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 Doerr
Heinrich 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.
