CORIO, Jean
eMail address: twojcjc@aol.com
(Roman Catholic)

I am researching my great-grandfather, Karl BURKHARDT / BURKHART and his family in Germany. Karl was born in 1868 in Stuttgart to Valentin / Ferdinand BURKHARDT / BURKHART (who was possibly from Heidelberg and born in 1834) and Catharina BURCKHARDT / BURKHARDT. Karl emigrated in 1889 to Altoona, PA along with sisters, Louisa (SCHEELER) born 1865 and Wilhemina (ALBRECHT / MOEN) born 1873. The family was Catholic in Germany. Siblings in Germany were Valentin, Ferdinand and Lina. The only other family info we have is that twin BURKHARDT boys from Germany were killed in World War I. There were relatives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - an Adolph and his son, Robert BURKHARDT / BURKHART, who visited my grandfather, Charles BURKHART, in Altoona, PA Any help in completing our German family tree would be greatly appreciated.


DENNIS, Janalyn
eMail address: tjdennis2@worldnet.att.net

I am searching for any information on Otto Armond BOLLER born 1 July 1884 in Baden Baden, Germany. He emigrated to the United States some time before 1913 as he married Gladys NOLAND in the United States that year. He died 20 February 1956 at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Any information would be greatly appreciated.


FINKENAUR, Allen
eMail address: afinkenaur@snet.net

I am researching Georg FINKENAUER (we think that was his name in Germany) born in Baden, Germany on 9 June 1817. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1840-1845. He changed his name to FINKENAUR when he moved to the U.S. He married Elizabeth (Eliza) REYNOLDS, believed to have been born in Ireland. She died at Macon, Georgia on 4 May 1898 and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery at Macon, GA. We think she lived near or in the same building as the FINKENAURS before the time of their marriage. We also believe she was in the seamstress business. Georg died 14 June 1871 at New York City, NY. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery at New York City, NY. We have found him in the 1860 and 1870 census of New York City. He first lived at 118 Amity Street (now 3rd Avenue) where his first child, Ann FINKENAUR, was born 4 October 1846. She was baptised in St. Joseph's Church, 371 6th Avenue, New York City, NY on 4 October 1846. Church records do not mention Georg's marriage or any other children. Ann FINKENAUR married Caleb LEONARD and they had a son, Frederick LEONARD.

The FINKENAURS later moved to 361 6th Avenue and lived there from 1850 to 1855; then to 438 6th Avenue and lived there from 1855 to 1870; and then to 118 West 19th Street where George died. George and his sons were in the art store business and made and sold frescos. We believe Georg's first son, George Washington FINKENAUR, was born at New York City, NY. He died 13 December 1907 and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery. Georg also had the following children: Josephine FINKENAUR, died 10 June 1877, buried in Greenwood Cemetery; William B. FINKENAUR (we have a complete history of his family); and Eugene F. FINKENAUR (we have a complete history of his family). One census says Georg came from Baden. He was naturalized 24 October 1856 and in this document he states he renounces allegiance to the King of Bavaria. We understand that he came through Castle Gardens when he arrived in New York City.


FORD, Dorothy
eMail address: dotrford@aol.com
(Jewish)

I am researching my gr-grandfather, Solomon BACH, born 4 December 1841 in Baden-Baden, Germany. He emigrated to the United States about 1860-1861 and settled in New Orleans, LA. He married Amelie DEPASS in the 1880's. He died 26 March 1823 and is buried in Hebrew Rest #2 at New Orleans, LA. Both he and his wife were Jewish.


GERBER, Janet
eMail address: jmgerb@accnorwalk.com

I am looking for information on Johannes ZUREICH, born around 1858, who married Catherine HILBERT, born around 1859 (daughter of Richard HILBERT), in Huron County, Ohio. Johannes died in Ohio in 1941 and Catherine died 17 January 1928 in Ohio. They had family in Cincinnati, Ohio who spelled their name ZUREICK. I found the name Johannah ZUREICH in some church records. She must have also been born in Germany. There is also a Maria ZUREICH who was born around 1857. I am also looking for Ulhart ZUREICH and Catherine ZOLLER. I obtained these names from the US Social Security Death Index. They were the parents of Hugo ZUREICH, born 25 April 1895 in Germany. I suspect that Ulhart and Johannes were brothers. These people were said to have all been from Baden-Baden, Germany. As far as I know, they were Catholic. As the family story goes, either Johannes or Ulhart was the mayor of Baden-Baden. Most of the family worked for the railroad when they came to America.


