ADLER, Andreas
eMail address: andreas.adler@emnid.tnsofres.com
I am searching for members of the ADLER family from Silesia
(Schlesien) -- Stadt Frankenberg, Kreis Frankenstein,
Regierungsbezirk Breslau, Provinz Niederschlesien). I have only
some information about them: Josef ADLER and his wife, Theresin
HAUCK. Johann GRO&Szlig;PIETSCH died at Steinwitz, Kreis Glatz
and his wife, Katharina GELLRICH died at Steinwitz, Kreis Glatz.
Anton ADLER, born 30 March 1844 at Dürrkunzendorf, died 27
December 1901 at Frankenberg and his wife, Ida GRO&Szlig;PIETSCH,
born 10 August 1851 at Winsau Kreis Glatz, died 30 November 1925
at Frankenberg. They were married 07 January 1872 at Glatz.
Alfred ADLER, born 02 September 1896 at Frankenberg, died 10 July
1968 at Bad Oeynhausen and his wife, Hildegard HABICHT, born 18
January 1903 st Frankenberg, died 09 February 1996 at Löhne.
They married 12 July 1926 at Frankenberg, Kreis Frankenstein in
Schlesien. Rudolf ADLER, born 10 April 1927 at Frankenberg
missed after 2nd World War. Manfred ADLER, born 26 February 1931
at Frankenberg and his wife, Dorothea LEIMBACH, born 18 Januray
1939 at Volmerdingsen were married 23 September 1959 at
Volmerdingsen.
BAKNE, Julie
eNail address: BAKNEGGZ@aol.com
I learned of you from an assistant at the local LDS Research
Center. She said you may have a message board for churches in the
"Prussia" area. I am trying to locate the church / baptismal
record for my great-great-great-father Joseph BAUTSCH, born
approx 1822. On the 1860 U.S. Census he states he is from
Prussia. His father is Martin Bautsch. I do know his brother,
Frank, born in 1838 at Breslau, but he may have been the child of
Martin and a second wife as there are many years between them.
Also, Frank's side of the family was unaware of Joseph's
existence until I contacted them. I have a handwritten family
history from 1920 that lists all the siblings so I do believe I
have the correct family. I feel like I have hit a brick wall
with this. I have obtained Joseph's pension file from the Civil
War and it does not cite where he was born or his parents. He
died six days after returning from the Civil War of typhoid. I
cannot locate his grave and believe he was buried on the family
farm in an unmarked grave. I have found the farm and 1869
purchase papers in his "widow's" name. If you have any ideas, I
would appreciate it.
BOYD, Anne Textor
eMail address: Amtboyd@aol.com
I am looking for descendants of my great-great grandfather,
Freidrich Ludwig TEXTOR. He was born circa October 1789 and died
at Koln Germany 13 April 1862. His civil death records states he
was born at Frankenstein and his military death record states he
was born at Guhrau. I do not know who is parents were. In 1815
I found him as a Comptroller in the 14th Division of the Prussian
Army at Wesel. There he married Christina Bachmann. They were
the parents of twelve children, including: Pauline (1819); Carl
(1821); Henrietta (1822); Gustav (1824); Otillia (1826); Wilhelm
(my great-grandfather, 1828); Friedrich (1830, died at 10
months). A move that ended at Koln and his assignment to the
15th Division happened at this time. Albert (1832) was born in
Luxembourg and then the following children were born at Koln:
Joanna (1834); Auguste (1836); Rosalie Amanda (1838); and Hermine
Adolpine (1840). Any information about this family would be
appreciated.
BURY, Reverand Michael
eMail address: jmbury@recorder.ca
I am trying to locate information of my family. My great great
great grandfather was Freidrick Gottlieb Krischke born 12 May
1767 at Beilitz. He was an alderman in the City of Breslau in
1825 and died 1825. His son, Freidrich Heinrich Emil Krischke
was born at Breslau on 6 December 1816 and farmed at Woitsdorf
near Haynaer. He died 30 April 1880 at Goerlitz. His second
wife was Emma Philippi. Their son, George Freidrick Oscar
Krischke, was born 22 July 1855. He immigrated to Yorkshire,
England and married Mary Robertshaw. Their son, Joseph Emil
Rudolph Krischke, was my grandfather. Any additional information
on the family would be most welcome.
CLARKE, John R.
eMail address: johnrclarke_ga@msn.com
I am looking for information on the family of Frederick Carl
Wilhelm RICHTER, probably from Eresdorff ut. Reichenbach,
Silesia, PRUSSIA. He was born before 1750 and we know he was
married twice - first to a wife whose name is unknown and from
her he had one child that we know of - Carl Frederick RICHTER
(born 1769, died after 1833). Secondly he was married to Josepha
STEINERT about 1775. They had two children that we know of -
Carl Wilhelm RICHTER, Sr. (born 1779; died 1807) and a Lt. August
RICHTER (born 1792, died 1817) of the Prussian Army. August died
of injuries in 1817, which he probably received in the Napoleonic
Wars. I descend from Carl Wilhelm RICHTER, Sr. who immigrated to
St. Croix, Dutch West Indies about 1799 where he later married
Anna Mariah HOLLWECK, some say of Bergen, Norway.
His son, Carl Wilhelm RICHTER, Jr. was born in 1807 and died at
Madison, Morgan county, Georgia in 1884. He changed his name to
Charles William RICHTER (after his immigration to Georgia) about
1835. We know he graduated from the University of Bonn in the
1820 and married Anne Eliza POTTER (born 1808; died 1863),
daughter of Sir. Arthur POTTER, Governor General of the Dutch
West Indies. Charles and Anne Eliza RICHTER are my
great-grandparents and they are buried at Madison, Morgan county,
GA. We know that Carl Frederick RICHTER contacted Carl Wilhelm
(Charles William) RICHTER, Jr. in 1833 requesting that he leave
some legacy from his Uncle August's (who died in 1817) will to
Carl Frederick's daughters who were then rather destitute. We do
not know if he did or not. It seems Carl Fredericks had hit on
hard times and his daughters (identified as a Charlotte and a
Louise) needed the money. We have a copy of this original letter
sent to Carl Wilhelm, Jr., but we do not know what he did in the
matter. If you have any information on this family, I would like
to hear from you.
FOX, George
eMail address:
My great-great-grandmother, Josepha SCHOLZ, was said to have
worked as a nursemaid for "The Royal family of Prussia" at
Breslau, Silesia. This was probably somewhere between 1805-1830.
Whoever her employer was, he must have been wealthy, because he
gave her a gold necklace as a gift. It has some royal blue gold
on it, also. Do you have any idea who this ruler might have
been? Also, is there any information about Josepha Scholz? Her
father was a teacher and author, and he lived at Sholz-
Shreibsdorf. I don't have any dates. She married Karl KUSCHEL
and they lived at Frankenberg, Silesia. They had four sons,
Karl, Gregor, Joseph and Albert, and one daughter Philomena, who
was born in 1841 at Frankenberg. Thank you for any help you can
give.
HOENISCH, Bruni
7016 Lakeridge Drive, Vernon, Brtish Columbia V1H-1P5 Canada
eMail address: hoenisch@junction.net
I am trying to find the ancestors of my husband's grandfather.
Karl HOENISCH was born 17 March 1856 at Breslau (Althofduerr ?),
Silesia, Germany; he died 9 July 1940 at Breslau and he is buried
at Domslau (Breslau). He married Rosina FRIMELT, who was born 30
August 1856 at Althofduerr ? and died 30 January 1913. It is
possible that Karl or his father was called: "von HOENISCH"
(nobility) and he may have had to sell his patent of nobility
because of debts. According to legend, the family was granted
land by Frederick the Great of Prussia. There is also the story
that a Hoenisch served under Trenk de Pandur - a general in Maria
Theresia's army on the opposite site. I am very grateful for any
information. Thank you.

