Surnames: Batcheler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qk.2ADI/2058 Message Board Post: Hello, This is my first time here, and it is very late (just past two a.m.) as I have been on a chase tonight. My birth father's name is Russell Batcheler. I haven't seen him since 1968 as he and my mother divorced and I was subsequently adopted by my step-father. My paternal grandmother, Blanche Batcheler, was very loving and, although she never saw me again, remembered me in her will when she died in the mid-90's! The reason I'm on a chase is that I know absolutely nothing about my paternal grandfather, and both my full-sister and I share strong physical traits which come from our father (and grandfather it is assumed) i.e. darker complexion and general Mediterranean or Romany (Gypsy) features. So naturally, I have a number of questions as to nation of origin and ancestry. What makes this search difficult is that my paternal grandfather was not even present at my mother & father's wedding in California. My paternal grandmother was present, and it from all appearances it looks as if she raised my father as a single mother, and, perhaps, never married the man who fathered her child. What I have always known is that my grandmother was "a farm girl in Iowa" as she always used to tell us. After much guesswork, it appears that the highest concentration of Batcheler's I have found in Iowa have been in Clinton County. One hunch I have is that after the birth of my father my grandmother (being an unwed single mother in the mid 30's) moved with him to California, "the land of opportunity"! Thus, although I am a great researcher (and love it, too!!) I am in need of assistance from others who are in the area and may have access to more information than I can gather remotely. Batcheler (and it is this spelling exactly) hasn't appeared on any of the surname lists I've seen from Clinton county, so that adds to the mystique of this search! :) Thank you for any and all suggestions, recommendations or other assistance!!

His son William G. BERNER was my GG Grandfather and the first to show up in Iowa. He married Catherine JACKSON on October 14, 1854 in Cohocton, Steuben County, New York and he died on August 1, 1902 in Oxford Junction, Cedar County, Iowa. He and Catherine had 3 sons named Victor William, Jerome Joseph, and Albert H. along with 1 daughter named Alice Katherine. My G Grandfather was Albert H. BERNER who married Martha "Mattie" LILLIE on April 5, 1882. He was born in Liberty Twp., Clinton County, Iowa on April 1, 1860. They had 2 sons and 4 daughters named Ida Lillian, Albert H. Jr., Neva, Norma, Adrian, and Marion. My Grandmother was Ida Lillian. None of the names you mentioned have shown up in my research, and it does not appear that our lines cross, however I wanted to provide you with some of the names in my line in case you have further info or might discover further info in the future. Good Luck! Robyn

My grandfather, Otto F. Berner,born in Germany with parents August & Caroline Drymann Berner from Germany. I saw 2 brothers listed as Farmers 1880-1890 circa in Clinton county, IA. Someone named, Richard Carstensen, sent me a listing of burials in Clinton County,IA, but not in DeWitt, IA. I think that the Berner Brothers listing came from DeWitt. Otto married Emma Johnson High on July 02,1900. There is also a relationship to Albrecht. Carl & Christiann Salzuder (Ssalzieder) Albrecht came from Anklam, Pommern, Germany and one of the 7/8 children married into the High family. Emma's family lived in Davenport, Scott,IA. Otto had a partner, Gustav A. Schumacher, and they ran a saloon, billiard palor and liquor store in Rock Island, IL(across the river from Davenport, IA. Both partners had a wife names Emma.

Good Morning Everyone: I would like to thank you all for the wonderful emails you sent regarding the info that was lost on my computer. I'm sorry I could not answer each and every one. I have the Archives straightened out at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ usgenweb/ia/clinton/clinton.htm We have added bunches of census info. The 1880 abstracts are complete and we are starting name lists for 1900 and 1910, thanks to Alaine and Dick. I am also the coordinator for the Iowa State Census Project and I have a few things to add on that site. When I am finished there, I will be working full force on the Clinton site. The Clinton County Historical Society has had some wonderful additions, one being a new microfilm reader and microfilm. These include marriages, births and deaths for the early part of the 1900s. I hope to get some indexes online for these. They will also be getting the 1930 census on microfilm. Fran, our wonderful typist, has started to type up the 1929 Clinton city directory, to make finding some of the names on the 1930 census a bit easier. There is no printer for the microfilm reader, but you are more than welcome to stop by the museum and use the reader. They are open Sat., Sun., and Wed., from 1-4 pm or by appointment. The CCHS also has some wonderful programs coming up. There is no cost to stop by. The programs are usually on Sundays. On April 7, Gloria Wall will present a program called "Care and Feeding of Your Quilts", April 28 will be a program on Schleswig-Holstein Germany and on May 5 they will have a bridal gown display. These are just a few of the wonderful things they have in store for you. I hope you can find time to stop by. The gene library is also open during museum hours and is full of great items with new things being added all the time. Mike Lynch has taken some wonderful photos of Clinton's churches and a few other historic buildings. You can see them at http://photomail.photoworks.com/sharing/album.asp?Key=5732169455450401 I have recieved the most intriguing query -- can anyone fill us in on this? >I know you are very busy but wondered if you knew of a website that had >any info on the Italian POW camp that was located on the cliff above >Bluff bldv.
