The kress coat of arms is very neat looking. Email is tcress00@hotmail.
Thanks

Re: Cress Coat of Arms Historiography

rycres — 2012-02-12 22:11:57Z

the descendants from Germany's coat of arms is easy to find. The German Cress'/Kress' come from a line of nobility (Kress Von Kressenstein). It wont let me attach the file so I will need you to give me your email.

Re: Cress Coat of Arms Historiography

Tcress00 — 2012-02-12 17:56:09Z

That would be great. Years ago I received a letter from world book of cresses and they were selling anything with the cress coat of arms ..that they say was the coat of arms anyway. But it was a knights head on top of a shield; inside the shield were three crescent moons angled down to right.I looked on line and the kress from germany was different than cress from France . My descendants are from germany. They migrated from the east to Iowa. I have a lot of paperwork of land that my family owned land in Parma center new York in the 1790s . Indentured papers Owned by Bush not cress but had married a daughter of bush. I am looking for someone to look them over as my great grandmother had given them to me. Sorry this long but I appreciate it.

I have never seen one if you would like though i can send you a copy of the one i created for myself using illustrator (Im a graphics major) I was just about to get it tattooed and decided to double check the family tree to find im not actually a cress/cress but a cress/kress lol, and im still double checking everything.

Re: Cress Coat of Arms Historiography

Tcress00 — 2012-02-12 06:56:44Z

I would like a copy of the Cress of arms. If there is one out there. I found a coat of arms with three crescent moons but not a color copy. Any copy would be appreciated.

Re: Cress Coat of Arms Historiography

rycres — 2012-02-12 06:32:27Z

I will add that Cress with a C may in fact be from Germany as some German families changed the spelling, An example of this is in my own family in which for the longest time I thought my family came from England but then while researching my family I traced the line back to Tobias Cress in NC who's father was Johann Nicolaus Heinrich Kress from Germany.

Re: Frank Thomas Cress

D:Aug 17 1892 in Chaska,Carver, MN
and Katherine Borngesser born 1849 in Wisconsin

Re: David Cress VA

I have a Noah Franklin Cress/Kress b. abt. 1850 son of David Cress(b. 1809) and Freelove Williams(b. 1809). My Noah married Sarah Ann Parks in 1873. I have the marriage license which lists Noah's parents as David and ___ Cress. I have the 1860 Smyth County, VA census record showing Noah aged 10 living with his parents David and Freelove.
I have a fair amount of info on this family from Noah down if anyone is interested.

Re: Jacob Robert Cress/Minerva Perkins

teresacress1964 — 2011-06-06 21:21:32Z

Hi! My name is Teresa Cress and I am the great grand daughter of Jacob Robert(?). My father was Ancil Cress son of Scott Cress who was the son of Calvin. A few years back I did some research into this also. As far as I was able to tell the children born after Jacob Robert died were born out of wedlock even though Minerva listed them as his children. Which would be impossible since he was already dead. Calvin did not die as an infant, unless she had another son and named him Calvin. Hope this helps! =)

William Drayton Cress

brendamason5259 — 2011-05-14 19:24:36Z

Looking for information on William Drayton Cress. I'm trying to determine if William Cress in 1860 Washington, Texas Census is the same William Cress born to Louis Cress of Richmond County, Georgia. Louis was originally from Philadelphia, PA, but was in Augusta, Georgia by 1835 when he married Louisa D'Antignac.

William is listed as William H in the 1860 Census, but William D. Cress joins the CSA in the same location.

Thanks!

Looking for info on a GLADYS CRESS/KRESS. born poss around late 1860s-1875 in Crawford Co Ohio. She had brother JOHN CRESS/KRESS (my grt grandfather).John married AMELIA HEISER. John's occupation: Cleveland Police.

Gladys apparently married more than once according to census info I have just found. Gladys married a JAMES HUME and looks like daughter RUTH HUME, poss born 19 May 1888, died 1 March 1919 in Cleveland. Ruth married an A. DURR and also someone named JOHN H.COLUMBUS (b 1878 Galion Ohio, married 22 October 1905).

Gladys married 2nd time to Fred W. Schneider b 10 April 1872 Crawford Co Ohio, died 25 July 1941 (location?) They married 8 Aug 1918 in Crawford Co. Ohio Marriages 1800-1858 states both Gladys and Fred were divorced at time of their marriage.

Info on any of these people greatly appreciated. I can supply other info on the Cress side if someone wants it. But as for these other names--very little info to share.

Please contact me at: lakastner@usa.net

Many thanks, Lois Kastner

Hello. I was doing a search on my grand parents names and I noticed that Cecil Cress was on yours. He was my grandfather. Born 1909. Lived in Sault Ste. Marie, ON until he died in I think it was 1985. Married to Margarette O'Neil (Cress). We also have relatives in Garden River. Children to Cecil Cress and Margarette were Linda Gail Sheppard (Cress), Jack Cress, Norman Cress, and Eileen Cress (Deceased). You can find Linda Gail Cress (Goes by Gail) on facebook. That's my mother. She knows all the details on our family tree. She actually has Family Tree Maker on the computer and is working on it all the time so I think you and her would have a lot to talk about.

Re: Cress family

CarolParrish826 — 2010-02-06 02:04:40Z

I am not sure where to get your email address. mine is steveparrish@charter.net. I don't think my dad ever knew why his parents were divorced or why he was not allowed to see his biological father. I do have a picture Penny sent me of Aunt Dora holding my dad as a toddler. He had very blond hair and as an adult his hair was dark almost alburn.I know from the census that my grandmother and William lived on the same block close by one another. Also Wm. was married after my grandmother and before your grandmother. I am glad he finally had a happy family. Email after you talk to your dad. Carol

Re: Cress family

lisarebecca_1 — 2010-02-06 00:03:54Z

Interesting...could you imagine how difficult that must have been for your father? I probably couldn't have gone through with it either. My dad always knew he had a half brother. I don't the family history behind it...why they never knew each other. I'm going to ask him this evening when I see him. Can you get my email address through this website/post?

Re: Cress family

CarolParrish826 — 2010-02-05 23:39:10Z

Penny told be she had a brother named Larry but didn't tell if he had any children. I guess he , your aunt and my dad were half-siblings. I know my dad wanted to see his biological father because he threw all of us kids in the car and drove to San Diego when I was about 7 or 8 . My mom said my dad wanted to see him and I guess talk to him, but he lost his nerve and we went to San Juan Capistrano and the zoo. I would have been nice to have at least to have met him. My dad died in 1972 from kidney disease. I have a youger brother that was born in 1966 so he is close to your age. I was 18 shen he was born. I'm out of space. C

Re: Cress family

lisarebecca_1 — 2010-02-05 23:22:59Z

I'm the daughter of Larry...Penny's brother. I told my dad about this post and he asked me to reply. We thought you might have already received the info from my aunt. My memories of my grandpa are limited, he died in 71 and I was born in 64. You can email me if you'd like.

Re: Cress family

CarolParrish826 — 2010-02-05 22:56:15Z

timli98 — 2009-05-22 18:23:04Z

Hi,

I've been doing some somewhat casual research on my family's history, and having found myself employed at the Annapolis Heritage Society and their wonderful genealogy resources has definitely helped me in that research. If there are any people doing a search on the Cress family from Clementsvale/ Clements township who would be willing to share any information they've been able to find, that would be great.

I'm currently having difficulties going any further back than my great grandfather George Washington (Joe) Cress who married a Lorna Nass. Joe was born in 1891 and died in 1979. If anyone knows anything on his parents or even on the parents of Lorna Nass, that would be great. cheers!
