debbieriedl1 — 2011-10-04 02:34:15Z

I'm trying to locate the Bier family that settled in Northern California. My grandfather was Henry Bier Nickname, Hank born in December 1915, First moved to Fresno then settled in the Bay area. He married Velma Duart and they had 6 boys, Dale, Donald, Gary, Dale, Doug, David & Jerry. Henry's family came to the US by elis island and had 4 brothers (i think) named alex, Dave Ed and Carl and sisters,, Mary and Kate. I don't know much on this side of the family so anything will help.

oops...I just replied to an earlier message that you left on this board.

Send me an email to (sdgold @ optonline.net) without the spaces (Ancestry won't let people post an email address, so I added the spaces).

While we are not blood relatives, we are related through the Bier clan. I am in touch with members of the Bier family that are my blood relatives as well as with a couple that are not - but they are related to you.

I look forward to your email so that I can reply with the family tree.

Re: Kopper Bier and Ethel Kanner

goldbergresearch — 2009-09-27 20:31:52Z

Hi Francie,

I have you and your whole ancestry in my Bier database. your part of the Bier family was sent to by Mary Wilson Bier. You are a descendant of Jacob Koppel Bier and his first wife Goldie Powder. My Bier relatives are descended from Jacob Koppel Bier and his second wife Ethel Kanner. I am related to the Kanner family. So, we are not actually blood relatives.

You can contact me at sdgold @ optonline.net if you would like to discuss further. I have information on the Bier family including photos and articles regarding Koppel Bier. I also have cemetery photos and cemetery cards. Do you have any photo's of him and his descendents?

I also have connected with a number of Bier's through email and facebook.

Regards,
Steve

Re: Kopper Bier and Ethel Kanner

franfeder — 2009-09-27 16:49:59Z

Hi, I just read your note on Koppel Bier and he was my grandfater's grandfather! My grandfather was Gilbert Bier (he died June 2004), and my father is Barry Bier. I've been interested in finding some family history and I've found a lot about my great grandmother (Pearl Zemel Bier) and I was very happy to find SOMETHING else, so if you have any other info I would love to read about it! Thanks and you DO have other family out there! I hope to hear from you soon!

Re: Bier that immigrated to IA & WA 1882

patchfaye2 — 2009-09-10 01:30:04Z

Hi Nan,

Not my side of the family. Conrad and George Bier came straight to Iowa in 1882 & 1872. Henry went straight to Tacoma WA with his wife Brigetta in 1882. A sister Elizabeth came across with Henry and Brigetta and I believe she came to WA possible ending up in Spokane, but have not been able to verify. There was one other brother Paul that I have not information on. He possibly stayed in Germany.

Thanks,
Christine

tollnan41 — 2009-09-09 00:52:28Z

Hello again,
I wanted to let you know I have not heard a thing from the lady I was communicating with,I really hope she is doing o.k.

But the town of Hesse and Hessen,are they the same place ?

Because the Kohlmann's were from Altmorschen Hesse,Germany...

Are these the same people? If so,let me know,my family moved to Sandusky,Ohio in 1851.So,here's how my family goes...

Johann Kohlmann married to Dorothea Bier in 1842 Germany..

They had 3 daughters in Germany....moved to Ohio and had two more daughters and one son.
His son (Phillip) and John did stone-cutting for a living.

If any of this sounds like your side of the family,write to me and let me know,as far as I know there isn't any info on Dorothea or Johann,just what was in Ohio,and I still don't have that yet from the lady I was talking to on line.

Thanks (Please) send anything you might think looks like kin to both sides of the family. Nan

I read your e-mail on line on the Bier's today and it looks like you might be from our side of the family.

I don't have a lot of the info yet but,I have been talking with a lady on this Bier family.So,if I get anything more I will write back to you.

If you don't hear anything please write back. Nan

Re: Koppel Bier (Hoboken,NJ) and Ethel Kanner

tollnan41 — 2009-09-03 16:49:34Z

Hello,
I am not sure if we are the same family..I just found that our Bier's are from Sandusky,Ohio.

If you think there might be any kin to me,please drop me a line.I am waiting for a answer from a lady in this city.
Some of our names is Kohlmann(Kollman)spelling always was changed when they came to America.
I do think Dorothea Bier had a brother named John.But such common names makes it really hard to find.Need dates to make it so.
Please send any info you might think is related to our family. Nan

Re: Bier that immigrated to IA & WA 1882

Thank you for reading my little bit of information,as you can see I just spoke to a lady on the net,I am waiting to hear from her,when I get any info I will write back and see if we are the same family,from Germany.

If you don't hear from me,drop a line in about two weeks,that will give me time to hear back from this super lady who does have a lot of information I never knew of.

I go to the mail box everyday to see if I received any thing
about the Bier's or the Kohlmann's.

Talk with you soon..... Nan

Re: Bier that immigrated to IA & WA 1882

patchfaye2 — 2009-09-03 02:46:06Z

Hi Nan,

I don't have much information on the Bier's. I am also searching for information. My great great grandfather was Conrad Bier born Aug 30, 1860 Kreiss Kershleim Hessen, Kassil, Germany. His parents were John Bier and Elizabeth Thies (mothers last name questionable). Conrad had 3 brothers-Paul, Henry (1851)who imigrated to Tacoma, WA, George (1857) who imigrated to Meservey, IA also.

