According to information in the 1920 census, he was living in Sharpsburg, Pa., immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1861, was naturalized in 1880. He married Elizabeth Prager and their children were Cecile, Flora, Dorothy, Joseph, Rudolph, Girard, Christine, Francis, Leo, Marian. My grandmother remembers that he ran a grocery store; the 1920 census has his occupation as school janitor. My grandmother also said there was supposed to be a title in his background.

Crecentia & Francezka

mnojo — 2008-12-22 17:22:31Z

I've hit the brick wall on my grgrandmother. Her name was Crescentia, also known as Grace. I've found various spellings for the last name - no surprise there. She was born 1846-47 and married Joseph Hammes in MI 1868. So emigration from Wurttemberg would have been between those dates.

I know am quite sure she had a sister named Francezka (choose your spelling). She married Anton Perrong (peron Perron...)

They both finally settled with families and died in Calumet, MI.

He was born May 18th, 1876 in Jefferson County, then moved to the Wood County area where he married a Lena Grossman (1899). She died leaving behind her husband and 2 daughters. Conrad then married Della Pearl (1909) and had 2 more daughters and 4 sons in their union of marriage. If these WITTMANs sound familar to anyone ... do let me know!

Wittmans from Sheboygan WI

Veetzy — 2005-11-14 19:02:37Z

I am in the process of researching my family roots.
My great great grandparents were Michael
Bernhard Wittman and Rosella Reidel. I have
no birthdate or marriage date. It is unknown
if they were married in the US or in Baveria.
They had the following children whom were born
in Sheboygan Wisconsin: William (died young, wife Abby, daughter
Irene), Mary, Carrie, Annie, Bernhard "Barney" (my
great grandpa), DOB 12-2-1872, and Rose. My
great grandpa, "Barney" married Maria "Lizzy" Beckers
(place unknown) on 1-21-1895.

I hope I am able to link up to somebody who
may have more info on this. Thanks in advance!

Veetzy — 2005-11-14 19:02:37Z

My genealogy research does not turn up anyone in the range of great great aunts or uncles with the name or nickname of Albert. Although, they may may a child or cousin. I will keep my eyes open for any connection.

Gracie Wittman

Veetzy — 2005-11-14 19:02:37Z

I am stumped. I discovered some old books in my Grandparents attic. One of the books is titled "The Human Body and It's Health".
Inside the front cover is the name of Gracie Wittman and the date of March 23, 1892. The book's copyright is 1884. It has the stamp of Mill's Pexton, DRUGGISTS, and booksellers of Harlan Iowa on the cover.

I have no indication in my genealogy to any relation to a Gracie Wittman or relatives in Iowa or any relative in the healthcare field.

Does anyone identify with this relative?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for information on John Peter Wittman family. He was born 1845 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He left Cincinnati in 1867; emigrated to Uniontown, WA, to Oregon and back to Washington. I'd love to know who his parents, siblings and ancestors were. On 1920 census, his mother is listed as born in Ohio, his father in France.
John Peter married Catherine Smith/Schmidt at some point and had 12 children. They eventually settled in Uniontown, WA.

Son of Charles Wittman falls from streetcar window, Mobile, AL 1909

charbmoore1 — 2009-03-22 11:57:44Z

From the Mobile, Alabama Newspaper

Monday, March 22, 1909

"As the result of the fall from a window of a Dauphin streetcar Sunday morning to the asphalt pavement at Lemoyne Place and Dauphin Way, the little 4-year-old son of Charles Wittman is suffering from severe bruises about the head and face, and it is considered remarkable the child was not fatally hurt. The child was standing on a seat looking from the car window when he lost his balance and fell headlong to the pavement. The car was brought to a quick stop and the child picked up. Dr. Glass happened along in an automobile and examined the child, finding that it was but slightly hurt. The child was taken home and medical attention given. The car was in charge of Conductor Sullivan and Motor man Noel ."

Not my line, just sharing.

Re: Wittman from Russia

Wittman_Shawn — 2008-10-16 03:41:30Z

Hello,
My name is Shawn Wittman. I have my mothers last name because my mother and father were never married. Now my grandmother was born in Germany and grew up there. As a teenager (12-16)she lived in Germany during World War2. she met Reuben Wittman who was in the American Army in 1946 when she was 17. He told her that his grand parents came to America from Russia. He married my grand mother in Germany so she could come to America. But after she got here, he never saw her again. She tried to find him, but couldn't. So Reuben Wittman's daughter,(my mother) is Delores Wittman. I wonder if we could be related. When we all tried to look for him, it looked like he lived in Kansas for a while, and in Denver Colorado for a while. After he left the Army they think they found him driving trucks for a living, but they're not sure if that's was him, or a different man named Wittman.

Update: Wittman(n) Sheboygan WI to ND

Veetzy — 2005-11-14 19:02:37Z

I posted a message earlier regarding what I knew about my Wittman(n) roots. I have more information.

My Great Great grandfathers name was actually Peter (not Michael Bernhard) Wittmann. I have confirmed this via the tombstone and 1885 census records. Peter and Rosalia (how her name is spelled on the tombstone) died in Wahpeton ND on 2-2-1908 due to carbon monoxide poisening from their coal furnace. Peter's DOB: 4-25-1832. Rosalia's DOB: 1-22-1836.

They moved from Sheboygan to Richland County North Dakota as evidenced by their listing in the 1885 ND Census Records.

Also, the last name was spelled WittmanN (2 Ns, not one) on the tombstone. However, our family now spells it with one N.

OLD POST:I am in the process of researching my family roots.My great great grandparents were Michael Bernhard Wittman and Rosella Reidel. I have no birthdate or marriage date. It is unknown if they were married in the US or in Baveria. They had the following children whom were born in Sheboygan Wisconsin: William (died young, wife Abby, daughter
Irene), Mary, Carrie, Annie, Bernhard "Barney" (my great grandpa), DOB 12-2-1872, and Rose. My great grandpa, "Barney" married Maria "Lizzy" Beckers (place unknown) on 1-21-1895.

Wittmann's from Reutershofen/Sigl/Auerbach in Bavaria

Veetzy — 2005-11-14 19:02:37Z

I just received information today that my Great Great Grandfather Peter WITTMANN and his wife Rosalia immigrated to New York from Bremen, Germany in May 1861. Their residence was Reutershofen. They were from Bavaria Germany.

I also have 2 other Wittmann families listed in this book from Sigl and Auerbach.

I cannot find any information on the town of Reutershofen, Germany. I even have Mappoint and 2 hours of searching on the Internet is yielding nothing!

Can anyone help me? I can be contacted at: mish@btigate.com
My Wittmann Family Web Page is at http://www.btigate.com/~mish/wittman.html

Thanks in advance for any help!
