Re: TOTTENHOFF SURNAME

leedsly — 2009-11-18 20:22:00Z

My great-grandfather was from Danzig, Poland. He wrote (although his info wasn't always accurate) that his ancestor, surname Baman, was a soldier in a war when the North Sea froze over and Sweden attacked Prussia. He killed so many enemy they called him "Baman of the Battlefield" which became Baman von Totenhoff; our family changed the t's to d's and dropped the von.

The name Dodenhoff arrives in Danzig in the 1500's from the Netherlands. We have not confirmed the above story or the name Baman or Totenhoff, although we've always been told our name means "death house." If you would like more information, please let me know.

Dohna Family Governess circa 1914

gardiner72 — 2009-11-18 10:22:38Z

I am publishing a manuscript which has come into my possession - a memoir of the Dohna family just before the First World War written by the French governess of Burggraf Richard's children: Alexander, Ursula-Anna, Victor-Adalbert, Christof & Agnes. I would be most grateful for any info on the family and especially the governess, who wrote her memoir in London in 1939 under the name of Fernande Rosset. Can't trace her anywhere, beginning to think it's a nom de plume!

Re: RYNTZ, RINTZ, WROSH

Mad4Mod1963 — 2009-11-02 13:08:11Z

I have come a long way since originally posting this. Adam and his family were from Putzig, Germany (now Puck, Poland). His birth was recorded in the Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Putzig. I did find quite a bit of information on the Internet about Kashubian people and culture. I haven't found his wife's (Wrosh/Wrosch/Wroz) birth place or where they were married and where their children were baptized though.
Always willing to add more information- anything you would like to share about the Kashubs I would appreciate it. Email me direct at sissyrz@aol.com
Thanks

Re: RYNTZ, RINTZ, WROSH

jplay86 — 2009-11-02 00:25:22Z

Have you found more information on kushubs? I am also of Kashubian decent and live in the Detroit area. I have done research if you like I may be able to answer some questions.

They had 7 children that lived to adulthood. One was Christian Friedrick Wilhelm Buchholz b 5/10/1850. My ggf was Franz Herman Buchholz born 6 yr later. The family immigrated to US from Bremen in 1868. First lived near Madison, WI in Dane County, then moved to Monroe County WI (near Wilton, WI). I am still tracing where they lived in Dane County and their move to Monroe County. I have more if this is also your relative. Gary

blissiorio — 2009-10-28 18:13:36Z

I recently got a copy of my great great grandfather's marriage certificate from New York. His birthplace is listed as:

On the document, it also says "Hannover" but is crossed out.

Re: SPANDL FAMILY

NealLaurance58 — 2009-10-23 18:38:58Z

I am researching the Pinker family, my wife's grandmother. She had a sister named Frances Pinker (b1875) who married a Joseph Spandel (b1870) (they used the e). They had 5 children, Loretta (Erickson), Leo, Irene, Richard and Albert.
They lived in Hennepin county.

I don't know when or how they came to this country. I think the Pinkers came from Kötzting, Bavaria, and maybe originally from Bohemia.

Is any of this familiar?

Blaschke - Prussia

jaydon2 — 2009-10-21 18:42:04Z

I am looking for information on the following family.

Any information on Blaschke's of Gnadenfrey, Prussia would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Augustus Nuthmann from Prussia

Albin_vonSpreckelsen — 2009-10-18 16:17:44Z

Jrn,
sorry I do not have anymore informations on August Heinrich Georg Nuthmann. Details submitted to you have been gathered from the church books of Hittfeld. I shall look again in those books and reverting in case any additional informations will be found therein.
Just another question. In which document of which year it is stipulated that A.H.G. Nuthmann came from Prussia? The Kingdom of Hanover became part of Prussia in 1866 only.

Re: Becker, Nordhausen, Prussia

opepakak165 — 2009-10-16 23:47:26Z

Charles Becker was indeed the father of Frank Becker as you mention.I am Frank's great grandson. Are you descended from Frank? Charles was a watchmaker and when he and Mary Kessler lived in Ohio in 1837 there was a financial panic in the government and they went by wagon to Chicago where people told him not to go to Rockford, but to Dixon which was an up and coming community. They went on to Dixon thus he became the first jeweler west of Chicago in 1839. Charles died young and left Mary with several children on the farm west of Dixon. Frank had diabetes and went blind at a young age. I have a lot of stories about this family. Would love to hear from you. I am retired and live in Orlando FL. Jack

Emelia Huth and they had 12 kids of which 3 died around birth. Louis Leonard was my grandfather, Robert my dad and now me. This T thing is weird seems that John was the only one of the 6 kids Peter Joseph had that has it, some day I hope to find out why.

In fact, August Heinrich Georg Nuthmann was born 14.08.1843 in Metzendorf (parish of Hittfeld). His parents were Johann Gottlieb Nuthmann and Johanna Dorothea Gliesmann who had married 15.02.1839 in Hittfeld. Johann Gottlieb N. came from Hamburg. They had another son, namely Johann Friedrich N. born 26.06.1839 in Emmelndorf (also parish of Hittfeld).

Re: Wuschiere and/or Bervalda in Prussia

KlausWa — 2009-10-11 17:18:04Z

I assume, you are searching for village of Wuschewier, in former times also spelled Wuschewire. Wuschewier, in former prussian province of Brandenburg, is nowadays annexed to the town of Neutrebbin in nowadays german federal state of Brandenburg. If you google with: Wuschewier Krubsack and Wuschewire Krubsack, you will find two persons Krubsack, that immigrated to the US.
