Re: DeMar, DeMarr

I've traced my husband's paternal family, Deemer, back to Etienne de Mar. John Frederick Deemer (de Mar) had migrated to PA or Maryland (I can't find him in immigration yet) from Alsace-Lorraine and married Lydia Eberhart in Lancaster, Lancaster Co., PA in 1784.

I have Etienne's lineage to Louis de Mar 1685 but since this family was involved somehow with the Hugenots of France, they beat a hasty retreat to Switzerland, I think, or was it Germany?

Do you have anything on any of these? My tree for this family is King, Deemer, Burkett and is a public tree if you want to check out what I have yet.

DeMar, Charles

My great-great-grandfather was Charles DeMar born in the 1870's in Italy. I was told when he came over around 1896, he changed his name to DeMar but my family is still sort of unsure of what his name was in Italy. He lived on Long Island. If anyone has any information or even an educated guess on what his last name was I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry for typo-not 1020 census but 1920 thanks again!

Any assistance appreciated

jlling1 — 2006-10-02 18:03:52Z

I have been trying to locate ancesters. My search is halted because of the lack of 1890 census. I know several facts because of birth certificate June 1900. Trying to find out any information on a Theresa/Teresa DeMar (b. 1880-1882 ) PA . She was the wife of George Trevelina Risso. Found Theresa Risso under the name Theresa" Risse "in 1900 census (Philadelphia). She was my g-grandmother. The only information I have is that she lived with the Arata family in 1922 with her 3 children and there names are listed as "Rissell" not Risso. According to the 1900 census she is listed as 20 yrs old. In the 1020 census she is listed as 38 so there is a 2 yr. discrepancy. On the birth certificate of my grandfather his parents are listed as George Trevelina and Theresa Risso. If anyone has any information or leads on discovering the tale/trail of these Philly "fruit vendors" PLEASE reply. I have birth certificate 1900 I have WW1 registration with these names as parents.
Thank you!

Lisa
My database is huge since my mother was a DeMarr. The name is French and our immigrant ancestor arrived in Maryland in the early 1600s. My database includes some of the families that departed from Md. for other states. If you will email me with some specific names and states, I will be happy to see if I can help you.

bezahn (greetings),
i am a shawnee indian. i am trying to find my white ancestors in france and germany. my de mar family originated in france, then moved to germany (they were huegenots) and changed their name to deemer or deamer. they were here for the french and indian war. therefore, they must have arrived in america prior to 1754. my 5x great grandfather fought my shawnee ancestors in that war. he also served in the american revolution. again, he would have been fighting my native american ancestors. do you trace the de mars to france? any help would be appreciated. my 5x great grandfather is frederick deemer (de mar), born in germany.

Re: DeMar

2002-07-30 02:50:25Z

hi,
my DeMar originated in france. when he went to germany he changed it to deemer or deamer. they were huegenots that were run out of catholic france.
my white 4x great-grandfather is john frederick deemer married to lydia eberhart. don't know when he came to america. he was here to fight my shawnee people in the french and indian war in 1754-1763. he also fought in the american revolution. he lived in lancastertown, pa.
most of the immigrants from germany went to holland, then to england, where they boarded boats for america. england couldn't handle the number of refugees at the time. some were living in public parks. this time period was about 1690 through about 1730. they were called the palatine germans. most settled in new england and penna. germans generally got along with indians. we didn't attack their settlements. we reserved our hostility towards the english who were stealing our land wholesale. my 4x great grandfather must have settled in western, pa. where the fighting between whites and indians was particularly bloody.

Hi Julie!
I already have the Whitenight info. Ken & I are first cousins and live near each other. Thanks for sharing all you have. However, Ken & I are anxious to find more on Grandpa DeMar. So far, we have hit a brick wall. His death certificate states he was born in Pittsburgh. I contacted vital stats there but they have no record of him.No one in our family knows if he had any siblings,what his parents names were, or where he really came from. My mother found the marriage certificate for Loretta & William DeMar. They were married in Long Island, New York.The death certificate & marriage license is all I have. He seems to be a mystery.

Re: William Edward DeMar

2002-04-26 11:24:59Z

Hi Joyce, The only information I have on your grandfather, I received from Ken DeMar. However, my grandmother, Anna Whitenight Peterson, was Loretta's sister. The seven children were separated after their mother's death and the father left the family. I've spoken with a peer in each family and can go back several generations if you are interested in the Whitenight side. Julia Patrick.
