N Message: 4 Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 13:15:30 -0400 From: Donna Bickert <dbickert2@gmail.com> Subject: [A-L] immigration To: ALSACE-LORRAINE@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <AANLkTim0rvmAZ5AJtBRvzXS+bGvzMXpqo+WHW5GOCN=Z@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Is there any possible immigration information on Philip Bickert b. 1795 or his wife Elizabetg b.1797 both in Alsace, Germany? Hi Donna, You didn¹t give much to go on. Hopefully the two children, in this one possible record I came across, MIGHT be enough to prove this is - or is not - your BICKERT family. However, if not, it¹s VERY possible your duo may have come over in the blackhole of passengerlists, between birth and 1820. SW Germans, usually referred to as Palatines, left surprisingly good records coming to PA from the Palatine from the early 1700s to the American Revolution, since lists of men in their majority had to be given to the authorities in Philadelphia and then those passengers had to take an oath of allegience to the British crown for entering a British colony. Once the colonies were no longer British that ceased....until the new United States created the first Customs Bureau circa 1820, and then instituted the law that lists of all incoming passengers must be turned in upon reaching US lands. So, YOU Bickerts may have entered during that 23-25 year black hole, when lists ­ IF written ­ were not required to be handed in to anyone, and may or may not have survived the following 200 years in someone¹s attic or cellar or in the archives warehouse in the box next to the Lost Ark. If so, you¹ll be very lucky to find them. I do find these two passengers, and their two sons, very interesting, though. Their pod, LeHavre, France was a quite usual port of departure for Alsatians; and the time frame, of arrival: 1837 is very appropriate for a young family to emigrate. John is a very common baptismal name for any Germanic country, since many churches [protestant and catholic] had St. John as their patron saint. This John may have been a John Philip, known to friends and family as Philip, and legally or to the church as John. ? >From what you included in your query, it¹s impossible to tell if this is YOUR Bickert famiily or not. I leave that up to you to prove......

Hi Claudia, Reading my original posting, I realize I forgot to include the URL; and today going back to find the url once again, I've come up with a more direct one: <http://news.google.ca/newspapers?nid=djft3U1LymYC&dat=19180408&b_mode=2&hl= en> To see all issues from April 1918, click on "view all" under that month. Cari Thomas Hi Claudia, Here¹s the url for the Pgh Press by months in 1920. Use the pull-down menu at left above newspapers to ask for years or just click the arrow at the far left of month/year and go by months to 1918 and to April 1918. Then click VIEW ALL on the week in which you¹re interested. You¹ll find there are 24 pages to read in the 8 April 1918 and 32 for 9 April. >Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:34:25 -0400 >From: CJ Sperl <cjsperl@gmail.com> >Subject: Re: [ALL] Indexing Pittsburgh Press May 4, 1903 >To: paallegh@rootsweb.com Hello: >I am searching the deaths of two of my husbands uncles. The first is Charles Anthony Sperl d. 8 April,. 1918. My husbands say the family story is he fell under a moving train and his two legs were amputated. (Millvale PA) He was employed by the railroad. The second is another uncle, Joseph Edward Sperl d. 11 February , 1920. (Millvale PA) He is the brother of the above Charles. When I try to search the index all I get is the notice that the issues are unavailable. I would like to find the obits and I would like to know the procedure for reading these archived newspapers. I find it hard to believed that for two years the papers are unavailable. Claudia Sperl

Hi Claudia, Here¹s the url for the Pgh Press by months in 1920. Use the pull-down menu at left above newspapers to ask for years or just click the arrow at the far left of month/year and go by months to 1918 and to April 1918. Then click VIEW ALL on the week in which you¹re interested. You¹ll find there are 24 pages to read in the 8 April 1918 and 32 for 9 April. I searched for an article about Simon BAUER who, as I understand it, was crushed between two train cars in 1885. His church death record read: Death record at St. Peter¹s E & R German Lutheran Church: ³ Januar 1885; Auf der R. R. zwischen 2 [omeinan? ???] der stostende ? Wagen gekommen und nach 4 Stunden gestorben; Simon Bauer geboren Rosenhof bei Rauschensteig in Baiern. alt 45 Jahre, 11 Monate & 3 Tage.; Wittmer Kath....Metz und 2 Söhne.² BUT note that German origin: born Rosenhof by Rauschensteig in Bavaria! The German Language newspaper had the greater information: Der Freiheits-Freund [Pittsburgh] the issue of 30 Jan 1885, Page 4, Column 6: ³Starb: Bauer. ‹In Turtle Creek, am Mittwoch, den // 28 Januar 1885, Abends um 7 Uhr, Simon // Bauer, in seinem 46. Lebensjahr. Die Leiche // wird heute Nachmittag um 1 Uhr on der East Li= // berty Station ankommen und [findet ?] die Leichenfeier // heute Nachmittag um 1:30 Uhr in der deutschen // luth. Kirche, Ecke Collins Avenue und Station= // straße statt, wozu Freunde und Bekannte freundschaft // eingeladen sind beizuwohnen.² Translation by cjmt: ³Died: Bauer. ‹In Turtle Creek, on Wednesday the 28th of January 1885, at 7 o¹clock in the evening, Simon Bauer, in his 46th year of life. The body/corpse will arrive this afternoon around 1 o¹clock at the East Liberty [railroad] Station and the obsequies/funeral takes place about 1:30 this afternoon in the German Lutheran Church, corner of Collins Avenue and Station Street, after which friends and relatives are invited to the home/residence. BUT NOTE that the English newspaper never even mentioned his name!.... The Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph, the issue of 29 Jan 1885, Page 1, Column 6: ³Man Killed at Turtle Creek. The Coroner received a dispatch this morning that a man had been killed on the coal railroad of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, at Turtle Creek, yesterday afternoon. The case will be investigated.² So, look for the event, but not necessarily your man by name. Cari Thomas >Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 19:34:25 -0400 >From: CJ Sperl <cjsperl@gmail.com> >Subject: Re: [ALL] Indexing Pittsburgh Press May 4, 1903 >To: paallegh@rootsweb.com Hello: >I am searching the deaths of two of my husbands uncles. The first is Charles Anthony Sperl d. 8 April,. 1918. My husbands say the family story is he fell under a moving train and his two legs were amputated. (Millvale PA) He was employed by the railroad. The second is another uncle, Joseph Edward Sperl d. 11 February , 1920. (Millvale PA) He is the brother of the above Charles. When I try to search the index all I get is the notice that the issues are unavailable. I would like to find the obits and I would like to know the procedure for reading these archived newspapers. I find it hard to believed that for two years the papers are unavailable. Claudia Sperl
