I have George BERT, b. abt. 1748 Rohrbach, Starkenburg, Germany. He married Catherine Sophia (Bonin) Bonn in Rohrbach. I am having trouble figuring out just where this Rohrbach is. When i google it I get many different Rohrbach's in Germany. George and Catherine Bert had a son named John in 1784 also in Rohrbach. John imigrated to the United States in 1827. They may have been Waldensians. Deb

Hi Deb, Is there any reason to think they came from Hesse? Where did the son John immigrate to? Do you have any other information other than what you already gave?

Hi Bobbi, John ended up in Chambersburg, Franklin Co., Pa. The info on where they came from was in several obits. I know obits aren't always right, but I know someone else in the family, extended family, did some research and found it was right. We haven't exchanged research. There was a problem and she cut off contact. So I thought I was give it another try to see what I could find. This is what I have : 1. Paul Joseph Bert b. 1694 m Anne Christine Rambaut 2. George Bert b. abt. 1748 Rohrbach, Staqrkenburg, Germany m. Catherine Sophia Bonin in Rohrbach. 3. John Bert b. 11-14-1784 Rohrbach, m. Mary Unknown, John d. 1844 in Franklin Co. Pa. 4. Henry Clay Bert, b. 10-1-1827, mid ocean on a ship named Henry Clay. Henry d. 7-11-1906 in Barberton, Ohio. I have been able to find evidence that there was a ship called the Henry Clay. It was owned by The Tapscott Line, W. Tapscott and Company of Liverpool and Dublin. According to one of the obits they came in through N.Y. harbor in 1827, probably mid november. Henry was said to have been about six weeks old so if his birthdate is right mid nov. would be their arrival. I have not been able to find any kind of ships passenger list to prove this claim. I haven't worked on this line for some time so I thought I would give it another go.
