me know if you can shed any more light on the subject. Any information is greatly welcomed.

this is an old posting but I just learned that my Great Grandfather came from Kiffis. His name was Joseph F schmitt born in 1862 and came to America in 1887. His father was also Joseph and mother was Madeliene and I hear both Blind and Brandt as a maiden name for her. I am somehow related to both the Rolls and Gubry's from that area. Camill Roll and his children lived in the area my grandfather settled and Albert married one of my great aunts or maybe cousin: Elizabeth Eyman. Any help you can give me, even just pointing me in the right direction is appreciated.

He immigrated before 1850, with his wife Phillipine and possibly some of his children. His daughter Louisa was born in 1840: some censuses have her listed as born in France/Germany, some have her born in New York. She married Frederic Guillaume/William Wittmeyer in 1857 in Pennsylvania. She has a brother named Frederic Cassel (or Kassel), born in 1838.

Re: Winters in Bremmelbach

Yes, and thanks for the census record, which I did not have. Her birth record says:
1815 March 14, No3., Dorothee No last name in margin. Daughter of Catherine Winter.
Declarant is "sage femme jure" translates "wise woman swears" age 75 years (soixant quinze if 60 + 15 = 75)living at Cleebourg Professions is given " sage femme jure" (Note possibly the midwife?? Note her grandmother Eva Walthers first son born in Cleebourg in 1787, maybe it was a grandmother, friend from there)
Father is "inConnu" unknown.
Mother is Catherine Winter living at Bremmelbach, legitimate daughter of Jean Winter, Mason of the community ….(looks like a few words before Bremmelbach.
The childbirth was at the house No 31 (no street given here or on other records).
The Witnesses were Martin Winter age 28, farmer, and Jean Winter age 26, farmer, both of this community. The Officer of the civil stated that signed the declaration is Johann Winter.
(Note: Catherine would have been born about March,1815-June,1793=21 yr, 9 months.Johannes was the name of Catherine's father.) Note, other documents are signed by Winter, who must have had some official capacity.

Re: Winters in Bremmelbach

I am trying to sort out whether my Catherine Margaret Winter, b 6/8/1793 daughter of Johannes Winter of Bremmelbach and Eva Walther of Kleebourg married Maurice Hettinger. Catherine/Margaret Winter had an illegitimate daughter, Dorothea Winter b March 14, 1815 in Bremmelbach.

Re: Winters in Bremmelbach

DorothyShannon99 — 2009-04-18 16:36:30Z

THANKS! That solves a puzzle. She was living with him as servant/employee and having his children--and probably because they were catholic he couldn't re-marry. I have 4 children listed in the birth or death registers as born of this couple, but none of those are listed in the 1936 census. I expect they died young. The one I really want is my ancestor Dorothea Winters born in 1815 to Catherine Winter and possibly Maurice Hettinger, but the record doesn't say. Her marriage cert. in 1838 in Bundenthal to Peter Jochum lists her as illegitimate and her monther, Catherine Winter now married to Joseph Schlick. Maybe I have the wrong Catherine Winter. I appreciate your help.

Duchene - Graber

dfd12_1 — 2009-05-25 15:12:11Z

My father grew up in Saarland, he was the son of Ludwig Duchene and Luise Graber of Ludweiler. They had a daughter Else Duchene, married to Julius Wilhelm Heil and later married Johann Nikolaus Neufing.
Their son Hermann Duchene married Johanna Kunkel of Ludweiler. Hermann had a son Werner Duchene who is still alive and has married Luise Feid of Volklingen.

My father is Ludwig Peter Duchene of NY, USA. and I am trying to locate any living relatives. In particular Werner Duchene. If anyone has any information, that would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I found this information from the geneology of Nikolaus Duchene in 1670. Evidently he fled to Ludweiller during the Prussian War. (not exactly sure)

Any information will help.

dfd12_1 — 2009-05-25 14:58:00Z

I am looking for information about the descendants of Luise Graber and Ludwig Duchene from Ludweiler, Saarland.
In particular offspring of Hermann Duchene and Johanna Kunkel. I understand their is a son Werner Duchene born 1936 in Homberg/Saar and married Luise Feid. I would love to reach out to him.
Also, Hermann had a sister Else Duchene from Ludweiller. I learned Else married Julius Wilhem Heil of Dudweiler and then later married Johan Nikolaus Neufing in 1948 from Geislautern.
I believe my father to be Ludwig Duchene - brother of Else and Hermann, born October 10, 1909. I knew him has Peter Duchene. I knew that he had a father Louis (ludwig?) and a mother Louise (Luise) and a sister Else and a brother he called Jacque? I know that he grew up in the Alsace Lorraine Region.I know that Jakob and Peter were names used throughout the Duchene genelogy..in fact almost all the Ludwigs were Ludwig Peter. I would presume that either his middle name was Peter...or he was called Peter to separate him from his father..the older Ludwig.
My father came to America in 1928 at the age of 19 on the boat - Munchen. He was to stay with his uncle Wilhelm Duchene....who would be the brother of Ludwig Duchene Sr.
I understand that Wilhelm died in 1936.

If anyone has any information on Werner and Luise Duchene or of Hermann and Johanna Duchene - or Else Neufing...I would be very appreciative and would love to hear from you.

Family here say he was Born 1-16-1820 near Strasbourg, France. Some census say Germany others say Switzerland. Mother was Marie father was Joseph. They always said in the Alsace Lorraine area. I have been searching for info on him for 30 years with no luck. Do not know of siblings. Came to USA around 1845. Family was Catholic. Thank you for any help you can provide. Kathy

Roman Catholic Seminaries in 1840

kieda_1 — 2009-05-14 16:47:39Z

I am looking for Roman Catholic seminaries that would have existed in France around 1840-1845. I don't know how old they would have had to be to enter. My ggrandfather studied to be a priest but found it was not his calling. He came to the USA around 1846. His name was Marcel Kohler/ Edward Marcel Kohler. Parents Joseph and Marie. I don't know of any siblings. he was born in either Switzerland or Germany, as both are listed on census info. I have been trying to find info on seminaries forever with no luck. Any information will be appreciated.

1836 census lookup

Javet and variants in Bas Rhin

2009-03-05 15:26:01Z

I am searching for the town or Parish in Bas-rhin where Hippolite (Hyppolite, Hipolite) JAVET (Javete, Javette, Javett,Jaret, Jabet, Jauvat, Javais) came from before he arrived in new Orleans, louisiana, USA. His first born son was born in April 1855 at which time Hyppolite Javet stated he was 25 and a native of "the department of Bas-Rhin, France"
His signature is very legible on three birth certificates of his children.
If he was 25 in 1855 then he would have been born 1829-30.
He was Roman Catholic oR the religious bent was from his Ireland born wife.

Hyppolite Javet was in the Confederate Army. Some of his Civil war record is under the name of Hippolite Jaret. He died on 9 Jan. 1863 in the Marine hospital in Vicksburg, Mississippi. He died from one of the many diseases that were the scourge of soldiers in both Armies.He was with the 1st Lousiana Heavy Artillery Co G which had tis cannons set up to defend Vicksburg from attack by General Grant of the union Army. Hyppolite became ill before Grants major attack and died before Vicksburg fell on 4 July 1863.

So, anyone researching "J's" in Bas-Rhin, please keep an eye out for Javet and variants and the reasonably unique given name.

Thanks and evryone Please be safe, Helen Mc

Fürchhausen - World War II - 14th Armored Division

jomello36 — 2009-02-05 23:09:02Z

I'd like to make contact with families in the village of Fürchhausen who housed U.S. GI's in January 1945. I'm doing some research for my father's 48th tank battalion of the 14th armored division. The division history doesn't talk much about this battalion's short time (probably a week or two while in between battles) in that village. I've been in contact for many years with veterans of the 48th but they don't rememer any family names.

My father stayed with a family in Fürchhausen for a short time and I'd like to find the family or descendants of the family. Unfortunately I don't have a name, just the time frame of January 1945.

Thanks for thoughts & comments,

Joanne

Re: Nicolas (Nicholas) Hoffmann in Alsace

ValorieCowanZimmerman — 2009-02-16 21:57:08Z

For all European research, you must have a village name, or at least a small region with a few villages, because that is where all the records are kept! There are few to no departement, county or region-wide censuses or other general surveys such as our US Census records. So, you must do your American or Canadian research, before trying to "jump the pond" back to Europe.

Have you found the naturalization applications? Often the first and second application contain much more detail than the final certificate. How about obituaries, in particular those published in small local newspapers, church publications, or German or French newspapers? Many of the old newspapers are available on microfilm. For a more thorough discussion, see: http://genweblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/european-research.html

Re: Alsace Lookup Request: Amann, Kinninger

geniejom — 2009-02-09 16:41:47Z

I did not find your Joseph in the 1836 census, but there are Amann's in Stundwiller. Since you know where he is from I would suggest you look for your nearest Family History Center and order the civil records (1793- 1882) for Stundwiller. The civil records are very easy to read and you could most likely go back another one or two generations. There are Catholic records for Stundwiller too.

Re: Stosskopff

geniejom — 2009-02-05 00:47:27Z

Hi Dave,

First, I figure 23 Germinal year 5 to be 23 March 1796. This is Napolean's calender which was in effect for 15 years. You might be able to down load this information from the LDS website or just google it.

Have you tried to see if your family came through Castle Garden? You can find this site: castlegarden.org

I have in my family tree a Catherine Stoskopf, b 1875, d/o Theobald Stoskopf and Christine Barth, married in Perth Co, Ontario, Johann Richard Esch/Ash. At least one Esch/Ash line also left Perth Co for Iowa, but not this family.

Re: Alsace Lookup Request: Amann, Kinninger

geniejom — 2009-02-09 17:01:04Z

Hi Mary,

Yes, there are Amann's in Stundwiller. The civil records are pre-printed forms, that is, people filled in the blanks. There is a French "cheat sheet" you can down load from the Mormon web site that has all the important words for you to transcribe in French. It is not hard to figure out. If a person was from another village it will state so in the records, which could lead you to more exciting places. Also, the people at the Family History Centers will help you. Also, down load the German sheet as well.
Good luck in your next exciting endeavor.

You can find a listing of them on my home page http://www.eissler-pool.de

Re: Haasinndeiful, Hassendeufel, Haszinnteuful, Hussendaifel

My great-great-grandfather was John Nicholas Haas. I just recently was told that his surname was Haszinnteuful (pronounced Hoz-inn-toy-full). That he came to America from Alsac-Lorraine when he was 17 years old. He was married twice; first to Mary Margaret Meisberger in 1857 and his 2nd marriage was to Mary Helen or Mary Helena Schnebelt. Between the two marriages there were 25 half-brothers and half-sisters. John Nicholas and Mary Helen Schnebelt are my father's grandparents and my great-grandparents.

They left Alsace-Lorraine and Prussia before the war. Nicholas (John Nicholas) was a school teacher and a cabinet marker. Researched, the family was Jewish and turned Catholic.

