Gerhard Abraham & Susanna Fast - Kaltan, Samara, Russia

junk2114 — 17 Jul 2008 2:03:50 GMT

I am looking for any information on my Great Grandparents. His name was Gerhard Abraham and he was married to Susanna Fast. Abraham may be spelled differently - Abram, Abrahame, Abrahams. I'm not sure how many children they had. I know two of their daughters names are Mary and Susie. Mary was born in February 1911. I think they came from Germany in the very early 1900's. They lived in the village of Kaltan in the province of Samara. If anyone has any information at all involving this family I would love to hear from you.

Abraham's in McKinley, Alabama Marengo, County 1800s

angelken1 — 3 Dec 2007 12:27:37 GMT

My name is Kendrick “Anderson” Abrahams originally from Uniontown, Alabama approximately 12 miles from McKinley, Alabama (Marengo County) where my family church is located (Bethel Hill Missionary Baptist erected in 1894)… I’ve recently discovered the McMillan Family Cemetery also in McKinley and found the following Abrahams buried there:

Abrahams, Annie Crocheren Mar 15, 1872--Apr 12, 1913******Abrahams, Annie Crocheren Oct 1, 1842--Sept 12, 1924*******Abrahams, Dr. James Armistead July 12, 1869--Mar 5, 1900*******Abrahams Kate Lucretia Jan 28, 1867--July 29, 187*******Abrahams, William King Dec 8, 1877--Aug 23, 1878*******Abrahams, Dr. William Thomas May 29, 1834-- Sept 17, 1898…

My family wasn’t aware of this burial sent less than ½ mile from the family church… I strongly feel they’re associated with my family in some way due to my current Abrahams roots dating back over 100 years in the Marengo County, McKinley area… Please note that I’m classified as being Black/African American, but my family history is noted in the McKinley, Alabama area as being mixed (Both Abraham and Anderson)…
I’m uncertain if my family is connected to William Thomas Abrahams or E.W. Abrahams (E.W. noted in 1860 censes McKinley area for having over 40 slaves) through blood lineage or as a given slave name, but either way the more information I find about them would help with my family migration to the McKinley, Alabama area…

My known Abraham lineage:

John L. Abrahams/My Father
B. 12 Dec. 1948 / Marengo County, McKinley

Lucious Abrahams/My Grandfather
B. 15 June 1911 / Marengo County, McKinley
D. 6 Aug. 1980 / Marengo County, McKinley

Allen Abrahams/My GGrandfather

French Canadian surnames - Abraham-Desmarais

nadeaucaroline — 2 Mar 2008 5:51:53 GMT

Hi,
I'm currently looking for information on my ancestor Marguerite Abraham, daughter of Godegrand/Godefroy Abraham (1620-1665) and Denise Fleury (1620-?). Godegrand is possibly the son of Jean Desmarais dit Abraham. The family lived in Paris. I'm particularly interested in the Abraham-Desmarais line, as well as the Fleury family. If anyone could help me out, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Caroline

Need help finding info on Abrahams

spicherrl — 10 May 2008 10:07:36 GMT

I'm researching my sister-in-laws fathers family. Her grandparents were Elio and Mary? Abraham. On a 1930 US census from New Kensington PA their names were Elio and Mary Ward. My sister-in-law says she remembers her father (Frank Ward) telling a story of how Elio changed the family name to Ward during the depression because there were too many Abrahams in the New Kensington area that were not related to him. The census listed an immigration date of 1897 from Syria. She never met her grandparents due to their deaths. Her parents have also passed and she has no information for her tree.

I'm specifically trying to locate ElliotJohnson67 who tried to email me for information on the Peter Magnus Abraham family, descended from Broder Hans Abraham (Lunden, Germany). She has tried to contact me via the anonymous connection service, but I suspect that her ISP is blocking my replies.

I can be reached directly via email: marci at odaffer dot net.

If anyone else is interested in this Abraham family, I'd be happy to hear from you. I am fairly new to researching the family, but I have been given a very thick binder of information on the Abrahams, specifically three brothers who came from Lunden and settled in Iowa, Nebraska and Oregon.

