I am searching for the ancestors of Jakob ULLINGER, born 1834 at Morbach, Rhine-Bavaria, Germany. Jakob left Germany for London, England sometime before 1858. His father is listed on his marriage certificate as Peter ULLINGER, a carpenter and stonemason. The family was Lutheran.

I am searching for the ancestors and descendants of Conrad ZACHERETH born about 1664 who died in 1740 at Leizenhoff / Leuzenhof in the parish of Pappenberg, Bavaria. His wife was BARBARA (last name unknown). Conrad and Barbara had a son, Johann, who married Catherina BROESL in 1722 at Langenbruck, parish of Vilseck, Regensburg diocese, Bavaria. Johann ZACHERETH died in Hoehlziechen, parish of Vilseck, Regensburg diocese, in 1724. The name is variously spelled ZACHERETH / ZACHERT / ZAGERT/ ZACHER, depending on the country and time period. The village of Hoehlziechen no longer exists, but was located near Vilseck, as is Langenbruck. I am not sure about the location of Leuzenhof and Pappenberg.

I'm looking for some information on Michael KOESTNER, born 27 December 1882 somewhere in Bavaria. He was a blacksmith. He immigrated to the United States in the early 1900's. His fathers name was Michael Koestner and the mother's name is not known.
Webmaster's Note: He has been asked twice by eMail about the Koestner family from Gottschee. No reply.

I am seeking information on or for relatives of Johann GEITNER of Wilfertshofen (part of Lauterhofen), Bavaria, born approx 1774, died 9 July 1853. His first wife was a) Anna Margarethe NICLAS of Deinschwang (a farmers daughter). They were married on 21 April 1807, she died in childbirth 7 December 1808, and the unnamed child died, 6 December 1808. Johann GEITNER then married b) Anna Margarethe WEBER of Eidelberg on 25 July 1809 and died 16 July 1852, leaving the following family: 1) Johann Leonard GEITNER, born 24 November 1810, died 15 December 1810; 2) Johann GEITNER, born 5 December 1814, had epilepsy; 3) George GEITNER, born 10 April 1813, immigrated to America (my great-great-great-great-grandfather), died 1 April 1884. The guardian for his inheritance was Jacob WEBER, hence, my family line starts here. 4) Elisabeth GEITNER, born 6 October 1814, married a George GEITNER at Engelberg; 5) Anna Maria GEITNER, born 19 March 1825, unmarried at home; 6) Willibald GEITNER, born 12 February 1819, heir to family farm, court papers state he purchased from his siblings. I believe he married and had a son named Willibald GEITNER; 7) Theresia GEITNER, born 30 July 1822, married Michael ATZMANNSDORFER, from Traunfeldm and 8) Margarethe GEITNER, born 21 May 1816, married Johann GOTTSCHALK from Buch - the church parish of Polling. George B. GEITNER may have fled to America to avoid service in the Barvarian army, but am not absolutely sure. We are unsure if was legal or illegal (emigration). George left Bremen on the ship "Anna Emilie", arrived New York Port 4 July 1844. George married Elizabeth EICHENMÜLLER (EICHENMUELLER / EICHENMULLER) who came from Reisach to port of Balitimore on the ship "Martha" on 1 September 1845; along with her was a 1 year old daughter Elisabeth and a sister Anna, 22 years old. Elizabeth and George married on 14 October 1845 and lived at St. Marys, Pennsylvania.

I am looking for information on the parents of Conrad HERMSDORFER, born at Neudrossenfeld, Bavaria, Germany to Peter HERMSDORFER and Wunderly HOUSTEFFIE in May 1859. He served in the military before immigrating to America. He arrived at the Port of New York on 7 October 1883 with sister Annie (Anne) HERMSDORFER, who was born in 1848 in Bavaria and died in 1940. They settled in Cambria county, Pennsylvania. He became a naturalized citizen on 4 September 1895. On 18 February 1888 he married Sarah A. STUDT, the daughter of Charles and Barbara E. STINE / STUDT at Wilmore, Pennsylvania. He was the father of 3 children: Mary Edna, born 15 April 1888 (she married Otto Rollo WILLS), died 6 May 1970; Carl Frederick, born 13 December 1894 (he married Mary Catherine NOON), died 21 December 1948; and Lillian Myra, born 3 September 1900 (she married Albert A. MC MULLEN / McMULLEN), died 21 July 1983. Conrad died 23 April 1923. His wife, Barbara, died 1 November 1940. Anne HERMSDORFER married John MERKLE who was born in 1844 and died in 1921. The entire family is buried at Lillydale Cemetery at Lilly, Pennsylvania. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to do my WEBER family genealogy. Johann WEBER was born 1817 or 1823 in Hannover, Germany and and Martin MORSHAUSER was born 1829 at Eschenbach, Bavaria.