Does any one have any information of these two names or how I could attain them? I know members of these families immigrated to Texas and Lousiana?
Though consulting the census records available, I'm trying to piece together any information about Francois Degeorge who was born in France circa 1836?
His wife Caroline Testard Degeorge was born between the years of 1850-1853 depending on what census is used for information, places of birth are likewise inconsistent. Testard was Caroline's maiden name. Some census records indicate Texas in 1850, while others state, France. Caroline's mother (no name known),was born in France, Germany or just Alsace-Lorraine, (depending what country had control of that area at the time). Does anyone have any advise how I could follow up with more extensive research to locate any more information about these possible ancestors of mine? Thank you!

She married Michael Roth (son of Peter & Margrett) in 1888.
She & Michael had five children that lived: Louisa, Henry, Edward, Charles and William.

How can I trace her back to Alsace? I'm not sure when she immigrated or who her parents were. Anyone able to help?

Re: information to Unternehr

nix4uns — 2009-04-16 01:45:10Z

An Emile UNTERNEHR was born in Buhl, Haut-Rhin, France on 6 July 1863. Emile had 5 brothers, all born in Buhl: Mathias UNTERNEHR, born 24 Feb 1862; Bernard UNTERNEHR, born 24 Jul 1865; Richard UNTERNEHR, born 20 Apr 1867; Charles UNTERNEHR, born 18 Dec 1868; and Philippe UNTERNEHR, born 10 Dec 1870. They are the sons of Jean UNTERNEHR (born Buhl 10 Feb 1836) and of Catharine UNTERNEHR (born Buhl 13 Feb 1833). My Grandfather, Bernard, came to the USA in 1887. Emile came to the USA shortly thereafter, but Bernard and Emile never met in the USA. Emile corresponded with Bernard for a couple years, then we lost contact with him. The last we heard from him, Emile was working in the granite quarries in Vermont, USA, about 1890. When Emile came to the USA he left a wife and maybe a couple kids in France.

Alsace Immigration Book Lookup-GRASS/GRAFS

starbuck20 — 2009-04-08 13:28:55Z

Greetings,

I am searching for information on Philip GRAFS (or possibly GRASS) and his wife Catherine, both born abt 1807 in Alsace, France. Their daughter, Louisa, was also b. in Alsace in 1843, they had at least three additional children born in Illinois 1845-1852. They first show up in the 1850 census in DuPage Co., Illinois. Subsequent DuPage County census records list their surname as Groff (Graff), Grass, and finally, Gress.

It appears they may have come the U.S. between 1843-1845. Would you please look this family up in the Alsace Immigration Book?

Thanks!

In Cornelia Schrader-Muggenthaler's Alsace Emigration Book

Stundwiller), but misspelt as Standweiler.

Emigration date is 06/18/1836.

Re: Stosskopff

rohchar — 2009-02-04 22:33:04Z

Hi,

there are only 3 Michel STOKOPFF born at Ingenheim between
1793 and 1862 :

1) Michel STOSKOPF, born on 23 germinal Year 5,

2) Michel STOSKOPFF, born on Sep 7, 1818,
son of Jacques STOSKOPFF and Marguerite LEMMER,
died on Sep 13, 1818

3) Michel STOSKOPFF, born on Oct 31, 1821,
son of Michel (nr 1) and Eve HOHL

Later had 2 other children :
Eve, born on Apr 10, 1819,
Thiebaut (=Diebold), born on Jun 13, 1828.

If your 1828 and Ingenheim comes from Cornelia Schr.-Mugg.
Alsatian Emigration Book, you should be aware that
1828 is neither Michel's birth date, nor his emigration
date. This means that Michel's name appears on an
emigration list, which lists emigrants from 1828 to 1837,
and that the real emigration year is unknown (=not
on this list).

In this list, Michel is listed as a family of five.
The only family which applies is this family :
Michel STOSKOPFF / Eve HOHL, and 3 children Eve, Michel
and Thiebaud.

There is no STOSKOPFF/HOHL marriage at Ingenheim, so
Eve comes probably from outside.

Could Catherine LOBSTEIN be Michel junior's wife ?

Michel senior (nr 1) is son of Johann Adam STOSSKOPFF,
born at Pfaffenhoffen and Brigitta LICHTENBERGER.

regards,
charles

Re: Stosskopff

Hi Dave,

I skipped a 4th Michel STOSKOPF.

4) Michel STOSKOPFF, born on Oct 3, 1822,
son of Jacques STOSKOPFF and Marguerite LEMMER.

> Can you explain what 23 Germinal year 5 means?
I looked it up kind of - looks like 12 Apr. 1796?

It is 12 April 1797.
First day of this republican epoch was Sept. 22, 1792.
First Spring in 1793. Fift in 1797.

See :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_Calendar

In Vol 2 of Cornelia's Alsatian Emigration Book, there is
one Michel listed, from Wasselonne, born in 1827,
emigration in 1847.

I ran into the Boutellier name while I was in an Irish shop and they had a book with family names going back to the Norman Invasion! I am related to Theobald. In the book, though, it's listed under the name of Butler. His name and all the sons' names were correct and the dates were right, so I assume it's the same name. You might be able to find more information regarding that name under that spelling.

Re: Griesbach ALSACE

Teague_L — 2009-02-26 15:12:41Z

I am not a Mallo descendant, but came across a case listed as a Melchior Mallo descendant in compiling comparative data for my maternal line's J2a2 yDNA. I'm a professional archaeologist, and so have gotten into running cluster analyses, etc., on my family data. I thought you might wish to know that the Melchior Mallo descendant in my database clusters very closely with a subgroup of J2a2 that is Jewish in origin. Reasonably close matches with Jewish individuals are very common within J2a2 because the subclade has its origins in the Near East and is ancestral to a number of ethnic groups there. For example, many Kurds are J2a2. The common ancestry is often long before the establishment of any known religious identity in SW Asia. However, the Mallo case clusters very tightly with the European Jewish examples, even when a high (67) number of STR markers are considered. I gather that the Mallos of Alsace have not been traced back earlier than Melchior. The Mallo surname is, as you doubtless know, more common in Spain than in France, or anywhere else. You might wish to look at the possibility that the family were conversos. I wish to be clear that I'm not trying to claim that I have definitive proof of anything, but I'm just passing along something that might be of interest and worth following up.

These are in the Wissembourg District on the 1836 Census. Does anyone know if Marguerite shows up? Her name was also sometimes Stoll or Stohl.

Ferdinand PFEIFFER, b.? died about 1818 in Bundenthal. Married Catherine KRAEB.

Jean Henri PFEIFFER, married Eve Marie DAIPHI IN Schweigen.
Daughter Catherine PFEIFFER married Philippe Nicolas GRIMM in 1775.

Philippe PFEIFFER born 1817 in Salmbach. Married Catherine BARTH in 1811. Two children, Catherine born June 1, 1852 in Weiler and Regine born Oct. 16, 1854 in Weiler.

Re: gittere family

jimida64 — 2009-02-24 06:20:30Z

It appears that Anthonoy Gittere and Catherine Lankes are the parents of your Joseph. Your Joseph is the only one I have listed for 1876/1877. There were many siblings(at least 5) in his family who did not live longer than a day or so. I do not have his information other than name in my records. I do know that I can check the St Ann's Roman Catholic Church records at my local LDS or downtown library for you. All the Gittere children of Anthony and Catherine where baptised at this church. I see a Joseph (Abt 1877) listed in the 1880 census with Anton and Catherine Gittere.
I have info on the other children in that census except their daughter Catherine.(though she could be one of the daughter's he mentions that became Fransican nuns but he has no birth names for them) I will double check for you. He did use the St. Ann's records for much of his research.
In the meantime, any chance you could scan me a copy of the photo you have of Joseph and Maude? I have many many Gittere photos that are not identified. It would be great if one were of your Joseph and Maude. jimida@roadrunner.com

Thanks so much!
This is the correct family!
Stephan {Etienne} had a brother Jean Pierre Waechter born Apr, 12, 1810 in Uberach.
Stephan was also a mason by trade.

My name is Chris Hettinger and I live in Louisville, KY. A distant ancester (4th cousin once removed) was able to track a good number of the Louisville Hettingers back to Oberotterbach, Keffenach, Birlenbach, Bremmelbach. She traced them to the spelling Hedinger (Joseph & Elizabeth). If interested in more info let me know.

I know this is a long shot, but is there any possibility that your Kropf's could be related to my Knopf's from Neubois, Bas Rhin, France? My husband's gr-grandparents were Georg Collin & Magdalene Knopf, of Neubois.

There are a tremendous amount of Collin/Colin/Collins lines in Alsace. I haven't researched Lorraine. These are 2 different areas of France.

Try www.Geneanet.com

Re: Ludwig from Alsace Lorraine - Ludewig / ludvig / ludwick / etc

njroutt1 — 2009-04-09 20:00:07Z

I research the Collin's in my husband's line and there is an Odile Ludwig, married to Felixe Vees, both born in N.E. France, at Neubois (Alsace, Bas Rhin). Their daughter, Melanie Vees (born Neubois d. 1931), married Emile Collin who was born & died at Neubois (b. 1884 d. 1956)

I would guess Odile (Ludwig) to be born approx. 1820-1860.

I have had some time to reflect on your answer to my posting. I have been looking for several years for Joseph and Mary's places of residence. I also have an old photo which is of either Michel or Joseph where they are wearing some type of uniform. I will send you a copy.
Also there is a John Kirchhoff born 1859 who also settled in St Louis. He also has a father named Michel with his mother unknown. I wonder if he is related.

Joseph and Mary were my mother's grandparents. The information I have is from that provided to the undertaker, by one of their daughter's So it could be in error. They differ on the birth date for Mary (Anne Marie ) by one day. I would by in your debt if I could find anything on them and I would be glad to share what I have. I am fairly sure that I have Mary's passenger manifest but am not sure about Joseph. He came first and then sent for Mary and 2 of the children. Please contact me at stevecla@dishmail.net

Re: Stosskopff

dwfetherston — 2009-02-05 23:24:26Z

Thanks Charles! I'm not sure that is my Michael, but it certainly is close to the right time.

Do you happen to have Jacobs birth and/or a Valentine Stoskopf or Stosskopf born around 1800 in Ingenheim. I have an old family story about 17 children of a Valentine who was Catholic; some became priests and nuns and others became Protestant (probably Lutheran at the time). I have not seen a Valentine born before 1805 in the US, so I assume he stayed in Alsace or in Canada.

Re: Stosskopff

dwfetherston — 2009-02-04 14:56:25Z

Thanks genijom,
I found the film IDs yesterday and will order one or more to start with.

I hope to find Michael Stoskopf B. 07 Nov 1822 there as well as his wife Catherine Lobstein b. 1829 and his brothers (and perhaps sisters).

With this family it is fairly difficult to keep them straight as their names are common among their cousins and they seem to have followed common emigration patterns (Alsace > Perth Co. Ontario > Winnesheik Co. Iowa).
Michael, Theobald (Diebold), George, John, and Valentine are all used by multiple families. I am trying to sort them out in the US pre-1900. Afterward seems a little easier due to more records.

