Surnames: Uschold/Long
I am trying to locate information on John Uschold and Teressa Long. They were both from Germany - John born in July,1850 and Teressa in 1855. They married ( date unknown) and had three children-Albert, Martin and Joseph before leaving Germany. They arrived in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada in 1883 and then settled in Laurier Township in Ontario, Canada in 1885. It's believed Teressa's Long Family may have followed. They died in Trout Creek, Ontario. We are not sure but they may be from the Bavarian area around Altenstadt. Would really appreciate help with this. Thanks.

Hi,

I was moving the Uschold Association pages this evening:

http://pages.ivillage.com/linda514/genealogy/assn/

and when I checked the board here I saw your query. Would you like me to add your question to the Association page?

I am from the Johann Baptist Uschold line from Vohenstrauss to near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Johann Baptist's parents were from Altenstadt. Nothing in my direct line matches a July 1850 birth date. The research I did was contracted through the Archdiocese at Regensburg (there is a link on the association page) and was thorough but relatively expensive. Later we did some additional research there through a private researcher who was more reasonable and equally good.

The Uschold name is fairly common in that part of Germany. As far as I know the records have not been microfilmed by the LDS or any other source in the US so it probably is necessary to have the research done on site in Germany.

There are several Uschold families who settled in Buffalo, New York, and I am wondering if they are the ones more likely to be related to your family. The Buffalo families came over about 1850.

Please feel free to answer either here or to email me directly.

Incidentally, if Long is a German name, the original spelling is probably Lang or Lange.

Surnames: Oshell, Long
The people you are looking for are John Sr. Oshell and Theresa Long. To me they would be my great great grandparents. They did settle in Laurier Township which is only a couple minutes away from Trout Creek. You see they had 9 children in total. Five boys and four girls. Albert, Martin, Joseph, John jr. , Margaretin, Isaac, Pauline, Elizabeth, and Mary. One of their boys John Jr, would be my great grandfather. Because Him and his wife Annie Shumacher had five children and one of those girls is my grandmother Emma Oshell, who married Francis(Frank) Grasser. I have a small Family tree of this family.

Your message Michelle was very interesting about your relationship to John Oshell and Theresa Long. Is their homestead in Laurier Township still standing? I understand the family had settled in Chepstow, Ontario before heading for Laurier Township. Do you have any records to show when they arrived in Canada and where (what port)?Do you know if Theresa's hometown in Germany was Altensteinreuth, the same as John's, or was it another town? I am trying to research their German ancestors as well as the date they were married and where in Germany the marriage took place. Please let me know what records you may have ---I would really appreciate that.

Thank you -- Larry Johnstone.

I do not have much information of their life in Germany unfortunately. This is what I have though. They settled in the Trout Creek area in 1885, they Chose a place in Laurier Township. They travelled by railway as far as Gravenhurst. Than from there by oxen.
They had four boys when they arrived. John(born in Chepstown in 1884), Albert(1878), Martin(1879), and Joe(1881).

Then they had five more children. Margaret(1886), Isac(1888), Pauline(1890), Elizabeth(1892), and Mary(1894).

The original homestead is still standing. I beleive their son JohnJr and his wife purchased it from them. Than their daughter Emma and her husband Frank (my grandparents) purchased it from them. I know they raised their children there. They did sell it because they moved to Trout Creek in 1971. The original hoestead was a farm by the way. I know someone lives their now. Our hunt camp which we use all the time to this day is almost beside the old farm.

I will do some digging around to see what else I can find out from my family. If you have any info I would surly appreciate it. I am currently putting together our family tree.Thanks

Hi Michelle:

You said John and Anna had five children -- I think I am missing one -- I have Monica, Mervin, Cecil, Emma and who?
Mervin was married to Rita and I understand she is still living in Powassan. I received an e-mail from her son Peter who I understand operates a store in Powassan. You said your grandparents were Emma and Frank Grasser and what were your parents names? Are you located in Trout Creek?
To make it easier you can reply to me at my e-mail ---
larryj1778@yahoo.ca and maybe I can fill you in on the info I have on the Oshell Family -- although it looks like you have gathered quite a bit already.
Thanks - Larry.

Your welcome

One thing I forgot to mention is
RHERSTEIN

I would think that name became or was
Reichstein
a common name in the area now

Hi Again Paula:

Yes, you are correct ---Reichstein -- was the correct spelling and the Reichsteins did marry some of the Uscholds ( a name that was changed to Oshell) by the way.
