BENJAMIN, Robert (Bob) L.
eMail address: 4benjamins@networksplus.net
I am looking for the parents of Joseph ESCHBAUGH, born 1844 at
Eschbaugh, Baden, Germany. (By all accounts there is no
Eschbaugh in Baden, but there are a lot of places with similar
names in Baden and nearby.) Joseph immigrated to the U.S. in
1861 to escape the draft. He was married twice. His first wife
was Martha Jane SAYRE. They had a set of twins, Isa Dora and
Charles. They were born 13 October 1872. Joseph and Martha
divorced and Martha took Isa Dora and Joseph took Charles.
Joseph's second marriage was to Mahala SWAIN in December 1880.
They had three children: Laura Lane born 20 February 1883, died
20 February 1954; Joseph Clyde born 1884, died 1958; and Thomas
Ross, born 24 August 1887.
CARNEY, Ann
eMail address: ann_carney01@hotmail.com
(Jewish ?)
I am seeking information on George LUDWIG born 1860 in Baden,
Germany. His wife, Mary MEDEX, was born at London, England in
1869. George emigrated to Port Chalmers, New Zealand where he
worked as a fisherman. George and Mary had one son, Edward
George LUDWIG, born 12 September 1889. I do not know their
religion, but there is a strong possibility that Mary was Jewish.
I have no information on their death dates.
CARPENTER, Douglas
eMail address: d.l.carpenter@worldnet.att.net
I am looking for the place of birth of my great-grandfather,
Joseph REISER, who is listed on the U.S. census as being born in
Baden, Germany. He emigrated from the port of LeHarve to New
York on the ship "Zurich" and arrived aaaat the port of New York
on 31 December 1860. He was listed on the ship's passenger list
as 21 years of age. He married Ermetina KLUG from Bavaria about
1864 at Eckley, PA. Joseph died about 1893 at Whitehaven,
Pennsylvania. Eermetina died at Pittston, Pennsylvania about
1918. They are both buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery at
Whitehaven, PA. Joseph was Catholic. Their children, all born
in North Kidder township, Carbon county, Pennsylvania, were:
Charles, Theresa, Amelia, Joseph, Anna, Laura, Kattie, Henry,
Clara, Edward, and Frances.
CARTER, Louise
eMail address: lacakaruby@aol.com
I am looking for information on my great-grandfather. According
to the Union Army, his name was Timothe or Timothy HURLE. His
name could have been Dimotius HURLE. He was born in Baden,
Germany about 1827. He served in the Massachusetts Volunteer
Calvary. He married (apparently in the U.S.) Christiana HIRTH or
HART or HARDT who was born circa 1826. We have found a marriage
that could be theirs, but we are not sure. It lists a woman
named Christiana HIRTH and a man named Dimotius HALLER that were
married at Boston on 15 April 1854. This date could be their
marriage date because it coincides with the birth of their first
child and the ages are just about right. It also lists
Dimotius's occupation as a rope maker and we know he worked in a
rope factory after the Civil War. Family legend says that
Timothy was in the calvary in Germany and that is why he was in
the calvary during the Civil War. All their children
were baptized Catholic, although at least one of their sons,
William, was a staunch member of the Lutheran Church. The last
names of their children, all born in Boston, are spelled
differently on their baptism record. Their name HURLE was changed
to HURLEY (we think about 1880 - at least that is how it appears
on the 1880 census). There apparently was a problem with one of
the sons (family legend says something about vigilantes). I have
been in contact with a woman from Spain who said that her HURLE
ancestors came from the village of Tannheim, Germany.
CLEARY, Ellen
eMail address: ellencleary@earthlink.net
I am researching my gr-grandmother, Caroline GERNSBACHER, born 1
February 1821 at Buhl, Baden, Germany. She was the daughter of
Aaron Hirsch GERNSBACHER and Rosalie/Rosa ACH. Her siblings
were: Goetz, Bertha, Babeth, Abraham, Loeb, Malko, Joseph,
Sophia, Babetta / Betty, and Henrietta GERNSBACHER. Caroline
GERNSBACHER married Abraham KLEIN. Abraham died about 1896 at
Speyer, Rheinpfalz, Bavaria, Germany, but I have not yet been
able to document this. Abraham KLEIN and Caroline GERNSBACHER
KLEIN had a daughter named Clara KLEIN, who was born 27 November
1859. Clara immigrated to the US when she was about 12. She was
living with her uncle, Joseph GERNSBACHER, in New Orleans, LA in
1880. Clara KLEIN married Louis GOLDSMITH (born in Altleiningen,
Germany on 22 July 1857) in New Orleans, Louisiana on 29 November
1882. Clara died 19 Jun 1946 at New Orleans, Louisana.
FANCHER, Patricia
eMail address: Patfancher1941@aol.com
I am looking for information on my great-grandparents, Josef
WUNSCH born 1795 and Rosa ROTH born 1798. They were from Forbach
Village, South Baden, Germany. Louis died in the US in 1870.
They had 8 children, two of whom were Minnie and Louis, born
1837, both born at Forbach Village. Minnie immigrated to the US
in 1867. The date of immigration for Louis is unknown, but he
was in the US and served in the Civil War in 1861. When Louis
was naturalized, he lived at 519 East 12th Street, New York City,
New York. Louis was married twice: his first wife is unknown,
but his second wife was Catherine Elizabeth (FISCHER) AULMAN. She
was born in Hesse-Nassau and died at New York City 24 May 1903.
Louis died 26 April 1897 in the US Veterans Administration
Hospital at Togus, Maine.