After finding Michael and his brothers and perhaps cousins, I guess I'll try to sort them out in Canada as well although that means renting more film or paying for the World account at Ancestry.com.

Does anybody want to help with the Canadian side? Louis Schaub was very helpful previously and seemed to have a handle on Perth, but I've lost contact with him.

More info on Michael Stoskopf from Iowa Cemetery Records
Michael Stoskopp (sic) Catherine Stoskopp(sic)
Death date: 11 Dec 1900 1901
Page#: 169 169
Birth Date: 07 Nov 1822 1829
Cemetery: Locust Locust
Town: Pleasant Pleasant
Relative: 78 72
Level info: Tombstone records of Winneshiek County

transcribed by the WPA.

They are both in the 1880 Census for Pleasant twp. p 9. They were missed in every Census index I've found for 1880.

I'll move further discussion to Stoskopf board unless it directly impacts other Alsace families.

Re: Stosskopff

dwfetherston — 2009-02-04 23:36:38Z

Charles,
I had once thought that my Michael Stoskopf was the son of
Michael and Eva Kohl Stoskopf, but that Michael H. stayed in Perth Co., Ontario and died in 1904 according to what I've seen. My Michael has to come from another of the brothers or a cousin.

Jacques may have lived in the same area as Michael in 1880. I am still trying to figure this one out. My Michael was born 07 Nov 1822 and died 11 Dec 1900 according to the transcript of his tombstone records in Locust Cemetery, Pleasant, Winneshiek, Iowa. I am working on getting his obituary and/or death certificate to see if it will connect back a generation and fit the big picture.

My feeling is that the early families in Winneshiek from Perth Co., Ontario are closely related. Perhaps not all through Jean Adam 1857, but fairly close regardless.

Can you explain what 23 Germinal year 5 means?
I looked it up kind of - looks like 12 Apr. 1796?

Perhaps my Michael wasn't born IN Ingenheim. I might start with Pfaffenhoffen then.

Thanks again,
Dave

Re: Stosskopff

dwfetherston — 2009-02-24 09:06:44Z

I think you are likely correct. Jean Adam b. 1755-1759 married three times (mentioned by Lou Schaub)is likely the ancestor of most of the early Stoskopfs in Canada and the U.S. through Michael and Eva Kohl Stoskopf and Jacob and Mararethe Lemmer Stoskopf. There are some others who may come from Leonard Stoskopf, especially those in Freeport and perhaps Ohio. I will be looking into it soon (I hope, but could certainly use some help from those local to Medina Co., OH or Freeport, IL).

Jean Adam Stoskopf b. 1719 was born in Pfaffenhoffen and married Catherine Schleber in 1744, according to at least a couple French websites.

But, there is also a Joannes Adamus Stoskopf m. 25 Feb 1727 to Anne Marie Duponin in Katholisch, Ingenheim, Pfalz, Bayern (now Ingenheim, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France), according to familysearch, so it could get interesting.

Gousin from Ueberstrass (Goslin? Gossin?)

Looking for Maria Ursula Gousin born 22 Sept 1815 in
Ueberstrass, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, died 11 May 1865 in Syracuse, NY.

She married Joseph Werschine in Roderen, Alsace, France 17 Sep 1835. Their children were: Anne Marie (b. 1836),Joseph (1839 – 1905), Romain(b. 1841), John Thiebault "Baldy" (1845 – 1911), Theresa(b. 1848), Andrew(b. 1851).

They emigrated to Geddes near Syracuse, NY before 1860 with several of their children (I have records for Joseph, John, Theresa and Andrew in Geddes). In the 1960 census their names is listed as "Wshenan". (They name went through many variations after that)

I would like to find her parents or siblings, or others with the Gousin name in or around Ueberstrass.

Oh my cousin-you are wonderful. I have been searching for your wonderful information for months! I imagined Jacob Lintz to be a nephew of Peter's older son, and as it is his sister's son, I was close. I will re-write my history soon and your certainly will get a copy if I can find how to get it to you! Living with Jacob and Christina in Constantine for several census' was a Sarah Mallo. I'm guessing she was an older sister of Christina who came as chaperone and stayed, but could your confirm this? I will try to contact you directly, but am not sure how. You certainly made my day!

Re: Griesbach ALSACE

I am writing history of Lintz/Mallo's of Constantine Michigan. Eva Elisabeth married my gggrandfather in Griesbach and moved to Constantine in 1839 following Jacob Lintz who sent for and soon married Christina Mallow from Griesbach nearby. We assumed they were brothers marrying sisters as Griesbach is so small, but since looking for proof I've found that there were Lintz and Mallow families from many nearby villages in Alsace Bas Rhin so they probably are related, but I doubt our brother/sister legend now more than ever. Can you help me nail this down before I publish?

Re: Trometer Geneology

apfaff179 — 2009-02-26 01:46:39Z

Yes, that's our Anne-Marie. It's possible to be marie-anne also. We have the same birth and marriage dates in Eberbach. Her husband, Jean-Pierre was my 3rd great grand uncle. It looks like when they transcribed the handwritten records, some letters got confused. We also encountered that alot of the church records from the time were in Latin. My cousins still live on the family farm in Eberbach. A newer home was built on the property in the 1970's or so. The original house from the about 1600's is still there, just no modern conveniences.

Nicolas (Nicholas) Hoffmann in Alsace

JohnOien543 — 2009-02-16 17:41:46Z

I am trying to locate where in Alsace Nicolas came from. He was born in 1807 in Alsace and died in 1885 in LaSalle County, Illinois. He married Catherine Schoeps (Schopps) in Alsace and they had two children in Alsace. George on December 31, 1836 and then Nicolas Junior in 1842. They immigrated via LaHavre, France to New Orleans on the sailing shipRaritan in 1845. They settled in Putnam and then LaSalle County, Illinois. Nicolas and Catherine had a daughter named Elizabeth, born in Louisiana about a month after their arrival. I know that George and Nicholas Junior took their families back to Germany and Alsace in 1869.
Can any one help me find what city or area they were from in Alsace.

Re: MODE FAMILY

I came from a Modes family that arrived in America in the 1800's. Christian from Saxony, his wife Elizabeth from Wurrtemburg. Interesting thing is, a relative who was the gradson of Christian said he came from Alsace. So I am trying to see the connection between that name and those three cities which aren't far apart.

Christian had a son Charles, but they may have been different. I found Christian was a weaver in Baltimore before he moved west with his family.

1836 Census look-up request - Pfeiffer and Haffner

grafn17 — 2009-03-13 18:18:43Z

If anyone has the CDs with the 1836 Alsace census and could do a quick look-up for me, I would be eternally grateful. My 3rd-great-grandparents were from Alsace and years of searching for a hometown has turned up nothing. Their names were Mathias Pfeiffer, born 1806-1808, and Odelia (Otilia) Haffner, born 1810-1812. They may have been married by 1836, but Odelia had other Haffner siblings living then--John, Catherine, Joseph, Elizabeth, and Agatha.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Catholic Church in Werentzhause in 1847

joymcm1 — 2009-03-08 19:37:38Z

Can anyone tell me the name of the Catholic Church that existed in Werentzhause Haut-Rhin in 1847? Is the church still in existence today and if so, how might I be able to contact it. I would like to find information on Augustin Kempf and Josephine Muller whose marriage on 17 Feb 1847 I found in microfilm of French civil records.

Also, films of some civil records exist in both French and in German. I have looked at some French records. Would the equivalent German records have any different or original information?

Is there someone who is able to look up a KEMPF family in the 1836 Alsace census? Family lived in Werentzhausen, Haut Rhin, Alsace.

Parents would be Christian and, I think, Terese. I know of one child; Augustin. He was born 11 May 1821, making him about 15 years old in 1836.

I would be interested in knowing the names and ages of any siblings of Augustin. Also any other information that the census may give about this family.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

A-L immigrants to Wisconsin -- entry ports into country?? ( c.1863)

19670 — 2009-02-22 16:46:11Z

If your A-L ancestors initially settled in Wisconsin upon arrival in U.S., through what U.S. or Canadian ports did they arrive? Appreciate hearing all possible ports or routes to Wisconsin.

Brick wall: my gr-grandmother Julianna / Anna Julia BUCHHOLZ (var.), born A-L c. 1846. No other background info known about her, including specific place of birth or parents' names.

Per family lore, "Julia" arrived in Wisconsin c. 1863. Possibly an orphan. Married Godfried BOTZ / BOATZ c.1865 in Brown, Manitowoc, Waukesha, Ozaukee or ?? Co., Wisconsin.

Have exhausted all leads/ideas. Appreciate all help!

Do you know if they had a son or relative named Jacob Foess/Foesz? I show the family came to NY, then went to Canada and then to Michigan. Jacob was born in 1822 in Zillinger, France as was his wife Eva Elizabeth Rohrbach.

PLEASE contact me!

Alsace Emigration book lookup

Would it be possible to get a lookup in the Alsace Emigration book for Georges Frederic Roser and his wife Eva Barbara Hanauer Roser. I believe they emigrated around 1817. I'm also interested to see if there were other Rosers who left then as well. Thank you so much.

Alsace emmigration Wuster/Wooster/Wurster

tiredeyes — 2008-09-07 16:26:15Z

Family lore suggests my Wuster/Wooster/Wurster ancestors came from Alsace and somehow got to Peoria, Illinois by 1850 when they appear on the census as Mary Wooster b about 1805, Mary Wooster Meyer b about 1823,Jacob Wooster b about 1823 and Helena Wooster b about 1832. The 1850 Census reports indicate they were from France, and later reports sometimes say Germany and that seems to fit. I have searched like crazy but can't find any of them on a boat to America. I find a few possible individuals in immigration records from 1830 to 1850, but the record says they are from Germany. I can't seem to find any that show Wuster/ Wooster/ Wursters from France. I have tried all the spellings of the surname that I can possibly think of, but I just can't get anywhere. I need some fresh thoughts if anyone would care to chime in.

Re: Klein

a. Joseph Adam (b. ca. 1735) and wife Marie Anne Roser (b. ca. 1756) living at Rhinau in 1831.

b. Martin Sitter (b. ca. 1771) and wife Marie Theresa Sur (b. ca. 1778) living at Sand in 1831.

A Magdalena Wuss, born about 1822, was aboard the Ship Leonidas when my ancestors (Adam and Sittler) emigrated from Alsace to Naperville, IL in 1846. Naperville (Du Page county) and Peoria (Will county) are adjacent counties. Some German Catholic families who settled around Naperville at that time originated from Herbsheim, Bas-Rhin, France. However, I’m still trying to find my ancestors origin.

RonAdams36 — 2008-08-25 17:20:10Z

Anybody researching Herbsheim? I’m trying to establish a relationship among these families: ADAM, SITTLER, DRENDEL, JENDER. They are part of the German Catholic families from Herbsheim who settled just west of Chicago in Naperville, Illinois, in 1840s. Doubt they emigrated as a group but probably over a decade or so.