GIESER, Rick
eMail address: geezball@aol.com

I need help finding the parents of Jonas GIESER whom family stories say came from Baden-Wurttemberg. Jonas was born in 1825 and supposedly served in the military in Baden. He came to the U.S. in the 1850's and settled at Aurora, Illinois. He was naturalized a U.S. citizen in 1860. He married Eva WEIGAND, a recent immigrant from Bavaria, in 1857. The family story is that Jonas GIESER came to the U.S. with a brother whose name is not known, there was a feud, and the brother moved to Minnesota. Jonas' wife Eva is buried in a Catholic cemetery at Aurora, IL, while Jonas is buried in a non-denominational cemetery. I believe he was a non-practicing Lutheran.


HEER, Jennifer
eMail address: jheer1@uic.edu
(Lutheran)

I am looking for information about my family in Germany and after they came to the U.S. My great-great-great-grandfather, John Christian HEER, was born at Beitigheim, Baden, Germany in 1796. He married twice. With his first wife (name unknown), he had four children: Henry; John C., Jr.; Peter; and a daughter (name unknown) who stayed in Germany. His children from his second marriage to Christinia HAUSCH? were: David H., Christina, and Daniel. We think they were all Lutheran. When John Christian HEER Sr. was 13 years old, he won a scholarship contest given by the King (we have no way of finding out more about this). In 1840, the family emigrated to Buffalo, NY and then on to Jo Daviess County, Illinois where they farmed. So, basically they left before most of the other Germans. John C. Sr. and David were doctors of veterinary medicine. John C. HEER Sr. also served in a war as an army surgeon in 1815 in Germany. Can anyone help me find some records to support any of this?


HORENSKY, Mary Grace SHENKEL
eMail address: MHorensky@aol.com

I am seeking information on Friedrich SCHENKEL and his wife, Elizabeth GUENTHER. Their son, Johann A. SCHENKEL, was born in Baden-Baden, Germany 13 September 1835. Johann emigrated to America and died at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Johann had a son named John Joseph SHENKEL born 16 May 1862 at Rochester, NY. This must be about the time that the "c" was dropped from the SCHENKEL name.


HUNTER, Floyd
eMail address: Floydhunte@aol.com

I am looking for the parents of Anton / Antone VOLLMER, born 31 December 1832 in Baden, Germany, emigrated to Illinois, and died in Macon County, Illinois on 2 March 1920. Anton / Antone was the son of Sylvester VOLLMER and Magdalina SLACHKER, both probably in Germany. SLACHKER may not be the correct spelling. Anton / Antone was the fifth child born, but I do not know the names of the other children. Anton / Antone married Mary Ann SWARTZ.

LYONS, Grace HYDELL
eMail address: GHL105@aol.com

I am researching my great grandfather, Seraphim HEIDELSPERGER, born in Baden in 1818. He possibly emigrated with his brother Anton and sister Magaret.

MULLIN-MEISSNER, Suzanne
eMail address: smullin@kiva.net
(Protestant)

I need assistance locating information on Cosmos BUERKLE and his parents, Arthur and Anna BUERKLE, from Baden, Germany. We believe that they were Protestant. We have pieced together that Cosmos was born 12 December 1864 in Baden-Baden, Germany, though we have been unable to confirm this information in Baden-Baden church records. Family stories suggest that Cosmos emigrated alone to the U.S. (port of entry unknown) in the early 1880's. He settled at Newark, New Jersey; married Mathilda FUCHS in 1901; and died in 1927. Any information on the BUERKLE family in Baden would be very much appreciated.

