Greetings to everyone at ALLMACHER worldwide! My name is Patty Allmacher Manley. I reside in the small town of Salem, West Virginia, U.S.A. My grandfather, Gustav Allmacher arrived in this country in 1923. The ship he and his second wife (Emma, my step-grandmother) came over on was The Minnekahda from the port of Hamburg, Germany. They both resided at Erfurt, Germany prior to their departure to the U.S. Only this year (2001) have I begun to learn about my father's (William Clifford Allmacher) side of the family. My father was born in the U.S. (Philadelphia, PA). He and my mother divorced when I was young and my dad never came to see me, so I lost track of him and consequently never talked with him about his side of the family. I enjoy (with the help of my newly found family here in the U.S.) learning about my heritage. My grandfather was born in 1867, my step-grandmother, Emma, in 1885 in Germany. My grandmother (Gustav's first wife) was Blanch Wallace (maiden name) Allmacher but I have been told that she also at some time was known as Blanch Tudor. I haven't a clue regarding the name of Tudor. Does anyone out there in cyber space have any info regarding this??? If so please contact me at my email address: [email protected] Thank you.

Dear Allmacher researchers, in an attempt to coordinate ALLMACHER research worldwide I have set up a web page http://www.seelentags.de/allmacher/ which is still in its early stages. So far there is 1. an invitation to join our mailing list to discuss your questions on Allmacher research worldwide; 2. a list of mentions in American sources (ship lists, census data, ...) - many of which are not yet linked to each other, but still need further research. Should you have any connection to any of these mentions, please, let me know. Should you have any further mentions (prior to 1900) not yet listed, please, let me know as well. All Allmacher individuals I have been able to connect so far (mostly in Germany), are descendants of Jacob von Allenbach (*no* nobility - just indicating that he came from the village of Allenbach), showing up in the Trarbach area (Moselle, Germany) in mid-16th century. I have extracted all Allmacher entries in the Trarbach church records until early 19th century - so once your line has been traced to Trarbach and to this time, I can send you the remainder of your family tree to the 16th century. I hope you hear from you - Wolf