I am looking for information on John FAY, born 28 September 1791,
married Barbara (last name unknown), died 7 July 1880 in Sangamon
county, Illinois. Barbara was born 16 December 1800 in Germany.
She died 12 October 1884 in Sangamon county, Illinois. They had
two sons, both born in Baden, Germany: John, born 3 November
1821, died 6 May 1847 in Sangamon county, Illinois; and Michael

family settled in Sangamon county, Illinois and are listed in the
1830 US Federal census.
FOOTE, Kim
eMail address: WhiteDuv65@aol.com
I am researching my great-grandfather, Julius Franz BARTH, born
24 May 1854 in Baden, Germany; died 30 March 1930 at
Collinsville, Illinois. He immigrated and arrived with his
brother, believed to be Charles F. BARTH, in the U.S. on or about
12 February 1870. They were separated in New York and never
heard from each other again. Julius heard from his family in
Germany when their father, Charles F. BARTH, died, but he was
unable to return to Germany. I've been told that his family may
have owned a shoe factory in Germany. Julius married Elizabeth
Margaret GINDLER, born 4 September 1864 at Troy, Illinois, died 2
March 1930. They had 11 children, 8 of whom survived: Karl born
1 January 1887, died 26 March 1941 in Illinois; Ella born 12
February 1888, died 1968 in Illinois; Friedrich born 3 December
1890, died 30 October 1959 in Illinois; Elizabeth born 23 March

I am looking for information on George HAUSWIRTH from Weingarten,
Baden, Germany and Birgitta STELZER from Bruchsal, Baden,
Germany. They were Catholic and were probably married in about
1864. They had two children in Baden: Frank (born 1865) and Mary
(born 1867). The family immigrated to America and settled in
Chicago and then in Nebraska. George and Birgitta both died in
1878 and left six orphans. I would love to share with others the