They all have ADAM family ties but I have yet to find evidence in Naperville they are related. The first couple married in Alsace with the last two in Herbsheim: Xavier ADAM to Theresia Sittler about 1830, Barbe ADAM to Antoine Drendel in 1833, and Marie ADAM to Xavier Jender in 1815. Xavier and Theresia ADAM are my ancestors.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Looking for suggestion on what I should do next. I just confirmed that my ancestors (Adam and Sitter/Sittler) married in 1831 and had their last three children in Sand, Bas-Rhin, before immigrating to USA in 1846. Source was LDS microfilm, “France, Bas-Rhin, Benfield (Canton) - Civil Registration - Indexes (birth, marriage, death).” Family was German Catholic. Questions are:

a. Since these index records (birth, marriage, and death in 10 year periods) were filmed in Strasbourg, are the details filed locally, if so where to begin the search, commune, canton, where?

b. Where are the 1836 Census records for Sand and who to contact?

c. Where are the church records (1800-1840) for Sand?

Re: Gabriel Vogel

FHHELD — 2008-08-29 14:12:29Z

Excuse me, but the seems to be some misunderstanding about German names.

To begin with they did NOT have first and middle names, they had a Christian name (named after a saint) and rufnames. The rufname was what they were known by in the family. Many times several children in the family will have the same Christian name. As a result, records may or may not have the Christian name.

In addition, there was no standard spelling for anything. It depended how the scribe wrote it that day. As an example, Johann George may also be written in the records as Hans Georg, Johann Jerg, Hans Jerg, Johann Jeorg, Hans Jeorg, Georg, Jerg, or Jeorg. Note Hans is the nickname for Johann and was commonly changed to John in English speaking areas. In addition Hans is the nick name for Johannes, who usually does not have a rufname.

When they came to America and other places that use first and middle names, many reversed their rufname and Christian name. My Ggrandfather, GGgrandfather, GGuncles, and GGaunt all reversed their names to become first and middle names.

Re: Has anyone ever heard of West County and the village of Durenbach?

geniejom — 2008-11-15 12:01:28Z

Durrenbach is in Bas-Rhin, in the District of Wissembourg. I have the 1836 census for the District, and Durrenbach is one of the villages listed. There are many Merkel's listed, but unless you know the names of siblings/or parents there is no way to know who is who. I also might add, Joseph's parents are most likely not listed as the mortality was high; and he was born in 1804, which would make his parents most likely born in the 1780's. I checked the LDS library and there are records for this village available. The Merkel names listed for Durrenbach are listed as Catholic and these are the records available. These church records could be written in Latin, which is far more easier to translate than the Gothic German. The civil records which started about 1790 and the by 1815 are written in French, another language easily transcribed. I would certainly give these Durrenbach records a try.

I have the two vol set of the Alsace Emmigration books, and I checked for your Joseph, but he is not listed. The oldest person listed in the 1836 census is a Bernard Merkel, 63y.

This is exciting for you
good luck

Re: Alsace Emigration Book Lookup

geniejom — 2009-01-28 18:55:31Z

I have the two vol set and there is no Ashfeld in the second volume. I also have the 1836 census for Wissembourg district and there are 13 Asfeld's listed; 7 in Oberlauterbach, however since Joseph was born in 1854 he would not be listed. His parents could be though, but you don't know who they are.
The oldest Asfeld listed is a Francois Joseph Asfeld, 50y, and he has a son Francosis Joseph, 20y, which would make him born about 1816. This Francosis Joseph could be the parent. The Family History Center's have filmed this village and is available for you to order and look through, which I recommend. The records are very easy to read, even though they are in French.

I too have a conscripted ancestor who was in the battle, White Plains at Saratoga. This is what I would suggest you do. Contact the Johannes Schwalm Historical Association. From your description it sounds like your man could have been also conscripted.

This is their objective: The Johannes Schwalm Historical Ass., Inc., is a non-profit organization dedicated to researching, collecting and dissemination data relating to German auxilliaries to the British Crown who fought in the Rev. War and the descendants. All objects, documents, and books and materials owned by the Ass. are available for research and examination by the public at the Lancaster County Historical Society in Pennsylvania, which is the official depository of the Association's records.

Do you have a birth date, or approximate year and place of birth for Alice Mary? Also asking the same for her spouse. I might be able to find her or him in the 1901 census. There are many, many Alice Fischer/Fisher listed. Also, you listed family lore about the family from Alsace. Approximate what time frame would you be referring to? There are many Reimann's listed in Islington, London, which I am sure some must be related somehow. Any dates, places, even if family lore would help isolated more data, especially coming to England.

Re: Gabriel Vogel

geniejom — 2008-08-28 20:17:20Z

It has been my experience with the German naming system, that there is an honorific first name, and a middle name. Most often with the males, Johann is first, followed by the name he would be known by. Therefore, Gabriel could also be known as Johann Gabriel Vogel. John Bruder most likely only had that one name, Johannes, shortened to John. Mary Rohr most likely had Anna first and then Maria, shortened to Mary in Canada. I am sure someone on the list could further let you know the naming system of the children born, as there is/was tradition to be followed with the naming of the children.

Re: URNER/1712-1903

geniejom — 2008-10-13 20:32:43Z

There are many, many Urner's in the state of California, but most born past the time you are looking for.

There is listed in the U.S. IRS Tax Assessment List, 1862-1918 a John Urner, San Mateo Co, July-Dec 1866. I did not find him listed in either the 1860 or 1870 census.

I found a Henry C Urner, b Ohio, 20y, miner, listed in Scaramento, 1850 census. The gold fever was at a pitch by this time and many from around the world came to find their fortunes. Many more died in the attempt.

I also found a death record for a Peter R Urner, b abt 1811, Ohio, died Nov 1850, Sacramento, CA from fever, 39y.

The surname Urner is quite a challenge as there are many corruptions to look for; erner, earner, urner and I would think sometimes you would even find it listed as Turner.

Do you know who John Urner married in 1845? Did they bring children with them in 1848? Have you found them listed in the 1850 census?

He was married 1.oo in Holz 04.Nov.1828 to Eissler, Anna Maria (* Holz 21.Nov.1806 and died in Holz 08.May.1837. She was a daughter of Eissler, Georg Friedrich a. Tröster, Juditha. - - -
The black smith was maried 2.oo in Holz 07.Nov.1837 to Gauger, Rosina Barbara (* Holz 12.03.1806 + Holz 15.12.1859, daughter of Gauger, Matthäus a. Fromm, Rosina)

Leah,
browsing through the rootsweb boards I found your old message.
Did I already reply to this posting? Do not know - but here are some details about your Elizabeth Mary ESSLER who was really Maria Elisabeth EISSLER. She was born in Holzelfingen 01. July 1849 and was married as you wrote in Shelby Co.ILL 15. Oct. 1871 to John E. ECK, born in Alsace 02. Feb. 1841.
By the way: Elisabetz Mary was a sister of Johannes (born 28. July 1829, 1850 to USA), Rosina Juditha (born 22. Nov. 1832, 1850 to USA), Johann Jacob (born 03. Oct. 1838, 1865 to Fostoria, OH), and Johann Christian (born 03. Nov. 1844, 1865 to USA). Johann Jacob a blacksmith got the progenitor of a large living Eissler branch in Ohio - you may read about him in many of the postings in the Eissler board here.
Best wishes for your research. Hanno

Re: Look-up Requests: Knipper & Fischer

GEschrich — 2009-01-05 02:52:26Z

Norm,
The source for the entry was "Military Conscription List" meaning in this case, 1/1/1856, that Philippe was already gone (but actual date not known). So this Philippe could have emigrated in 1855 ok. But the record here does not show exact year, what ship, nor a specific port (only says America).
For Lorentzen, look it up on the Family History Catalog. There are civil records for his birth period, and the church records go back before 1700 there, all available on microfilm, which you can order into your local Family History Center. You should have good luck tracking Phillipe and family back that far.

Re: Alsace Emigration 1840 and 1844

glennlazarus — 2008-12-09 20:41:06Z

I checked the 1836 Census of the Cantons of Bischwiller and Haguenau in Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France. Zang does not appear at all. Halter is a common surname with the most (approx 142) from Schirrhein. Other villages with some were Auenheim, Drusenheim, Haguenau, Kaltenhause, Schirrhoffen and ones with just one or two - Neuhaeusel, Roeschwoog, Rohrwiller and Runtzenheim (where my family originates). There are several Halters with a first name of Louis but none with Antone (although there are a few with Antoine. I cannot find any family groupings that meet your family names. Sorry I can't be of more help. Glenn

Lorenz Kummett in Houssen

kathydoddridge1 — 2009-01-28 21:05:17Z

I am looking for information about Houssen in the department du Hout-Rhin. I am also looking for my ancestor, Lorenze Kummett, who was born Jan 15, 1851 to George Kummett (1800-1885) and Genieva Wagner (1820-1900). We always thought he was from "Balvia", however the 1880 US Fed. Census lists his birthplace as "Alsace". He left Germany in 1873, travelling on the Main and arrived in New York May 23, 1873. Any information regarding his parents, siblings, or birthplace would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

My family name is Saxer who married a Bosshard. Their daughter was Louisa Ursula Bosshard b. 11/13/1865, d. 4/13/1943 who married 3/11/1882 George A. Stintzi (who was a twin with Mary Stintzi), b. 1856 or 1857, d. 1932 Bangor, Wisconsin. George's father and mother were Mathew Stintzi and Magdalena Welsinger.

Re: Terrible German script: Bachoffen/Dufour family at Bischwiller

A correction: In the previous message, I mistakenly put the Bischwiller documents in the wrong archives. They are in the Archives Départementales du Bas-Rhin at Strasbourg, and not at the Archives Départementales du Haut-Rhin at Colmar!

Terrible German script: Bachoffen/Dufour family at Bischwiller

RealMac — 2009-01-25 17:57:19Z

Abraham Bachoffen or Dufour (the family name is Bachoffen when the document is in German, and usually Dufour when it is in French -- the two names have the same meaning) died at Bischwiller in 1696. The archives of Bischwiller that are now housed at the Archives Départementales du Haut-Rhin contain at least 4 different "testamentary dispositions", concerning his "last wishes", dating from 1684, 1691, 1694, and 1696. The third is in French, the other three in German. The German script is terrible, especially for the document of 1691.

All 4 documents are now on my web page describing the state of research for this family, at:

www.realmac.info/bachoffen.htm .

If you can manage to read any part of the German documents, I would be most grateful for your help! As the texts are deciphered, I will add transcripts to the web page so that you can see what has already been puzzled out.

The origins of this family are problematic. The document of 1694 (in French) says that Abraham Dufour was born about 1600 in the region known as Westrich (a part of Lorraine, centered approximately at Sarralbe). However, the name Bachoffen, and the fact that other parts of the family celebrated most of their family events in the Evangelical Reformed church of Bischwiller argue for a Swiss origin for this family. Abraham's brother (?) Jacob Bachoffen was a miller at Olwisheim about 1660, later moving to Bischwiller, where his (second?) wife's family lived.