I have the following sources: - Carl Sigismund KEPPER, in 1790 a
student at the Albertus University at Königsberg in East
Prussia, born at the village of Tepliwoda near the town of

KUEMMERER, Ernest
eMail address: EKuemmerer@aol.com
(Roman Caatholic)
I am researching the surnames HAMMER and HAMMER von HAMMERSTEIN
from Gryfice, Poland (or, as previously known - Greiffenberg,
Germany). My grandfather was Gustav HAMMER who was born at
Greiffenberg in 1864. His father was Paul HAMMER; no other
information is known about him. His mother was Amelia SCHOBER,
born in 1825 and died at Budapest Hungary in 1900. He had two
sisters, Josefina Angelotti, born in 1861. No information is
known about his sister Paula Hotingue. Between 1864 and 1900 the
family name changed from HAMMER to HAMMER von HAMMERSTEIN. My
great Grandmothers death notice in 1900 reflects this name
change. It reads, in German, "Amalie Hammer von Hammerstein
geborn Schober, Eisenbahn-Unterehmers-Witwe", which translates to
a "widow of a railroad industrialist". My question is how did he
obtain the "von Hammerstein" title and why? Could someone give
me directions on how best to research church records in Gryfice /
Greiffenberg Poland? The family was Roman Catholic.
LOMAX, Mrs. Phyllis
email address: phi602@home.com
I am trying to trace my ancestors, namely Henry Charles von
NASCHKE, born at Breslau in 1826. He married Pauline / Paulina
HEISLER, also from Breslau, born 1839. Henry was my
great-grandfather. He became the Mayor (Burgermeister) of
Breslau in
about the 1850's, then immigrated to the USA (Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania) and my grandfather was born there in 1858. I have
been trying to find out if there are any other Naschke's there or
any records that I could have access to. I would be most
grateful just to hear something.

