Surnames: TRIBBE, SCHMIDT, VON THADEN, MEYER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZVC.2ACE/4130 Message Board Post: Looking for information on the Tribbe and Schmidt families of Uenzen, Germany. Heinrich Tribbe m. Margarethe Schmidt and had several children. The following is what I have been able to find from the Ellis Island site, the LDS site, census records, and vital records. Sophie Tribbe (my great grandmother) was born Dec. 23, 1870. She immigrated to the US (NY) in 1895 and married Henry Fischer in NYC in 1896. Sophie died in NYC in 1914. According to the Ellis Island site, Sophie travelled with a Paul Schmidt, age 39 in 1895. I do not know the relation, but am guessing he may have been related to Sophie's mother, Margarethe. Andeline Tribbe immigrated to US (NY) May 31, 1899. I do not have any other information. Adeline Tribbe immigrated to US in 1904. She travelled with her brother, Johann (John). Adeline married Henry Von Thaden in NYC in 1908 and had 2 daughters, Elsie and Irene. John married a Mabel and lived in Carmel, Putnam Co., NY with their daughter, Gladys, according to the 1920 US census. There is also a record on the LDS site for Anna Sophie Tribbe, born in Uenzen in 1880. The site indicates that she was married in NYC to Heinrich Meyer in 1903 although I was unable to find her immigration record. Any help in finding out more about these families would be appreciated.

You may want to see what the Family History Center Laibrary has in their inventory. I did not see individual Kirchenbuch registers but they do have a 1939 Census that may help.

Your post appears to be original but written as if you are replying to someone, so not sure if this will help or if I am butting into things :) Here is a link to Wikipedia that will give you some basic information on Rinteln which was the capital city for Graffschaft Schaumburg (county Schaumburg). The county historically was for a time a part of Hesse, but this past century I believe is when it became part of Hannover/Niedersachsen (1932 I think). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinteln My ancestors lived in Exten for a time and one of the daughters I believe married in Rinteln parish. I was there last year and visited the area and didn't take pics of Rinteln, but of Exten or would gladly share. Rinteln is a city along the Weser River which was key to my ancestors movements in Germany during the 1600-1856 time period. I have a picture of a poster showing the Weser river from beginning to end which I have as a jpg if you are interested (write me offline). I believe that the Immigrant Genealogical Society in Burbank, CA has some of the Rinteln parish records, but the LDS I do not believe have them, as I checked on that years ago. I was in Hannover this year doing more in depth hunting for ancestors and the church archives there has the fiche of the churches that belonged to that area, but my guess is that Rinteln records would be in another church archives. To check your family story out, best bet is to start with the town that bears the name and then go from there. You could of course plot out on a map all of the parishes in the vicinity of say 50 miles from center point of Rinteln and systematically check to see if any Rintelman family existed during this time period there and see if you can locate an exact match to your early US immigrant, but that will be a long process, and you would need to go to Germany for that for sure. Another family member I found along the way in my research that lives in the area (Völksen) took me to an old wooden tower in the hills in and around there that the Weser winds through, and although I am deathly afraid of heights, we climbed the stairs to the top, which is a good 60 feet above a very tall tree line, and I took several pics and created a panorama of the area. Not your exact town is on there, although you can see a ways, and perhaps Rinteln would be on the left of the photo, but it is simply a beautiful region and nice place to visit. I plan to go back at least once per year now that I have been, as well as to other areas where my ancestors footsteps walked centuries ago. Good luck in your research.