Special thanks to Catherine Minck for locating and copying the documents. This is a very good year for research in Bischwiller, since it became known that two of U.S. President Barack Obama's ancestors, Christian Gutknecht and his wife, came from Bischwiller to Pennsylvania in 1749.

I have been told that in the early 1700's there were a number of families by the name of Diedrich/Dietrich/Dieterich living in the Durstel, Bas-Rhine, Alsace, France area. Does anyone have any info on these people? I am especially interested in the period from about 1700 to 1752.

Dietrich Family

les570 — 2008-12-13 23:22:14Z

I am looking for information on the family and relatives of Johann Jacob Dietrich. The father of Johann Jacob was Wilhelm Emanuel Dietrich, born 1680.

Johann Jacob was found in the book titled "Wolfskirchen" by Dr. Gerhard Hein. It shows that he was a weaver and married on 7 Feb 1736 a Catharina Mertz. Johann Jacob and his family emigrated in 1752 for America.

My ancestor was Elias Dietrich, a brother to Johann Jacob. I'm trying to find where he was living. I'm guessing that he might have been living in a village somewhere near Wolfskirchen. Elias was born 27 Jan 1713. His wife Sara supposedly died in Germany in 1743. Elias emigrated in 1744 for America.

Other known brothers of Johann Jacob are:
Casper Dietrich, b. 1710
Johan Dietrich, b. 1720
Philip Dietrich, b. 27 Dec 1725

Any info on these Dietrich brothers and/or their father, or any suggestions for learning where they resided, would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Dietrich Family

les570 — 2008-12-14 14:56:56Z

Thank you Merv and Fred for your input.

I realize that this family has been researched and reported on many times. The problem is that some incorrect data were reported as fact in early reports and these errors have been perpetuated to the point where they are now being accepted as fact. I'm trying to get to the truth by finding original church and/or civil records to support relevant relationships, dates and places. I have contacted many of the individuals who have posted information on this Dietrich family and none of them have been able to lead me to source documents.

One case in point is that for many years it was reported that Johann Peter Dietrich was the owner of Castle Hirschingen. The truth of the matter is that the castle was owned by Batzendorf, the Baron who decorated Johann Peter and his two sons with a Diploma of Nobility at this castle in the year 1700. After several years of searching, I was able to obtain a copy of the Diploma of Nobility and learned the truth about the ownership of the castle and the identity of Johann Peter Dietrich's wife and parents.

If anyone has source documents or knows of the location of any source documents, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Again, thank you Merv and Fred for taking the time to respond to my posting.

Bachschmidt family & Andress, Heckman & Hetzel in-laws -Strasbourg, Alsace, France & Kehl, Baden, Germany 1850s to post WW2

GailRVW — 2008-11-14 08:40:16Z

I am searching for information about the sisters of my great-grandfather and by extension their descendants who spent much of their lives in Bas Rhin/Strasbourg area of Alsace. These sisters remained in the Alsace region after their brothers, Jacob and Michael Bachschmidt, emigrated to the USA in the early 1880s.
My grandfather was Jacob Bachschmidt, born August 16, 1867 in Zierolzhofen, Bodeswieter, Kork Kehl Land, Baden, Germany. He died August 30, 1929 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. He emigrated in 1883 when sent to his brother in NYC by his older sisters, after their parents both had died.
Jacob's parents, my great-greatgrandparents, were: George Bachschmidt, born about 1825 in the Baden & he died there in Zierolzhofen on March 13, 1883 and Katharina Dietrich Marx born about 1825 in the Baden region of today's Germany, where she died in 1881 in Zierolzhofen, Baden, Germany. They married about 1850. [Additional information about this couple or their ancestors is also requested but most likely not of interest to most of this board's participants.]

The sisters I primarily want to learn about are:
Sister 1. Katharina M. Bachschmidt born April 21, 1851 in Zierolzhofen, Bodeswieter, Kork Kehl Land, Baden. She apparently died before 1928 in Kork Kehl Land, Baden, Germany . She married George Hetzel of Kehl. They had a total of 13 children. In most cases I know little more than the names of these Hetzel children: Elizabeth Hetzel [one is told married a man with a French surname and lived in Alsace]; Katherina Hetzel; Willhelmina Hetzel; Magdelina Hetzel; Freda Hetzel married a man with Schneider surname; Bertha Hetzel; David Hetzel; Daniel Hetzel; Karl Hetzel, Herman Hetzel, Michael Hetzel [At least two of these sons and several married daughters purportedly lived in Strasbourg circa 1910]. Another of their sons, George Hetzel Jr., born September 03, 1884, emigrated to Boston, MA area of USA in 1907, and another one of their daughters, Mary Marie Magda Hetzel born around 1869, emigrated about 1890, with her husband, John Boehm and settled in Maine, USA. [I have more info on these latter two and their American family experience.] Looking for more information on the folks who remained near their birthplace.

Sister 2. Marie Bachschmidt was born about 1853 in Zierolzhofen, Bodeswieter, Kork Kehl Land, Baden, Germany. I have not found any information on her beyond her neice's [my great-aunt's] memory of her name from her father. [Perhaps she died as a child [see name of sister 5, or perhaps this is alternate name for sister #1 with her middle initial "M" being for Marie.]

Sister 3. Elizabeth Bachschmidt was born about 1861 in Zierolzhofen, Bodeswieter, Kork Kehl Land, Baden. She died about 1944 in Germany but probably at her sister's home. Was she a casualty of WW2 or just age? Did she ever marry? If so, whom? Where did she normally reside?

Sister 4. Barbara Bachschmidt was born about 1865 in Zierolzhofen, Baden and died about 1956 near Strasbourg, Alsace Lorraine, France. [Where she lived her adult life. This locale was part of Germany when they married and France when she died.] She married Phillippe Daniel Andress.

Sister 5. Marie Magdalena Bachschmidt was born on January 19, 1869 in Zierolzhofen, Bodeswieter, Kork Kehl Land, Baden. and died on March 02, 1958 in Blaesheim, Bas Rhin, Alsace, France. She was married to Georges Heckmen.

Their brother George Bachschmidt died without issue in 1881 in the same typhoid epidemic that killed his mother. I am told he is buried with his parents in Zierolzhofen.
Their brother, Michael, the eldest son, lived and worked in New York City and Staten Island from 1881 emigration until his demise in 1911. He had 14 American children. He apparently made several trips back to visit his sisters and his wives' families in Kehl / Strasbourg area during those 30 years.
Jacob Bachschmidt never returned to Germany or saw his sisters again. For that matter he apparently seldom saw his brother either once he moved to Philadelphia circa 1885. But he and his eldest daughter, Katherine, [my great-aunt] did correspond with some of his siblings [ladies listed above] and her cousins [in Germany, France, NJ, MA & ME] until their old age [letters received by her were destroyed by her DIL when she died so I lack their insight. She reported that she lost 7 cousins in "the war" - I'm just not sure which one, WW1 or WW2. Given the ages of the folks involved I lean to the First.] Jacob had 6 daughters and one son reach adulthood.
Basically, this family lived in the midst of the region which was the center of contention between Germany and France for 3 wars during the lifetimes of all the folks I am concerned about in this message. They were among the local residents who straddled the Rhine River and most likely did not see it as a "border" most of the time, when not a battle front. I estimate from the map that Zierolzhofen is about 2 miles from Bodeswieter which is 3 miles from both Kork and Kehl all in the state of Baden, Germany; with Kehl on the Rhine River about 4 miles across the bridge to the east of downtown Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Blasheim, Bas Rhin is a suburb of Strasbourg about 7 miles to the southwest also in Alsace. Thus, the extreme geographic and travel distance involved here for these non-immigrant family members, [ plus their children and other descendants] is about 15 miles from Blasheim, Bas Rhin, Alsace to their Zierolzhofen, Baden birthplace, in spite of having the border of two countries and two states involved.
Thank you for any assistance providing information to find the Hetzel, Andress and Heckman families descended from this Bachschmidt family group. Also any data for the other two sisters.

Thank you for your reply.
Regarding your last point Yes I know. John married Henriette Ida Constance DANNENBERGER born May 3, 1821 in Vendenheim ( a small village north to Strasbourg) They had , at least, two daughters Marie Berthe born Jan 18, 1846 in Sainte Marie and Henriette Elise born on March 20, 1847 also in Sainte Marie.

But I suspect the family didn't follow John in the US. His emigration could be a kind of "divorce" as the second daughter married in Strasbourg in 1868.

URNER/1712-1903

francisbijon — 2008-10-13 18:01:40Z

Hello,
I'm currently studying the URNER family who migrated around 1650 from Switzerland to Alsace where they had been settled for three centuries.
At different periods of time some members of this family emigrated to the States. The most researched are Ulrich URNER and his three sons : Jacob (1693-1744), Hans (1694-1743) and Martin (1695-1755) who landed in Germantown, PA around 1712 and where Martin founded the Coventry Brethren Church in 1723.

But who could tell me about the other members of the family who arrived later on:
a) 1744: Heinrich U. bap. June 18. 1702 left Rifferswil (ZH-Switzerland) and came directly for the US
b) 1848: Jean (John) born Sept 9, 1813 in Sainte Marie aux Mines (Alsace-France) married in 1845 arrived in NYC in 1848 and was seen in San Francisco in 1872
c) 1872: Robert born July 10, 1853 in Sainte Marie aux Mines was in LeHavre (France) in 1872, did he managed to sail to the US?
d) 1904: Jules born Oct 20, 1869, married in 1898, arrived in NYC in 1903 but may have sail back as he died in Alsace in 1911.
The family name URNEr is not wide spread and I assume there is only one root to this family whatever the period and whereever they were coming from (Switzerland, France, Germany and Banat)

Re: Catholic Church in Beinheim

There is a chapel in Beinheim near the village of Roppenheim where a chapel named after Saint Vitus nearby the old mill in Beinheim is situated.
This area is called "Altbeinheim" (Old-Beinheim) because the village Beinheim was once there, but after the destruction in 14th century Beinheim was rebuild at the place where it is nowadays.
Only the mill an several buildings remained icluding the chapel.

Re: Sand, Bas-Rhin, Vital Records

albertklein1 — 2008-09-25 08:40:30Z

Hello Ron,

There is a "book of all families of Sand" from 1680 to 1904 available for 50 € + shipping from the "Société d'Histoire des 4 cantons".
Order or ask about shipping and payment methods at :

albert.scherer at wanadoo.fr
at=@ / no blanks

Postal address is : Albert SCHERER
24 rue du Chanoine Mertian
67150 MATZENHEIM
FRANCE

Unfortunately, I'm not related and haven't got that book.
SITTLER is quite a common name in the area and I have some in the nearby villages of Eschau and Plobsheim in my database. let me know if your searches lead you there.

Microfilms of church books from the beginning (which is variable for different parishes) to 1792 of all the Bas-Rhin (Lower Rhine) Department (including Sand) are available at the Department Archives in Strasbourg.
Microfilms of civil registration 1793 on, are at the same place. (the 10 year indexes are microfilmed as well)
All these microfilms are also available at at LDS's libraries.
As to church books, always look for "catholic parish" as your ancestors were catholics.
Civil registration does not bother about religion and lists everybody.

