Hello, I just purchased an old postcard that I believe is in Dutchess County. I think it is either Rhinebeck or near Pleasant Valley NY. The card is titled, "Ackert Boarding House" and dates from around 1910. - David

John,
The Ackert's are at the Wurtemburg Cemetery. They were dutch and are in the cemetery behind the church. I will get you the name of the church. I will send out the information asap. My husbands mother just passed away last night. I will probably be able to send the info. this weekend. Thank you about the pictures. There is also suppose to be a homestead that is still there from the 1700"s. I t is where my GGgrandfather lived. This info. will definitely help you when you go to Rhinebeck.
Take care,
Linda

Dear Linda,

Sorry to hear that you are undergoing chemo treatments.
I hope that you benefit and that better health is ahead.

I'd love to have a copy of the info you mention.
If I drive up to Rhinebeck and find the gravesites at St. Paul's Lutheran, I will post or send you pictures as well.

Many thanks,
John

John, If you get to Rhinebeck that would be great. I live in Florida and right now I am going through chemo. If you get any pictures of the grave I would love a copy of them. Awhile ago I received a packet from a distant cousin in Colorado and I would be happy to send that to you. Let me know what you think of this idea. Take care

Dear Grace,

Judging from our connection back to Stephen H. Ackert, I was wondering if you have any info on the death of Jane Edmunds?

I think I have Stephen remarried and living in the right area on Horatio Street in Manhattan at the time of the 1900 census. His wife is now Mary (born in Ireland) who is 15 years his younger. They have a young family, even though Stephen is born abt. 1835 according to the census taker.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
John White

Dear Linda,

Thanks for your reply! It has been great using Ancestry.com to learn more about the different branches of my family tree.

Here is my line of descent from Conrad(t):

Conrad Eckert (1745-1835)
+Rebecca Tippel (or Dippel)
Zacharias Ackert
+ Margaret Fraleigh
Samuel Ackert
+Sarah Ann Sleight
Stephen H. Ackert born about 1833
+Jane born about 1841
Sarah Jane Ackert born 4-20-1859 (sister to Charles J. Ackert)
+John White born 1856
John White born 1879
+Josephine Murowski
John S. White, Sr. born 1938
+living mother
John S. White, Jr. (that's me)

It would seem that Conrad Eckert, Sr. is my 5th great-grandfather. His great-grandson son, Stephen wound up in New York City by the time his daughter Sarah was born.

My grandmother was her daughter-in-law and mentioned to me that there was variation in the family name between Ackert/Eckert. Since Sarah died 60 years before the time we discussed the genealogy, my grandmother didn't really recall much about the details.

I am not far from Rhinebeck, and I think it would be quite interesting to visit the area cemeteries where these relations would have been buried.

Many thanks again for your input.

John White

Hi!!
My GGGrandfather was Conrad Eckert. My great grandmother was in the DAR and her pin was handed down to me. On the pin his name is spelled Conrat Eckert. I have no idea who Stephen Echardt is. Are you sure it is the right line of ancestry? Sometime they have the same name but are not part of the line.
I have alot of information on them. I also have a picture of Conrad Eckert and his wife Catherine Filkins Eckert. I would be happy to help you if you can give me some names and maybe I can help you.Linda Stewart

Dear Linda and Stan,

Stephen Ackert was my 2nd great-grandfather. The message board here has helped me to go back much further. Learning about Conrad Eckhardt has been fascinating.

I'd like to add a picture to his profile. Can either of you help? You seem to be very knowledgeable of the Ackert line.

Thanks,
John

Re: Ackert/Eckhardt from Rhinebeck

Drjwhite — 2011-03-15 00:48:50Z

Linda, I would love to see your picture of Conrad and Rebecca. Several months ago I was able to make my connection backwards from my great-grandmother, Sarah Jane Ackert through her father Stephen to Conrad. The folks on this message board were a great help with their posts!

Re: Ackert/Eckhardt from Rhinebeck

Drjwhite — 2010-11-22 03:29:40Z

Dear Grace and others,

Tonight I was able to confirm that Jane Edmunds is the name of the mother of Sarah Jane Ackert, my great-grandmother. That nails down the connection with your relatives.

