> Hi Beth and list, Rausch was her maiden name. According to her death certificate (1898), she was in the US for 51 years and in the city of Brooklyn for 28 years. I know that she was living in New York City (Manhattan) in the mid 1860s because she married Emmerick Reiss around 1863 and they had children born in 1864 and 1866. Only the male child born in 1866 survived into adulthood. In the mid-1860s, she and her husband were living at 232 E. 11th Street, Manhattan. I checked city directories for the Rausch name. One, John C. Rausch was living at the same address as Mary Elisabeth and her husband in 1865. The 1860 census has only two Bavarian Rausch families enumerated in Manhattan: Frederick, age 51, in the 11th Ward and Elizabeth, age 50, in the 17th Ward. I believe that these are related. Frederick's son is a jeweller app. There is no Mary Elisabeth in that family, but the man who married Mary Elisabeth was a jeweller at that time. Elizabeth has a daughter, age 19, named Elizabeth. I think that daughter may be our Mary Elisabeth. By 1870, M.E. and her husband and son were living at 156 Hope Street, Brooklyn. She died in Brooklyn at the home of her son, Francis J. "Frank" Reiss. I have no info on parents or siblings. She has descendants through her son's children, Mary Elisabeth, Charles Francis and Louis Frank, born between 1891 and 1894. There is a picture of Mary Elisabeth with her three grandchildren on my website if anyone would like to see them. http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/tomjackfl This is the extent of my knowledge of the Rausch family. I would like to learn more.

Hi Jackie Reading your mail last week I was sure the place can only be Bad Brueckenau in the diocese of Wuerzburg. What I found in the archives there was this: Caspar Rausch, son of Nicolaus Rausch and Caecilia Moeller was born May 8, 1793, in Brueckenau and got married at least three times. He was a landlord running a sort of restaurant in Brueckenau Nr. 102. His first wife was Theresia Ebert. He must have had at least one child with her. On January 6, 1838 he married Josepha Schmitt (sine corona), a carpenters daughter;who had a child with him before marriage (because of this "sine corona", married without veil), Barbara Amalia, born 15 January 1836, who was legitimized by subsequent mariage. The next child, Maria Theresia was born January 14, 1939 and is the second child (girl) in second mariage. (So it is written.) "Anonyma" was born 2nd January 1842 was baptized in extremis by the midwife. If she survived this might be Elisabeth, but written is anonyma. The mother was Margaretha Theresia Halbleib and this must be his third mariage. (written: first child first girl from third marriage) Augusta Theresa Friederike was baptized around 1845 and Georg Anton 1847. I have not found any Elisabeth. But going to USA, Maria Theresia, for example, can have changed her first name. This was not unusual. For sure she did not emigrate on her own being only 7 years of age. Can you not find any of these other names on the ship when they emigrated? I hope this helps. This man, Caspar Rausch, is the only one with this name in that place for centuries. Even later the name is not found any more. So I am quite sure he is the father of Elisabeth.