I am researching the family of John HOLLENBECK or HOLLERBACK,
born Baden 1837 / 1838, aand immigrated to the U.S. between
1865-1870, and settled in New Jersey. He married Monica
EISENHAUER (born 5 May 1828 in Germany) in Germany. Two of their
children were born in Germany: Frank about 1865 and Theresa about
1867. John died in Passaic, New Jersey 6 March 1917. He lived
at Rutherford, Bergen county, New Jersey and was a farmer. The
first census I found him in was the 1870 census at Rutherford,
New Jersey, occupation: laborer. Monica died 22 August 1915 at
home at Rutherford, New Jersey. They were both Catholic.
HORENSKY, Mary Grace
eMail address: herk33@mediaone.net
I am looking for information on Johann August SCHENKEL, born 1835
in Baden, Germany; married Maria Anna HARTWICK, born 1835 in
Baden, Germany. Johann was the son of Friedrich SCHENKEL and
Elizabeth GUENTHER. Johann and Maria immigrated to the U.S., via
New York, about 1860. Sometime after Johann arrived in the U.S.,
he dropped the "c" and became known as Johann August SHENKEL.
Johann and Maria had a son, named John Joseph, who was born 16
May 1862 at Rochester, New York. John Joseph died 13 August 1907
at Mt. Hope, Maryland. He is buried at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The other children of Johann and Maria were: Frank, born March
1867; Jacob W., born July 1873, died 1939 (he served in the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the mid-1930's); and
Henry, born in 1877. All but John Joseph were born and died in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Johann and Maria both died at
Pittsburgh; Maria in 1917. On an IGI record for the christening
of Johann August (13 September 1835), it lists Culmsee,
Westpreussen, Preussen. I would like to know where Culmsee is
located.
Webmaster's Note: Get a map from eeither Genealogy
Unlimited or Travel Genie (both busineses have web
pages on this web site - use the FEEFHS WEsite Index to find
them). Culmsee was in Kreis Thorn of Westpreussen and should be
on the 1882 map of West Pruessen here. It is now called Chelmza,
Torun, Bydoszcz, Poland. Both Roman Catholic and Evangelical
church records are available on FHL microfilm.

death record or burial place. She married a man named YOUNG and
had a son whom Veronica raised to manhood.

(Roman Catholic)
I am researching Leopold SACK and his wife, Margaret (maiden name
unknown) born at Paimar, Baden, Germany around 1850. They were
farmers and belonged to the Catholic church. Both Leopold and
Margaret are buried at Paimar. They had six children. Their
children Rosina, Conrad, and John immigrated to the United
States, while Barthel, Walburga, and Anna Marie stayed in
Germany. John and Conrad came first to Shenandoah, Pennsylvania
about 1880. Their sister, Rosina, was already living there and
married to Charles DIETZ. After three years working in the
mines, John and Conrad went to Fort Benton, Montana and set up
homesteads. John and Conrad never married. John returned to
Germany. Conrad died in an accident in Portland, Oregon in 1937
and is buried at Great Falls, Montana. Other family members who
remained in Baden, Germany were: Lina HAUN of Ilmspan; Walburga
MAHLER of Lauda; Babbet KRAUS of Paimar; and many members of a

I am researching Michael SCHELL and his wife, Margarett, along
with their three children (all born in Baden, Germany), William
born circa 1836; Alace born circa 1841; and Clara born circa
1845. They immigrated to America and settled in Hamilton county,
Ohio. They were Catholic. I am interested in finding out what
ship they came to the United States on, where they came from in
Germany, and if any of the family is still in Germany.
LeBLANC, Maurine SPAHNLE
eMail address: gleblanc@terragon.com
I am seeking information on Josef/Joseph and Rosata SCHWARZ and
their descendants. Joseph was born in 1822 and Rosata was born
about 27 December 1820. They resided in Baden-Baden, Germany and
were Catholic. Joseph and Rosata had three children: Joseph
born 1850, Michael born 1849, and Lena. Michael and Joseph
deserted the German army (Calvary) probably during the Franco-
Prussian War and immigrated to the United States. Upon entry
into the U.S., they changed their surname from SCHWARZ to
SPAHNLE. It is my speculation that Michael and Joseph changed
their surname to SPAHNLE as that is what their mother's maiden
name was. I have found records that Mary SPAHNLE and Caroline
SPAHNLE were already in the U.S. upon their arrival. Mary
SPAHNLE married John MICHAEL and Caroline SPAHNLE married John
KARNOPP. Michael SPAHNLE married Fredericka HAMM and Joseph
SPAHNLE married Sophia BOESWETTER. Both Michael and Joseph
SPAHNLE settled in Nebraska and became farmers. Michael
SPAHNLE's son, Max, married Mary Ann Handrock of the Saxony area.
Mary Ann's father was Ernest HANDROCK and her mother was Marie
Andonie SAC GIEBENRATH HANDROCK of Roglitz, Germany.

