My mother's maiden name is Luteran. Her Father, John A. Luteran and her mother Rose Erdelyi, Luteran were from Donora, PA. John Luteran ,in the 1910 census, was 14yr and living in Rankin, PA. His birthplace is listed as Hungry.
According to my mother Margaret Luteran, her dad said he was born in Hungry, Oct. 1895. He Did not know who his father was and he and his mother came to the states about 1899. Her name was Anna Kiesel,Kessel,Kisel??? She married a George Burrow, Barrow. As the story goes, George did not want John so John went to live with a family named Luteran. I can't verify this part. Does any one have a John Luteran born Oct 10, 1895 showing up anywhere in their research? Other towns in PA I have John Luteran living in are Rankin, Braddock. He worked for American Steel and Wire Co in 1916.
When I sent for my grandfater's Social Security registration I got his and one also for another John Luteran in Donora,
Born Jan 14, 1878 in Austria. He also worked for American Steeland Wire Co. He has listed Anna Luteran as his wife.His address 214 Thompson Ave, Donora. Does this help anyone?? Perhaps this is th Luteran My grandfather lived with????
Another Luteran I have come across when I did a census search for My grandmother Edelyi, (who married John Luteran) The 1910 census has a George and Anna Luteran living with the Erdelyi's in Donora. They had two sons, Michael 6, and Steve 8mon. It has them immigrating in 1901 from Austria.
I hope this information might help one of you Luterans out there. I would like to hear from other Luterans. Where in
Austria/Hungry are some of your lines from? I can not find a clue to my Luterans or Erdelyis origins from there.
