I am researching the Milwaukee
Orth family for my first cousin. I am putting together a tree on Ancestry using old family notes. Phillip
Orth b 1845 d 1937 was the son of Adam
Orth b 1809 Germany and Elizabeth von Lining b 1809 b near Mainz d 1846. Phillip married Martha Marie
Meinecke my dates are b 1865 and died 20th Dec 1937.
The names of the siblings I have for Philip are:
William b 1832 d 186?
George b 1834
Adam 1836
Carl b 1838 d abt. 1852
John b 1840 Germany d 1896 e (emigrated ?) 12-1854 c (citizen ?) 8-15-1863
Daniel b 1841
Maria b 1843 married
DoerrHeinrich who died at birth 1846 the year his mother died.
My cousin's family descends from the John
Orth Augusta Kilian family. Sometime in the 20th century John Orth's descendants, named
Riedl, attended a ceremony when a street in Milwaukee was named for their
Meinecke cousins. And currently I live on a block in Wauwatosa that is bordered on the south by
Meinecke Street
Would love to make contact.