Please let me know if any of these names sound familiar when you get your additional information.

You can contact me directly at Patchfaye2@msn.com.

Re: Brown County, OH

spegler — 2009-07-02 22:20:33Z

I'm interested in your Biers because the family I'm trying to find married into a Miller/Peter family that settled in Brown Co., OH abt 1833. They later moved to LaSalle Co., IL.

I'm looking for John Bier, born abt 1843, said in Wurtemburg, but I'm beginning to wonder. He married abt 1875 in LaSalle Co., IL.

The Peters and Millers were from Switzerland originally or neighboring parts of Germany.

Hi,

I've slacked of a little on my ancestry work, but it could be that my Uncle Henry Bier could be a relative. There were quite a number of the Bier family in Pittsburgh. My family tended to all be in the South Hills, but I have to go check my notes. My mother has tons of information - she is 84, but doing well. Someone else contacted her about family history. She knows way more than me. I can look up her email - don't have it in my head at the moment.

Henry may have signed declaration of intent in Allegany PA about 1868. Henry married Sarah Frances (Wise) Phariss in Mt. Vernon, Lawerence County MO in 1887.

Bier that immigrated to IA & WA 1882

patchfaye2 — 2009-03-16 04:05:25Z

Hi,

I am searching for my gg grandfather Conrad Bier's parents or other family. Conrad was born 30 Aug 1860 Kreiss, Kershleim Hessen, Kassil, Germany and married Augusta Louise Ukro they farmed outside Meservey, Cerro Gordo, IA. It appears Conrad immigrated in 1882 by himself.

Conrad had three brothers:
George who farmed in Cerro Gordo, Cty, IA.

Henry G who was a school teacher immigrated directly to Tacoma, Pierce County with his wife Brigitta who was from either Austria or Hungry. It appears a younger sister Elizabeth immigrated with them in Dec 1882.

Paul - I am unable to locate any information on Paul and if he immigrated to the US or not.

I have their parents listed as John and Elizabeth (Thies) Bier - have been unable to find any information on them and if they immigrated or not.

Any help appreciated and I am glad to share any information on the siblings that may be of interest to others.

John G. Bier of LaSalle county, Illinois

spegler — 2008-11-29 16:51:36Z

Looking for information on John. He was born in Germany, probably Wurtemburg about 1841 or 1843. He married in 1875 in LaSalle county Mary Ann (Peters) Miller. They had one child, William G. Bier. John only appears in the one census of 1880. I can't find him before or after in any records except for the marriages of his step-children in the mid 1880s to Beisswanger siblings.

Family history has it that he abandoned his family and remarried, or that he was married before he married Mary Ann.

My family of Bier's are all from Allegheny County, PA - mostly from the South Hills. They came here from Germany, and my grandfather was Henry. Henry came from a very large family, so it's possible that there was a relationship.

Re: Searching for Henry Bier

I also have a grandfather, Henry John Bier from Pennsylvania. He had a son Henry John who died about 10 years ago. Not sure if this is the same lineage, but I think that they were in PA from the time they came into the country in 1881.

Nanatothree — 2007-01-12 01:57:23Z

PLEASE NOTE, THIS WAS POSTED FOR REFERENCE ONLY. I AM NOT RELATED TO, NOR AM I RESEARCHING THIS FAMILY, I’VE ONLY DONE A COPY AND PASTE FROM OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER FYI.

THIS INFO HAS BEEN POSTED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE EDITOR OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD.

Mary Kathryn (Katzy) Bier
Posted: Thursday, Jan 11, 2007 - 03:56:35 pm PST
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

Mary Kathryn (Katzy) Bier, 88, passed away on Monday, Jan. 9, 2007, in Moses Lake.

Katzy was born the youngest of 13 children, raised and educated in Valley Park, Mo., where her father was the mayor. The family eventually moved to St. Louis, Mo., where Katzy worked as a receptionist at her oldest brother's automotive business and there she met her husband, Charles (Salty) Bier. They married in St. Louis, Mo., in 1944 and later moved to Peoria, Ill., then to Salem, Ore., where they raised their three daughters.

Homemaking and child-raising were not simply careers for Katzy, they were her passion and her life. She had a deep and abiding love for God and was a fervent prayer warrior for her children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Katzy was an active parishioner of St. Therese's Catholic Church in Salem, Ill., where she was involved in the Avila League Women's Organization for many years.

Widowed in 1988, Katzy ultimately, years later, made the decision to leave her home and friends in Salem and moved to Royal City to be near family. She became a resident of the Hearthstone Retirement Inn where staff and residents quickly became her cherished friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Bernadine Young, her husband of 44 years, Charles; her brothers, Milton, Charles, William, Lee, Joseph, and John, and her sisters, Celeste and Marie. She was also preceded in death recently by her great grandson Gregory Stark.

She is survived by her daughters Mary Evrard (James) of Kingwood, Texas, Susan Gimby (Paul) of Olivenhain, Calif., and Barbara Stark (Mike) of Royal City; grandchildren, James Evrard, Jeffrey Evrard, Lisa Lovoi, Douglas Gimby, Allyson Yarbrough, Mike Stark, Colleen Bell, Tara Cloutier; and nine great children.
