Hi Linda,

This is your cousin Cathy Cole. I have not been able to find any information about Grandpa Berghoff's family in Germany yet. From what mom told me They lived in Bremerhaven, Germany, the family supposedly owned a brewery. I might help your search for info in US with the right names. Of your dad's brothers and sisters. They are June, Edward Onald, Richard and Catherine. Aunt June's married name is Lanza. Your dad is the only living sibling left. Grandma Berghoff's maiden name is Morris.

I hope you are doing well. If there is anything I can help with or if you have any other info that I do not have I would appreciate anything you are willing to share. Say Hi to your dad for me.

I went beck to the beginning of this thread so I see how you're related. Did you ever correspond with a gentleman from Wales who lived in Florida about the Burkhardt family? I've forgotten his name right now. He'd sent me a gedcom on a floppy disk that I never got put in the computer so I gave the floppy to a friend of mine to make a CD for me. Am waiting for it to be sent back. Will share it with you.

Re: Berghoff's of Cleveland, OH

SUE92846 — 2010-10-22 22:31:58Z

Well then, if you send it so that I can open it in wordpad or works, then I'll just enlarge it so I can see it.
Which branch are you descended from? I know a lot of the lines died out. You may have told me before but I think my memory's going.

So sorry I haven't gotten back to you. My biggest issue is that I don't have any of my information loaded in a family treemaker format. I have developed my own system, so I am afraid that what I send you will be very complicated to see.

I do remember those other last names. I'd love any infor you have as I've lost all 13,000 people in my database when my computer crashed. So I've had to start the last 20 years of research over again. Anything will help.

Re: Berghoff's of Cleveland, OH

BARBARABOYLE1 — 2009-11-13 20:05:03Z

Sue,
We may have been in contact once before. My ggrandmother, Rosa Burkhardt Lauer, was the sister (half) of Helena Burkhardt Berghoff, first wife of Nicholas. I do have some additional information on Helena's oldest full sister, Mary Burkhardt Auer, since we were last in contact. If you would
like that info, I would happy to pass it along and would love any new findings you might have on the Berghoff line.

Re: Berghoff's of Cleveland, OH

SUE92846 — 2009-11-13 18:45:49Z

Nicholas was my great great grandfather, George was my great grandfather, Lydia was my grandmother.
I don't believe Nicholas had a son Louis but his brother, Peter, did.
How are you related??

The couple had children: Anna (m John Hess), Josephine (m Nicholas Hess), Julia (m William Calhoun), Frances, George (m Elizabeth Lewis) and Louis.

Re: BERGHOFF

drgenstil — 2008-10-03 04:16:33Z

I would like to talk to you more about the Berghoffs. I would find it strange if the Berghoffs of Roman and the Berghoffs of Suceava were not related given the proximity. I would also like to find out more about my family tree. It would also be cool to find a relative that I didn't know about. I can be contacted via e-mail: drgenstil@yahoo.com

I was surprised at how quickly you responded given how long it has been since you made your initial posting - 2001.

Re: BERGHOFF

aefre — 2008-10-01 11:38:38Z

I have spoken to Alexander Beider, an authority on Jewish surnames, about the surname BERGHOFF. He believes it is what he calls an "artificial" surname, assigned by clerks in the Austrian Empire.
I am aware of the BERGHOFFs from Roman,and have a bit of information on your family tree. I have wondered if they are related to my family, or merely a separate manifestation of an assigned name. I would love to discuss this further. If you post your email, I will write back.

Re: BERGHOFF

drgenstil — 2008-09-30 03:35:45Z

Do you know if the name Berghoff was common for that region of Austria/Romania? My Great Great Grandfather was, I think, also named Jacob Berghoff and he was from Roman, Romania - about 100 km from Suceava. He immigrated to the US in 1920.

MikeMcDon32 — 2007-01-02 19:38:12Z

My name is Mike McDonald. I'm trying to search for a Bernard Leland Berghoff who would have been born in 1940 in, I believe, West Virginia and was a son to Bernard S and Bessie Violet (Williams) Berghoff.

Bessie was a daughter of Earl Cross and Rosa Violet (Darrah) Williams. My wife's grandmother is a sister to Bessie. I believe that he may be living in Tallahassee, Florida since it appears that his father may have passed there.

I know very little about my mother's side of the family. I don't even know her parents names. Pretty bad, eh?.
My mother's first name was Erma, and I know she had a sister named Dorthoy. But that is all I know.
We lived in Taylor, Mich as I was growing up.
I just know her parents are from Germany and owned some land there, don't know what they did, but they came to America when she was only 4 yrs old, in Gary Id, and then moved to Mich.
Sorry, that is all the info I have.
Thank you for your concern

I am still researching the BERGHOFF family who lived in Suceava, Bukovina, Austria, [now Romania] in the 19th and early 20th c. There was also probably a branch in Germany [incl.

Some family first names included: Simon, Edward or Itzak, Brina, Hersh or Harry, Keile, Sarah Malka, and Hannah.

it has been a while since I done this but I do know that they have raised the price a little . Check with the SS and find out the prices for a copy of your mother SS application . if you know the SS# it cost about $7/8 if you don't know it then it cost about $15 . like I have said the prices have changed alittle . this should have things like date and place of birth , parents names . and just maybe a little extra that might help in your search .

if youy need help finding out let me know . it will take me a bit to find it again on the net .