Now that you know it was in Sand, you will have to get the Sand microfilms of baptisms, marriages and burials (before 1793) or births, marriages and deaths (after 1792) to pull copies of the wedding record of your ancestors and the birth records of their children.
The wedding record will tell you where each of the spouses were born and who their parents were.

Church records for Bas-Rhin should all be kept in Strasbourg, as well as one of the two civil registers (original and duplicate) the other being kept at the village townhall.
But lots of villages gave the older duplicates away to the Department archives as well.
Church records after 1792 have usually not been microfilmed and can't be found in Strasbourg but should be available at the parish rectory or vicarage.
Civil registration was the only compulsory one but most people went on going to church as well.

The censuses (every fifth year from 1836 on) are available in paper form at the Department archives in Strasbourg. There might be a copy at the village townhalls; I don't know).
Just a couple of villages have been microfilmed (beginning of the alphabet) so far.

Mrs Chantal GEYER is putting all the 1836 census data on computer (canton after canton) and selling CDs. But as far as I know Benfeld has not been done yet. (See website by googling "census 1836")

Hope all this is not too confusing and will help you.

Good luck.

WENDLINGs in Kindwiller, Bas-Rhin

albertklein1 — 2008-11-19 23:52:55Z

Hello,
It seems I have no access on the mailing list directly, so I send my afternoon message again but through message board :

Hello Joan,

It's most probably Kindwiller in the north of Bas-Rhin, a catholic village.

There are some WENDLINGs of Kindwiller on GeneaNet.

Good luck.

Albert Klein

I also wanted to add that WENDLING (that comes from the first name Wendelin / Wendelinus) is very common in the east of France : 14th most used surname in Bas-Rhin. So there are WENDLINGS almost everywhere.

I have 55 WENDLING in my database. Mostly lutheran protestants (and those from Baldenheim would be that religion).
Only 4 out of 55 in my database are catholics (Kindwiller is a catholic village and parish; so Joan's would be catholics)

Re: Look-up Requests: Knipper & Fischer

deke551 — 2008-12-31 19:39:56Z

Thanks, Charles. The George Fischers you located are not likely related. However, what you found re. Philippe Knipper, based on the birth date of 1836, may have promise. Can you clarify the statement "arrived to America BEFORE 1856"? Was an earlier year documented? Was a ship named? Port of entry in the US?

Also, do you know how to pursue records that might be available for Lorentzen for that time period?

2. George & Katharina Fischer: b-Feb 1819 & b-Apr 1825. Both possibly arrived in NY in 1855.

Alsace emigration: LeGore

mrlegore_1 — 2008-08-23 03:59:23Z

I've been searching for yearson this one. My GGGG grandfather, John LeGore was originally from Alsace close to the Rhine River. He was born in 1755 and in the states by 1775 in Pennsylvania, where he enlisted in the military to fight in the Rev War. It is possible he was in Quebec prior and was a sympathizer to the American cause. Rumored to be the aide-de-camp to Washington during the Battle of White Plains. Also rumored to have come over with Lafayette (although dates don't match). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thank you so much for the information, it's very helpful! I don't think we are part of the Etienne Koegler branch but the other two entries look promising, especially since Joseph is a common family name.

Research Help Needed: Morkes Family in Alsace-Lorraine

JosephVerzal — 2008-08-29 05:20:06Z

Hello-

I am looking to begin researching the Morkes family in Alsace-Lorraine, but could use some help or tips for getting started. Here's what I know:

Anton Morkes was born sometime around 1862. His death certificate says in Bohemia, possibly near Chrudim, although there is no parish record of his birth in the town's archives. Census records indicate he may have been born in Alsace-Lorraine.

His father was also named Anton Morkes. The name of his mother is not known.

Anton (1862) emmigrated to the US in 1879, travelling through Hamburg-Lahavre and eventually settling in Chicago, where he worked as a cabinet maker. He did not marry until several years after arriving in the US.

At some point before coming to the US, likely between 1862-1879, the family lived in Alsace-Lorraine for a period of time, but the trail is lost there. I do not have a town name in Alsace-Lorraine, and the above information is most of what I have to work with.

I know there are some registers for the Alsace-Lorraine area during the time period in question, but really have no idea where to start and would greatly appreciate the advice of anyone that can point me in the right direction or assist in my search.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

The research that some of you did for me is very gratifying. I will be following up on your good suggestions and information. I wish there were some way to repay you and thank each of you personally.

Has anyone ever heard of West County and the village of Durenbach?

I have the following in a now deceased aunt's hand: Joseph zMerkel was born in the village Durenbach, West County, France, June 24, 1804. He came to the United States in 1832. I don't know the port of immigration, but I do know that he ended up in Mississippi and married Elizabeth Brookshire in 1838. What is written agrees with everything I had been told except the West County, Durenbach. I had always thought it was Strasbourg.

Re: FRENCH HAND WRITTEN RECORD TRANSCRIPTION NEEDED! PLEASE HELP

Sir/

I see from your message listing of surnames the name of Scoppe. This name is often spelt Scope which I believe is incorrect and is probably someones bad phonetic spelling of this name. This name also happens to Great Grandfathers middle name and the only thing I know for sure that this name is Italian in origin. Would be you be willing to share any info on this name. What is intriguing about this name is there is no Italian connection on this segment of the family at anytime before my great grandfather.

My ancestor Andreas Buettel arrived in QLD Australia in 1862, though no record of disembarkment or passenger listing for him can be located. He was born about 1838, was a cordonnier by occupation & had served as a sergeant of cavalry in the french army. His father's name was Christopher. I know that he came from Alsace Lorraine, but not exactly where. The name may be found as variant of the above. Bit of a brickwall, any ideas or familiarity with this family would be appreciated.

Strange Word

william_hackmack — 2009-01-27 01:16:29Z

I sent for and received a death certificate for my mothers uncle Charles who died in Manhattan NYC in 1941. His son Frank supplied the personal info on the death certificate and listed Charles Mothers maiden name as Kuniffunder. I do not know where Frank got that word from as his grandmothers maiden name was Eisenmann. His grandmother came from Alsace Lorraine in a german speaking area and came to New York about 1850. I was wondering if that may have been a name of a town in Alsace where she came from or something else as it is too weird to be a persons name. Would anybody with some knowledge of the Alsace area or the language know what Kuniffunder may mean? I googled it and came up empty.

Re: Nicar family

east_texan42 — 2008-08-24 20:02:34Z

Hi, yes we are cousins. My great great grandfather was John Sharp Nicar. He was a brother to George. My Great grandfather was Thomas Wilson Nicar. My grandfather (who adopted my brother and I after I was born) was John Thomas Nicar Sr. My mother was Billie Ann Nicar Rhame, she died shortly after my birth. My aunt Mildred Nicar Bertilino, my grandfathers sister and some others did a family search and compiled information together and posted it all on familytreemaker.com. It traces names, dates and records back to Michael Nicar (Niger) when he first came here. There is a charge to go on familytreemaker or you can purchase software at walmarts. But it is well worth it. You can also go to vitalworldrecords.com, which has some info that is free, and type in Nicar and go to grave search and there is an obit. and a picture of CC Nicar in his confedrate uniform there. He is listed as buried at the Texas State Cemetary. My great granparents and alot of the family are buried outside of Alto, Texas at Shiloh cemetary.

My G grandfather Frank (Franz or Francis) Dormberger 1826-1904(french spelling Doanabarajar) came to West Point, NY abt 1846. His sister Theresa came to the states about 1842 married a Bittman West Point, NY. Frank's brother Lambert left Alsace in 1850 settled in Callfornia. Andrew left Alsace abt 1850 and went to Illinois and Lawrence (Lorenz) left Alsace abt 1851 and settled in Ohio. Sisters Rose, Kathern and Mary stayed in Alsace two sisters married brothers. The mother's name was Catherine (maybe Wanzel)died 18 June 1869. Father was George died abt 1833. Any information would be wonderful.

Thanks for the correction and clarification!

I guess I'd better start searching in Burgundy!

Re: 1836 Alsace Census

hindele — 2008-10-21 20:10:47Z

HI!
I wasn't paying attention to the original post, but the most recent query caught my eye.

To the person who has these CDs, this is a long shot, but I'm researching the surname CLERGY or CLERGET, and the surname LOISET.

I know the family emigrated to NY in 1855, so the parents, and grandparents might be listed (Stephen Gustave and Francisca Marie, also Louis, Frank). I've come across other individuals who are probably related if I can ever go back a bit farther.

Stephen and Mary are from Villersexel, Haute-Saone, France, which I think is in the Alsace region.

If you don't mind checking, I'd love to know if they're listed!

Thanks,
Hilary

Re: STULZ - Lookup Emigration Alsace please (follow - up)

MimiStevens216 — 2008-12-31 18:53:14Z

I am responding to my own post. I have discovered more information and am leaving it here in case someone else is researching the same family.

The Stulz family was living in Seltz, Alsace, France (not too far from Strasbourg). Andreas Stulz was from Kippenheim, Baden and found his way to Seltz where he married Elisabeth Werner. All their children were born in Seltz. There were several more children who died prior to the family emigrating to the United States in May 1836.

I was able to discover Seltz because Theresa Stulz, who became a nun, had listed her birthplace.

My advice to anyone who is interested ............ Research your collateral lines! Never give up. My family has searched unsuccessfully for decades to discover the origins of the family .... and now .... SUCCESS. Because I found Seltz and subsequently Kippenheim we now have the family going back (amazingly) another 200 years!

Re: More Michel Family Info

kmatjhwy1 — 2009-01-13 00:14:07Z

Here is some more Family Information.

Peter Michel (Surname later in Penn. was Michael)
Born: About 1816 - 1817 Alsace Lorraine, France
or Badin Germany
Married: 1816 - 1817 to Catharine Buchiet
Death: 1898 Lycoming Co., Pennsylvania

Catharine Buchiet or Bucheit
Born: About 1817 Same Area
Died: Lycoming Co., Pennsylvania

Children:
1.) Mary - Born: June 19, 1843
2.) Jacob - Born: June 1846
3.) Peter - Born: April 14, 1849
4.) Catharine - Born: 1852 in Penn.
5.) Mathias - Born: Feb. 21, 1854 in Penn.

Came over in 1850 via La Havre, France and New York
when Peter M. Jr. was near a year old. And a family story
says that He fell in Love with a woman on the other side
of the Rhine River. Because of the adamosity had to use a
rowboat to cross the river and could not use the bridge in
seeing her.

Also if they are found in that Alsace Emmigration book,
would be Great!

Any help would be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks and
Creator Bless!

1836 Alsace Census Lookup Request

kmatjhwy1 — 2009-01-12 23:54:55Z

Am wondering if anyone could do an 1836 Alsace Census
Lookup for an ancestor of mine. It would be very much
appreciated.

