Am trying to find out info on Michael Fackelman who was born 1 Nov 1870. He married Katherine Schneider in 1895.
Children: Barbara b 27 Jan 1897
a boy who died in infancy
Michael born 16 July 1900
Katherine born 1902 or 1903 died at age 5 yrs old.
Michael and Barbara were both baptized on 22 July 1900 in what I had as Son Martin Romania which I now know to be
Szeutmarton. Michael Sr came ot America in 1905. Landed in New York and made his way to St. Louis Mo where he lived and worked for the next 6 yrs. In 1911 he sent for his family, Katlin, Mihaly, Barbara who saled from Fiume onboard the SS Saxoma arriving 22 Aug 1911. In 1917 they moved to Elizabeth, New Jersey and in the early 20's they had a farm in Flemington, New Jersey. In the 1930's they were in Newark, NJ. Michael and Katherine ran a boarding house. Michael died in 1961 and Katherine in 1959. Michael Jr married Anna Haluska and lived in Newark and Elizabeth, NJ later moving to St. Johnsbury, Vermont. I have not been able to get anywhere on this family. My grandfather would not talk about his relatives at all. Please can someone help me out. Thanks Judy

Fakelman is a Sanktmartin name, and I remember finding a link with my family at some point, although I don't remember exactly what it was now. I will have to look it up in my records. There are several Fakelmans from Sanktmartin in the Ellis Island passenger lists, you might find something there.

Thanks Marty
I did look in the Ellis Island records, I found my grandfather Mihaly Faklman arriving in 1911. Now I am trying to find his father whom was Michael Fackelman. He came to the US in 1905. Please let me know if you do find the connection you thought you might have, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Judy

Hello,

I am researching my husband's family. What we know is that his Great Grandfather John Joe Fackelman, came from somewhere in Romania according to the Cuyahoga County, Ohio 1930's census. He came to America in 1900 (?) at the age of 19. He married a Tersa Kornoker (pronouced cornknocker) who was also from Romania. He came here and moved to PA and worked in a mine, then after a very very short time moved to the Cleveland, Ohio area.
They had 7 children:
John Fackelman b. 8/20/1913 (my husbands grandfather)
Joe
Martin
Teresa
Rose
Virgina
F. Mary

Any information you have would be helpful.

Thank you.. Kim