It is so gratifying to add another 5 generations after a breakthrough like this. My thanks to all on this board who have contributed information.

Grace,

If you would like a copy of the disc I made in Salt lake, just send your name and address to gft222@gmail.com

I took a quick check and most of the names are on this disc.

I copied it because there was sooooooo many notes. I was able to put together my line from it.

Quick question, when was your Zacharias born? We may be ccousins. Mrs Dale Hall, Hemet CA

Re: Ackert/Eckhardt from Rhinebeck

Drjwhite — 2010-11-18 03:11:35Z

Dear Grace,

I read your initial board on the Ackert (from Rhinebeck) board. I see similarities between your tree and mine.
Thought I'd share these details with you in case you wish to fill in your great-grandfather's sister's line a little.

Stephen H. Ackert born about 1833
+Jane born about 1841
Sarah Jane Ackert born 4-20-1859 (sister to Charles J. Ackert)
+John White born 1856
John White born 1879
+Josephine Murowski
John S. White, Sr. born 1938
+living mother

George Henry Ackert - Orange County New York

josan00 — 2010-10-31 13:36:43Z

My 3rd Great Grandfather was George "Henry" Ackert from Blooming Grove \ Hamptonburg \ Washingtonville \ Salisbury Mills, New York. Not far from Dutchess County but I have not been able to make the link to other Ackerts. I have a copy of the family bible handwritten records but it starts with his birth in 1810. I have all the children since then and most of the descendants. Of about 8 children only one male survived to continue the line (William Henry Ackert b: 1842). I have pictures of William Henry (my 2nd Great) and his wife Charlotte Ann Horton (b:1848 d:1890) up until his death in Newburgh, NY in 1918.

G. Henry Ackert died in 1883 but I've never been able to get beyond 1810 or tie it to other Ackert families. So any help would be appreciated. I will be posting the entire tree publicly soon but would like to clean up a few things first.

I saw prior posts regarding the publication "The Palatine Families of New York, 1710" and the family name Eckhardt. I will also go in that direction to see what I come up with.

Thanks much,

Ackert Family

stephencyoung — 2010-01-27 19:17:14Z

I've been frustrated for many years in trying to more about the ancestry of my third great grandmother, Jane Ackert, born 9 Dec 1822 in Pennsylvania or New York. She married Allen Corner 17 Aug 1841, perhaps at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and then after having seven children, died on 29 Nov 1858 at Caledonia, Ontario. I know nothing else about her except that she might have had a brother, James, also settling in Ontario. You can contact me directly at youngsc@familysearch.org.
Thank you,
Stephen Young

Re: Frederick Ackert/ Dale Hall

How kind of you. We would love to have a copy of the disc. Maybe we can put together more than the little we have on the Ackert family. Elaine Luman, Texas

Re: Peter Ackert

ElaineLuman — 2010-01-26 00:30:48Z

No, I'm sorry I don't have any info on "Peter Ackert." I have a Herman Ackert born in 1779, but I have no records further than that and no record of siblings. Sorry.

Re: Frederick Ackert/ Dale Hall

hhaall — 2010-01-21 20:29:37Z

Thank you for that information. Conrads Brother Frederick married Rebecca Ackert (a cousin?) who was my 2nd great grandmother. By the way, while in Salt Lake a couple of years ago, I put on disc a microfilm of the ACKERT/ACKKERT/ECKERT/ECKKERT line. If you would like a copy, I would be glad to send one off to you. LOTS OF GREAT INFORMATION!
Just let me know. Mrs Dale Hall, Hemet CA

Re: Jane Ackert

stephencyoung — 2010-01-19 16:35:03Z

Hi, Pat,
Sorry. I haven't done much beyond determining there were a whole lot of Ackerts living in the Esquesing Twp, Halton County area. A Peter Ackert from Pennsylvania, b. ca. 1793, and his wife, Catherine Traver, b. 28 Jan 1799 in Dutchess County, NY, settled in Halton County. They had 8 children and many grandchildren I've traced in the civil registration indexes. I was hoping to link James and Jane into that family, but no luck. I'm thinking they are related, but back in the States. I also found a bunch of Ackert gravestones in the graveyard in Lucknow, Ontario, where my grandmother is buried. I took photos of them. Hope you are well too,
Stephen

Re: Jane Ackert

PatriciaOBrien35 — 2010-01-19 01:21:42Z

Hi Steve:

I have gotten nowhere over the last 10 years on James Ackert, and was just wondering if you had found any more on Jane and a possible connection between them.