eMail address: seychelles@igalaxy.net

I am looking for information on John Henry DAMBACHER born in Baden, Germany in 1825. His father's name was Christian. In 1840 he came to America and arrived in Boston. About 1848 he came to California and located in Columbia where he was looking for gold. In 1851 he returned to Boston and married Barbara KLIEN who was also from the same part of Germany. They stayed in Boston for several years where at least one son was born, John Henry DAMBACHER II. About 1854 they sailed to San Francisco via the Panama Canal and then returned to Columbia, California. John died in 1878 and Barbara on 2 May 1903. Both are buried in Columbia, California, along with several other family members. I'm looking for information on the family in Germany and any information about John Henry while in the Boston area. I have very little information on Barbara KLIEN and any information on her is appreciated.

SCHNEIDER, Teri
eMail address: ICMOM@aol.com
(Roman Catholic)

My great grandfather was Albert E. SCHNEIDER, born in Germany about 1869 (relatives said he was from the Black Forest). Albert emigrated and became a baker at Alpena, Michigan. He married Barbara MERTLE who is listed as being from both Ohio and Kentucky. Albert died at age 42 in February 1911. His obituary in the Alpena Argus lists survivors as "the widow and six children," as well as a brother, Charles SCHNEIDER, formerly of Alpena. One of the six children was Albert George SCHNEIDER, my grandfather. I have no information on the SCHNEIDERs. I have been in contact with a MERTLE who lives in Newport, KY, which is right across the river from Ohio. His mother was a SCHNEIDER and he told me that "the MERTLEs and the SCHNEIDERTs have been intermarried since they were in Germany". He also said that there were some (I don't know whether he meant MERTLE or SCHNEIDER family members) who ran a brewery at Marietta, Ohio. He said that they were all from the German Black Forest and all Catholic.


SZLAVICH, Ronda SCHICK
eMail address: Kidz4TKLC@aol.com

Johannes and Catharine WERLIN TRONDLE moved to Sarrebruck after the birth of their son, also named Johannes TRONDLE, in 1785. Johannes TRONDLE (born 1785) married Marguerrite GILSINGER in 1815.

The spelling of TRONDLE was changed to TROENDLE when the French official registered Jean's birth. The name is from a fishing village in Trondle, Norway.


WUERTENBERG, Joseph Jr.
eMail address: WUERTENBER@aol.com>

I am researching Joseph WUERTENBERGER born in Baden, Germany in 1823. He emigrated to America, sailing at age 27 in 1850, landed at New Orleans and continued on to St. Louis, Missouri by boat. He married Mary Ann BENNIGEN on 2 November 1854. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Kimmswick, Missouri. Mary Ann came to America from Alsace Lorraine, France by steamship with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Frank NONSING. Joseph received his U.S. citizenship 13 October 1866 and his Missouri citizenship 30 Sep 1868. Joseph died 15 May 1901 at Kimmswick, MO. The children of Joseph WUERTENBERGER and Mary Ann BENNIGEN WUERTENBERGER were: Frank (died at age 2); Philip (died at birth); Margaret; Louise (married TEGMEYER); and Jacob born 16 November 1864 (at Kimmswick, Missouri or St. Louis, Missouri).

Jacob WUERTENBERG (1864) married Anna RITTEL on 20 December 1887. They had 13 children: George; William (born 13 June 1891 in Kimmswick or St. Louis, MO, died 22 May 1964); Phillip (born 17 January 1893, died 5 July 1978); Anna, married MILLER (born 4 November 1894, died 12 November 1982); Rose, married BUECHTING (born 25 October 1896, died 26 July 1926); Otto (born 6 May 1898, died 16 August 1976; Lizzie (twin--died at birth); Bertha (twin--died at 3 days old); Laura (still living); Christina, married KLABLE (still living); Gussie; and Leona, married PAUL (still living).

Before leaving Germany, Joseph WUERTENBERGER was Catholic; at one time they were affiliated with the Methodist Church on 9th Street in St. Louis, Missouri. Later they joined an Evangelical Church in Kimmswick, Missouri which gave them a Christian burial when they died. The rumor is that Joseph WUERTENBERGER was superstitious and dropped the "er" from WUERTENBERGER to WUERTENBERG because it had 13 letters.
