Wagners from Luxembourg

Romanedold — 31 Dec 2007 4:16:39 GMT

I'm looking for the BIRTHPLACES of my Great Grandparents in Luxembourg. Nickolas Wagner was born in 1831 and his wife, Katrina, was born in 1838. A son, John B., was born in 1877 and a daughter, Mary, was born on 3/11/1879. The family emigrated to the USA in 1891 and settled in Miner County, South Dakota. Mary married Anton Dold in 1900 in South Dakota and they are my Grandparents. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Researching emigration from Bertrange, Luxembourg

Michael HAMES, born in Bertrange 27 Mar 1845, emigrated to Minnesota in 1868, he stayed in Read’s Landing and Mazeppa, both in Wabasha County. In 1871 he married Catherine FREILING (spellings vary: FROELING, FREILICH, FRIELICH) in Read’s Landing, moved to Mazeppa, both in Wabasha Co. Because of breathing problems the family moved to Archer Co. TX in 1894, where Michael died 13 Feb 1900.
After his death his wife Catherine moved to Montana in 1904 and homesteaded 80 acres near Great Falls. The children that came with her were:
Nicholas John HAMES, b. 18 Aug 1877 Mazeppa d. 18 Sep 1946 Great Falls
Susan HAMES b. 22 Jan 1881 Mazeppa d. 2 Jan 1962 Lomita, CA
Mary HAMES b. 11 May 1883 Mazeppa d. 30 Sep 1954 Portales, NM
Michael Nicholas HAMES b. 27 Sep 1885 Mazeppa d. 24 Sep 1954 Great Falls
Margaret Amelia HAMES, b. 26 Oct 1888 Mazeppa d. 23 Mar 1964 Great Falls
Isabelle Margaret HAMES b. 5 Mar 1891 Mazeppa d. 23 May 1993 Great Falls
William Bernard HAMES b. 28 Apr 1893 Mazeppa d. 19 Jul 1976 in San Francisco

I would be interested to find out were she settled down and homesteaded. Descendants mailed me the following information “She worked on the Herber and Poncelet Ranches before moving to her own in about 1907. I believe they were all located south of Great Falls, Montana somewhere around Highway 227 between Sand Coulee and Eden. Kate's homestead was located close to Eden, Montana but not for sure”

Michael had an older brother Nicholas HAMES, born in 1829 in Bertrange, who emigrated in 1853. He could be Nicholas Joseph HAMES, died 18 Nov 1913, who is buried at Calvary cemetery in Great Falls. Is there a death record / obituary? Where is that cemetery located?

I will be coming from Luxembourg to Great Falls 19-20 September for further research and in order to take some pictures for illustrating my research article. Any directions and hints would be appreciated.

Charles Thimmesch b. abt 1700 Olm marriage(s)

BobArens57 — 25 Jun 2008 12:17:43 GMT

I need help with a Charles Thimmesch. There is a Charles Thimmesch born about 1700 in Olm that appears to be married to Marguerite NN from about 1725 to 1738. There is also a Charles Thimmesch born about 1700 in Olm that appears to married to Jeanne Kauffman from about 1742 to 1753. It seems that the Schoenberg film records do not contain marriage or death records between 1738 and 1742. I suspect that these are one-and-the-same Charles Thimmesch wherein wife, Marguerite NN, died between 1738 and 1742 and he married Jeanne Kauffman between 1738 and 1742.

Andring from Bertrange

Researching emigration from Bertrange/Bartringen in Luxembourg to the United States

Luxembourg notary records from 1848 and 1850 indicate that Ann Catherine BASTING, wife of Nicolas AREND, was residing in Addison, Washington County, WI. I don’t know whether it is the small locality west of Allenton, or the township of Allison, both located in Washington County. What church (Roman Catholic), what cemetery would be closest? I am not shure, though, whether they stayed in the area.

Their marriage was celebrated 19 Jan 1842 in Waldbillig, Luxembourg.
Nicholas Arend (also Arendt) was born in Medernach 25 Nov 1813, son of Mathias Arend and Mary Ulveling and Catherine Bastin(g) was born in Bertrange 3 Mar 1815, daughter of Michael Basting and Magdalena Schmit.

