Looking for any information on Peter Adolf/Adolphe/Adolph
m. Elizabeth/Suzanne Ruch... Three of their sons, Charles
Henry, and George were in Indiana by 1843. I am a direct

Hi,

Hi,

I've been trying to track down where my Adolphs came from, but so far haven't been successful. I have George and Maria Fenstermacher Adolph living in Lebanon County in the mid-1850's, and then in Berks County after that. There don't seem to be many Adolphs around any more. Some of my other relatives did come from Alsace, though, from Tieffenbach and Rossteig. I can't find those towns in the atlas, though. They were Reidenauers and Windsteins.

Don't think I was much help, but please stay in touch. I'm still actively working on the Adolphs.

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

What data exactly do you have on your Adolphs? Do you have the ship's list, date of arrival, firts place of residence?

Do you mean the US or Alsace when you say there are not many around anymore? In the US, there are definitely a lot, some of which I am in contact with.

As to Alsace, there are quite a few families around, but during the French Revolution (1789-92), the name became Adolf then Adolff (my current spelling).

Rossteig (could be Rosteig) is in the north of Alsace, on the provincial border with Lorraine. There are several places called Tieffenbach. Both are small though, which could explain why you can't find them on the atlas.
Have you tried the Microsoft Encarta Atlas? It has some tiny places on it. If you cannot find, let me know I will try to scan a map and send.

Hi,

I don't get to check my excite mail very often, so you can e-mail me directly at my home adress - xandezmom@aol.com, if you like. I'm still researching my Adolphs. george is the first I have reference to, and he and his wife Maria Fenstermacher lived in Lebanon County (PA)when their daughter (my ancestor) was born in 1850. Since then, I have found them in the census records of Berks Co (PA). So, you can see, I have much to do to find their ancestors. I plan a trip to PA in March to check out some other sources, so hopefully, I'll be able to give you more information on them. Keep in touch.
