Greetings Janet,

I would be interested in a coop search. I also now have a German friend at work, who's elderly father knows and assisted me with some "old script" documents that I had. Let me know if you are still interested...as I am still very interested!

All Best wishes,

Stephen Alt

Francis Jane Day

millard82 — 2009-05-17 17:50:55Z

My ancestor is Francis Jane Day, born 04 October 1836 in Person County, North Carolina, and died 14 January 1860. She is buried at the “Deep Creek" John Bumpass Sr. Cemetery, located at Old Allensville Road at Ruff Davis Road. Her stone is located near the back of the periwinkle area. This is exact wording on her stone is, “Frances / wife of / Francis M BUMPASS / Born Oct 4, 1836 / Died Jan 14, 1860 / Age 23 years 3 months”. In 1850 she is found in Caswell County living with Zack and Martha Dameron and their one year old child, Mary Elizabeth. She married Francis M. Bumpass on 15 November 1855, noted on the marriage entry was a John B. Day listed as a Bondsman (unknown relationship to Francis Jane Day or to Francis M. Bumpass). Francis M. Bumpass was born in 1830 in Person County and died in 1862 also in Person County (exact dates of death and burial unknown). From this union they had one child, John Francis Bumpass, born 1857 in Person County and died on 04 September 1914 in Durham County. The 1860 Census has Francis M. Bumpass and his son John living with his mother Nancy Roundtree (Day) Bumpass in Allensville, Person County. I am searching for Francis Jane Day’s parents and her relationship to her husband’s mother Nancy “Roundtree” Day. Was Nancy Native American? Any help will do. Thank you in advance. Will Millard

Elisabeth Alt B. 18 Feb. 1874

rhosta — 2009-02-03 23:19:44Z

I am trying to find any information that will help me find Elisabeth parents. I believe her siblings were Margit B. abt.1887, Josef B. abt. 1877, Teresz B. abt.1884. They were all born in Mercydorf, (Mercifalva) Hungary. Elisabeth married Josef Friedl B. 7 Feb. 1869, Mercydorf, Hungary. They eventually immigrated to College Point, NY, U.S. Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Ada Dorothy Alt

rconard190 — 2009-01-02 15:39:48Z

Edgar Miller Alt was born in Wisconsin in 1851, probably moved to Illinois and died in Oregon. I don't know if he had any sons. One of his daughters married a White who was connected to my Stiles family. We have a picture of her children.

I don't have any information on his family, but can go to the Federal Records building which has census records to look at his relatives.

Do you need information on Harley? There are several Harley Alts. Do you have a birthdate, location, or some way to distinguish which is your grandfather? Perhaps I can trace him back to see if the lines join.

Helpful census records are available for 1930 back to 1850, but many of the records are unreadable or misspelled. I'll send you what I find if you are interested.

Re: Ada Dorothy Alt

Re: Alt/Traurig

jlauber153 — 2008-11-11 18:42:19Z

I am also researching Traurigs from Bavaria.
My Great Great Grandfather, Jacob Traurig was born in Bavaria around 1820.

I have a guess that he is from the Cham region, near the border with the Czech Republic. This is based on current distribution of the name, and other records of possible relatives. I have done some resarch on sources from the villiage of Furth im Wald. I have not found anything yet.

Let me know if you find anything.
I will do the same.
Thanks

Immigration Papers

Sp0cksgal — 2007-12-31 07:03:16Z

Has anyone ever attempted to see if immigration papers still exist for Valentin Alt? He came over on the ship "Davy" and took his oath of allegience in Philadelphia in Oct 1738. I had once inquired w/the York County PA about this but was given no leads. It would be wonderful if we could get ahold of a copy of this, providing something still exists.

Re: Charles (Carl or Karoly) Alt & Joseph (Josef) Alt

2006-06-21 19:40:30Z

Do you know if either of them brought with them an Emma Elizabeth Alt, born in 1879? She is my great-grandmother, I've been told she was from the same general area of Europe, Alt may have been her step-father's name, her biological father's last name was Vonsiksai (spelling?). She also lived in Johnstown, married John C. St. Clair in 1906, had 6 children, 3 died very young, she and John and the 3 young ones are also buried in St. Mary's. I don't have any information on them, but I'll pass on any info on them I get in my search for info on Emma Elizabeth.

