crocodileonthesandbank — 2009-07-07 20:02:39Z

William is the only Bergin male in my family to come to America. Another brother John, stayed in Ireland with his parents. William had two children, Joseph and Michael, neither of whom, I believe, were policemen. Unhappily for everyone researching Irish ancestors, many people have the same last name. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

My Charles Bergen was born about 1860, supposedly in Rhode Island, claimed Louis and Christina as his parents on his 1883 marriage, however, I cannot find him on any census earlier than 1900. I find Louis & Christine in 1900 in Detroit with a child also born in Rhode Island, so the connection is logical, but see they were not married when Charles was born, so she must be his stepmother. He also names a John Bergen as brother on his obit, but I cannot find him either. Do you have them on census, etc? interested to share more. Thanks!

Re: von bergen

LizzieYoder — 2007-12-06 01:55:47Z

Hello,
I have tracked my family back to Jacob Hertzler- I was born Amish. My mother was a Byler and hers was a Hostetler.

I don't know my family because we were all "shunned" when my parents chose to leave- when we were young children. There are "Wengers" in my family book-but mostly Bylers, Hostetlers, Yoders, and Zooks.

My gr. gr. gr. gr. gr. grandmother was Barbara Wenger and she married Jacob Hoffman. Jacob was left with an Amish family when his parents went west, but they never returned for him. I have quite a few relatives that lived in Nebraska (1880-1904) to settle, then later returned to Ohio, Indiana, Pa and such. Aaron Hostetler writes that "reports were that they were killed by Indians."

I would love to make contact with any of my family members, obviously the non-Amish are more likely to respond. Please contact me if you think we may be related: lilac_moon_99@yahoo.com

Hello Beth: Thanks for your reply.

This is what appeared in the Ancestry page:

volume 29
Page Number: 159

Reference: Bergen fam. des of Hans Hansen Bergen of NY. By Teunis G. Bergen. Albany, 1876. (658p.):295

So, that is all I know. I believe the vol. and page number refers to the American Genealogical Biographical Index and the 295 refers to the Bergen book. If you can check that, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Emile

Re: Bergen Clan

richpatton — 2006-04-19 21:00:13Z

Sam, do you recall if the book you saw had to do with Bergens from Chicago? Or, where?

Thanks, Rich

Re: Bergen Clan

richpatton — 2006-04-19 21:00:13Z

Sam, wish I could help with your line. However, all I know
is that my great-grandfather, Michael Francis Bergen, came
from a father named Michael Bergen and mother named Alice
O'Rourke. The two supposedly emigrated from somewhere
in Ireland to Canada; then, down to the States.

Michael Francis Bergen then married Anna Murphy in Chicago in 1883. No firm knowledge where his folks were, any siblings, etc.

Have no knowledge of the Bergens you mentioned.

Good hunting. Rich Patton

Re: casper bergen

Re: von bergen

richpatton — 2006-04-19 21:00:13Z

I can't give a definitive answer to your question. I can, though, tell you two things about my own situation. Perhaps the last one will help.

First, my Bergens are from Ireland....that's been pretty well confirmed. Second, in my tree are von Kreinerts. My g-grandfather was born in 1845 in Trier, Germany. When he migrated to the U.S., the name was shortened to Krein. Why? Don't know his reasoning. From my knowledge of history I know there was a lot of hatred toward Germans in the U.S., especially during World War I. Many Germans changed their names so they wouldn't stand out as Germans.

Hope this is of some help.

Good hunting.

Fred Grant Bergen was born on Jun. 13, 1865 in Galesburg (Knox Co.), IL. As of 1908, he lived in Summerfield (Marshall Co.), KS. On Nov. 2, 1908, he joined the Sons of the American Revolution, on behalf of the service of his Revolutionary War ancestor, Jeremiah Bingham.

The 1910 census showed Fred Grant Bergen living in Marshall Co., KS.

I am seeking his death date/ place and obituary.

Hi,

I have a Pierre Bergeron born about 1833 in Canada, married to Marie Cloutier, born about 1841 in Canada, living in Minnesota. On all church records, he is Pierre Bergeron; on all civil records like census, he is Peter Bergen. They have 6 children, Delema (1863), Louis(1865), Cyril(1868), Joseph (1878), Moise (1879), and Philomene (1882).

They live in McLeod county 1870 - 1885. Then the family moves to western Minnesota, and possible to Manitoba.

Is this related to your family book?

Re: Bergen's in New Jersey

martinld1 — 2007-01-16 03:12:08Z

Curious if you have found out more on your Peter G. Bergen of NJ, especially his siblings (John G, George G, Sarah, Mary and Ida).. I am looking into Peter G.'s uncle George's descendants.

Also, I find it intriquing the repeating of the same names in similiar sequences between these brothers.. Also can you tell me what the G stands for.. It would seem strange to me it would be George George Bergen for George G. Bergan, even though the first recorded was Jores George Hansen Bergen.

Re: Bergen's in New Jersey

martinld1 — 2007-03-07 01:42:25Z

Thanks.
Since I posted my original query I found there is one book, not two.. Teunis Bergen was the author and Joel Munsell was the publisher...

The Jane Bergen, b. 1770, from page 441 was not the Jane Bergen from page 434 who married Henry Davis.

I guess I will keep looking for more on the Jane Bergen of page 434.

Re: Bergen's in New Jersey

martinld1 — 2007-02-14 23:01:55Z

Do you perhaps anything on Peter Bergen's children, especially Jane Bergen.
I am attempting to see if there is a connection between the Jane Bergen, daughter of Peter Bergen mentioned on page 434 in the book by Joel Munsell, which I have seen, and a Henry and Jane Davis living in Cranberry, NJ covered in the 1st Presby. Church records there... There is never a mention of Jane Davis'
maiden name and she must also have also died right around 1807 as Henry Davis married a Phebe Rue in 1807 in Cranberry..

In Joel Munsell book, on page 434 of the Bergen family descendants of Hans Hansen Bergen of NY it mentions; quote: " 460 - Jane Bergen, b. ____, married Henry Davis, and died prior to 1813, the date of her father's will, leaving surviving issue, of whom no trace", endquote...

Ancestry.com also referenced a Jane Bergen from another book on the descendants of Hans Bergen by Teunis G. Bergen and giving her birth date as 1770... I was wondering if this second book by Teunis Bergen had more than just the birth date...

Re: Looking for Bergens in Canada

I am looking for more information about this woman. She married John E Tierney and had three children in SD. I have what I am pretty sure is her death certificate and it says her parents were Tom Bergen and Mary Ryan. She was born 31 Aug 1866 in Cresco, Howard Co., Iowa and died 06 Apr 1954 in Aberdeen, Brown Co., SD. I have several names for her ranging from Maggie A Tierney to Berrigan and Bergin depending on the census or marriage certificate of two of her kids that you look at.
