    1. [NYDELAWA] roll call: OTTENBERG
    2. My ancestors in Delaware county were Joseph and Henrietta OTTENBERG (or OTTENBURG). Joseph was born in Nordheim, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany in 1813 and arrived in New York in 1843. He and his family are listed as living in Davenport on the 1850 Federal census and the 1855 New York State census. In 1860 they were living in Kirkland, N.Y., and in 1870 in Rochester where he and his wife are buried. I have much information about the Ottenberg family in Germany and the U.S., but I am looking for information on Henrietta. I don't know her maiden name, nor her place of birth (just Bavaria), nor the place and date of their marriage. Their daughter Caroline (my great great grandmother) was born in 1852 while the family was living in Davenport. Would their be any records of the birth available? Joseph was a butcher and was Jewish. I don't know what brought him to Davenport, unless the community was looking for a butcher. David Shapiro Jerusalem, Israel
