    3. Trying to find my grandfather, Clemens Wiegand, from Hesse - came to USA in October 1888, settled in Louisville, KY. The word - Lauderbach - is on his passport. He was born on March 5 or 7, 1860. Would like to find his family in Germany. I have the USA part.

    2. Jerome Dittman

    3. The first place to start is the city or town where they lived after emigrating. City directories of the years after their arrival will tell you in which part of the city they resided. Then, if, you know their religion you can locate a near by church of that religion and check it's records. The baptismal records of their children may give the town from which the parents emigrated from. From that you can go on to the area in Hesse where the town is/was located and search for the records there. That is the procedure that I used in locating the birth place, which were in Hesse and Hannover, of both sets of my German born great grandparents.

    1. German language help please

    3. Hello List - I have had some baptism records translated through the yahoo group (which I highly recommend). Sometimes when the maiden name of the mother of the child is given, an "in" is included after her surname. This is usually translated in brackets - e.g. Plazer(in), Schmitt(in). What does the "in" mean? Also, there are two men in the village with the same name (thankfully different wives names). One man usually appears with a very small "Son" above his name. Does this mean anything (such as the equivalent to junior in English)? thanks, Anita

    3. Thanks for your kindness in researching and replying. Suggested by another on the list, Burg-Grafenrode is possibly the place of interest. Will look at church records from there and watch for GAHN. The only name I know from there, so far, besides HESS, is Wilhelmine's maiden name, HELE (not sure about this, or its spelling). Best regards, Albert. Adodge74@aol.com wrote:Albert,are you related to the GAHN's in Hessen?

    3. Thanks for your kindness in researching and replying. "Rothgrafenburg" was mentioned in another document as the birthplace of a daughter Margaretha HESS; as a place name, Rothgrafenburg could be someone's version of Burg-Grafenrode. In any case, there are some church records available for Burg-Grafenrode, which I hope to examine soon. David Rorer <drorer@fuse.net> wrote:I suspect you have a misspelling.

    3. Hal, They probably attended the Reformed Church in Fellerdilln. Most of the records have been filmed by the Mormon Church and are available at the FHL of the Mormon Church. Bill Schultz

    1. Dillenburg 1700
    2. Hal Laube

    3. In about 1750 we have the Vollmer family living in Southwark District of Philadelphia. They came from Dillenburg in Dillkreis, Hessen-Nassau, Germany. They were Reformeirte which is not surprising since the Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, had converted from Evangelisch to Reformeirte in 1573. From what little I know of German Dialects I suppose they spoke Mittel-deutsch subgroup Rhein-fränkish?. Elisabetha Vollmerin married Michael Egolff in 1751. He was Lutheran born in Engstlatt/Engstadt, Würtemberg. These first Egolff's spoke Schwäbisch-alemannisch a subgroup of Ober-deutsch. Of course the language of love overcomes all such earthly obstacles as different dialects. The Reverend Muhlenburg, Lutheran minister of St. Michael's, married them in a quiet ceremony in her parent's home. Michael was a widower. Differences in religious beliefs have always been with us. This marriage was no exception. Elisabetha was married ten-years before she agreed to instruction in the Lutheran faith, but did she complete the process? Was Baptism necessary when becoming a Lutheran? There is no record that she became a Lutheran? The religious difference was probably exacerbated by the fact that the Vollmers lived next door to Jacob Duche. I guess Jacob was the son of the better known Anthony Duche. The Duche family owned a large part of Southwark. Anthony was a Huguenot and no doubt Reformed. So the Vollmer and Duche families attended First Reformed. while the Egolf's attended St. Michael's Lutheran. And Jacob Duche was Michael Egolff's landlord. However, they were known to be good friends - both loved horses. The War for our Independence tore them apart - Duche was a Loyalist - and in 1770 Anthony Duche fled to England. In September of that year General Howe took over Philadelphia - for the winter. The Egolf family moved west.... I would welcome a comment.... best regards Hal

    1. Dialect and church in 1700 Dillenburg?
    2. Hal Laube

    3. We have this concerning Elisabetha Voilmer born about 1729 in Dillenburg. mit Elisabetha gebürtig aus dem Nassauyschen Dellenburg ist, from a Fraktur probably commisioned in the early 1800's. We translate that to with Elisabetha (Vollmer), born in Dellenberg of Nassau,(about 1829)... Her parents were known to be Reformed. and I understand that is probably Dillenburg in Dillkreis, Hessen-Nassau, which is now Hesse? One question - What Reformed Church might they have attended? Second Question - What Dialect was spoken in Dillenburg? Best regards Hal

The location was in or about Oberhone, Kurthessen (Hessen-Nassau). MARTHA (Rost) HOENE, 4 daughters and one granddaughter came to America in 1882 and settled in Philadelphia for awhile. The 4 daughters were: Frederika - Margaretha - Louisa and Elizabetha (Eliza).

Obviously, the emigrants did whatever they could afford and what was easiest to accomplish. The ports of Le Havre, Rotterdam, Bremen, and Hamburg were the likeliest choices. Yes, there are a number of published sources for emigration information for Hesse. If you check out the information on the Hesse website you'll find the references to these sources. I've also mentioned them a number of times on this list, so they're in the archives for this list. You could also Google for "Auswanderungen". That should get some hits. Dona Ritchie

It says on a U.S. census record that Gotthard was from "Hesse-Darmstadt." Can anyone tell me what that means? Does that mean the city of Darmstadt? Does anyone have any info on any BURG families in this time period in the Hesse Darmstadt area? Also, it seems to me that Bremen is quite far from Hesse-Darmstadt. How likely is it someone would make that journey? Couldn't they have boarded a ship somewhere closer? Also, are there any emigration indexes (auswanderung) or lists for the Hesse-Darmstadt area?
