HI,
Did you get the info you needed? Friedrick Wilhelm ARP was my grandfather and his oldest daughter Maria Arp was marrid to Bernhart HARDER. Grandfather married Faleolo (Aleki) Leota. Does that help? Are you a relative of the Arps or the Harders? I'd love to hear from you "teinesamo2@juno.com"

I found it very funny to see my name on this web page. But name is also Becky Arp, my grandfathers name was Virgil Arp from Loving, Ga. near Blue Ridge, Ga. And as far as I know that yes there is some Cherokee Indian in the Arp family genes.

Re: Bingo: found Augusta ARP's ancestors

klarp — 2008-11-25 22:57:41Z

Unfortunately, the above Arp family (Claus & Greta Arp & children, including daughter Augusta) emmigrated from Germany (Schweig-Holstein) in the 1880s, more than 20 years AFTER your James Reuben Arp in Armstrong Co, PA. Per the 1880 Census, the parents of James Arp were born in PA, as was James himself (he was born about 1818 in PA). Do you know where your Arps originated? Were they from Schweig-Holstein?

Re: Bingo: found Augusta ARP's ancestors

Boyce7 — 2008-10-29 18:51:00Z

I am very interested in the ARP connection. The family I am researching is listed in Armstrong Co. PA in the 1860 Census - namely James Reuben Arp, his wife Elizabeth VanDyke and five children. Would you be willing to share?

Haha.. looks like the whole family is here.

My name is Lillian. I'm Hermann Jr's older sister (the one who's services he so generously volunteered).. I see you've met my Aunt Louise. Yes my dad was Frederick Hermann..

I've sent Eveni's query to my dad's brothers and sisters so that one of them can get ahold of my grandfather, who's in the States somewhere on a very extended 'holiday'. I'll let you know what I find out.

A few years ago, one of my aunts sent me a package full of pedigree and family group chart things. I couldn't find any information about the Harder line (nothing past Maria and Ben, sorry) but if you have any other questions about this line, I'll have a look to see what else is in there.

All the best with the rest of your research.

Hi there

Just wondering if you're still looking for this information. Mumu was my great grandfather...and his son (my grandfather) speaks a lot about the Chinese workers he grew up around.

Your mother was born a year after my grandfather was born. It's likely that they knew each other.

If you're still keen, please reply to this and I'll contact my grandfather (and other family members) for more information.

Cheers

Old Photo of Arp Children - Oregon

RandallMcDaniel44 — 2008-05-07 21:45:52Z

I recently purchased a bunch of old photos. One of the photos shows three young children and is labeled "Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, the Arps, Portland Oregon". I do not know when the photo was taken (maybe 1930s?).

If these are your ancestors, please contact me.

Hello Arp Representative/Relative,

Thank you for ypur willingness to help with my journey and search. I am trying to find some information about my grandfather who used to work at the Mumu Arp's farm in Alafua, Upolu Western Samoa. My grandfather was known by my mother by the name of Ah-Chew. My mother's name is Metuli (Ah-Chew) Tafiti Suli (Married name) and she still lives there in Lotopa. My mother was born in July 1930 and her father was taken back to China when she was about 3 or 4 years old. So her Father,Ah-Chew was have worked at Mumu Arps farm sometimes between 1926 and 1934. If you have any list of Chinese worker that worked in the Mumu Arps farm in Alafua in that time period I would appreciate any information or instrucation on how to get such list and/or information. We want to know of his Chnese name and where he was from in China and if there are any relatives there. Thank you once again for your help. Hope to here from you soon. Faafetai lava!~
Cheers,

Eveni Tafiti

Arp: Village of Steine, Germany to Tama County, Iowa

Deidre Badker — 2004-12-28 16:20:10Z

I am a great granddaughter of a lady named Anna Arp. She immigrated in 1887 to the United States from the Village of Steine, near Kiel or Rosendorf, Germany, at the age of 12 and settled in Dysart, Iowa. Her parents, Henrick and Bertha (Schoel) Arp, immigrated in 1893 to Tama County, Iowa. Henrick and Bertha had a large family of 11 children.
I have quite a bit of info. about this family after they settled in Iowa but not too much on when they lived in Germany.
Also am trying to find a connection to a Mr. and Mrs. Chris Wendorf (believe the wife is Bertha Schoel's sister) and trying to prove that Henrick's brothers' name was Christian Arp (Christian's wife: Lena).
Anna Marie Arp married an August Juergen Ketelsen from Schleiswig-Holstein, Germany.

If interested in comparing notes, please contact me. Thanks!

Re: Arp: Village of Steine, Germany to Tama County, Iowa

Deidre Badker — 2004-12-28 16:20:10Z

Hi, I only have one lady named Bertha Schoel in my genealogy research. She was my gr-gr grandmother. I know she came from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and married Henrick Arp. That's all I know, can't find anything else after looking for years.
Bertha may have had a sister who married a Chris Wendorf or Wellendorf....but that, too, is speculation. My gr-grandmother, Anna, (Bertha's daughter) immigrated to US at 12 years of age with her uncle and aunt, the Wendorf's. I'm thinking this Mrs. Wendorf could be Bertha's sister but then she also could have been Henrick's sister...so no conclusion.
Thanks for replying...D. Badker

Re: ARP RELATIVES

arpange — 2006-11-19 06:36:47Z

There were Arps on a Qualla Boundary census I came across. However that means they had land there and could have been either Cherokee or squatters.

There is Creek blood in the Presley side of family. A few of them were rejected from Cherokee rolls for being Creek Indian.

Re: Arp relatives

arpange — 2006-11-19 05:05:10Z

Hi, Just came across your post. I am one of the Arp's from Tennessee. I've heard that Arp/Earp story myself, but so far have yet to find the Earp connection when tracing my family tree. My grandfather is George Washington Arp (Washie) buried at Kitchens Cemetary. Few people seem to know he was married twice and seems only descendants of his 2nd marriage are known to family historians.

Would like to talk with any of the Arp's of TN. Would also like to know if its true what I always was told growing up" "If you've seen one Arp man, you've seen them all." Anyone else heard that one?

Re: In Search of lost family

arpange — 2006-11-19 05:05:10Z

Hi Matt,

I've have been told some sketchy info that our family was descended from a Hans Arp from Kiel and Strasburg. Correct me if I am wrong, but Strasburg originally was a part of Germany and later became part of France. (Hence why the family sometimes claims French heritage when truly we are German Jews.) A friend helped me locate a passenger list of 125 Arp's that escaped the Nazis and fled to America.
