Alaxander (Alexander) Berton (abt 1853 France- Feb 16, 1901 Indiana)

MichaelDahms — 2008-03-24 08:49:46Z

Does anyone have any information on Alaxander who married Augustine (abt 1862 France- ? Indiana)? I do not have Augustine's maiden name, nor the names and dates of her parents. The only information I have on the parents of Alax is that they were born in France. Any help would be appreciated

voltguy — 2008-01-30 22:24:18Z

I have a copy of Doris' document. It can get confusing because some people list Georg, as George and Johan and Johann. Or the first and second names get switched.

Bernhard (with an h)and his wife Anna elisbeth Orner (not Arner) had a son George Jacob Rex b. June 17, 1750. He married Anna Maria Yates.

Their son George Adam Rex, b. "about 1777", married Anna Maria Spengler. They moved to Stark Co., OH. I don't show a second marriage. No clue who Christine Weaver is. don't have children listed. There are not two George Adam Rexes.

Bernard Jacob's son Wilhelm Rex b. Feb 12, 1756 married Margaretha (unknown) and had 3 sons one of which is Johan Wilhelm Rex (exact spelling) Sept 24, 1781 married Maria Magdalena (unknown).

Anna Maria Hunsicker b. about 1755 married Johann George Rex (exact spelling). He was born about 1750. His parents are Wilhelm Rex (exact spelling)b. 1721 and Margaretha Rupert b. Nov 25, 1723.

I hope this helps.

Celine and doug

My late uncle, John Robert Berton of Shreveport LA., did some rather exhaustive and extensive research on the Berton name before he died a couple years ago. If either of you would like to find out how to obtain a copy of this book, let me know. I put a post on another thread containing my contact information, but I'll give it to you here as well. you can reach me at tonyberton@yahoo.com. I can then forward information as to how to get a hold of my mother, who will know how to get in touch with either my aunt or his sons. She told me that if I find anyone wanting information on the Berton family, to let them know. I hope this will help you both.

James, my name is Tony Berton. I was adopted by Burdett and Jo Ann Berton in 1977. More recently, my uncle John Berton, who was my father's brother, did some fairly extensive research on the Berton Family, and had a book published as a result of his research. If you are interested, my mother has a copy, and she can tell me how to get a copy. If you would like to contact me, my email address is tonyberton@yahoo.com. Leave me an e-mail when you read this, and I will then send a reply as to how to contact me or my mother. She told me that if I happen to find anyone that is researching the Berton family, that she would be more than happy to help them, and so am I. I hope this helps, and good luck

Rex Family - PA

cwood1411 — 2007-12-04 13:07:09Z

I am soooo confused! Trying to piece together info from Schutte records published in Genealogy Quarterly and other researcher records

Am I mixing up the REX family?

Maybe someone can tell me if there are errors in her research? or am I not following this right?

For example:
Georg Adam REX - there are two of them.
Georg Adam REX b. 17 Jun 1750 son of George Jacob and Anna YATES married first to Maria Spengler and second to Christine Weaver
and his uncle George Adam REX b. 11 Jan 1766 son of Bernard Jacob and Anna Orner who married Barbara Unknown.

Also confusing is:
Johann Wilhelm REX b. 24 Sep 1781 d.30 mar 1856 married Maria Magdelena UNKNWOWN son of Wilhelm REX b 12 feb 1756 and Margaretha UNKNOWN.
who is mixed up with another Johann George REX b 24 Jun 1781 who was the son of Wilhelm REX and Elisabeth Handwerk and was married to Maria Magdelena HUNSICKER

Can anyone straighten this out?