Abraham - James (Father), Alice (Daughter born 1838 approx. Ireland)

bruceandclaire1 — 12 Jan 2008 6:12:49 GMT

Hi

Alice Abraham born around 1835/8 (depending on which census you look at it) was my great great grandmother. I have her marriage certificate to Thomas Murphy(Born around 1838/9 in Ireland). She married in Liverpool but came from Ireland. Her father was James.

I am really stuck and can't find her birth/christening. Prior to becoming Alice Murphy after marriage I can't find her on any census either.

Is there anyone out there who can help?

Thanks

ABRAHAM FAMILY-1885

SherryBalla — 5 Jan 2004 7:05:10 GMT

I'm looking for information on my Great Grandmother Henriette (Hattie) Abraham's family. She was born in Posen, Germany which is now Poznan, Poland in 1881. Her father was a school teacher. I do not know his name. Hattie Abraham came to the United States in about 1903. She married Emil Spletzer in September 23, 1905. I was told Hattie had 3 sisters who also came to the United States. Tillie Abraham b. 1895 who married Gottlieb Brockman and lived in Engadine, Michigan, another sister who married and lived in Chicago, Il, and a sister who married and lived in Minnesota. I don't know the other two sisters names. Hattie and her sister Tillie lived mostly in Engadine, Michigan after coming to the United States. Hattie died in 1970 and Tillie died in 1976. I've been unable to find out the names of Hattie's parents or the names of her other two sisters. If any one has any information or thinks there may be a family connection - please respond - I would greatly appreciate it.

Descendants of THOMAS ABRAHAM and NORA SHERIDAN

HPHabron — 29 Jul 2007 6:32:11 GMT

I would be interested to hear from anyone who may be descended from Thomas and Nora. Thmas was born in 1818 in Kiltulagh Ireland and Nora born in Quinaltagh Ireland. I believe the Abraham's came from further North and settled in the Quinaltagh area of Galway. They had eight children between 1854 and 1868. George, Robert, Thomas, John, Patrick, Elizabeth, Joseph & Michael.
These given names seem to crop up at lot in the family.
Eventually some came to England and settled in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Once here the name became Habron. and no I have no idea why.

Henry Abraham>Catherine Abraham>Dromana>Dungarvan

ptrosss — 25 Sep 2005 2:11:34 GMT

Searching for any relations of Catherine Abraham (aka Kate/Kittie) b. approx 1837-1841, dau of Henry Abraham, niece of Right Rev Wm Abraham. Catherine married William Francis Healy (son of Wm Healy d.<1882) in Feb 1876 in Aglish. Catherine's address is listed on the marriage record as Dromana. William F. & Catherine are recorded as living on The Square in Dungarvan & on William St in Dungarvan. They had one surviving child, Anne Bride Josephine Abraham Healy (my GM), b. 1879, in Dungarvan.
William F. Healy emigrated to the US circa 1884, Catherine and Anne followed in 1888. According to US census, they lived on W. Broadway in Boston circa 1900-1905. Catherine Abraham Healy died in 1927 in St Mary's Home for the Aged, Hartford, CT.
Abraham family books passed down from Right Rev Wm Abraham have the signatures of Ellen Abraham and Anne Abraham in them, as well as Thomas Keane with "Dromana Cappoquin" under the signature. Catherine was first cousin to Mother Mary Patrick Keane of Dromana>Sisters of Mercy Convent @Stradbally and to a Catherine Hayes of Bridge Street in Carrick on Suir according to old letters, but I don't have the "connecting relative's" name. Old hand-drawn map of "Square" in Dungarvan shows Bishop Power as another cousin. Another documented associated names in this family line is Dunlea. Family lore for Kearney. Any information concerning this family line would be greatly appreciated.