.They had the following children in Waldbillig:
Mathias b.16 Jan 1843,
Michael b. 4 Oct 1844 and
John b. 27 Mar 1846.
I found their arrival at the site www.castlegarden.org on the ship “Phenomene” arriving in NY 30 Jun 1847:
Arend N, male, farmer 30 y
Arend C. female, 30 y
Arend M. male, 4 y

ANDRING in Pennsylvania

jeanensch — 6 Jun 2008 2:20:56 GMT

I am researching emigration from Bertrange (Bartringen), Luxembourg to the United States.

Nicholas ANDRING, born in Bertrange (Bartringen), Luxembourg, 9 January 1870, son of Peter Andring (born Bertrange 1830) and Anna Even (born Bertrange 1829) married 22 June 1898 in Bettembourg, Luxembourg, Mary STOLTZ , born 7 May 1878 in Huncherange (Hüncheringen), daughter of John Stoltz and Josephine Bauer).
On the July 9 1898 he and his wife left on the ship Friesland from Antwerp, arriving in NY July 23. With them was also John Andring (his brother), 25 years, and his wife Josephine, 20 years.
The passengers manifest indicates Vandergrift, Westmoreland Co., PA as their destination. Their last residence is indicated as Vandergrift for John and Bertrange for his wife Josephine; Huncherange for both Nicholas and Mary.
It looks like John and Nicholas resided already in the States before and returned to Luxembourg to get married. In fact the marriage record of Nicholas Andring and Mary Stoltz points out that the father Peter Andring was residing in Apollo, Armstrong Co., PA and that his mother Anna Even died in Bertrange in 1892. A first emigration must have occurred between 1892 and 1898.
Nicholas Andring was active in Luxembourg social life. In 1906 he was Marshall of Section 19 Vandergrift of the Luxembourg Brotherhood of America.
Finally on March 25 1902 a Joseph Andring, aged 19 years, born in Bertrange, lands in NY on ship Friesland. According to the passenger manifest he is heading to Vandergrift to join his uncle Nicholas Andring.
Any information on the future fate Peter, Nicholas, John and Joseph Andring will be most welcome.
The mayor of the Borough of Apollo is an Andring. Is he a descendant?
Thank you.

I am looking for information about PETER MOOTZ, born 4 July 1820 in Luxembourg. He Emigrated to the US about 1847 and settled at first in Washington Co., then Ozaukee Co., Wisc. and about 1888 moved to McCook Co., SD

Peter married MARY HEGER 1859 in Wisc. She was born 9/11 Feb. 1843 in Luxembourg (or Metz) the daughter of NICHOLAS HEGER who emigrated about the same time and settled in the same place.

Would like to share any information I have and hope to make a connection with information where to start looking in Luxembourg.

Hope we connect, please e-mail me directly so I don't miss your response.

it is a Feldpostkarte, of 1915 sent to a Hein Ritterbach?

Hi there...

I'm looking for people with Luxembourgish origin in the US; I had family in the Chicago area, but the oldest (and sole survivor, I'm afraid) seems to have died recently, so I wondered if there were more members of the Schu family alive. I won't be checking this website much more, so please please please email me. Thanks!

I am interested in making contact with anyone, who has an interest in sharing and/or acquiring information relating to my ancestors. My g-g-grandfather, Nicolaus Pierre MEYSENBURG, along with his children, emigrated from Sandweiler, Luxembourg, via New York City, to Cascade, Dubuque County, Iowa in the spring of 1863. His wife, Catherine THEKES, had died in Sandweiler in the previous year. The children known to have emigrated with Nicolaus were Peter Nicholas, born in 1838, Maria Susan born in 1844, Anna born about 1846, John born about 1848 and Anna Marie born about 1852. All were members of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1869, Peter Nicholas married Mary Barbara DEHNER, originally from Carrol County, Indiana and whose ancestors had emigrated from Luxembourg. His sister, Maria Susan, married Bernard SCHLENTZ, also from Sandweiler. His sister, Anna, married Michael DEMUTH, for Luxembourg. His brother, John, married Susan REISDORFF, from Luxembourg. Anna Marie died enroute to Nebraska in 1869. All of the other siblings and their spouses moved on to Bellwood, Nebraska, where they settled on farms to raise their families from 1869 and beyond.
