Kathy Lenerz My Great Grandmother Mary Elisabeth GOUVERNEUR emigrated from Rodt (just north of Trier) in 1872, when she was 2 years old. Her mother was Katherine KRANTZ. They came to northeast Ohio, so it doesn't fit your request. However, it turns out Katherine KRANTZ's brother, Matthias KRANTZ, came from Rodt to the US sometime before 1867. I have not found the ship he came on, nor a census record in 1870. But his baptismal record from Rodt has a note written on it "1867 in America." He apparently came to the US as a 20-year old bachelor, and married Lucia BRECK in 1875 in Berry, Wisconsin. He and his children kept up communication with his sister's family in Ohio, so that when I moved to Wisconsin in 1978, I went out to have dinner with KRANTZ relatives in Pine Bluff. The KRANTZ's of Wisconsin still live in Pine Bluff. I went to a 50th wedding party for one them last summer. I currently live in Madison. Cheers, Matt Sanders MadVintner

Hi Werner and all I am sending 5 individuals plus 5 children, that immigrated from the area. Did you want only immigrants that went to Wisconsin? I do have others as well. 1)Peter and his wife Julianna Sossong, are our direct ansesters that immigrated from Damflos, in the Trier area with three small boys. Peter born 17 Oct 1826, Damflos and Julianna 6 Nov 1826 Reinsfeld Immigrated ship Howard ,Dec 1855 from Antwerp to New York Harbor, stating a destination of Chicago, but came directly to Minnesota, Eagle Creek, Scott County. Peter and Julianna's ship records are in Germans to America and also in list of Trier Immigrants 2)Johann Peter Dellwo is a second cousin, and immigrated to the Chicago area. His wife is not from our area. 1842 I do not have ship records. 3) Nikolaus Dellwo is our Peter's brother from Damflos and immigated with his wife Catharina Maria Kronenberger born in Triergarten (unknown dates) sometime in 1866 with two small children no records found except an emmigration record from Rhineland area. I do not have ship records, still looking. I know approxamate date because of land records and Ist naturalization papers and census records. They came directly to Minnesota to the Scott County area of Eagle Creek, to buy a farm next to Peter and his second wife Mary Fogarty ----- Original Message ----- From: <Werner.Lichter@kabeldeutschland.de> To: <TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 2:01 AM Subject: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] RE: Trier emigrants to Wisconsin > Dear Kathy, > > is it possible to start a Trans-Atlantic connection ? > I am trying to create a database of the most emigrants from Trier region. > But I stopped until the last year because of beeing busy, mooving from > Gilzem to Trier > with my girl friend from Trier). > > Friends in Luxemburg trying to do the same for their country. > > The region is related very close to eachother, but also connected to > Loraine > in France and East-Belgium (west of Luxemburg near Athus up to Malmedy in > the north). > > Very early emigrants 1842-1857 came from: > > a) Bitburg, Matzen, Moetsch, Fliessem, Nattenheim, Kyllburg, Wilsecker > (a circle of 15 miles north and northeast of Bitburg). > b) the area between Daun and Mayen (a lot of smal and poor villages) > (starting 40 miles east of Trier) > c) Kell (near Schillingen), Schillingen, Waldweiler (all 20 miles south > of Trier) > d) a lot of early emigrants from Luxemburg can be found in "The > Luxembourgers in the new World", > by Nicolas Gonner/Dubuque/IA). > > Werner J.

Dear listers, My Trier-area ancestors were some of those who settled in Campbell County, Kentucky near Newport. Names were: BLAU, KRAEMER/KREMER, KUHN, REINERT. I recently visited the villages they originated from (Hausbach, Loscheim, Mettlach) & have placed some pictures on my website. Also included are photos from the Fenetrange area in Lorraine where my BLAISING & SENTIF/SAINT-EVE families came from. If interested in viewing, contact me off-list & I will give you the address.

Laura- Today we are very exacting about the way we spell names, but that wasn't always so. Prior to the last 100-150 years or so, names were spelled however the person creating the record chose to spell it. When folks were illiterate, they were at the mercy of the clergyman or bureaucrat who created the record. I've found my surame spelled over 60 different ways. Don't ever ignore a name because it may be spelled slightly differently than how it's spelled now. Focus on the pronunciation-- is it pronounced about the same? > OVERVIEW DETAILS: > Matthew HENKES > Born: November 7, 1856 - Trier, Germany. > Died: January 11, 1926 - Mt.

