Hi Pamela, by the way... Molitor is realy common. It´s the latin translation (by local priests) from Mueller (english Miller). The city of Hoven in SD was founded by the family Hoven, born in Kyllburg north of Trier. The first wife died in WI before the family moved west. Her name was Mueller... I have found several individuals from Trier region the moved to Hoven: Mueller, Erschens, Hoven The Hovens lived in Philippsweiler and emigrated in 1846/1847 (to WI), The Mueller was from the Zahnen mill close to Kyllburg, The Erschens were from Kell south of Trier. And, perhaps there is a connection to the Molitor in Trier region. Pamela, do you know the immigration year of the Molitor family ? Werner J.

Hello. I'm Brazilian and my g-g-g-g-father ( Antonio -or Antonius- Molitor) came from Germany. He was born ( or baptized) in Neuerburg (near Bitburg) in 28 FEB 1808. Father Petri (Peter) Molitor - baptized 1 FEB 1767- Piesport Mother - Anna Catharin Zwick - born around 1777. Antonio Molitor came to Brazil around 1829 to be a soldier. Last year I went to Germany 'cause I'd like to know Neuerburg. It's a very small town in the top of hill. There is a Castle. I loved so much. I also knew Prum, Trier, Koblens and Köln. I traveled by train and bus. It was a beautiful journey to the past. I found a Molitor that went to Minnesota, USA. He was son of Peter Molitor's brother, Mathias J.
