BANNON, Margaret GARTNER
eMail address: peggy0199@aol.com
(Roman Catholic)

I'm trying to trace Sebastian GARTNER, born 2 February 1840 in Baden, died 26 February 1919 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Malcolm GARTNER and Susan SHEARER. Sebastian married Margaret SCHICKLING who was born 29 November 1844 in Pennsylvania and died 29 November 1940 at Parkland, Pennsylvania. Their children were: Mary, born 1867; Joseph, born 1870; Frederick, born 1872; Benjamin, born 1875; Margaret, born 1876; John, born 1878; and Herman, born 1882. The family was Roman Catholic. Sebastian was a butcher and owned a slaughterhouse in Philadelphia. I would like to find out where in Baden Sebastian was born and the names of his siblings.


CHAMPION, Stephen
eMail address: stephen.champion@gte.net
(German Evangelical)

I am researching Herman ZEUCH born about 1850 in Baden. He married Emily HOFF or Amelia HOFF. She was born in 1855 in
Germany. They were married, I think in Germany, but I am not sure. They emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio between 1870 and 1882. They had three sons: Johann A. ZEUCH, born 18 June 1880; Henry Theodor ZEUCH, born 28 November 1882; and Frederick Charles ZEUCH, born in 1885. Herman died 3 November 1942 at Cleveland, Ohio, and Emily died 20 October 1942 at Cleveland, Ohio. The family's religion was Evangelical.


DERNER, Ann Derner
eMail address: annlynnd@rmaonline.net

I am researching William MENTZ, born 29 June 1811 in Baden or Prussia. He died 22 January 1872 in Wayne county, New York. He married Wilhelmenia KRAUSS who was born 6 February 1812. She died 2 November 1871 in Wayne county, New York. She had a sister named Magdelena and a brother named John. Magdelena KRAUSS married a man named Christopher HEINTZ. John KRAUSS married in Pennsylvania. Who were the parents of William MENTZ and where was he born?


FOERSCHLER, Diane
eMail Address: Diane.Foerschler@usoncology.com

We are researching the ancestry of August FOERSCHLER from Frieburg, Baden, Germany. He married Katharina PETER on 21 July 1790 at Emmendingen, Freiburg, Baden. This is, unfortunately, is as far back and all the information that we have been able to gather. We think that the spelling of the name may have changed from FORSCHLER to FOERSCHLER. The spelling of the last name (surname) has been very difficult to trace and we have hit a wall.


GIBSON, Doris RENSLAND
eMail address: 105641.3704@compuserve.com
(German Evangelical)

I am searching for members of the RENSLAND family. Philip Jacob RENSLAND was born 1 February 1857 at Weinheim, Baden, Germany. He married Amelia Matilda HENZE, born 25 June 1855 at Brandenburg, Germany. Philip died 7 December 1926 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Amelia died 25 December 1913. Their children were: 1) Maxmillian George RENSLAND, born 8 July 1879 at Berlin, Germany, died 12 October 1960 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He married Mary Ann MILLER 15 June 1904. Mary Ann was born 27 December 1880 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and died 8 September 1937 at Pittsburgh. Their children were: Harry, George, Howard, Marie and Robert. 2) Ella; 3) Frederick; 4) Emelia; 5) William; and 6) Otto. Philip Jacob RENSLAND and his family emigrated to the United States in 1882 and lived at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They belonged to the German Evangelical Protestant Church at Pittsburgh.

I have quite a bit of information on RENSLAND's who were born in the United States, but I cannot tie them in with the
following men who came from Germany. I believe that they are all related. I am hoping someone will be able to help. The name is also spelled RENDSLAND and RENZLAND. Peter RENSLAND was born 1845 at Weinheim, Baden, Germany. He married Hannah ?, who was born in 1856 in New York. They had one child, Clara. Harmon RENSLAND, born 1845 at Weinheim, Baden, Germany, married Catherine ?, born 1827 in Prussia. Their children were: Peter, Gertrude, Catherine, John, Anna, Frank and Rosa. Luow (Lewis) RENSLAND, born 23 May 1854, died 20 July 1919 at Cleveland, Ohio. He married McLena LAMP, born in Germany, died 29 January 1936 at Cleveland, Ohio. Their children were: Albert, Caroline, William, Edith and Elsie. George Peter RENSLAND, born 1813 in Germany. I have no other information except the name of his son, Charles Conrad, born in New York.


HAWTHORNE, Gail
eMail address: GHawthorne@Daiichius.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am researching my great-grandfather, George UHRI, born in Baden, Germany on 21 October 1838; died 28 September 1911 at New York City, New York. His father's name was Andrew UHRI, born 1810. I believe the family emigrated from Germany to Missouri. Andrew was married to Mary (last name unknown). The family's religion was Catholic. This is all the information I have.