PORTER, David
eMail address: david.porter@lmco.com
We are trying to trace our family. I have listed what we think we
know below. Any sugestions on where to direct our efforts would
be appreciated. Alfred John LINDNER was born in Germany 16 April
1887. He immigrated to the United States just before World War
I. We believe we have found an Ellis Island entry record for
him. It that shows he had been a resident of "Forsheim" (which is
probably "Pforzheim") and arrived 25 October 1914 at the age of
27, but that may have just been where he mustered out of the
service. He had served on a ship in the German Navy as an
"engineer" and may have received some sort of medal. In the
family files, there is a picture of a man in a motorized
wheelchair who addresses him as "Bruder" and signs his name
Hermann. There are several pictures that reference Liegnitz (now
Legnica, Poland) with no names or writing. After arriving in New
York, Alfred is next seen in Spring of 1917, married to a woman
in the San Francisco Bay area, living at Pinole, California, and
working for the Oleum refinery. This is all we know so far. Any
assistance would be appreciated.

REICHLT, born 1849 in Schlesien. I am also researching Karl's

will be appreciated.
SACHS, Dan

(Jewish)
It looks like there is a wealth of genealogical information on
Silesia available through your website and links. Do you know
whether Jewish marriages are included in Die Eheschliessungen
in der Schlesischen Provinzialblattern (1785-1849)?
Webmaster's Note: It is hard to tell since no religion is
listed and you give no specific persons or surnames to look
for.

TANTERL, Angelika

eMail address: ATanterl@t-online.de
I am searching for my SILESIAN ANCESTORS that immigrated in 1905
and 1908 to Nebraska, USA. I already was searching on the ONLINE
CENSUS LISTS of Nebraska, 1920, but there are just a few counties
online, and I didn't find them. Is there a possibility to get
information whether they are listed in the other counties? The
two people are my great aunt and great uncle, sister and brother
of my Grandma, which all were born at Hockenau / Liegnitz in
lower Silesia. Unfortunately my mother just remembers the maiden
name of her aunt: PAULINE SCHOLZ, born 1886, married in Nebraska
to an Irish immigrant, a daughter named Eleanor, and probably
died in the 1940's of breast cancer. The other is GUSTAV SCHOLZ,
born 1882,, married (name unknown), three children, probably died
during a tornado (about 1930) in Nebraska. Thank you for any
answer

VLAANDEREN, Mike
email address: vlandren@tpg.com.au
I have been researching my mother's family tree and I have been
able to search back to 1833 to my great-great-grandfather, J.
Gottlieb PRATSCH (born 1833). It is believed he came from
Silesia and immigrated to Norway where he married Ingeborg
Jakobsen (born 1832 at Christania, Norway). They had 2 children:
Karl Hendrik Johan Pratsch and Charlotte Pratsch. Karl and
Charlotte were born in Arendal Norway, Karl on 2nd May 1863 and
Charlotte in 1866. Karl immigrated to Australia and married a
Norwegian girl, Inga Hansine GRONVOLD (her family came to
Australia in 1871) and they had 1 son named Leonard Stanley
Pratsch. As I can't read or speak German it is difficult for
me to get any information prior to 1833. Yours sincerely.
WOHLFAHRT, James L.
Texas, USA
eMail address: jdwohlf@txucom.net
I am searching for the ancestors of my grandfather, Paul
WOHLFAHRT, born 9 October 1859 at Strehlen. He immigrated to the
USA (from Bremen to Baltimore) 26 October 1882 on the ship "SS
Salier". He was in the Prussian Army and had a brother, Reinhold
/ Reinholdt G. WOHLFAHRT, born 22 January 1862 at Strehlen, who
immigrated to the USA (Bremen to Baltimore) on 12 June 1881 on
the ship "SS Leipzig". Ship manifests don't give much
information. I am looking for leads to church, military,
emigration requests, or other records that might lead me to these
roots. Thank you.
ZOELLER, Jack
eMail address: jzoeller@atlanticare.com
I am searching for Silesian birth and marriage records for two
brothers: August ZOELLER and his wife Maria, and Friedrick W.
ZOELLER and his wife Pauline - who emigrated from Aschitzau,
Kreis Bunzlau, Niederschesien to Alden, Erie County, New York in
1856. According to their ship passenger list, the family name
may have been ZOELLNER; however the name appears as ZOELLER in
naturalization and other records in New York and has survived
without the "N". Portions of three other families from the same
village of Aschitzau (population 500) crossed on this same ship:
SCHEIBE, CONRAD, and ZAECKEL. The children of August and Maria
ZOELLER who accompanyied them to the US were daughters Auguste
and Ernestine and sons Friedrick and Ernst (later called
Charles). Based on their church affiliation in New York, I
believe the ZOELLER family would have been members of the
evangelical parish of Thommendorf, Kreis Bunzlau. SCHEIBE was
probably the maiden name of the wife of August or Friedrick
ZOELLER. To clarify these relationships, I would appreciate any
advice on locating the archive holding the Evangelisch
Kirchenbucher for Thommendorf. Can anyone provide an eMail or
regular mail address that I should contact? For those interested
in German names, ZOELLER / ZOELLNER is derived from the word for
"toll collector" or "customs man". Fittingly, the two towns of
Aschitzau and Thommendorf (where the ZOELLER family lived and
went to church) are connected by a small bridge over the River
Queiss (about 15 miles northwest of Bunzlau). This river formed
the boundary between Upper Lusatia and Lower Silesia in the 17th
century (at least). Does anybody know the time frame and
circumstances under which the German population in this region
began to take on last names?
