Iffland Jackson,Hamilton Ohio and Tennessee

Iffland Jackson,Hamilton Ohio and Tennessee

Surnames: Iffland
A distant relative of mine was Andrew Iffland, Jackson Matrass Factory (Jackson, Tennessee).
Eduard / Edward was born in Dingelstädt, Eichsfeld, Thuringia, Germany in 1875 in died in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio in 1962. He had left Germany in the mid-1850s together with his brother Josef.
He married a Mary (?)
As my maiden name is Iffland, too, I did research the Iffland line and have Edward's line back until 1658.

I'm very interested in knowing what happened to his children Julia *1911 (probably Jackson) and Andrew * 1915 (probably Jachson)I'd be happy to share info with US relatives.

Surnames: Iffland, Berner, Horrigan
My name is Robert Berner and I currently reside in Stafford Virginia. I was born and raised in Cincinnati,Ohio. My grandfather was Andrew Iffland who died in 1962. He married Mary Horrigan in 1905 and had 2 children, Julia Catherine Iffland my mother and a brother, Andrew, that I know almost nothing about. My mother was born on December 13,1910 and passed away on October 27, 2002.

Andrew and his brother left Germany in the late 1800's to avoid forced miltary service. They landed in Mobile Alabama and stayed there for sometime. Andrew was a tailor by trade and followed that profession He met and married my Grandmother, Mary Horrigan, in Chattanooga Tenn and had 2 children while living there. He ultimatelty moved to Cincinnati in order to live in a more Germanic atmosphere, and raised his family there. I am interested in finding out more about him and his family, background etc.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,
sorry, honestly I did forget about that. I moved into a new home and have the records in some big moving boxes. But I have access to the CD with the church records. It would have if you could be very precise with Andreas Iffland's dates. Please write the private email address I gave you.

Surnames: Horrigan, Mungavin, Iffland
Mary Horrigan is the daughter of Patrick Horrigan who was born in Ireland 1850 and grew up in Preble County, Ohio. His parents are Thomas and Catharine Mungavin Horrigan. See Patrick census records for Preble County for 1860 when he lived with his parents. ALso go to the Eaton, Preble County library site and you will find Patrick's marriage licence and obituary in 1932 with Mary Iffland's name as his daughter. I have no idea how Mary ended up in Tenn. as her brothers and sisters seem grounded in Ohio, especially Preble County. Patrick, the father is buried in Old Saint John cemetery in New Paris, Preble Co. which you can find on findagrave.com.

Surnames: Horrigan, Iffland, Berner, Flatley
Hello,
Thank you for your information. This is new data to me and opens up a new channel. Mary Horrigan was my grandmother and mother of Julia C.(Iffland)Berner, my mother. I know very little about her ancestry on her mother's side. I do recall as a youngster (~1949) riding a Greyhound bus to New Richmond to visit one of her cousins, but do not recall the cousins name. There was also a cousin or aunt who survived into her 90's who shared many letters with my mother,but those letters have been lost. She had an outstanding memory of events that occured in the early 1900's. I will try to find her letters if they still exist.

Does the name Flatley fit in? I have a photo of a Flatley family reunion but do not know who they are. I think the photo was taken in New Paris Ohio.

If I can help you with any information concerning the Iffland/Berner geneology please feel free to contact me at any time. I have information and some photos on the Iffland family back to the 1700's.

Hi Rob,

this is Gaby (Iffland descendant) from Germany. I seem to have deleted an email. Do I still owe you some information?

Gaby,

I don't think you owe me any info. Your last email stated that you were in a hurry to go somewhere, but did not indicate there was more to come. My last email to you dealt with a short visit I had to Colonge and inquired if you were interested in any photos of my trip to Germany in 1963.

I would like to keep in touch with you so that we can stay aware of the current activities of our distant families.

I did make contact with a person who has information about Andrew Iffland's wife (Mary Horrigan)and her ancestry if that is of interest to you.
