Re: Borer in Switzerland

SMFarabaugh — 2012-03-12 11:55:55Z

Hello Albert,
Well, interesting about your Borer line. We may tie in somehow. My maiden name is Borer. My grgr grandfather is Remegius Borer b. 30 Oct 1833, his brother Henry Borer b. 28 Oct 1828, sister Rosa Borer b. 7 Aug 1837 and bro Urs Joseph Borer b. 14 May 1831. So far. Parents were Johan Borer b. abt 1797 Grindel and mother Anna Maria Sauer/Saner b. abt 1797 Kleinlutzel.
Also, my Remigius named a son Albert, as did his son, as did my father. (I have a brother Albert Borer/Bohrer).
Interesting what you said about Black Boys Country because my grgrhrandfather, whom I have a photo has very dark features. Not that it means for sure, but your story makes some sense. How could I find a birth record for my Henry and Remi? I don't know where to write, or if you know anyone who can obtain one for me that i can pay?

Sorry, the Henry Borer (Great-Grandfather) I'm related to is from Ohio. I don't think he ever left and was to old to serve in WW I.

Re: JOHN H. BORER

SMFarabaugh — 2012-01-14 22:41:20Z

name fits but not location. I grew up in the country so my guess is that the deer legs could have been used as part of a decoy stand, maybe makeshift a body to lead on etc.

Re: Borer photos found! Know any -

SMFarabaugh — 2012-01-14 22:39:18Z

Ditto on all you said. My Henry had no known ties to Canada. He was born in Switzerland in 1828. If the knife is earlier than 1878 which is when he passed..no chance. He was a carpenter /painter. His son was John Henry Borer. Also my Borer, Bohrer stayed in OHIO. Mine all tie to Switzerland, Germany, OHIO.

Do you know if you are related to a Henry Borer who was born in England and lived in Canada?

I found a very old handmade butcher's knife in a house I was cleaning out the other day in Guelph, Ontario and it has the name "HENRY BORER" stamped into the side of the blade. I'm looking for any information on whose it might have been and the only Henry Borer I have located close to where I live is a Sgt. Harry Henry Borer who fought in WWI in the 58th Canadian Regiment. He apparently enlisted in Toronto, Ontario.

Here is the webpage with the info I've found on him... http://canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.as...

I found it with some random hunting things - a fox pelt, and 4 stuffed deer legs (no deer, just the legs so I have no idea what that would be for)

1_n_bellamy — 2012-01-14 20:09:24Z

Do you know if your Henry fought in WWI? Did he ever live in Canada? What country was he born in? I'm looking for information right now... If I find anything solid linking this knife to you then I'll let you know. I could also send you pictures of it if you wish?

Until I find some more info, I think I'm going to keep it because it's very cool and I collect blades so this would be right at home in my collection until I'm sure of who this belongs to.

SMFarabaugh — 2012-01-14 06:44:54Z

Wow..how neat! Well, there is always that chance. If you know of any ties to OHIO, with that person living in the apartment. that is definatley how Henry spelled his last name. if you email me suzif@verizon.net I can send our address. If you want to mail it let me know what you want for it first..

Re: Borer photos found! Know any -

1_n_bellamy — 2012-01-14 04:10:52Z

I was cleaning out an apartment yesterday in Grimsby, Ontario and found a large butcher's knife with the name "HENRY BORER" imprinted into it. It looks to be quite an old knife, is there a chance this could be the same Henry Borer?

BORER, BOHRER in CIVIL WAR ROSTER OHIO

SMFarabaugh — 2011-04-07 20:27:07Z

I need help badly. About 8 years ago Mercer Co Gen Society published their newsletter in it stating that my GRGRGRandfather served in the militia of Civil Way. I do believe that to be true and they posted his name. However..there was never any other reference given and later..the record was "not found" so...I desperately need someone who has skills in the Civil war rostering area...to see if they CAN find him..His name is Remigus Bohrer/Borer. He lived in the MERCER County at the time, around Granville. Also on the liste was his brother in law, William Leifeld. Anyone????

Jacob bohyer as in 1863-1951, son of John and Elizabeth? His brother David is my ancestor!

Re: Borer/Bohrer/Bohyer of Lima or Van Wert, OH

kimaccord — 2010-11-18 20:33:17Z

YEP! Ok, my mom was Florence Bohyer, d/o Leroy Bohyer, s/o David Bohyer, s/o John & Elizabeth Bohyer. Well, that's how we've been spelling it! John was born in 1809 in Prussia? They had Caroline in 1941 in Holmes County. David was born in Van Wert County, as was my mother. I have nothing before John...do you? (Maybe I should search Bohrer! I knew it had to be something, I've seen all kinds of spellings variations)

Frank Borer photo

SMFarabaugh — 2010-11-04 20:00:35Z

Hello-I have a photo of a man named Frank Borer. He is in a photo with his wife Emma and three children. He looks SOOO much like my grgrgrandfather Remegius Borer, they could pass as twins. I am almost certain that they are brothers as well, because the photo was passed on to me, from a group that contained a photo that is 100% Remi's brother Henry and his wife Sabina Borer. So..I now believe this Frank Borer IS in fact a brother to Henry and Remigius Borer. I need help proving this though. Does anyone know of this Frank Borer and wife Emma? Photo taken likely between 1850-1890

It is the NY Passenger list of 1820-1957. They would have arrived between 1834-1853. Thank you.

Re: Borer in Switzerland

alvabebo — 2009-02-20 21:16:49Z

Hello,
I am a Borer from Albert Borer, son of sen. Albert Borer Kleinluetzel. My birth certificate 2 years ago though came from the "Zivilstandsamt" in Olten. That is the place where all papers are now. Indeed it is called the "black-boys-country" because ages ago a tribe or group of people came to settle at the french border. They say that they came from Marocco over to Spain and from there to France because of the inquisition in Spain. After they had settled down there, the following generations were quite dark tanned at the other side of the border and not looking swiss. Indeed the name is written Borer, not Bohrer.

Good luck!

Re: Jerry Borer

2006-05-16 21:38:16Z

Good Afternoon Susan!

This is probably one of the most random emails I've ever written but I believe we may be related! I was searching google for some information on my cousin Jeffrey Borer and found a link to Ancestry.co.uk where you posted a message looking for Jerry Borer.

This may get confusing but I'll try to explain the best I can!

My dad is Steve Frank, who is the son of Roz Adler & David Frank. My Grandmother Roz was Viola (Adler) Borer's sister and they all lived in Cincinnati, OH. My dad Steve and Jeffrey Borer are first cousins. I believe Jerry Borer was the owner of a successful business in Cincinnati called King Tire where my grandfather and other siblings worked.

Roz and Viola were 2 of several children of Minnnie Waxman and Louis Adler. As far as I know, there were 4 or 5 children - Roz, Viola, Mervin, Suds and one more whose name is escaping me. I believe it was another sister who married a Drazen from Binghamton, NY.

Is there any specific information I can help you with?

I am 31 years old and currently living in Chicago. My dad is an only child and both of his parents are deceased. The family tree on that side is much bigger than my moms side and somewhat confusing but I can always call and ask him for any information you may be looking for.

I hope this finds you doing well and look forward to hearing back from you!!

Regards,
Emily Frank
