Hello,
I'm trying to find out about Herman Tanner. He was my great grandfather, but left when his son was a kid. No one left in my family knows anything about him except his name and I have been unable to find anything here. Any suggestions on how I can find out more about this man just by knowing his name?
|
Where and when was his son born? That can give you an idea of Herman's possible age. Also, what was the name of his wife and children? Sometimes their records can give clues.
|
Is he the same Herman Max Tanner born 1906 in your on line tree. Seems you have quite a bit on him. What additional info do you seek? Jean
|
I actually just found out that information. I want to find out where he came from and his ancestors and that's where I'm finding trouble now.
|
Other than some tree mentioned earlier, I have not seen/heard any dates/places that this person lived during or at?
|
He came from Urnasch, Appenzell Outer Rhodes, Switzerland. Upon emigration, his last residence was at Wald, Switzerland. Urnasch is not too far from the county of Leichtenstein. I haven't found any on-line birth records for this area. There are church books on line for Urnasch, but currently only go to 1876. His mother Olga Tanner traveled with him. Her age was stated as 1883. Jean
