Hello. This was my great grandmother. 5/28/1891 to 5/8/1984. Just wondering if there are any other relatives out there that we don't know about.

Re: Baltz,Ballz,Beals,Bells

rhondamosley — 2011-04-18 18:42:44Z

I am also looking for family with similar spelling. My spelling is Bealts which I now know is an incorrect spelling because all spellings found are from my immediate tree -- my mom, her siblings and that's it.

I wonder if there is a possible connection here. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Maybe we can work together.

Re: BALTZ family from St. Clair County, IL

janetandrew11 — 2011-03-08 20:40:08Z

Hello,
I am also researching the Baltz family (settled in Philadelphia in the late 1800's.) On the 1880 Census form, Henry Baltz (1846-?) from Philadelphia states that his father (no name given) was from Hessen. In my research, I found the Johann Phillip Baltz was from Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany. If he was born in 1830, that would make him a 16 year old father of Henry which seems dubious. I also don't know of any relatives from Illinois, but you never know. I would be interested in seeing what you have uncovered. I hope to hear from you. Janet

The timing of your note is amazing. I was doing this research for my step-father. I haven't pursued it in years. But just 3 days ago my step-father passed away. His sister (age 88) will be here next weekend for the memorial service, so I will try to quiz her for information.

Your information looks like it has potential. I will definitly pursue it. Thanks so much.

Hi, my husband's great grandfather is Ernest Bals, born in Munich. His brother was Joseph Ludwig (Louis) Bals. Do you know more about Ernest? Maybe we're related. He married Elizabeth J., who was born in New York, and had several children, one of whom was Joseph Martin Baltz, my husband's grandfather.

Re: Joseph Baltz - Prussia to New York - late - 1800's

hmaxwellbaltz — 2010-09-19 14:53:46Z

Hi, I don't know whether you're still working on your family tree, but I believe Joseph Ludwig (Louis) Bals might be your guy. He's the brother of Ernest Bals, my husband's great grandfather. Joseph married Josepha Weidemann. I'm not sure when they came over from Germany, but they did have three daughters, so far as I can tell: Katherine, Caroline and Josephine, not sure of birth dates for Katherine and Josephine. I found Joseph as Louis in several New York city directories. His daughter Caroline was living with Ernest's family in the 1920 census.

Do you know any more?

My GG grandfather George Frederick Baltz II Was born in Darmstadt Germany 31 Jan 1818.His wife was Ann Crow.
They had 4 children that I know of:

George Frederick Baltz III, my g grandfather born 18 June 1854
Thomas Baltz
William Baltz
John Baltz

His Father was George Frederick Baltz I. His Mother Barbara Von Busch brought her children to Philadelphia in the 1830s I think.

George Frederick BaltzII and My G grandfather George Frederick BaltzIII were living in Hagerstown MD during the civil war
I have a hunch that your William Frederick Baltz is brother of my George Frederick Baltz III

I do not have any info on this family other than what was posted. IF you find anything, please let me know. The life span you posted for William would have him as Christian's father or Uncle if they are related.

My gggrandfather was William Frederick Baltz b. 1843
and d. 1923 in Philadelphia. I have not been able to
find anything on his siblings. I'm thinking
that the last name was not very popular so the ones in Phil. are probably related.
Do you have any info. on him????

Anything you have on this family would be great.

Re: Carrie Amelia Baltz daughter of August Eugenia (Simmonet) Baltz

My GG grandfather, George Frederick Baltz was born in Darmstadt Germany 31 January 1818. His father was also George Frederick Baltz who was a blacksmith in Napolions army. His Mother was Barbara Von Busch, born about 1775.
Barbara brought her children to Philadelphia in about 1830.
She had quite a few children but I only know of my GG grandfather. My grandfather was Charles Augustus Baltz.

Your names and dates and places make me wonder if we are part of the same Baltz family.

While searching for my Baltz/Bals relatives I wrote down information on August and Eugenia Baltz born in NY. They appeared in the 1880 Census ages 29 and 23 respectively. His father was from Germany; hers from France. They had 3 daughters:
Carrie born in 1875, Jennie, born in 1887, and Edith born that year, and was 11 mo. old. I am looking for relatives of George Bals, my GGGrandfather who settled in Michigan.