I am searching for information a Robert Langdon, father of Robert , b 1938. Robert was adopted by Robert A Alt and his wife Edith. Robert and Edith Alt are in the Franklin Co, OH 1930 census with no children as of then.

There are two 22 yr old female boarders in that 1930 household: Helen Smith and Ruth Ann Lindsay.

I am trying to find this Robert Langdon and the female he fathered the adopted Robert with.

If anyone has any information about this adoption, will you please respond?
Thanks,

Re: Cleo Alt

2005-04-05 01:27:42Z

I called an Alt who lived in the area. He only knew of the elder Cleo and not the one I had tracked down thru a search.
That's the only name I have. It could possibly be a "borrowed" name of another relative . I just don't know. She is my birthmother and I am trying to find her. Her name was found on my records and paid for.

Re: Cleo Alt

2005-04-04 05:10:13Z

All of the Alts in Petersburg and Grant Co. WV are related. So if your Cleo lived there, she must tie in somewhere. How is she related to you? You haven't mentioned any other surnames.

Re: Cleo Alt

2005-04-04 04:43:38Z

My husband's work partner did a search and found that same
woman but I can't get a reply from her and there's no phone.
Can't be sure she's the right one. I thought it was very odd that she lived in the same town as another Cleo Alt who died in Petersburg WV in 2003 (I think) but was born in 1911. Thanks for the info.

Re: Cleo Alt

2005-04-03 02:13:29Z

Do you know about Intelius? There is listed a Cleo A. Alt age about 65, living in WV. You have to pay to get the info however.

Re: Alt-Kimble Genealogy

2005-04-03 01:08:25Z

Thank you for your reply.
I would have thought Cleo Alt would have been unusual but there are several Cleo Alts in the census, married and maiden name.
The one I'm looking for would be about 64 or 65 now.
Alt is the maiden name.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Alt-Kimble Genealogy

2005-04-02 18:18:11Z

I have been looking for a Cleo Alt. I found an obit in the Grant Press WV of a Cleo who was born earlier than the Cleo I want.
The odd thing is the Cleo I found was also living in Petersburg WV as the elder Cleo Alt but wasn't a descendant of hers. I have written to her but have received no reply.
Do you know of any other Cleo Alt in your family that was born about 1940?

Vera ALT or ALLT

marys1015 — 2005-06-20 18:08:06Z

Found in Cuyahoga County, Ohio probate records the marriage of Vera ALT or ALLT (both on record) to Andrew KOVACS. I have very little information on Vera. She was listed as Veronica in the obiturary for Andrew. She proceeded him in death, sometime in the 1940s. He was born 1898 in Hungary and died 1971 in Clevleand.

Does anyone have a Vera or Veronica ALT in their family? The ethnicity of my family (so far) is Hungarian. Any help is appreciated. Thanks :-)

Mary

Re: Vera ALT or ALLT

marys1015 — 2005-06-20 18:08:06Z

Dear Priscilla:

Thank you for the reply and the information. I will look at the census. It may give me information I need to continue my research and possibly find them on Ellis Island. Thank you for your kindness and the lead.

Mary

Re: Vera ALT or ALLT

marys1015 — 2005-06-20 18:08:06Z

Dear Priscilla,

I finally found her! Verona ALT arrived Ellis Island Jan. 20, 1922. She came from Roumania, spoke Hungarian, and went to her sponsor, brother in law, John Merk, 9805 Cumberland Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Her marriage to Andry Kovacs, Aug. 13, 1924 shows her mother's surname as Donant. Found them on the 1930 census under name Kovach in Cleveland.
Thanks for all your help.

Regards, Mary

Peter Alt b. circa 1785

altjim — 2005-08-22 20:02:00Z

Peter Alt would have been born around 1785 in one of the German states. He married Elizabeth Hofmeister, and they had at least one son.

This son, John (or Johan) was born July 3, 1816 in “Brusenborn Community, State – Hessen, Darmstadt." He came to America in 1842, and ultimately located in Carroll County, Missouri.

Please let me know if you have information about this Peter Alt's forebearers. --Jim Alt
