Thanks for that information. My grandfather was in St. Vincent, too, but that St. Vincent was a home for the indigent in Pennsylvania, US.

I'll did around on Ancestry to see if they have anything that might help you.

Watch this space!

thank you for your reply
st vincent now known as st vincent and the grenadines, an island in the caribben. it was a slave colony of Great Britain
during the 17th, 18th and 19th century. the site that ifound the name Blucher showed that the 19 year old was owned by someone. Charles Blucher died in St Vincent 1894 at the age 0f
63 years. He was matried to Lucy Raymond and had several childfren. I am a descendant from the female line.
I do not know if my great grandfather was born in Europe or St Vincent. It appears as if he had a sister by the name of Elizabeth Blucher.

Well, I'd like to help, but more information is needed. For instance, where or what is St. Vincent?

Please remember that posts to these boards are from all over the world, so you need to be specific.

Hi

It will be easier for someone to help if you'll provide more information, for instance -

Where he was born;
Where he married;
Where he lived;
Names of children and where they were born;
Parents' names, birth dates, and places.

Good luck!

I am researching this family right now and wondering if you have come up with any more information that might confirm that "Jack" is Jonas, and also if you have found any information on the death dates/places of Jack and Mamie? Thank you.

Re: Frederick L. von Blucher

ljrhein — 2008-05-12 06:15:51Z

Thank you for clarity.. Felix Anton aka Anton Hans Helmuth Von Blucher had a child named Anna Elisabeth. There are many simularities here and the descendancy has many Fredricks. Fredrick Wilhelm, etc.. will research databases for names.

Re: Frederick L. von Blucher

ljrhein — 2008-05-11 23:23:02Z

Frederick, there is a long line of V. Bluchers in Texas, but they derived from Felix Anton V. Blucher aka Anton Hans Helmuth V. Blucher. If you need help, I will help you need more data and there is Frederick in my line with an Elisabeth but it is in Prussia/Germany in the 1600's. My email is lorijr@alltel.net will be glad to help you. Have family in Germany/Austria that will help you too. Please contact me.. Lori Rhein/VonBlucher thru Patricia who is my mother..

Australian Bluchers

2006-11-16 22:22:08Z

In the 1800s there were at least three migrations to Australia by members of the Blucher family. These three separate migrations trace back to the following Bluchers.
SA Bluchers
Hans Christian Blucher, born 23-Dec-1770 in Zahrensdorf.
NZ & QLD Bluchers
Christian Frederick Wilhelm Blucher, born 1828, somewhere in Germany.
VIC Bluchers
Johann Joachim Diederich Blucher, born 12-Dec-1801 in Bresegard.
Is anyone able to shed any light on these three Bluchers?
Is anyone able to trace the these lineages back even further?

I would like to be able to connect these lineages to the main Blucher family tree. Any assistance provided will be greatly appreciated.

No easy connection between Krieblowitz(Wahlstatt) and Poggelow branches. Lots of criss crossing of lines.

They lead up and connect at

Re: Gustav von Blucher

christina_bluchermanning — 2006-05-25 13:53:04Z

Hi David,

Gustav von Blucher who was in Civil War was my gt grandfather. My grandfather was his son by his 2nd marriage. Gustav was born in Copenhagen in Denmark in 1842 and after a short time in the Prussian Army went to the US where he joined the Union Army's fight against the Confederates. He returned to Europe in abt 1870 in the hope of joining in the Franco-Prussian war but it ended before he got there! He then returned to the US until about 1875, returning to Denmark sometime before 1885 where he married Rigmor Peterssen. Any information you can give me about his time in the service of the US Union Army would be much appreciated.
Regards
Christina Blucher-Manning

Re: Gustav von Blucher

2006-05-08 02:21:55Z

Gustav Roger 1842-1895.

He travelled back and forth across the Atlantic several times.
Here's the story. I'm his Gt Grandson, by his 2nd Wife.

He joined the Prussian army at the age of 17 and on 12 March 1862 he was awarded the rank of Lieutentant. He then quit the service and went to America to participate in the Civil War as a volunteer with the Union Army. He enlisted to fight against the Confederates between 1861 and 1865. He reached the rank of Major during this time and fought in several major battles. (His original orders have been passed down the male line of the family and are currently held by Robert Ulric von Blucher, great grandson. Gustav was also awarded an American Passport, printed on parchment which is also in the possession of Robert.

During his time in America, Gustav married and had a son and daughter, Conrad and Emily, respectively. Little is known about his spouse and the children.