HORENSKY, Mary Grace "Herky"
eMail Address: herk33@attbi.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am trying to find information on Johann August SCHENKEL, born 1835 in Baden, Germany and his wife, Maria HARTWICK, born 1839 in Baden, Germany. They are believed to have married in Germany. They immigrated to the United States and settled at Rochester, New York. Their children were: John Joseph born 16 May 1862 in Rochester, New York (he later was amember of the Pennsylvania state legislature); Frank born in Rochester, New York; Jacob W. born 1873 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (also was a member of the Pennsylvania state legislature); and Henry born 1877 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Maria died in 1917. Johann and Maria were both buried at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their religion was Catholic.


INMAN, Lesa
eMail address: jinman@mynewroads.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am seeking information on the following ancestors: 1) Fredolin KNAPPS was born in Oberkirch, Baden, Germany in 1854. His name appears as FREDOLIN in the Bible record I have, as well as on his naturalization paper. He became a U.S. citizen on 10 November 1887 at St. Louis, Missouri. On his son's birth certificate, he is listed as Franz. FREDOLIN died 16 November 1901 at Leavenworth, Kansas. He married Marie Ana KERN at Leavenworth, Kansas in March 1880. He was 26 and she was 25. Mary Ann, as Marie Ana came to be known, died at Leavenworth, Kansas on 27 February 1939. After Fredolin died, she married a Mr. BAKER and then "Old HIGGINS." Fredolin and Mary had three children: Henry (born at Leavenworth), Frank Matthew (born at St. Louis - raised at Leavenworth), and Cecelia (died in infancy). The family's religion was Roman Catholic. 2) Mary Ann was the daughter of Matthias KERN who, according to a Bible record, was also from Baden. He was born 22 January 1827 and died 2 January 1910 at Leavenworth, Kansas. His wife's name was Cecelia (last name unknown). I know that they traveled (immigrated) to America on the same ship from Germany and were married in Oct 1853 in Pennsylvania (presumably at Philadelphia). I assume that they arrived in Philadelphia in 1853. Cecelia was born 18 November 1834. They were married in the "Maryvienstadtum" (justice of the peace at city hall). The family's religion was Catholic. 3) Frank Matthew (Matthias) KNAPPS married Lillian B. HUFFMAN on 10 April 1917. He died 3 October 1958 at Kansas City, Missouri.


KEENER, Jane
eMail Address: jane_keener@hotmail.com
(Baptists ?)

I am researching my ancestor, Johann WEISS, who was known as John WHITE when he married Nancy GIBSON in Platte county Missouri in 1843. Johann / John was born in 1821 in Baden, Germany. Some reports say he immigrated by freighter from Wales to New York at the age of 14. Johann / John and Nancy both died in Tarrant county Texas. The only child I know about is John B. WHITE, who married Isabella WISE. I have been unable to trace Nancy GIBSON. Some sources say that she was born in Alabama. I believe that the family members were Baptists, but I am not sure. I am trying to find out how John got to Missouri, as well as when and how he traveled (immigrated) to the United States.


KOPP-SANCHEZ, Lyn
email Address: lyndan@coastaccess.com

I am searching for the names of the parents of August KOPP, born 20 November 1868, died 7 July 1916 at Karlsruhe, Baden, Germany. He married Katharina FAGER at Karlsruhe. She was born 19 August 1868 at Karlsruhe and immigrated to the U.S. in 1922. She died at Los Angeles 14 December 1939. She had seven brothers and I need information on the whole FAGER family. I also need information on August KOPP's brother, Wilhelm KOPP, and his family.


LEUTZ, Karen
eMail Address: jal@solarstop.net
(Lutheran)

I am researching the LEUTZ family from Neckar-Wimmersbach, Baden, Germany. Georg Peter LEUTZ was born at Neckar-Wimmersbach in September 1838. He died January 1840, the place of death is unknown. He married Christina Margretha GEHRIG (birth and death dates unknown), daughter of Johann Georg GEHRIG and Anne Elisabeth ZEISINGER, on 30 January 1833. Their children (all born at Neckar-Wimmersbach) were: Johann Georg, Georg Frederick, and Georg Peter. The children were 6, 4 and 2 respectively when their father died. Christina then married Michael EMRIG, sometimes spelled EMRICH. The LEUTZ family in Germany and the U.S. were Lutheran. Johann Georg LEUTZ immigrated to New Jersey in 1853 when he was 19 years old and learned the trade of shoemaking. He moved to Toledo, Ohio and married Mary WEITZEL. Mary had come to Toledo at the age of 12. Mary's death certificate states that she was born 30 July 1843 at New York, and her father was Henry WEITZEL. Mary died 1 November 1922 in Toledo, Ohio and she is buried at Forest Cemetery. Georg Frederick LEUTZ then immigrated to the U.S. It was much later in his life as he was married to Adelheide RUPP in Germany and had children. He traveled back and forth to the U.S. before finally settling in Toledo and then moving to Monroe Co., Michigan to live out the rest of his life.