ABRAMS/ABRAHAM; PA > Caribbean > PUERTO RICO

Ibet54_1 — 25 Jul 2007 6:24:12 GMT

Does anybody know about a Thomas Abrams/Abraham, born 1786 (From PA) who migrated to the Caribbean around 1817? His brother, John (1793) is a doctor, joined Thomas. His parents John and Anna (maybe Finlay, Anna). Th sponsors: Willian J. & Hanna Mc Dermontt - Church Saint Mary, Philadelphia-PA.

Thomas was married to Rebecca (Baber or Bates) Olden,and had a child with her named George (1821 PA), Ann Elizabeth (1823 PA) , Thomas (1817 PA), Lemuel (1813 PA). These persons raised a family in the Caribbean, special in Puerto Rico.

I'm doing lookups for Abraham immigrants

Sabrina — 9 Jun 2004 10:44:32 GMT

This surname is found in the rare book "Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants". I'm doing lookups for people researching this name who suspect their ancestors may have immigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1700s from Swiss, German, Dutch or French origins. This book is very time-saving and informative and may give you the date your ancestor(s) traveled, where they came from, and who traveled on the same ship with them. Please email your requests to Sabrina@familytreeleaves.com.

Abraham, Abrams of Wales -- DNA

abramsml — 4 May 2006 7:36:54 GMT

Hello

I would like to encourage anyone with the Abraham or Abrams or similar surname to join the Abrams DNA project. We would very much like to have Welsh members to compare with.

My line is probably from Henry Abraham who emigrated to VA and PA in the mid 1700s.

http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=E90059&am...

If that link doesnt work, contact me.

If you have done testing with a different company, I would still like to share our marker data and see if there is a match.

Any other info on Henry, b1720, in Wales would be appreciated.

Thank you

Morgan Abraham, married to Sara or Sarah Unknown

Laura — 21 Mar 2006 11:23:00 GMT

I've been searching online and no one seems to know exactly who this 'Sara' was. Morgan was born in 1660 in Wales and apparently died before he could come to the US to claim his land, so Sara (or Sarah) claimed it for him.

Does anyone have her last name? I am also looking for dates and marriages for their children, of which I have seven listed. I have some of the dates but am trying to fill in the blanks.

This family line later became Abrams, if that's any help to you.

My Grandmother was Eda Ida Abraham she died at a very young age and left the 4 children including my mother Mildred Ness to be raised by their father Gidvert Ness near Pipestone MN. Gidvert remarried to Winnifred Kwalek. For some reason very little contact was made with the children after Eda's death. The father Peter and Mary were supposedly divorced and my mother does not know what ever happened to her grandmother. I can not find a death record for her. Peter Died 02 Feb 1931 Pipestone MN. At the time of his death he was living with his son Henry. Mary Kruse Abraham is believed to have died before 1920 since Peter lists his marital status as wd on the 1920 cencus. My mother is going to be 92 on her birthday and I would like to find some information on this family to hopefull give her some closure to events that have bothered her for many years. Any more information I can give you that will be helpful will be given upon request. Cecilia

Louise and Robert ABRAHAM

LisaSumner44 — 29 Nov 2005 6:02:59 GMT

I found the names of Louise ABRAHAM and Robert ABRAHAM on a list of names circulated by Oregon State Hospital patient memorial workgroup.

From the late 1800s to the 1970s the bodies of patients that were not claimd by family after their deaths at the mental hospital were burned and put into copper canisters/urns and then labeled and put on a shelf in an abandoned part of the hospital. The Oregon State Hospital, a mental facility, has been in Salem for about 123 years. If anyone thinks that their relative may be on the list of people that have gone unclaimed, please contact me at LiMaSum@aol.com and I'll look on the list. Or the list may still be available in pdf format online. You'll have to have adobe acrobat to read it.

This is the available info on the above mentioned:
ABRAHAM, Louise _ vol.2G _ 12-13-1922 _ age 50
ABRAHAM, Robert _ vol.2G _ 2-13-1921 _ age 60

So evidently they were living at the mental hospital in Salem, Oregon in 1921-1922.