At the outbreak of the Franco-German War in 1870, Gustav returned to Prussia to participate on the German side. The war, however, was concluded quickly and he arrived too late to participate, so he returned to America and re-entered the army there. Towards the end of 1874 he was a Major in the 22nd Infantry Regiment in Fort Woyne, Detroit/Michigan. The last report of him in the Family History was in 1878.

Gustav returned to Denmark sometime after 1878 and before 1885 and married Rigmor Mathilda Pettersson, by who he had a further two children.

Cheers

Michael Robert von Blucher

What Blucher estate was sold to Max Schmeling? The Field Marshall's estate was used as a retirement home for Blucher's and then sold and used as the American Embassy until destroyed in Word War II. It was next to the Brandenburg Gate. My family had dealings in its sale. There were numerous "estates" but I have never heard of a Max Schmeling connection.

Re: Printed genealogical tree of Blucher family 1214 until 2001

I have much info on the family. I am a direct descendent. Contact me with specifics, too much to share here.

Gebhard Lebrecht von Blucher

2006-05-01 02:58:13Z

I wouldn't hold my breath looking for a link from Joshua to Gebhard. You won't find one. That branch is long been studied and all descendants accounted for.

Funny thing is, there are far more people claiming descent from Gebhard today, than he actually has living descendants.

Three of his children died in infancy, one died aged 4, another aged 8. Two never produced any offspring and the remaining son that did, has a well documented lineage.

Cheers

Just another Blucher, not descended from Gebhard.

Re: Information on Joshua Blucher

2005-03-18 18:22:11Z

I am interested in information on George Blucher's family. He was the son of Joshua, was born about 1859, and married Loula/Louisa White at Lafayette County Missouri. They had at least two daughters Eula and Ethel,born about 1889 and 1898. My interest is in the family of L. White who was my grandmother's sister.

Catherine Blucher and Michael Rickel

2004-12-20 22:53:15Z

I am looking for a connection between Catherine Blucher b. about 1767 in Wartenburg, Sachsen, Preussen d. 12 Jan 1852 and General Gebhard Blucher. My grandmother seemed to had made a connection that I can not find and I am unable to find the sources she used to make it. It is so hard to get information about her. I did have an e-mail from someone who had said that they had made the connection between the two and it was through the house of Poggelow, but I have not yet heard back from her.

As for Michael Rickel b. about 1763 in Wartenburg, Sachsen, Preussen d. 15 Apr 1837 in Wartenburg, Sachsen, Preussen. He married Catherine Blucher 2 Aug 1758 and they had two children that I know of Elizabeth and John Blucher Rickel who I have all information for!

I would really appreciate any help that I can get! Thank you so much for your time! My e-mail address is gone2gig@ yahoo.com.

Thanks again

I am looking for information on the parents of Catherine Blucher b. about 1767 in Wartenburg, Sachsen, Preussen d. 12 Jan 1852 and Michael Rickel b. about 1763 in Wartenburg, Sachsen, Preussen. Catherine and Michael were married on 2 Aug 1758 in Somerset, PA.
I know of two children: Elizabeth Rickel b. 10 Jun 1785 in Bedford Co., PA d. Dec 9 1859. She married John Harbaugh on Dec 25 1805 and had eight children.
The second child is John Blucher Rickel b. 4 Oct 1784 in Lancaster, PA d. 31 Jan 1860.

Re: v. Blücher - Sukow/Poggelow branch

2003-10-22 10:10:18Z

Hello,

If your ancestor worked on the Poggelow estate, he most likely will have worked there during the time my ancestor Karl Wilhelm v. Blücher owned the esate. He had been given Poggelow in 1819 by his father-in-law Gualter von Hertell. Unfortunately he wasn't a very good at managing it, so he had to sell it again in 1828. At that time Sukow was owned by Karl's older brother Hans Dietrich Wilhelm. (Karl was one of 26 Children !)

Ingolf Vogel

My ancestors were shepherds on the estate of a Herr von Blücher in the Poggelow-Sukow-Teterow are during the first part of the 19th century. I believe they were members of the Lutheran church. Does anyone know which Blücher this might have been?

Check it out. My grandfather, his brother,
and his brother's son are the last remaining
Blutchers of this line as my grandfather has
only 2 girls, his brother has only one son,
and his brother's son has only 2 girls and
they are nearly grown now (most of us are
nearly or just beyond 30 but they are not yet
20).
