George and Wilhelmina (Minnie/Minna) Hornbostel

ammonie — 2011-08-13 18:20:54Z

This family was on the census for 1880, Thornton, Cook, Ill. 1900, 1910, 1920 census for Cook Co. Chicago.
Was the maiden name for Wilhelmina: Rampke? She claims on the 1880 census that she was born Mecklenberg , Germany. All further census show that she was born Illinois. What? Who was she?

Hi Margaret

My wife is a descendent from the Georg and Louise Hornbostel, via their son Edward who lived in Puslinch Ontario. You note in one posting Edward was a twin. Do you have further information about Edward and can you confirm the location of Birkenfeld, in Oldenburg in Germany. We hope to visit some time. I note their is a small town named Hornbostel somewhere in Germany. Your previous generations of Britzius..this sounds interesting..to what year backwards have you gone so far?

cheers, Peter

Hi! I have heard this name of Tina and Korte before!

I have accumulated considerably more genealogical data about the Britzius family in Germany since we connected in May 2004. I have some additional information about George Hornbostel, son of Julius and Anna Ritter Hornbostel, from his granddaughter, J. Britton. So far I have not posted a public family tree, partly because I just have not taken the time to do so and largely because I feel the need to validate my data sources before putting the information out on the web. You suggested that we share data via a GED file and email. I am fine with that. My email address is tim1713@comcast.net. Let me know how to contact you and I will send a GED file as soon as I check my facts and review my data sources. Margaret

Hi…Not for sure if this email is still a working email, but I thought I would give it a try.

My great grandmother was a daughter of Willamina and “Fritz” Hornbostel. Her name was Augusta Minnie Hornbostel-Brunkhorst. Her daughter Elda Emma Sophie Brunkhorst-Childers was my grandmother (my mother’s mother)

Not for sure what information you need or what information you have but I am just beginning to look into my family history. If there is anything I can help you with I would be willing to try.

If you wouldn’t mind, I would love to know what information you have found as well.

Hope to hear from you.

tim17131 — 2008-04-28 02:51:28Z

Most of the information I have is about Louise, who was my great-grandmother's sister. (My great-grandmother was Dorothea Catharina Britzius Grimm.) Georg Friedrich and Louise Philippine Britzius Hornbostel were from Birkenfeld, Germany. Louise was born about 1819 in Birkenfeld, Germany and died before 1860. Georg and the rest of the family immigrated to the United States about 1860. George and Louisa were married 28 November 1839 in Birkenfeld, Germany. The International Genealogical Index has records for the christening of several of their children in Evangelisch, Birkenfeld, Oldenburg, Germany. According to the list of children I have, Georg and Louise had 12 children, including one set of twins (Edward B and Julius C, born in February 1853.) The two youngest sons, Julius C and Albert Carl lived in Warrick and Vanderburg Counties in Southern Indiana. They, along with Charlotte Hornbostel Mowers who lived in Utica, NY, but made several visits to Southern Indiana, were the Hornbostels known to my relatives, the Grimm and Britzius families who had immigrated from Birkenfeld, Germany to Southern Indiana in 1847. I have genealogical data for the Britzius family in Birkenfeld and Achtelsbach, Germany that goes back 8 generations. My source of data came from transcripts of parish records published in book and CD format by Rudi Jung

Re: Hornbostel in USA

tim17131 — 2008-04-27 03:50:11Z

I do have some information about Georg & Louise Philippine Britzius Hornbostel. Louise Philippine was my great-grandmother, Dorothea Catharina Britzius Grimm's, sister. According to the information I have, Louise died in Germany before the rest of the family immigrated to America. Families of Albert and Julius Hornbostel lived in the Evansville, IN area as did my family. Let me know if this sounds like the right family; I can provide additional information. Margaret Griffin

"Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Sun., Aug. 21, 2005
Focus (magazine type insert)
pg. 10 "A True Original
Legacy of architect Henry Hornbostel lives on
By Kurt Shaw/ Tribune-Review
"Even a scant overview of the history of Pittsburgh architecture would not be complete without mention of Henry Hornbostel, whose designs range from Downtown landmarks...to homes...
...Michael Dennis...desiging the newer half of Carneige Mellon University's campus in 1987.
Recently completed, the new half looks much like the old half, which was designed by Hornbostel in 1904 & was the winning entry in the Carneige Technical Schools Competition, right down to the cream-colored brick exterior.
...Walter C. Kidney, author of the architect's first & only monograph, "Henry Hornbostel: An Architect's Master Touch" ($49.95, published by the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation in cooperation with Roberts Rinehart Publishers).
...Kidney says that Hornbostel "was much more original than most."
...Hornbostel was born in 1867
...Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Hornbostel was classically trained at Columbia University in New York City & the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Though he had designed a number of buildings, even bridges, before winning the 1904 Carneige Technical Schools Competition, it was his subsequent move to Pittsburgh that would begin the most ambitious part of his career.
As the founder of the Carnegie Tech Department of Architecture & as architect for numerous prominent buildings around town...Hornbostel played an important role in shaping Pittsburgh's architectural image in the first decade of the 20th century....
pg. 12... Even on a small scale such as this(a home), the mystery & drama that Hornbostel, who died in 1961, was able to create is why his legacy continues to live on & why he will no doubt continue to long be considered one of Pittsburgh's most important & influential architects.

My mother and father were both Hornbostels. Our family came from the Muden/Ortez area northeast of Hannover. I believe that the architect you may be looking for is henry Hornbostel wo was a prominent architect in Pittsburgh and was a founder of the Carnegie Tech Dept of Aarch. (now Carnegie Mellon Univ.) He was also with firms in NY. I think I originally found this information through www.genealogy.org , the Mormon/Latter day Saints libraries. You might also check out this site www.library.cmu.edu/Libraries/Architecture/hornbostel.html. One page that I found has a picture of him and others including his brother, Edward.Hope this may be of use to you.

I do not know if he had relatives her or if he came over with any. He did come over on the same ship with his wife Maria Engessou' . They had a son Adolf who was orphaned at 12 yrs old. He married Magdelena Fuzinsky. They had two children Frances and Joseph. Frances married Peter Hagen and had 2 children. Joseph(my grandfather) married Catherine Stocker. They had 6 children and raised 2 from Joseph's first marriage. His first wife died of TB.I wish I knew more, if any of this sounds familiar, please contact me.
They all lived in Brooklyn. Thanks Doreen

Bonnie, most of the Hornbostels I am related to
lived in the U.S. lived in Brooklyn, NY. My great
grandfater Edward Herman Hornbostel was born
here but I believe his father was born in
Germany, there is a region called "hornbostel"
that they all originated from. Edward H
married a Marie Laura Wiehl. My grandmother's
uncle was an architect (by the last name
of Hornbostel) in Philadelphia. I hope this
is helpful--write again if you have more
questions.
