Yes, thanks so much. Which NEU line are the CALDWELLS close to in the cemetery? According to Norm's cemetery listing- Herbert Patton FITZPATRICK and Albert KAHN are both in the cemetery as well.

I am wondering as well if this could be her-- I am trying to dig more out on her descendants and have just found her great great granddaughter-- now to see if she even knows who her great great grandma even was or where she is buried or anything at all- Margaret had 6 children, but none of them appear to have been named for any of the family you detailed-- kind of odd-- annie On Dec 21, 2010, at 8:23 PM, Beverly Morris wrote: > 2nd reply: > > Annie... > > Looking through my family website, I have a Maria Margaretha NEU, born Feb > 12, 1871, in PA, daughter of Gottlieb Neu and Salome FALK.

Hi group: Someone posted a death notice for the Pittsburgh Dispatch for May 25, 1888, for a Jane Forrester. When I check the Library of Congress page their list for that paper starts in 1889.

Margaret NEU CALDWELL lived in Brentwood-- her husband was buried in what appears to be her family's favorite cemetery- the old St Paul's Lutheran - Cemetery. Two of her sons in law are buried there as well- Her son is buried in Yuba, CA. One son in law is buried at Mt Lebanon. She and Uncle Frank married abt 1894 in Allegheny Co. Interesting to note his family was in the Birmingham area at the same time the other NEU family is there-- feel there is a connection- her parents are listed as being born in Germany in a census, but she is listed as being born in PA- as far as I can tell, she should have a great granddaughter, married and living in Bethel Park (per a 2009 obit) there is a Margaret Caldwell buried at St Paul's who died after 1947 (which is when I have last known location for her)- annie On Dec 21, 2010, at 4:21 PM, Beverly Morris wrote: > Hi Annie, > At first glance I don't see her in my tree.

2nd reply: Annie... Looking through my family website, I have a Maria Margaretha NEU, born Feb 12, 1871, in PA, daughter of Gottlieb Neu and Salome FALK. Gottlieb born in Germany, Salome in France. Might be her and I have a strong gut feeling it is.

On a quick look here is what I have found: Schalbach is a town in Lorraine, France. (Not close to the Rhine. :( There is a Schwabach and Bad Schwalbach. Schwalbach is located in the Pfalz but near the Mosel not the Rhine :( Bad Schwalbach is located about 12 miles NW of Weisbaden and about 10 miles north of the Rhine. This is within the state of Hesse. As per German telephone book, there are 52 private telephone listings for surname Neu in near Bad Schwalbach. I think this is worthwhile to looking closer. You can Google "Bad Schwalbach" and get a bit of background, pictures etc. My research is south of the Rhine in Pfalz but close enough.

That's great stuff, thanks for sharing. May I ask where was their origin? Prussia is such a liquid border.

Hi Annie, At first glance I don't see her in my tree. You can look on my website: http://osman.tribalpages.com and see if you can come up with something. Also, visit the website of Mark Dickson http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mdickson101/ . The surname NEU is under his maternal lines. Please to email me privately. Together we may be able to find the connection. I'm going to try and find her on census records and see if I can find out anything that way. If anyone else is interested, please feel free to jump in. ~Bev bevart(at)frontiernet(dot)net ----- Original Message ----- From: "annie" <1anniesquest4me@bellsouth.net> To: <paallegh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [ALL] NEU obituary; interesting story about coming to America > very interesting-- especially since I have an unknown NEU from Pittsburgh > in my family-- > > Could Margaret NEU b. abt 1871 in PA and died after 1947 be related to > this group?

Hi John, My 2nd great-grandmother, Katharine Margaretha Augenstein (nee Neu) was said to be born 25 Nov 1828 , Schalbach, Rheinpreusen, Germany. I believe this came from her death record at the Lutheran Church in the Brentwood area of Pittsburgh. Do you know what area that would be called today? I'm not up on Germany geography. Thanks for your interest and I'm glad you enjoyed hearing about this. Years ago I found on that this family arrived in New York on the Ship Rajah Nov 25, 1847. ~Christmas blessings to all, Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Steitz" <john.steitz@gmail.com> To: <paallegh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:27 AM Subject: Re: [ALL] NEU obituary; interesting story about coming to America > That's great stuff, thanks for sharing.

I found an obituary for my 2nd great-granduncle, George Jacob NEU, who arrived from Germany. He's the son of Valentine NEU who died in 1871 and is buried in Pittsburgh. I just thought this obit was very interesting about the coming to America. I hope you'll enjoy this little piece of history in the fist paragraph. (His sister, Katharine Margaretha NEU is my ancestor. She married Mattew AUGENSTEIN. They lived and died in Pittsburgh.) Washington County Register, Washington, Kansas, April, 1925: George Jacob Neu was born in Prussia, Germany, about ten miles from the Rhine River, December 24, 1839 [should be 1838]. In 1846, his parents, four brothers, and two sisters left Germany and journeyed overland in a covered wagon through Belgium and France to Havre, where they waited two weeks for a three-master to take them to America. Forty-four days were spent on the water. Arriving in New York the family had a short ride on one of the crude trains of the forties, and then proceeded by boat to Chambersburg, PA., and from there the journey was by stage, eight days to Pittsburg. There young Jacob learned the shoemaker`s trade. He enlisted in the Army in 1864 and served until July, 1865, when he was mustered out. He was the last of the G.A.R. veterans to survive in Logan Township, and at the time of his death, Tuesday morning, April 14, at about 6:30, he was 86 years, 3 months, and 20 days old. It was on this day just forty-six years ago that he moved to the home where he raised his family and spent his declining years. In 1859, on Christmas Eve, his twenty-first birthday, Grandfather Neu was united in marriage to Miss Anna Katherine Bishoff [sic] at Pittsburg, Pa. To them were born twelve children, ten of whom survive, together with their mother, to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted father. Two daughters, Anna and Katherine, passed away in infancy. With his wife and surviving children, he left Pittsburg at the time following the panic of `73 with what he managed to save out of that catastrophe, started to Kansas, arriving in Washington County in 1879, where he labored with his devoted wife to raise their ten children. He is survived by his widow, Katherine Bishoff Neu, now in her eighty-second year, who lovingly ministered to him until the very last, and by four daughters, Miss Elizabeth Neu who lives at the old home; Mrs. Margaret Smith of Roca, Nebr.; Mrs. Emma Rossman of Pittsburg, Pa.; Mrs. Bertha Munch of Kansas City, K.; also six sons, Charles, William, and Jacob, Jr. (sic), the youngest child, all of Washington County; Benjamin and Harry of Butler, Okla.; and George of Overton, Nebraska. There were thirty grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren. Until 3 years ago he had enjoyed good health, but has suffered much at times since. October of last year he was stricken with what proved to be his last illness, but until two weeks ago, he was up and about the house every day. He suffered much, but all pain left him about fifteen minutes before his passing away and he went as he had prayed many times, with a smile on his face. He prayed many times that the Lord would take him; he was ready to go. June of last year he wrote down many of the facts here given, and closed with these words, referring to his training at Pittsburg: "I was trained in the Lutheran faith, and I will stick to it till the last." So passed one of the well known and loved pioneers of this country. Among his last words were "Lift me higher." The funeral service will be held at the home at 2 P.M. Friday April 17th, followed by services at St. Paul`s Ev. Lutheran Church at 3 P.M. Interment to be in St. Paul`s Cemetery. Rev. C. Wilbur Nelson, pastor in charge of services.
