Einecke married my grandfather's sister, Gisella Amalia Lutenberg (Emma)in 1891. In 1900 his father Henry was living with them in Quincy. 1880 census lists a Simon but no Samuel living with Henry and Maria, could be the same person? The Lutenberg family was neighbors to the Eineckes in the 9th and Payson neighborhood. Samuel died in MI and Emma returned to Quincy, she died after 1930. They had one son, Charles Harold Einecke 13 Mar 1904-30 Nov 1979. He was a doctor of music, organist, master of choristers and carillonneur at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Evangelist in Spokane, Washington. He returned to Quincy to play concerts at the Vermont Street Methodist Church in Quincy in 1954 and 1970. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

They do not seem to be there - or anywhere - in 1870. I'm looking for the David P. Foster who was over in Montgomery Co., IN in 1870 with wife Mary Jane. By 1880, she is in KS with Fred FoRster.

This is why I'm wondering. My deceased grandma's name was Mary (or on her birth certificate Maria) Puskac. In the USA she always pronounced it like "push"-"kash". I remember that in Hungarian pronounciation the /s/ and the /c/ have different pronounciations than in English. She came from the Austrian Hungarian Empire from a town called Zavod. Now it is in Slovakia. Before it was in Czechoslovakia. But, she said that her family was Slovakian and spoke Slovakian too, not Czech. Then I found out that our name Puskac, prounounced "push-kash", is actually a Hungarian name. She said they never spoke Hungarian although it had been taught in schools. Anyway, Zavod is right on the border with Hungary and not too far from Bratislava in Slovakia. Her father was Joseph Puskac and his father was Sebastian Puskac, also from the same town. She entered Ellis Island with her grandfather Sebastian Puskac in 1908. She was born in Slovakia in 1900. Now, here is where things get interesting. Although I don't think we are probably related, maybe this will help you. On the census records I saw on the internet, in the 1930's or so in Vermillion Co. Illinois they were spelling the family's name as Puskar!!! I am thinking that maybe the orthography or handwriting in Europe made the written /c/ on the end of a word look like the written /r/ on the end of a word here in the USA. So, have you ever thought that maybe the name "Puskar" might be like my grandmother's family name "Puskac" and they just made a mistake in the way they copied it when they copied the way it was written in Europe in the census of the USA? A person who spoke English with an accent might have written his name down to make it clearer and the person who read his handwriting might have thought his final letter /-c/ was the American final letter /-r/ and copied it down that way. Anyway, good luck with your research. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

At the top it says Ellington twnshp is in district 7, i think they might have messed up a bit because in the overall adams county if you click on Ellington it has the same names as district 7 in Clayton Debbie Gibson Adams County, IL http://www.genealogytrails.com/ill/adams/ St. Francois, Missouri http://genealogytrails.com/mo/stfranc/ My Angel's Pages http://www.sages-spirit-wings.com Free Stuff In Quincy http://www.fsiq.org I can see all of District 4 for Clayton township, but there is a single page 11 for District 7, which leads me to believe there are other pages not on-line. Is this one mismarked? I am looking for Isabella McFarland who should be widowed with small children. She had a child in 1881 while living in Clayton, so I hope to find her in the 1880 census.

I just checked it on Ancestry and there are two sets for Clayton and they seem to be complete. Can you not see the image of the pages?

Sally, is there any information about the Wittekiend family in the "Portrait and Biographical record of Adams County Illinois"?  There are numerous spellings of the Whittekiend/Wittekiend name. The family arrived in Baltimore about 1833 and lived in Pittsburgh, PA until Tobias and Martha (nee Yogel) Wittekiend located to Adams Co., IL around 1840,  They raised 6 of their 7 children in Burton, Adams Co., IL.  The children were Thomas b: Sept 1819, Catherine Elizabeth b: 1818-1823, John Nicholas aka Nicholas b: May 11, 1825, Anna Catherine Gertrude aka Gertrude b: April 2, 1827/1828, Martha Elizabeth b: Oct. 18, 1831, and Louis b: 1838-1839.  All of the children were born near Rauschenberg, Hessen, Germany except Louis, who was born in Pittsburgh, PA.

Mary Sutton is my gg grandmother and of course I would very much like to have a copy of this picture. It would be the only one that I know of her.