Take care.....Pat

Re: Ackert/Eckhardt from Rhinebeck

sackert3 — 2009-08-18 19:19:00Z

Ida:
Since you are dealing with Eckerts in Pa., I suspect they may be descendants of a Conrad Eckert who is recorded arriving in Philadelphia in the 1730s. That is not the same family as the Ackert/Eckhardt family of Rhinebeck. Conrad Eckert/Ackert was born in Rhinebeck in 1745, the son of Johan Peter Eckhardt, who was the son of Adam Eckhardt who arrived in New York in 1710 and settled first in Germantown, NY, and later in Rhinebeck.

Hello Stan
Hope your trip to Europe was great.
I am looking for information on the conrad eckerts, sr and jr., wives and children.
I am helping a 4th cousin Barbara look for her Eckert family.
She has a David Eckert b.1805 PA m. Elizabeth Christman b.1806 PA...but no parents. We would like to link him to his parents and ancestors but no luck yet.
Maybe you can help.
thanks a million,

Hello Linda.
I am helping a 4th cousin locate her Eckert family.
Conrad sr's wife is she Rebecca Tippel. I would love to
see any information you have on these Eckerts and their children.
Do you have a tree online for us to see. I am sure we
have many branches that have the wrong children on them.
thanks in advance.

WILLIAMCAVANAGH67 — 2006-06-04 01:57:32Z

Hello, my name is William Cavanagh and Im hoping that you may be able to help
me. I was born September 26, 1967, and my original name was William Burt Ackert.
I was adopted by a wonderful couple and have had a very fulfilling life. I am trying
to locate my birth parents, and I have some information that may be helpful.
10-6-67 Placed in foster home till 2-21-68
According to the New York State Department of Health, the adoption was handled by
the Niagara County and Nassau County Departments of Social Services. At the time,
my birth mother was 21 years old, 53, with brown eyes and brown hair. She was working as a secretary. My birth father was 23 years old, 59, also with brown hair
and brown eyes. He was reported to be of Irish English descent, and employed as a mechanic. My birth parents had been dating for over year and felt that they were unable to care for a baby. It has also been reported that I was born in the town of Glen Cove,
on Long Island. Unfortunately, I cannot be sure that any of this information is accurate.
I am 61, with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 220lbs.

In writing this letter, it is my hope that I may find out something about them, or my family history. It is not my intention to intrude or cause problems for either of them. Their decision to put me up for adoption afforded me a wonderful life with two loving parents. I simply wish to know more about where I came from. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I am also registered with the state. Please
contact me with any information at. E-mail address is ACKERT123 @ AOL.com.

Sincerely,

William Cavanagh

I found a list of Ackert's in my grandmothers bible.
One of them is Stephen Ackert. In checking, I found on Ancestry,"Stephen Ackert, under Local History" a fantastic story about Stephen.
If this is your Stephen ACKERT, I have the list of his brothers and sisters (8). The funny thing though, I have no way of knowing HOW the ACKERET'S are connected to my "UNVERZAGT, KOLLANSEE line.
What information do you have on Steven?

Linda: My great-great-grandfather was Tobias Ackert, brother of Nelson (who founded the firm of Ackert & Quick in Yonkers with his cousin Francis Nelson Quick). Their father, Conrad, Jr. married Catherine Filkins, and both are buried in the Wurtemburg Cemetery across from St. Paul's. I have the family bible which belonged to Conrad Jr.'s brother, Levi Ackert. I, too, would be very interested in obtaining a copy of the photograph of Conrad, Sr. and Rebecca (I am assuming it's Conrad, Sr., who died in 1835, which would make it a very early photo; it could be Conrad Jr. with his mother).
