Hi, Bobbi! We have actually had contact before and I am glad to reconnect with you. I had the same problem with 'Von Fenderland'. Actually, the only information I know has come from you. I know my ggrandfather married a Native woman, who in turn married a Native woman, down to my father's mother. So, my father is Native with German. Is there any thing else you can tell me? I am so grateful for all the work you have put in to our family line. -- -- Beatye Adrian Seattle Indian Health Board [email protected] wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: MyFamilyTree123 > Surnames: Adrian, Kohlbeck, Goetzer, Suesa, Kuhn > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.adrian/4.57.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Hi, > > Your Great-grandfather was the brother of my 2nd great-grandfather Frederich Adrian. Their father's name was Christian Adrian, their mother was listed as Maria Adrian on the ship's manifest, and on Frederich's death certificate as Maria Von Fenderland. I searched in vain for years for that surname or anything like it . I finally was told by a fellow researcher who spoke and read German that Von Fenderland wasn't a surname. It means "from the fatherland." So all I know about her is that her name was Maria, (called Mary in census records), and that once they emigrated from Germany, they lived the rest of their lives and died in Pittston, Pa. > > Henry and Frederich had another brother, Christian. He and Frederich were members of their company's band in the Civil War. Christian served twice, both times in the band, but with another company. They also had a sister Caroline, born 1839 in Hesse Daarmstadt. I've been researching this line for 30 years. You may already know all this, but If there's anything more you'd like to know about the family, let me know. I have most of the census records for your Henry and Rosina's family, christening records and some World War 1 draft cards for some of the family men. > > Bobbi > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Beatye,  It's good to hear from you again! It's been a good while since I've done any genealogy. Been very busy with the horses, dogs, cat and the farm. If I remember correctly, your William Adrian (son of Henry and Rosina Schmaltz?) married Inez Looney. Do I have that right?  I haven't come across anything new on your line, but I still have the census records and hard copies of christening records for some of Henry Adrian's family, if I can find them. Is there any particular information you're looking for? keep in touch. Bobbi ________________________________ From: Beatye Adrian <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Fri, May 7, 2010 7:17:09 PM Subject: Re: [ADRIAN] Adrian Family from Germany in NY Hi, Bobbi!