Iugenheim is the town Ingelheim. Hese Dormstadt is the town Darmstadt in the county Hesse (German: Hessen). Ingelheim and Darmstadt are ca. 50 miles away from each other. A have a John Balz who is born 1823 in Hesse Darmstadt - in a very little village named Balkhausen. Perhaps he is a brother of Jacob

Re: RE: relative? Ron Miller

AdelaideLow63 — 2008-07-20 02:18:33Z

My grandmother was a Baltz. The Baltz lived in Saunders Co. just across the Platte river from Dodge Co, Fremont, Ne. There is a cemetery in the Pohacca area where many of the Baltz family are buried. The church was destroyed by someone starting it on fire. My great grandparents Herman and Katie (Backhous,Backhus) Baltz are buried in that cemetery. There was a Frank Baltz whom my grandmother said was a cousin to her dad. Frank's granddaughter (?)is also researching that family and I am in contact with her.

Re: John Baltz

repper43 — 2008-07-16 16:30:03Z

Thanks for the reply. I have Hesse Dormstadt as the birthplace for Jacob. I have not researched this to see if Iugenheim is in that area. I thought they had Hesse Dormstadt as John's birthplace also in one of the census.

Re: John Baltz

rwilder46785 — 2008-07-11 12:59:17Z

I think you are correct as they both ended up in Spencerville, DeKalb County, Indiana. The History of Spencerville has a photo of Jacob Baltz working in his blacksmith shop. I don't know who their parents were, but would be glad to share what I have. John Baltz was born in Iugenheim, Germany. Do you know if that is the same area as where Jacob was born? I have a old family bible with some family information written in German that I think came from the family of one of the two wives of John.

Re: John Baltz

repper43 — 2008-07-10 12:19:44Z

I have a Jacob Baltz born 1815 in Hesse Dormstadt coming to Seneca County, Ohio. I presume he and John would be brothers. I do not know who the parents are as yet. Jacob was married to a "Barbara" and had 11 children.

RobertClayton84 — 2005-05-12 14:51:49Z

Not related. I see by your other postings and responses that you have already made headway with this. Do you have the basic census info on them? The 1880 census is free at LDS Family Search site and has your August Baltz family in Barry MI.

1870 lists both families in Orleans, Jefferson County NY:

BALTZ, Elizabeth, 64, b. Darmstadt Germany
George, 28, NY
August, 19, NY

Simonet, Marcel, 69, b. France
Adaline, 57, France
Eugene, 23, Eugenia, 1(also KEPLER, John, 17, NY living with family)

Good luck with the hunt. Great that you have them so far back.

Of the information I have, their is a Elizabeth Mary Baltz born in 1872. She was married to Peter Louis Ludwig Hageman. I haven't seen anyone with the name Charlie. The descendancy chart I have has many women with the middle name Mae. I know for a fact that I am a descendant of John Baltz who was born in Morschweiler, France. He was married to Theresa Dooszmann. They had a son, John Friedrick Baltz who was born in Ferdiandshoff, Pommern. He was in the Prussian Military. He married in Germany in 1867 to Amelia Koehler. They immigrated to Henry Co., Illinois. They later moved to Nebraska in 1870. Does this tie into your family?

Carlton Joseph Baltz and Bessie Baltz Cusick Wistner

Amanda Baltz — 2003-06-06 15:03:49Z

Carlton Joseph Baltz and Bessie Baltz Wistner were given up to orphanages in or near Buffalo NY at young ages circa 1909-1910. There is family rumor of a car wreak or father leaving the family or that their mother died and he was unable to care for the two children. Bessie was adopted by a Cusick family and married Albert Wistner who sold bakery equipment in Buffalo. Carlton grew up in a orphanage ran by nuns and worked on a farm in the summer for a man whom he lived with. I haven't had access to 1920 census records to locate him as of yet. Carlton is my husband's grandfather. He married Helen Radlich. Carlton died May 2 1995 at his residence 132 Briarwood Dr, West Seneca NY. His daughter still resides at this address. Bessie contacted Carlton in his later years and told him of them being brother and sister. There is no record of a marriage for Carlton and his wife Helen. Anyone with info...
