I just found you on this message board!
I am still learning about the family my self.
If you are still out there, I would be glad to
share any information I have.

I have a cousin ( who I have also found here)
who knows a lot of information. when I get home
to my own computer I can tell her about you and
or give you her email address.

I will be glad to send photos of Delia and her obit.
The cousin I told you about has sent me copies of
letters sent from Delia's husband to Louise. Have you
seen them?

I also have another question for you: Have you ever heard of a Native American connection through Delia? My grandpa
said we were Mohawk of the Turtle clan through his mother
Delia. No one seems to know anything about it. Yet, if I could only find the photo of everyone on the front puorch
that I once saw, you can see how dark skined they were.
As a young boy of about 12 my father stayed whith these
same cousins for a summer. He always said they looked like
Indians. And, this was before grandpa told us anything.

So for now I'll leave you with this mystery and hope to
hear from you soon.

my email address is still marthaaf55@msn.com

Take care!

Hi, Mary. Did you live in St Louis (Creve Couer) in 1973?

Boy, speak of a small world! We were team truck driving in Texas in the early 2000's and we found Jordan's number in Waco. My husband, (Jordan's cousin) Edward Charles Pfuntner, son of Willis's younger brother Sterling, spoke with your father over the phone. He was excited about the contact, but the next time we were in Texas the number was no longer in service, so we didn't know what happened to Jordan. Edward was hoping to visit with him and get information or possibly pictures of Jordan, his father, and the other brother's and one sister Veronicka (oldest of Edward Joseph of 1871, and Rosa Derrenbacher 1870) Edward Joseph Pfuntner Sr. was the son of Josephus Pfundtner of 1824 and Anna Mary Laturburn 1829 of Wuerttemburg, Germany. They immigrated to the US on 7-8-1840 to New York from Havre on the Baltimore. It appears the "d" was dropped in the next generation through your ancestor Edward Joseph Pfuntner, Sr. of 1871 above. Edward 1871 and Rosa 1870 parented 8 children: Veronicke M. 1891, Edward Joseph, Jr.1892, Robert Joseph 1894, Walter Albina 1895, James Jacob 1900,
Gregory J. 1902, Willis P 1904, and Sterling Vincent 1908. These ancestors all were born in
Dansville Village, Livingston County, New York. We would love to tie your parents
into our genealogy ie: Birth and death dates, Names of children and their dates, spouses and etc. If you have knowledge of any of the above info being incorrect, please inform if you would. epfuntner5947@att.net. We are simply having a great time abstracting Edward's (and my) family histories from relatives, and family history sites. We are especially interested in more extended
family, and any pictures we could copy of these ancestors.

Edward's father (Sterling) was the 7th son, of the 7th son, and related that fact quite readily.
He thought it was an interesting happenstance. I can find 11 children for Josephus and Anna,
but Edward was the 6th son of those reaching adulthood. I suspect a child may have passed early in life and his record is not on the net. It is oh so sad that we don't get very much information on ancestors while our relatives are living. Sterling may have known of another brother that didn't live to adulthood in his father's original family, which gave him bragging rights to 7th of 7th!?! We have no proof of that presently.

We hope this information will be illuminating for you, and we will be happy to forward any
more information we may have. We do have some pictures (not many). Feel free to ask
questions you may be interested in. Sincerely, Lorraine Pfuntner 7-25-14

Hi John, I would love to have any information about how the Mehlenbachers tie in with the Pfuntners of Dansville. My husband's father, Sterling Vincent Pfuntner of 1908, is a link we
would like to connect with as many more ancestors as we can find.

Thank you for your attention. Lorraine

Hi Mary, this is Lorraine again. Here I thought we were making progress with this Pfuntner line,
but we do not have 7 generations. Yes please may we have that information? epfuntner5947@att.net. Thank you.

Martha, I have been getting a lot of information from this message board. I have Delia Frenke (Pfuntner) as the youngest of 11 children of Josephus Pfuntner 1824, and Anna Mary Laturburn 1829. Delia is the sister of Edward Joseph Pfuntner, Sr. who is the paternal grandfather of my
husband, Edward Charles Pfuntner 1940 who is the son of Sterling Vincent 1908, son of Edward Joseph Pfuntner Sr. 1871, and Rosa L. Derrenbacher, 1870. He is the youngest son of these 2.
I have Edward 1871, and Rosa 1870 as born in Dansville, Livingston, New York. Does anyone
have proof of them crossing with Josephus 1824 and Anna Mary 1829? I have Josephus 1824, and Anna Mary 1829 immigrating to New York from Havre (possibly Havre de Grace, a port in France) on the Baltimore 7-8-1840. That immigration was 31 years before Edward Joseph Sr. 1871 was born, and his wife Rosa L 1870 30 years. So it seems that they were after the fact. Any info that I can either receive, or offer is appreciated. Thx. Lorraine