eMail address: djam53@aol.com
I am searching for information on Adam SPAUGY or SPAUKIE, born
about 1788 in Baden, and his wife, Margarita, born about 1798 in
Baden. They immigrated to America, sailed on the ship "Merchant"
to New York in 1833, eventually living in Pennsylvania. We have
a transcription from Bridgegum Cemetery in Somerset county,
Pennsylvania, that gives the death of Adam as 4 October 1853, and
Margarita's death as 13 September 1863. Their children (listed in
a will probate record) were: Catherine, Jacob, Margaret, Maria,
Louisa, Daniel, Adam, John, and William. The first six children
are listed in the ship's record, along with a "Maria Louise" and
a notation by Daniel was "born at sea." Maria Louise is not
listed in the will. The last three children were probably born
in Pennsylvania, but I am not certain. The others were born in
Baden. We don't know if they landed in New York and came right
to Pennsylvania or spent a few years elsewhere. They died in
Somerset County, Pennsylvania, where Adam owned 150 acres. We
have no information before the ship voyage.

ROSEN, Sherrie
eMail address: sherriesmail@netscape.net
I'm searching for Caspar Jacob SHRIMP who is listed in census
records as having been born in Baden Baden, Germany about 1820.
He married Anna ALLEN circa 1840 in either Ohio, New Jersey or
Pennsylvania, depending on which census record I look at. I did
find the mother of Anna, Charity ALLEN, in Ohio so I believe that
might be where they were married. Caspar settled in Campbell
county, Kentucky around 1850, but I cannot find him before that
time. I do not know if he changed or shortened his name,
although in later years, his grandson did change the name to
SCHRIMP. Different records list his name as either Caspar or
Jacob. I lost him after the 1880 census. I tracked many of his
children to California which is where my great-grandfather, Yancy
Andy SHRIMP (son of George Washington SHRIMP), settled (he
changed his name to James Andrew SCHRIMP in the early 1900's.
Anna (ALLEN) SHRIMP, wife of Caspar Jacob SHRIMP, died and was
buried in Campbell county, Keentucky. Caspar and Anna were
members of the Flagspring Baptist Church and that is where Anna
is buried. One of their sons, George Washington SHRIMP, left the
Baptist church and became a Mormon. I am very interested in
locating information on my SHRIMP family in Germany (parents,
siblings, etc.)

SULZMAN, Henry W.
eMail address: BUDPETS@aol.com
I am researching Jacob SULZMANN born 1853 and immigrated to

WANDER, Harriet
eMail address: rhrw5@netzero.net
I'm looking for the parents of my grandfather, John WANDER, born
November 1849 at Buffalo, New York. He married Mary (last name
unknown). The 1880 census indicates ancestry in Baden-
Wurttemberg. Data I have points to the Stuttgart-Funkstatt
region. My great-grandparents are most likely Johann WANDER (or
WANDERER) who emigrated to Buffalo, New York prior to 1849. I
have been unable to find any information regarding my grandfather
prior to the 1880 census. I have information on the WANDER /
WANDERER Funkstatt line dating back to 1451, compiled by Alwin E.
J. WANDERER (born 1888, died 1951), but I cannot make a
connection to my immediate family. Any help will be
appreciated.

converted to Catholicism as an adult.