Georg Peter LEUTZ is the missing link. I have the following English translation from the records in the death and funeral book of the Lutheran-Protestant community of Neckar-Wimmersbach. In the year of 1840, on January 12 in the morning ten o'clock died at Wimmersbach and was buried on January 14 in the afternoon at 2 o'clock, Georg Peter LEUTZ, age 36 and 1 month, married citizen and farmer at Wimmersbach. His father is the late ? local ? citizen and farmer, Georg Michael LEUTZ and his mother, Susanna Kathrina, maiden name GEHRIG. Witnesses were the two citizens and day laborers, Konrad ? and Georg Peter HOTZNER, Eberback January 14, 1840. Since Georg Peter was only two when his real father died, I am assuming (since I cannot find a record of him in Germany or that he came to the United States) that possibly he took on the name of his stepfather, Michael EMRIG / EMRICH, either through a legal adoption or just took on his name. We have letters written by Michael EMRIG to Georg Frederick LEUTZ that are 120 years old, but they do not mention Georg Peter LEUTZ.


LICHTENWALD, Hugh
eMail address: chief29105@yahoo.com
(Evangelical Lutheran)

I am seeking confirmation that the two persons named Heinrich LICHTENWALD (shown below) are the same person; information on any LICHTENWALD relations to Heinrich that stayed in Germany; and any information on descendants which I can tie my lineage to (back to Wilhelm LICHTENWALD and Christina KAISER of Doenhof, Russia in the 1850's / 1860's). Heinrich LICHTENWALD, born about 1739 at Baden-Durlach, Germany; died at Doenhof, Russia. He married Maria Barbara (unknown surname), born about 1742 (place unknown, but I assume Baden-Durlach). She died at Doenhof, Russia. They had a son, Christian Friedrich born about 1765 (probably in
Germany). The family's religion was Evangelical Lutheran. According to a quote from Pleve charts, "The surname LICHTENWALD lived at the Doenhof colony.

The family has arrived in Russia, in Oranenbaum (near St. Petersburg), June 3, 1766, on the ship 'Adler'."

The second Heinrich LICHTENWALD was born about 1738, unknown location in Germany, died at Doenhof, Russia. He was married to Margaret / Margareta ALTERGOTT, born about 1738 in Germany, died at Doenhof, Russia. Their children were: Johann Christian, born 1763 in Germany; Christian Friedrich born 1767 at Doenhof, Russia; Ludwig Friedrich, born 1769 at Doenhof, Russia; Katarina Elizabeta born 1772 at Doenhof, Russia; Johann Heinrich born 1775 at Doenhof, Russia; Johann Martin born 1776 at Doenhof, Russia; and Katarina Margareta born 1778 at Doenhof, Russia.

SHIPLEY, Cindy
eMail address: Kayakmama41@aol.com
(some Lutheran, some Catholic)

I'm looking for the SCHEPPELE family in Baden-Baden, Germany. They supposedly had a winery there and supplied the monks, nuns and priests with wine. John George SCHEPPELE was born in or around Baden-Baden, Germany. He is not thought to have emigrated to the United States. He married Katherine STROHBACH and had three children (all born in the late 1860's): Frederick Christian, Katherine, and John George. Katherine died and he married Katherine HARTMANN and had three children (all born in the late 1870's and early 1880's): Carl, Christina, and Simon / William.

eMail address: kathysig1@hotmail.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am searching for the town of origin and parent's names of my grandfather, Frank Xavier SCHNEIDER, born in Baden, Germany on 24 June 1861. He emigrated to the United States when he was 14 years old with two brothers, named Andrew and Louis. His parents died when he was very young, so he may have lived with a foster family. He was Roman Catholic and told of running away from home over the Alps to emigrate to the United States. He settled at St. Paul, Minnesota where he met and married Mary FLORIAN in the late 1880's. He lost contact with his brothers who were said to have emigrated from Baden-Baden to the Dakotas.

WANDER, Howard
eMail address: hrw5@netzero.net

I am searching for information on my ancestors who were probably from the Funkstatt area of Baden, Germany. My grandfather, John WANDER, was born at Buffalo, New York in November 1850 and died before 1910 at Buffalo, New York. He married Mary (last name unknown) about 1873 in Buffalo, New York. Mary was born at Buffalo, New York in Mar 1855. She died at Buffalo in 1938. All their children were born at Buffalo, New York. I have information about the WANDER / WANDERER family dating back to 1450, but I am unable to connect my family to this information. Who were John WANDER's family, where were they from, and when did they emigrate to America? Any data relative to this query would be appreciated.