Abraham(s) Origin of Name

Tom_Kingery — 22 Oct 2005 10:30:36 GMT

I am descended from Sarah Abraham(s) and Frances Parrott of Calvert Co., MD. She had a brother named Isaac which leads me to believe they were of Hebrew descent. Is Abraham exclusively a Jewish name? Records show the name sometimes as Abrahams.

Sarah Abraham married in Devon

Would be grateful for any information about this family.

Abraham/Abrams from Baden

rstoneham77 — 17 Apr 2005 9:03:45 GMT

Hi,

Here is what I know about my Abrams connections so far. Israel and Rachel (Raschel?) Abraham came to the US in the mid 1800s. Their places of birth are sometimes listed as Baden, sometimes just Germany. Israel was born in June 1837, Rachel in April 1844. I do not know what year they were married or whether this took place before or after coming to the US. They had four children: Rebekah (b. 1870), Samuel (b. Aug 1871), Henry or Harry (b.1875) and Benjamin (b. June 1877). The children were either born in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, depending on what records you look at. It appears that Rachel and Israel spent some time in Pennsylvania before settling in Newark, New Jersey by 1880. The family was Jewish. My connection is through Harry--he was my great grandfather. He was listed as Harry Abraham in the 1920 census, but Henry Abrams in the 1930 census. I don't know why/how the name was changed. If anyone has any more information about this family or any antecedents in Germany/Baden I would love to hear about it.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Looking for information on Abram(s) and Abraham(s).

My Abram ancestors come from the South of England and I would be very keen to hear from anyone else with ancestors from this part of the country. Mostly the Abram family seem to come from up North, Southport and Wigan which strangely is the area my family live in now.

My father was born in Northamptonshire and his father Louis Bowers Abram was born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (1916). Joseph Charles Abram was my great grandfather and he was born in Northampton and Charles Abram my great great grandfather was born in Rothwell, Northamptonshire. My great great grandfather was Joseph Abram but I have no details abour him at present.

Donnel — 2 Apr 2004 11:07:11 GMT

Am seeking information on Henry Abraham (Apr1819- Nov1906), his father William (Jul1792-Aug1859) and his father (possibly Nicholas Abraham). William's sons William and Henry were said to have come from Armagh, IRE but their earlier ancestral origins are documented as Laois (Queen's county), Leinster, IRE.

Other children of William (not in birth order) are: William (b.1814), Elijah (b.1830), John, Sarah (b.1834), Elizabeth, Felix (b.1831), Elleana (b.1828), Thomas (b.1821) and Mary Ellen. William Sr. children born after 1927 were known to have been born in Ontario, Canada

ABRAHAM Family of NYC

frank1184 — 7 Feb 2005 3:05:45 GMT

Hello,

Seeking info on the Descendants of Isaac Abraham born apprx. 1810, Ireland. Emigrated to NYC about 1835. Isaac married Catharine (?) about 1840. 4 daughters, Mary born about 1844, Catherine born about 1846, Grace E. "Lizzie" born about 1850 and Margaret who was born about 1853.

The family lived in the lower east side of Manhattan. I have lost track of the daughters after 1880. They may have married.

Isaac died prior to 1870 & Catharine prior to 1880.

I have seen the name spelled Abraham, Abrahams, Abrams & Abram on official documents. My ancestor is Catharine (1846).

Does anyone know anything about Mary, Grace or Margaret Abraham ???

Thanks

Joseph Abraham b. 1855

birdy56 — 31 Jul 2006 5:24:12 GMT

Joseph Abraham born May 15, 1855 in Ireland listed as widower in Census of 1881 had one son in Ireland named Michael Joseph Abraham 1882; they immigrated to Canada in 1887. In January 27 1890 Joseph had another son Arthur Abraham, they are found living in Perth (North) #104 Stratford
I am looking for the wife's name of Joseph born on May 15, 1855 to complete my heritage line from Ireland. If this fits in with yours please contact me a.s.a.p.
This could be a completely different line but my Dad says these are the names he had I just looked up the Ontario Census for 1881 and found the Abraham line in this family.
Maybe it is part of yours.

