That could explain why I could never find him in the census - I knew he had to be there. I can't get on Heritage Quest right now to confirm, but it seems right. Also, I can't find a Johann Carl Sterr on familysearch.org - but there are other Sterrs (Johann Jacob) from Neckarhausen. What am I doing wrong? I really appreciate your help.

Here's a second report on this question. If you go to FamilySearch.org and fill in the name of Johann Sterr with a birth year of 1832 + or - two years, you will get a number of responses, one of which is for a man named Johann Carl Sterr, born on 24 June 1833, in the town of Neckarhausen in the Black Forest region of Wurttemberg. His parents were Carl Ferdinand Sterr and Christina Vogel. If that isn't it, just keep trying the name with variations in spelling, etc. You may get lucky.

There appears in the 1880 census a family headed up by one John Starr living in Toledo, Ohio. His wife is Elizabeth and there are 2 children and what appears to be a brother-in-law named Gottleb Esinger and another young man named Christian Ranknecht. John Carl's birthplace and that of his parents is listed as Wurttemberg. His age is given as 46, meaning a birth year of 1834. This would appear to be your man. I wouldn't be concerned about the lack of exactitude in the census record. They just aren't perfect, at least that has been my experience with them. Hope this will be helpful. Eric Schaal, p.s. I grew up in the Toledo area where there were many Germans from Wurttemberg, including my own family. -----Original Message----- From: baden-wurttemberg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:baden-wurttemberg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Cathy Neall Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 10:25 AM To: baden-wurttemberg@rootsweb.com Subject: [BW] Sterr I've hit a wall - maybe somebody can help with this.

It's interesting that the record from 1880 has him in Albany, N.Y. working as a tailor and unmarried. In fact his description appears to be old batch. 20 years later he is married to Josephine (for 14 years) and living in Chicago with three children and employed as a cutter of clothing. The 1880 report has his birthplace as Wurttemberg, the later ones simply Germany. You really do have to take all the evidence to get a complete picture.

When I try his name in Familysearch.org I get one response which is from the 1880 federal census showing him as a single man born in 1845, a tailor by profession, coming from Wurttemberg. I don't know if you have found that yet. You will need to look at the actual census report to find anything further. If you don't subscribe to Ancestry.com, then you will need to find a library or friend which does and can provide you access to the actual census record. By the way my great grandmother came from Odenheim, a small farm town in Baden, which I visited this past May. It is a lovely place where I still have relatives living. Small world isn't it? Good luck!

I would like some help if at all possible, My maiden name was Bock and I know that is a German name. I have found my family back to the revolutionary war. Michael Bock signed up in Harrison County, Va. { that is now W.Va.} I have his papers from the revolutionary war and it said that Michael and his father moved down the Monongaila River, But it never said who his father was, no name. The family was always told that Michael's father was a Hans Michael Bock that came to the United States at a very early age. I found a Leonard Bock that came to the United States in 1731 with his family, a Wife Elizabeth Kiefer and five children, One son was Hans Michael Bock one or two years old and the time line fits, Hans would have been around twenty-eight years old when my Michael was born, so this is possible. This family went to Bucks County, Pa. And then I can't find them. Michael's war papers said that Michael and his father moved from Fredricktown, Md. I would like to connect these two people if possible. Please help me find out what happend to Hans Michael Bock after he landed in the United States.> > Thank You> > Kathy> > sterntj@hotmail.com> > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________> Get ideas on sharing photos from people like you.

I am also interested in a KUHNE - Melchior KUHNE, CONY, KUEHNY and various spellings. The little info I have is this: he was married to the sister of Johannes Brown/Braun. Braun and 2 sisters came over. I do not know if they were married when they came or if the Kuhne marriage took place later. Though my info calls her Mrs.Cony, that is the only place it is so spelled. Braun is listed as a veterinary surgeon, and had three sons who served in the Rev. War. I am descended from Johannes Braun, the son.

A smith is someone who works with iron, as a blacksmith. A Georg Oehler arrrived at Castle Gardens, according to their website, 20 Apr 1852 on the ship Favorite from Bremen. His occupation is listed as "blacksmith" and his age is given as 22. Your Jacob's middle name may be George. >From Ancestry I found the following: Jakob Oehler Year: 1854 Age: 20 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1834 Place: North America Source Publication Code: 8057.10 Primary Immigrant: Oehler, Jakob Annotation: Date of application to emigrate and intended destination.

That means: Instead of value from his capitial: His parents gave him money for his journey. So I think you understood it right. They must pay a fee for emigrate to his tycoon or mornach. This fee was calculate from their capital. Also the must pay for papers and other things.
