I am looking for any info on a Nicholas Karcher that came to America around 1840. He was born as far as I know March 18, 1821 to unknown parents... He married twice in America before died in 1905. I would like to find anything on Nicholas like his parents, what ship he came in on, any siblings. I can't seem to get anywhere back farther than Nicholas. As far as I know he was born in belgium. I am sorry I don't have any more info to help

Hi Carin,

Thanks for the message. Unfortunately, I don't think we are related - at least not closely. All my relatives in Heinstert are now accounted for and none are named "Steffen" ... the closest I have are STEPHANY/STEFFANY and STOFFEL.

Thank you,

Michael

carinemily1 — 2012-12-20 03:47:57Z

Hi Michael,

I just saw your rather old post, hopefully you are still around.

My 4th great grandfather, Joseph Hubert Steffens/Steffen, and his family lived in Heinstert from 1836 to 1854, when they came to the U.S. (Before that they lived at Hachy.) I've seen other families who's surname was Steffany in the homeland often changed it to Steffens or Steffen here and thought that might be the case with your family - perhaps we are related?

Thanks,
Carin Rhoden

Re: Clement from Luxembourg, now Belgium.

icairooh2 — 2012-07-01 15:18:46Z

Hello..
Thank you for your reply. The fact that 'Clement' is a widespread surname makes my search difficult, but I will continue the search.
And....thank you for the incentive.

Re: Clement from Luxembourg, now Belgium.

LynnFDR — 2012-07-01 04:12:14Z

Hi....

I wish I could say for sure that I know where your Clement come from, but I cannot. I do have Clement in my line, but the represent a present wall (not sure if it is brick or just vegetation!). And Clement would seem to be a common name.

My family originates in Meix-le-Tige just southwest of Arlon. One of the families is made up of a Bailleux father and Clement mother. I am not sure where her Clement family is from. However, one of her daughters married a Clement from Baranzy which is SSW of Meix-le-Tige and certainly in the wrong direction from Nothomb.

I may not be able to give you any help but would hope that at least I can give you some good incentive. Good luck.

Constantine DeViche and Catherine Heuertz of Remsen, Iowa

tjchatham — 2011-12-20 23:44:03Z

I'm looking for any information about Constantine Caesar Victor DeViche, born around 1825 in Belgium, husband of Catherine Heuertz born 1835 in Luxembourg, daughter of Peter Heuertz and Marie-Anne Sinner. Constantine came to the US in 1852 and Catherine came in 1855 and they were married in Galena, IL in 1855 and moved to Remsen, Iowa, where they had at least four children, one of which... Mary DeViche is my Great Grandmother. We know something of the background of Catherine Heuertz, but almost nothing about her husband Constantine DeViche, except that he was from Belgium and born in or around 1825 and came to the US in 1852 through New Orleans LA.
Also, an uncle of Catherine Heuertz, her father's brother Jean Mathias Heuertz married a Stephanie Josephine DeViche (also from Belgium), so there is more than one connection between the Heuertz and DeViche families, but I haven't been able to quite figure it all out or find much information about any DeViche family member.
I'd also like to know if any other Heuertz family member came with Catherine to the US in 1855. I don't believe her parents did, I think they both died in Holzem, Luxembourg. But she had 4 brothers, Pierre, Jean Baptiste, Nicholas and Antoine Heuertz and 2 sisters...Marie and Margaretha, some of whom may have come with her to the US. There are some Heuertz families near Dubuque Iowa that may or may not be related to Catherine.

Thank You so much for this information. How would I be able to find his birth record and parent's names or anything about his family? I would love to know if he had family in US. Would also like to know who his relatives are in Luxembourg. It appears that he came to America alone.

Rene_Daubenfeld — 2011-04-16 05:45:22Z

Moien,

As fas as I can read he came from Petrustal, which names the valley of the Petrusse River, which flows thru the city of Luxembourg. So your ancestor came from the city of Luxembourg.

I have not spent a lot of time researching this side of the family yet, but Marion's son and his wife are still living and are a great resource for me, and very willing to share information and photos.

Before 1839 this town belonged to Luxembourg

Behrens from Luxembourg

sharonolk — 2010-05-04 17:26:46Z

I'm researching a Maria Behrens from Luxembourg, birth 1/16/1833, she came to Ozaukee county WI, USA around 1850-1855. I have hit a dead end and I'm wondering if there could be another similar way of spelling Behrens other than Berens. In my research I have come across Behrens but all have been from Germany, not a one from Luxembourg. According to all the census reports it states she is from Luxembourg so I'm pretty sure thats the case. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