I am searching for information as to the ancestors of Johann Wilhelm Andreas REGENSBURG, born at Jena, Bavaria in 1829. He married (at New York City on 13 June 1852) Auguste Christiane HAUSMANN, born at Holzmuenden, Braunschweig, Germany in 1830. They could be either Roman Catholic or Lutheran.

I am looking for my BACKES ancestors. My great-great- grandfather immigrated from Bliesen in Saarland in 1851 to New York. Nicholas BACKES was born 10 May 1849, the son of Nicholas BACKES and Catherine NUMAN. He married Mary MILLER, although I am not sure whether that took place in Europe or the United States. In New York Nicholas and Mary had the following children: Henry, 1876; Nicholas, 1878; Theresia, 1880; Johan, 1885; and Frank, 1887. In 1900 they were living at the city of Buffalo, New York. His death certificate lists his place of birth as 'Pliesng' (sic). Several knowledgeable people have advised me that this is most likely Blies-Ebersing, Moselle, Lorraine, France. I am pursuing this lead and have ordered civil and church records from the local LDS Family History Center. Any contributions or questions would be welcomed.

I am seeking information on any children of the 20 April 1777 marriage at Hohenberg of Johann Lorenz RIESS, born 10 January 1751 at Ottenlohe by Hohenberg (the son of Johannes RIESS, born 4 September 1707 at Dietersgrun, died 7 February 1769 at Ottenlohe & Magdalena BAUERNFEILD) with: Margaretha Maria GEBHARDT, born at Raithenbach (the daughter of Johann GEBHARDT). I believe (but need more information to confirm) that one of the RIESS children (Johann RIESS) of the above marriage wed, on 18 October 1801 at Grafenreuth to Eva Margaretha STÖHR (STOEHR / STOHR), born 15 May 1784 at Grafenreuth, died 7 April 1846 at Grafenreuth (the daughter of Johann Adam STÖHR (STOEHR / STOHR) and Margaretha Katherina STELZNER, born at Suessen, Kreis Wunsiedel). I believe that information currently published in various databases, as to the identity (birth date, parents, etc) of Eva Margaretha's husband is in error. Just as a point of information, a number of the children from this RIESS / STÖHR (STOEHR / STOHR) marriage immigrated to Jefferson County, Wisconsin. The children of the above RIESS / GEBHARDT marriage were likely born at Ottenlohe by Hohenberg, therefore the birth records would likely be in the Hohenberg church books, which are kept at the archive in Regensberg. I know, I can request informaation from Regensberg, but do not want to duplicate work (and expense) already done. The above-noted marriage of Johann Lorenz RIESS to Margaretha Maria GEBHARDT should not be confused with the marriage of Johann Lorenz's brother, Georg RIESS on 4 February 1770 in Hohenberg, with Anna Rosina GEBHARDT. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have much information to share.

Their daughter, Annelore GOLD, was born 16 December 1929 in Ulm, and came to the United States in December 1960. Helena GOLD's parents were Cresentia and Aloise GOLD. The family was Catholic.

English: It is my hobby to find out the history of my ancestors. The brother of my grandmother immigrated to the USA - Adolph (Adolpp or Adolf) Gustav KOPP, born 02 May 1850 at Thomashof, Bavaria, Germany. His parents were Kaspar Friedrich KOPP and Auguste, geborene (nee) G&UNTHER (GUENTHER / GUNTHER). They depaarted Breemen Germany on the ship "Coriolan" and arrived at the port of New York on 07 July 1869. Adolph Kopp had learned in Germany watch handicraft, but in Amerika he was a housekeeper. I would be, therefore, very grateful for the short information, whether you have a possibility (of finding more information on him). I would like very much to get in contact with his descendants. I thank you very much in advance for your kind reply. Yours faithfully.

En deutsche: ich habe erfahren, daß Sie auch Familienforschung betreiben. Da ich schon seit vielen Jahren vergeblich Nachkommen von dem Bruder meines Ur-Großvaters suche, der nach Amerika ausgewandert ist, bitte ich um eine kurze Nachricht, ob Sie solche Nachforschungen auch gegen Bezahlung übernehmen und zu welchen Bedingungen. KOPP, Adolph Gustav, geboren am 02.05.1850, Thomashof, Germany ausgewandert am 07.07.1869, von Bremen nach New York, mit dem Schiff Coriolan Er hat das Uhrmacherhandwerk erlernt, soll aber in Amerika, vermutlich New York (?) eine Gastwirtschaft betrieben haben. Dann verliert sich leider meine Spur! Für jeden noch so kleinen Hinweis wäre ich Ihnen dankbar und würde mich über Ihre Nachricht sehr freuen!