My ancestor's name is: Peter Michel and he was born in
this Greater Alsace Area in about 1816 - 1817. I do not
know what town but by my family stories, it could have been
near the Rhine River in this Alsace Lorraine Area. He looks
to have had a brother named Jacob who was born a few years
before he was in around 1813 to 1814. Peter Michel did not
marry it looks like till the early 1840's when he married
a Catharine Bucheit. Then in 1850, they immigrated to
Lycoming County, Pennsylvania via La Havre and New York.

In the stories of the family, the Michel (Later Michael)
side of the family came from the Alsace Lorraine Area.
Now also the records say so also with a few saying nearby
Badin, Germany. I do not know the town ufortunately.

Any help would be Greatly Appreciated. Creator Bless!

Thanks for the info I've received. I'm still looking, however, for information on the death of Michael Jr. I have conflicting information - one is he mustered out of service unwounded in 1866 and died 1881 in New Richland, MN. The other is that he died or was killed in Chatanooga, TN Aug. 15, 1865. We do have probate info from 1865. Was he on the outs with his father? Was Jr. ever married or have kids? I work in the Veterans Service Office here and I'm desperately tracking our county's Civil War vets to find where they are all buried and Michael Jr. is being a tough nut to crack.

Re: Look up request for Alsace Emmigration Book - Hausauer

debdobberstein — 2008-10-17 20:20:22Z

Just found your information. We have Michael Sr. dying in Byron Tp., Waseca Co. Wife Margaret Jerdy died 11/1/1920 in New Richland. Both are buried in St. Peter's Cemetery in New Richland. Son George Wilhelm married Caroline Luff of Wisc. on 8/28/1880 in Wisc. They had for sure Henry Friederick born 2/1/1884 in New Richland and there is a George William who lived in Ortonville, Mn. in later years. Mike & Margaret's son Henry was born 11/19/1856 in Illinois, died 1/3/1914 in New Richland Tp and is buried in St. Peter's Cem., in New Richland. He married Pauline Steinhaus on 4/5/1881 in New Richland. She was born 2/16/1855 and died 9/26/1942 in New Richland and is also buried in St. Peter's.
Son John William born 10/8/1866 in New Richland to Mike & Margaret died 2/16/1942 in Ortonville, MN. and is buried somewhere there. He was married to Margaret Luff of Wisc. on 6/27/1883. They had an unnamed child according to birth records on 7/5/1883 in Byron and also Michael John William born 9/3/1883 in New Richland (strange thing there).
We are looking for info on Michael Jr. who we have as a Civil War veteran born in France to Michael and ? in 1842. He served with Co. G of the 1st Minnesota Vol. Reg't. One report has him unwounded and mustering out in 1864 (served 1861-1864) and dying in New Richland in 1881 but where buried we don't know. Another report has him killed in action in 1865 at Chatanooga, Tennessee. Do you have any information on him?

Re: 1770-1838 Puberg in Alsace

mawag25 — 2008-09-13 08:54:29Z

Puberg should belong to Alsace and France since abt 1700. The records after 1793 are in the city hall of Puberg. All the record (prior to 1793 and after 1793) are microfilmed and can be seen in the Archives departementales du Bas-Rhin in Strasbourg. You can also arder the microfilms in a Family History Centers (see www.familysearch.org, choose "Library").
The census should also be in the Archives departementales in Strasbourg. The first census is probably 1836.
To see what kind of records exist, go to www.archives.cg67.fr (address of Archives departementales du Bas-Rhin). Click on "Rechercher" on the top (= search). Put the name of Puberg : the records in Puberg exist since 1780. Before 1780, Puberg was a part of La Petite-Pierre and you will have to read the records of this village (records exist since 1636). As you can see, in the records of La Petite Pierre, there are records of many villages around, also villages from Moselle (part of Lorraine), as La Petite Pierre is close to Lorraine.
La Petite Pierre means "The little stone" as there is a rock.
To see a map, go to www.viamichelin.fr. Choose "itineraire" and put the names of Puberg and Haguenau.
Puberg is in northern Alsace, in the north-west of Haguenau.

Re: Nicar family

mawag25 — 2008-08-21 19:34:30Z

Baptism records 1750 to 1787 in the church books of Steinseltz :
I only saw one child with the first name Michael : he is the son of Michael Näger and Maria Schön, born in 1753.
I don't know if he is your ancestor.

In 1810 died Jacques Neger, linenweaver, 63 years, husband of Anne Marie Koebel and son of Michel Neger and Marie Kropp. So should be born abt 1747.
Between 1745 and 1749 one Michel Näger was born : 18 AUG 1747 as son of Michel Näger and Marie Schör.This Jacques should be the brother ofMichel born 1753. But who is the mother . Marie Schör or Marie Kropp ?
I have seen NO marriage record of Michel Neger ; Schön is not a surname of Steinseltz and I don't think Kropp is a surname of Steinseltz. Ss he probably got married somewhere else. The marriage record gives the name of the father and is very helpful.
I have not seen the death record of Michel Näger ; the records between 1787 and 1794 are missing.
That's all I presently can say.

Some new from Louis Maurice Honel ! (with my phone number)

Hello,
Sorry for answering your email seven years after you sent it, but I am very interested in the 30's in France and the french communist party at this period. If you want me to, I have a biography of Louis Maurice Honel. It's pretty big, it's in french, I don't know if you read it but I can try to translate a part of it.
I'd like to know what or who pushed your father to emigrate. I live just near Bois Colombes if you need to do some research.
Sincerely yours.

Alsace Emigration 1840 and 1844

LindaPliska — 2008-11-16 21:13:09Z

I'm searching for the home town of Louis Halter, b circ 1800 who emigrated Nov 26, 1840 with wife Christiana in 1840 and two children Louis Jr, b Jan 4 1820 and Anton b c 1830 first stopping near Albany New York, and two years later settling in Oak Creek, near Milwaukee Wisconsin. He returned to France and accompanied the family of brother in law Seraphim Zang and wife Helena and 5 children on April 16, 1844 bringing them to Wisconsin. I would appreciate any information that would help identify the village of origin.

Re: Gabriel Vogel

lynnpalermo — 2008-08-29 17:15:23Z

Thanks, my mother is French and this is the same. My mother's first name actually appears as her third name on her baptismal certificate.All seven of her sisters had the same first Christian name. So I understand completely. What this means is that it just opens the door very wide as to how it may have been orginally been recorded in Germany/France prior to his arrival.

Re: Gabriel Vogel

lynnpalermo — 2008-08-28 21:16:18Z

I have this info from the Maryhill Society. Can I ask how you were able to get this info from the LDS site. I have been unable to make this site work for me. Can you see the actual document?

Re: Gabriel Vogel

lynnpalermo — 2008-08-28 21:09:57Z

Thank you I did not realize that. I often thought it could be Gabriel John or John Gabriel but have not seen it on any documents that we have found so far. I will try searches under Johann Gabriel.

Re: George Vogel

lynnpalermo — 2008-09-04 15:01:03Z

Hi Chris
The 1891 census of George Vogel you have is my GGGrandfather, Albert being my GGrandfather. We believe George's father was Gabriel his father being George. I am as well trying to make the connection back to Germany. We believe Gabriel arrived first to Canada, and I am looking to find whether George was born in Waterloo or in Germany or Alsace. Looking for his birth registration and a marriage certificate of George and Anna Maria Reinhardt married in Waterloo probably Maryhill, any documents would be welcomed. You can contact me directly lynnpalermo@sympatico.ca

Re: Reinhardt

lynnpalermo — 2008-09-04 14:03:20Z

Thank you so much for this info. May I ask where you got it from. Also is there any further info on George Vogel born to Gabriel, his wife or children. I am certain this is our family. This certainly provides us with some new info we did not have before. Again Thank YOU! Lynn

Re: Gabriel Vogel

lynnpalermo — 2008-08-28 12:58:25Z

Thank you for your reply. But I'm not sure either one of these belong to me. Here is what we believe to be true. Gabriel born abt. 1815 Baden or Alsace, died 1885 in Canada. We believe his parents are George Vogel/Fogel and Theresia Span according to records here in Canada. He arrived in Canada prior to 1843 as we know that is when George their son was born in Canada, second son's name was John not sure who was born first. My grandmother version of her great grandfather was his name was John Vogel not Gabriel married to Louisa Bruder and he had two son's George and John. George was born in Alsace. Louisa's parents were John Bruder and Mary Rohr.
It could be we are following the wrong line here in Canada or my grandmother did not have all her facts straight. If you have any further info that could help me I would be very grateful.

Celt222 — 2009-01-28 19:06:28Z

We seem to be discussing the same family. Joseph ASFELD, born 27 Dec 1854 (or 1847) in Oberlauterbach, was the son of Bernard ASFELD (4 Aug 1813 - 9 Feb 1878 and Catherine BEYL (BEIL) (29 Aug 1811 - 4 May 1871. They married 18 Sep 1840 in Oberlauterbach.

Bernard’s parents were Francois Joseph ASFELD (1786-8 Jan 1846) and Mary Madeleine HORNNER (born about 1783 in Hermerswiller France and died 26 Mar 1840. They married 13 Feb 1809 in Oberlauterbach.

Re: Alsace Emigration Book Lookup

Celt222 — 2009-01-28 16:20:26Z

Can you tell me anything about Joseph Asfeld?
I know he was from Oberlauterbach in Alsace.
He was born 27 Dec 1854 (or possibly 1847).
He arrived in the US as early as 1862 or as late as 1879; he was in St Louis MO in the 1880 census.

Thank you!

I think it is a spelling error. I believe it should be Longeville in the Alsace region. I am a great grandson descended from James Hochard, son of Jonathon Hochard who is the son of John (Jean) Hochard that you listed. If you have more information going back into France, I would really appreciate it if you could share it with me. Rich Allison

George Vogel

margaretferguson17 — 2008-09-04 14:40:30Z

I believe that George Vogel married a Reinhardt.
I know quite a bit about the Vogel family as I found them looking for my Baumann family. Andreas Baumann and wife Anna Maria Mutz came from Rust, Baden also and ended up in New Germany. These are not my direct relatives though. My Baumann's were from Herbolzheim, a town close to Rust and the town were Anna Maria Mutz was born.
I have worked on the early German/French Catholic's of the Waterloo area for about 15 years and know quite a bit about them.

Please contact me if you wish to have more info as some of my reports don't compute with Ancestry's reply's.

This might be your George Vogel. I would have to search some more. My focus is on the connection from Germany to Waterloo for the Catholic families but I have lots of info here, mainly from church records{1830-1850}.

Re: Any Family Members from Oberseebac

landdcart186 — 2009-01-04 05:56:57Z

For about 5 years now, I have been trying to find a WEBER family from Alsace about whom I know very little.
In the process, I have traced a number of WEBER families from Alsace and while I well know that WEBER is a common name in that area, I have quite a bit of info (from parish registers )about several families from the general area of Oberseebach, may be related to yours, or at least be of interest to you.
One was the family of Michel Philippe de WEBER (about 1697-1877, b Roeschwoog ) who had residences in DeuxPonts, Germersheim, and Wissembourg, and who for a while owned the Chateau du Geisberg, near Wissembourg and a large property in Hunspach, amongst others. One of his daughters married de LaJolais, the son of the governor of Wissembourg, another married Christopher de GEIGER of Sous-les-Forets
I have also traced the family of Jacob Weber (b 1705), and Anna Christina FISCHERIN (b 1710), whose members lived in areas of Rohrbach, Schorbach, Obersteinbach and Wissembourg.