Angel was settled largely by Germans. It's a very small place. . . The Oregon Death Index is online here: http://www.oregonhistory.com/Death_Index/Search_Results.cfm Matthew's death cert is listed there, but exact location of death can only be determined by obtaining the death certificate itself. If you want Matthew's obit, the newspapers for the area have been microfilmed and are available through interlibrary loan from the University of Oregon: http://libweb.uoregon.edu/govdocs/micro/titles.html#Marion You can ask your local library to get the film for you. I had great luck in the information I found from the obit I located there. Good luck! Kathy

The Heinrich Wagner Familienbuch for Schillingen uses the oo notation to indicate a marriage but Scholer's books don't. Also neither Wagner's book nor volume 1 of Scholer's have entries numbered as high as 9270. Neither go much beyond Nr. 2000. In any case, the wordwrapping of the email seems to have messed up some of the formatting of the entry, making it hard to follow. "Aus" should be followed by either a village name, e.g., "aus Kell" (indicating where the person or couple originated) or by the name of another Familienbuch, e.g., "aus FB Zerf" (which would tell you that further information on the family can be found there). Can you check the record again? It could provide you with the information you need to follow the family further. Without knowing what follows "aus" in the record, the fact that exact birthdates are unknown for both Josef and Anna Maria suggests that their birth records are not in the Schillingen church books, which go back to 1686. They may have been from a neighboring village (hence the importance of what follows "aus"). An alternative method for finding their whereabouts is to examine the other Goeden entries in the Familienbücher to determine where other Goedens are from. I've extracted a few Goedens from the Schillingen Familienbücher: Goeden, Barbara from Schillingen, dau of Peter & Blees Margaret Goeden, Matthias from Hentern? Goeden, Nikolaus, b. 1746, son of Mathias Goeden (above) & Maria Lehnert Goeden, Matthias from Kell m. 09.02.1850 Oestreich, Elisabeth from Schillingen Goeden, Barbara from Schillingen m. 12.02.1798 Massem, Nikolaus It would also be worthwhile to check the Familienbücher indexed on http://www.genealogienetz.de/vereine/wgff/trier/ (Click on "ABC-Listen") Good luck! Kathy

Carol, I have some WIRTZ information that a relative obtained from German church records that were translated from Latin at the Mormon Church Library in SLC by the staff there about 20 years ago. Maybe it will provide a research point for you. Petri WIRTZ married Evee HENKES (thought to be born in 1700s, and probably lived/married in Mettendorf, Germany, near Bitburg.) Their daughter, Angelae WIRTZ, married Jacobi HESER January 1, 1827. (probably in Mettendorf, Germany, near Bitburg.) To my knowledge, none of my relatives were from Schillingen, though I have other HENKES relatives from Trier. Hope this helps!

The Mormon church has microfilmed church registers from the area. Their catalog is online here: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp If you do a "Place Search" for Beuren, you will see that the church registers from 1712-1890 have been microfilmed. These can be rented and viewed at Family History Centers (FHCs). If you call a Mormon church in your area they can tell you where the nearest FHC is, and the FHC can help you obtain the film. Good luck! Kathy

I am searching for my ancestrers from Trier. I believe that one of the "Kapfs", joined the British as a hired solder to fight in the American Revolution. His Deutsch name, when he left he left for America was "Heinrick Edvard Kapfs." When he arived in the USA, he deserted and joined an already existing Deutsch community and changed his named to "Henry Edward Cops." A map on Ancestry.com, shows the name "Henry Edward Cops" existed in the USA around the year of 1790. An information would help me greatly. Danke, Berl.

To Werner Lichter and all My grandmother, Anna Margaret Seifert, came from the Trier area to Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1847. She was born in the village of Beuren (formerly Reuren) in1837. I'm looking at a map. From Trier, go south through Konz and down the Saar River to Saarburg..Take Rte.407 south to Trassen, then southwest through Meurich to Kirl, then right turn and west to Beuren. I have a list from a passenger list arriving in New York in 1847 which I believe to be her family but I'm not sure.I think her mother (my g grandmother) was Margaret Nelles. The Nelles I'm sure of (maybae not the spelling) but that's not on the passenger list, only "Marg." I'd like to verify the maiden name, maybe through church records, of my g grandmoither and of her children (my grandmother's brothers and sisters), but I don't know how to do this. My grandmother married my grandfather, Patrick Wallace in 1867. My father was born in 1871, and I was born in 1922. Werner, I applaud your creation of a data base of immigrants, Trier to Wisconsin. I've followed your name on the list for some time. You're a good friend to all of us - we owe you a lot.

BlankGreetings, My Trier ancestors originated in Konfeld (Confeld) which is south and slightly east of Trier. Wilhelm Kuhn emigrated c. 1847 and his brother, Charles, either came with him or around the same time. They both settled in Milwaukee and Wilhelm's two sons started the American Candy Co. in Milwaukee. Catholic church records for the Kuhn family in Konfeld are on film with the FHC. The records I have go back to 1698. I could give a rundown on the family but it's way too extensive. If anyone wants more information, please feel free to email me.

Someone has obviously done a lot of work tracing your ancestors. It would be beneficial to others reading about them, however, if it were presented in a format that one could easily follow. Speaking for myself, my chin fell to my chest in the middle of the third sentence. I'll wager others had a similar reaction. For everyone who wants to convey information on a mailing list: *please* make it concise and easy to read. There are some standard formats used in genealogy for presenting family trees.