Daniel ABRAHAM, Brunswick soldier of the Regiment von
Barner, age 36 years, 11 months (as of middle of 1779),
born Schorborn, now 37627 Deensen, 12 km east of
Holzminden, State of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony),
stationed in Quebec, Canada during the American Revolution

coming with the disbanded men from the German troops
who settled in Township No. 5, Bay of Quinte, on Oct 4,

landing at the Bay of Quinte, Upper Canada.

This is to make known that on Saturday, 21. August 2004,
in commemoration of the 220th anniversary of the arrival
of these first settlers, a "Hessian Day" is being celebrated
with big tent, music, food, entertainment, and many
descendants of these hardy settlers will be attenting to
meet new and old 'cousins'. More information about this
event may be received from the Rose House Museum
e-mail rosemuseum@pecounty.on.ca or try to search
with http://www.google.com typing in Rose House Museum
There will be a map and location.

If you are a descendant of any of those settlers, you are
invited to come. If you know others, please them know.

I'll be there as well, presenting a bronze 'Hessian Soldier
plaque to the Museum.

ABRAHAM DNA testing

MartinAbrams27 — 25 Apr 2005 4:09:27 GMT

Hello

There is considerable data on the Internet that suggests that my line of Abrams descend from the Abraham families of Crowan, Cornwall. I would like to contact anyone with information, and particularly any known descendents of these families. My immigrant ancestor was purportedly Henry Abraham, who was born in Wales in 1720 but was baptized in Crowan in 1723. His father and grandfather were also named Henry and they came from Crowan as did the great grandfather Jeffrey Abraham, b1640. At least that's what it says in several databases. My Henry came to the colonies and eventually settled in Turkeyfoot, PA, fought in the Revolution, and lived to be 108 years old. By 1900 most descendents spelled the name as Abrams or Abram.

There is also a new Abrams DNA project that has just started. Please watch the project as it grows and consider joining.

CARL DAVID ABRAHAM (1805-1888), married Caroline Ebert

schmuldty — 24 Feb 2005 1:26:45 GMT

I am looking for any descendants of Carl David Abraham, born in Putzig, Westprussen, Germany on 15 Mar 1805, who married Caroline Renata Ebert, born in Saulins Kries Lanenburn, Germany on 19 Jun 1804. Carl was the son of Jacob and Catharine Stoepsel Abraham, and Caroline was the daughter of Johann and Anna Rutz Ebert.

Carl and Caroline had six children: Fredericka "Rica," Caroline, Ferdinand, Carl, Charlotte (or Emma), Julia, and Albert. The immigrated to the US in the late 1860's. The older children who were already married immigrated with their own family. The family lived in Chicago, and the descendants spread out throughout the Midwest.

Fredericka married Franz Maina. Caroline married Christian Schmuldt. Ferdinand married Hermine. Carl supposedly was married a few times (not sure), Charlotte married Carl Martin, Julia married John Bach, and Albert married Louise Messenbrink.

If you have any information about their descendants, or if you are one, please contact me. I have a wealth of information I would be willing to share with you.

Thanks,

I am looking for information on ERNESTINA ABRAHAM or her family. What I know is this:
Ernestina was bron in the year 1847 and died in the year 1922. She was married to Ludwig Steinberg (1837-1891). With Ludwig she had several children:Emilie, Ernestina (named after her mother), Julia (1874-1962, never married), Augusta (1868-1950, never married), Alvina (never married), Henry, Louis (1882-1950, never married),Robert, and WILHIMINE "Minnie". Wilhimine was born in Germany.

Wilhimine married my great-great grandfather, Henry Ahrens. They had several children: Albert, Walter, Louis, Elsie, Edward, Lourena, Arnold, Frieda, Robert and PAUL Ahrens (Sr.). Paul married Emilie Gruetzmacher.

I have more information down the line, but I do not think that I will list them here. I think that since Wilhimine was born in Germany it is same to say that ERNESTINA was alos bron in Germany or Prussia. If anyone has any infromation you can reach me at amberdreamer@msn.com Thank You