I have posted my WEBER problem here before, but some years ago now, so in case some new readers might be able to help me, here it is again.
I am trying to find the family of a WEBER who in about 1795 left Alsace as he would not fight for Napoleon against his "German brothers"; he changed his name to Johann David DIEBEL and in about 1800 married Anna Magdalena MÖLLER in Hamburg. From the 1803 census in Wesselburen, Schleswig-Holstein, he was born in about 1773; from information given by his wife (Anna Magdalena MÖLLER) to one of their grand daughters in 1857, his birth name was WEBER and he was a "noble' with a title and a "castle" in Alsace. The grand daughter returned to Alsace in 1873 to try to re-claim the "castle" (but was unsuccessful), although she saw it then and said that it was "beautiful"(unfortunately she didn't give any clues as to its whereabouts!).

Cheers
David

Re: Obernai Catholic Baptism Index, 1646 to 1792. RIGHT HERE.

HTornabene7 — 2009-02-02 04:13:47Z

Hi Kathy,
I am so pleased to hear that my published list is of value to you.
I was in Obernai since one of my wife's ancestors is from there. The family stayed there for many generations.
I found most of my information among the Mormon films, many of which I rented for a time.
Its around 5 years since I did all this.
Then I found that an industrious lady and gentleman in Paris had extracted a lot of old Obernai information, from Mormon films also I think. The gave me permission to digitise it and publish it on the web. and that is what you see here.
They also extracted the marriages for the period, which I digitized and published also. Very valuable, I am sure they would help if the baptisms did.
I published it all in as many places that were free and which I could think of.
I forget where they all are now, but some google searches would surely find them.
Thanks for reminding me of the great job I did.
I dont have a subscription to Ancestry, so this listing must be a feed though from somewhere else.
Hugh

Re: Nicar family

gnicar — 2008-08-24 01:35:05Z

Hi Lisa,

We are likely cousins descending from Christopher Columbus Nicar. I am his great granddaughter. (CC Nicar -> George -> Earl -> Gayla.

The spelling of the family name has intrigued me for some time. I have a few details listed in a recent posting on this website in which you may be interested.

Do you have any conclusive evidence that Christopher Nicar born in Alabama was the son of John Nicar. That has been the family ASSUMPTION for many years since John's brothers, Hugh and Robert's descendants were from Virginia and Indiana respectively and well-documented.

My father told stories about his grandfather, Christopher leaving Alabama at 13 with the Harper family. I have the family tree after that point. The Harper family is a bit sketchy though. I suspect our original Harper ancestor may be Castleton Harper from Ireland.

If you have any record of John Nicar and his half-breed Cherokee wife in Alabama, (Christopher's parents ???) please respond. John's records seem to be non-existant. Also, if you have any documentation on the Harpers prior to a Natchitoches census please let me know.

Re: Nicar family

gnicar — 2008-08-24 01:22:30Z

Michael Nager may very well be my gggggrandfather that immigrated to Baltimore in 1788. If this is the same person, he would have been in his early 30's ready for a steady occupation, marriage and children. Another researcher found ship records spelling the name "neger" from Steinseltz. The are records in Lynchburg, VA spelling the name "niger". Michael and Sarah resided in what would be called the "niger house" on Jefferson St. in Lynchburg. My Michael worked for John Lynch as a miller. Eventually Michael built his own grist mill near Roanoke. However, all other records detailing the lives of Michael and his Quaker wife, Sarah, spell the name "nicar". The name "nicar" is found in northern Spain, France, and in England.

Michael's son, Hugh, in a census said his father was from Wuerttemberg. However, I noticed a larger town near Steinseltz called Wissembourg. The census taker or Hugh could have meant Wissembourg.???

Thank you very much for the information. Where did you obtain/access the Steinseltz records?

Re: Nicar family

gnicar — 2008-08-19 21:25:38Z

Thanks for your reply. I believe Michael Nicar entered Baltimore in 1788. He was a young, single man. I would assume his birth year would fall in the 1760s. His name was spelled "niger" in a couple of records (ship: according to another researcher, and in early records of Lychburg, VA. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Kirchhoff town of origin

stevecla — 2008-11-24 21:16:10Z

I have been seeing information concerning the 1836 French census being discussed on the board and think that it might provide information I need.

I have been looking for the town of origin for my g-grandparents who immigrated in 1871 from Alsace Lorraine. I believe that it was Alsace but I could be wrong. I found their ships manifest but it doesn't help me.

Their names were Joseph Kirch(h)off born 1851 and Mary Elinger born 1848 (may have been spelled Ehlinger). Joseph Kirchhoff's father was named Michael or Michel. Mary Ellinger's parents names were H Ellinger and Mary Meyer (not sure of the spelling). Both sets of parents were certain to have been born before 1836 although they might not have been married yet.

I was hoping to find a Michael Kirchhoff and a Mary Ellinger living in the same general area. I would guess their ages to be between 5-20. This might give me a place to focus my research.

Can anyone tell me where I could get access to a 1836 census? I looked on the LDS site and didn't see anything. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

Would you happen to have a Michael born 1828 who married Catherine Lobstein. They are apparently both from Ingenheim. I have hit a brick wall and am trying to break through it.

I believe they are closely related to the other Stoskopfs in and around Kitchener as my John Stoskopf was born in Stratford, Ellice twp, Ontario.

Or if you happen to know where I can find civil records for Ingenheim, I would appreciate it.

Lion surname in Alsace-Lorriane back in 1870

sueloverstreet — 2008-09-24 14:41:42Z

Would anybody have a suggestion how our current surname of "Lion" might have been spelled back in late 1800s in Alsace-Lorraine France?
My GGF was Alfred Paul Lion born in Alsace in 1870... but can find nothing on him. So I need another way to search. There has to be some sort of record on him.
I do know that my GF Paul Louis Lion was born in NJ in 1894, so sometime within those 24 years Alfred also came to the US... but again I cannot find any records on that either.

Re: Toussaint Family of Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France

edtoussaint — 2009-01-20 16:43:22Z

My family can be traced back to Weyer, located a few miles from Hirschland -- and before that to Kirrberg.

In the mid 1700's, one of Johaan Toussaint's son's left Nassau-Saarbrucken and went to Zweibrucken. That's my relative.

If you are researching Toussaint's in Hirschland, it's a good chance we are very distant cousins.

Re: Henrich or Henri KARCHER b. abt 1835-1840 UPDATE!

PennyKresl1 — 2008-10-07 19:46:22Z

I found Christian Karcher's birth. he was the son of Catherine Karcher and UNKNOWN.....so it appears that Christian was either illegitimate or the mother Catherine never married the father or named him on the birth record. Dave...You were right, No father listed. I did find some pretty interesting data though.
I found out there was no Henrich Karcher, who was supposed to be the father, Instead, I found out that Catherine's father's name was Jean Nicolas Karcher b Jan 15, 1803 and he married Catherine Wilhelm in Wolfskirchen, Feb 17, 1830. Jean Nicolas's parent's were Jean Nicolas and Catherine Quirin. It may be documented as Johan Nichol in German.
I found this much out recently, although sadly, Christien, it turns out to be a Karcher through a Maternal name for us. The elder Jean Nicolas had many children listed in the LDS Wolfskirchen birth town hall records.
I hope some of these look familiar to any of you.

Hi Lisa,
My name is Jacqueline Meuret, I was born in France and my grand parents were from Alsace. I do have an André Meuret amoung my ancesters. His name appears on the family tree I received from a french genealogy site.
Acccording to the informations they gave me, my ancester André Meuret was married to Saulnier Marie-Jeanne born in 1726 and deceased in 1814. They had a son, Johann Conrad Meuret born on january 1761 in Miercourt, District of Porrentruy, in Swisserland. He married Anne-Marie Klufts born on april 1st, 1777, in Wintzenheim, Alsace. She died on april 22nd, 1863. Both of them died in the small village of Wintzenheim, in Alsace.
They had 2 sons: Conrad Meuret born in 1816, in Wintzenheim, Alsace and Jean Meuret born on dec. 31, 1822, also in Wintzenheim.
On Apr. 15, 1869, Jean Meuret married Catherine Greber, born on Nov. 29, 1832 in Rimbach-Prés-Guebwiller, in Alsace. They had a son Conrad Meuret, born on Feb.15, 1870 in Mulhouse, Alsace.He was my grand father. He was born German suject, because Alsace became part of the German Reichstat. He died on Apr.7th,1952 in Savigny, France.

Thank you for the statistics. Puberg appears to have remained a very small village.
I will research the link you provided.
Thank you again, I appreciate your efforts.

Thank you for the information you provided. I do believe it is the same family. I hope to make a trip soon to our local LDS Library.
Again, thank you!

1770-1838 Puberg in Alsace

Lovesbaskets — 2008-09-12 23:37:58Z

Would someone know if Puberg was in Alsace France from the years 1770-1838.
I am researching Peter Geyer who is said to have been from Puberg France. Peter, his wife Catherine (Faver), son John Nicholas (born 1794) and other children are said to have resided in Puberg prior to going to America.
Would Puberg still exist and where would the records such as birth, marriage, death and census information for this community be archived today?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Brumm

LyndaLeah — 2008-11-01 20:32:48Z

Looking for George Henry Brumm born in 1844 in Alsace, Germany. Looking for his parents and siblings. George may be Americanized ?

George married a woman named Anna. Don't know her last name, but they immigrated to Bolivar, Missouri, by way of Pennsylvania.

Re: Adelsheimer

LigeiaFontaine — 2009-01-10 19:52:06Z

My great grandmother's family (last name: Klein) was from Niederroerdern (spelled different ways, including Niederroerden)a village in the Bas-Rhin (northeast Alsace). The name Adelsheimer appears in the 1851 index of last names in the Bas Rhin, associated with that village. (Google Adelsheimer Alsace and you should get the index.) They were, I've been told, cousins of the Kleins but I have not yet found them. I believe the name became Adelsheim upon immigration to the US around 1900.

Are you still researching the Bahlert family.

MARIE MATHILDE HOFF

geenlandseeds — 2008-09-02 19:49:46Z

Would love to hear from anyone who has access to any Alsace census between 1830 to 1870.
Looking for any info on Marie Mathilde Hoff, sisters Louisa & Caroline Fredericka + father Frederick Hoff?

Marie was born approx 1854? Her sisters were both older by a couple of years. All three sisters married the same man -Waldeman Ruge, (not at the same time obviously).

She was living in England during the 1881 census & then moved back to France, (we think?), then to Louisiana in the early 1900's. Hers is a story of illigitimate children

Any info would be gratefully recieved we have hit a brick wall!!
