I show an Albert Beversdorf in my family tree. I show he was born 1845 in Prussia, and died after 1930 in Wisconsin, probably Shawano. I only have a first name for his wife - Emelia, born 1848.

I have his father's name as Carl, no dates, but his spouse was Johanna F Zieman. Could these be in your line?

I wish I could help you on your Wisconsin Beversdorfs, but I don't think I have any information which would be helpful to you. My Albert Beversdorf was the son of Johann G. Beversdorf, born December 21, 1820 in Karnkawitz, West Prussia, married February 2, 1844 to Albertine Marie Louise Mau, born December 10, 1824, Karnkawitz. Both died in Dubuque, Iowa. We have like given names in your family and mine. We both had an Albert, a Carl and a Wilhelm. My Carl was the son of my g-grandparents, Albert Beversdorf and Mary Dolter Beversdorf. Carl never married and was killed in France during WWI. Johann G. and Albertine had a son, Frank Wilhelm, born December 1, 1855, in Karnkawitz, West Prussia. I have no information as to whether he married, or not. He died April 25, 1896. I'm awfully sorry I couldn't be of further help.

I think your name is Claire from your email address. I know your message was posted a long time ago, 2000, but my husband is a decendant from the Shawano County Wisconsin Beversdorf families. Carl Beversdorf and Johanna Zieman had Wilhelm, Julius, Albert and Matilda. They lived in villages by the name of Schonau, Ebersfeld and Demmin, Kreis Schlochau in Central Pommerania. All four of them immigrated from 1867 - 1883. Do you know if there is any connection with the Beversdorfs who settled in Iowa? I am trying to locate civil and/or church records from this part of Pommerania but am having no luck. Please advise.

Tammy,
I can provide the information you are looking for as my husband and I have been working on the whole Beversdorf family in Shawano County Wisconsin. The children of Carl Beversdorf and Johanna Zieman, who lived in Schonau/Ebersfeld/Demmin Kreis Schlochau were Wilhelm, Julius, Albert (the line we come from) and Matilda married name Strehlow then Schmidt. How do you fit in?

I might be able to help with some Beversdorf information. My husband is the 2nd great grandson of Julius Beversdorf. His great grandfather was William Beversdorf and his grandmother was Viola Beversdorf. I'd love to swap trees of information.

Feel free to e-mail me at lesgast@yahoo.com.

Steve Schultz your a 3rd cousin to my partner Richard Braatz.

Julius Beversdorf was also Richard Braatz's great great grandfather.

I have gathered some information not mentioned yet (correct me if anything seems wrong).

Julius's sister Emilie J. Beversdorf married John STREHLOW in Schonau, Pommern. She immigrated as a widow in 1883 with her children. She remarried in Town of Herman, Shawano, WI to Wilhelm H. Schmidt (a widower with children).

Julius's first wife died in 1873 and he remarried a Henrietta by the 1880 census.
I'd don't know her last name.
Could you share that info if you know it?

Julius Beversdorf's other daughters were Minna, Bertha W., and Ida M. Beversdorf all were born after 1875.

Julius & Fredricka (Jahnke)Beversdorf's daughter Matilda L. Beversdorf married Fred C. Schultz.

Fred C. Schultz and his two brothers were born in NY and I know his parents and grand parents were from Mecklenburg (Germany). Do you need this info?

Fred C. & Matilda L. (Beversdorf) Schultz had these 10 children: Elsie A., Julia, Pauline, Lillian, Hattie E.,
Freida, Florence H., Fredrick A., Matilda, and William T..

Lillian Schultz married William Braatz. They are my partners grandparents.

Richard's great grandfather Albert Braatz married an Emelia Schultz. I haven't found a tie between her and the other Schultz family members I have found.
Would you have any information on an Emelia Schultz and her family?

I was wondering what your dad's first name is and if he is related to our Schultz family members.

cousin D.

I read your interest in the Sperberg's of Shawano. My aunt was a Sperberg. Her name is Betty Rae. Fathers name Frank, Mother Freda Martens. I have a little more information if you'd like it e:mail me.

According to my information Julius Beversdorf was born June 29 1839, and had two brothers (Wilhelm, 1836 and Albert, 1844) and one sister (Emilie, 1849). Their parents were Carl Beversdorf and Johanna Fredricka Zieman. Emilie was born in Ebersfelde, Kreis Schlochau, Pommern, Prussia (later Germany). I'd assume the three brothers were born there too.

Julius married Fredricka Jahnke and traveled to America circa 1868 with three children, August, Albert C., and 6 week old Mathilda. Julius's brother Wilhelm immigrated to America sometime after 1873 and his brother Albert immigrated in 1873.

Julius and Fredricka had three sons - in addition to August and Albert C. mentioned above, there was William. There were other daughters in addition to Mathilda. I don't have their names but my mother is looking them up.

Julius's son Albert C. was my great grandfather. He's referred to as Albert C. or A.C. because there was another Albert Beversdorf living in the town of Richmond, Shawano County also. A.C.'s son Grover was my grandfather. And Grover's oldest daughter, Ione, is my mother.

We're obviously distant cousins. Where do you fit in the family tree?

I just discovered this site and your message. My mother is a Beversdorf and Julius was my great, great grandfather. My mother and one of my cousins have collected a lot of information about the Beversdorfs. I'll try to get it together and get back to you.

Are you related?

SteveWalsh28 — 2002-04-05 21:04:56Z

I am researching the Sperbergs of Shawano. I am interested in the more recent Beversdorfs. Evelyn Agnes Buettner's mother was a Sperberg. Evelyn Agnes Buettner (b. Aug. 4, 1927 in Shawano) married Hugo Beversdorf (b. April 3, 1921). They had children John, Richard, and Jane Ann. Just wondering if these names match up with any of your Beversdorfs since you said you had much on the Beversdorfs.
