Sorry for the long delay in the response I don't get on here as often as I used too. Yes all the names you mentioned are members of my family Duane Dale was my father.

Hello. You mentioned you have additional information on Philadelphia Dreyer's.

I'd be interested in learning more.

My great grandfather was Charles Dreyer. He was German, born in Phalsbourg, which is on the German/French border. He emigrated to Philadelphia in the early 1900s and settled there.

None of the first names you mentioned in your post are names I know, but we might have a connection otherwise. Dreyer is not a commonly known name, and both your side and my side having lived in Philadelphia, and having German/French similarity, is interesting.

Appreciate if you reply via post here (I will get an alert), or directly to: selphie06@yahoo.com

My father and grandfathers were Dreyer also, both born and raised in Philadelphia.

Y-DNA Dreger (Dreyer) Project

daynadreger — 2012-02-24 04:18:32Z

Hello everyone,
I am the group administrator for the recently approved "Dreger Project" (a derivation of Dreyer) through www.familytreedna.com. For anyone unfamiliar with the larger project goals, Family Tree DNA offers Y-DNA genotyping and comparisons for genetic genealogical studies. Male individuals can have their DNA test results included in surname projects for comparison and determination of surname lineages. I have applied to have the Dreger Project accepted by the Family Tree DNA program and have recently received approval. What this means is that we can begin tracing our Dreger origins, comparing where we fit in with the grand scheme of human evolution, determining branch points for different Dreger lineages, and even following Dreger migration around the world! For you as an individual, this may assist you in confirming your suspected genealogical relationships derived through the production of family trees, or may help suggest new directions to go in when searching for common ancestors. It may also suggest your family's place in the Dreger ancestry. Participation will allow us to characterize the greater Dreger family and all of the associated derivatives. For more information on the Family Tree DNA project, follow this link ... http://www.familytreedna.com/
For information specifically on the Dreger Project, follow this link ... http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Dreger/default.aspx

Testing does involve a one-time payment to cover genotyping, but if you sign up through the Dreger Project link (above) you can receive a discounted price.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions!

Re: DREYER Carl Leopold 1809-1900 DENMARK

macbla — 2012-01-20 00:20:37Z

could help me find the death of Carl Leopold Dreyer. I believe the information might be found in the Kiel Archives, but I really have no idea how the system works in Germany. He might have lived in or near Meldorf.

CL Dreyer's father was Marcus Stephan Gabriel Dreyer, born nov 21, 1789 in Groß Koenigsförde, Schleswig, Denmark. (according to Eckernforde records). He married Margaretha Catharina Feldmann and had CL in Hohenholm, Schleswig, Denmark, Oct 23, 1809. Source:
Transcription of the church registers of the church of Sehestedt (Hohenholm/Hohenlieth belong to this church) by „Heimatgemeinschaft Eckernförde, Carlshoehe 44, D- 24340 Eckernfoerde
Could someone please see if you can find them(Marcus, wife and son) anywhere, like maybe the 1835 census?

Re: Dreyer family originating from Bremmen/Hannover area

TiffanyPerrigo — 2011-11-16 02:10:29Z

All the Dreyer's in my family either stayed in Germany or moved here to the US in the late 20's early 30's. Adolf, Friedrich, and Erna. None of them lived outside of Philadelphia though. Mainly I'm looking for stories others might have to help me know my family better.

Tiffany, if you could list names, dates, and locations of your Dreyers here, it would help us to locate in our trees.

I've been doing research for almost 3 years now and I've only gotten back as far as my great, great, great grandfather but I'm not for sure I'm right because my family tree is very hard to read. If anyone has any info they would like to share or wants to ask me in the info I do have please message me on here or my personal email tperrigo0522@gmail.com

Re: Dreyer/Gansberg in Nevada/California

jmpdalvarez — 2011-11-14 03:10:15Z

Thanks. I'm just having trouble figuring out which Fritz/Freidrich and Henry/Heinrich and such go together. Crazy how everyone got three or four Christian names and then they still used nicknames! I have limited records from the German church, but it didn't include all the siblings. I know for certain that they are all related, but who belongs with which parent is what is troubling. A cousin in Texas has also been trying to unravel this mystery. I guess a trip to the Carson City area is in order, as well as contacting the church in Germany!

Re: Dreyer/Gansberg in Nevada/California

There are quite a few Dreyers in TX. Search the Dreyer boards for Texas.

Hi Alan,
No word from you. I appreciate that maybe you do not want to give me your "family tree" But I am feeling a little anxious now - maybe there is no Alan in Middlesex - maybe I am being scammed by Nigerians. How much information have I given out? Too much? A bit late and I suppose there is no way I will know now. We live in a bad world - who do we trust?

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

alandsabey — 2011-09-21 16:06:39Z

Dear Jane,
I never put my tree directly onto the internet. I can send you a narrative report if you like but would ask you to comply with my wishes and not put the information on any Ancestry website.
Alan

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

cozycatz — 2011-09-21 15:57:27Z

Hi Alan,
I dont have accurate birth dates for Fred or Violet. Her gravestone says 1890. Fred died in Nov 1936 and he was aged 48 so presume he was born in 1888. The first Dreyer came to South Africa in 1713 under the name Isaac Dalgue ( Johannes Augustus Dreyer). Are you putting the family tree onto one of the ancestry sites? I would love to have a look.
Regards
Jane

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

alandsabey — 2011-09-16 17:50:06Z

No, we just share the date for birthdays. I was born in 1942.
It was good to expand the tree a bit more.
Thanks,
Alan

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

cozycatz — 2011-09-16 17:03:16Z

Hi,
Are you the same age as Robyn ie 22? Fred was born in Claremont, Cape Town - went to school at Diocesan College (Bishops) a private school. He studied at Stellenbosch University and then did his MD at Edinburgh University ( opthalmic surgeon). Will work on getting dates for you. Violet/Pop was a wonderful, strong, feisty woman. She had a wonderful laugh. She had a hard life but was always smiling. Good genes.
Frances is teaching in Kent at the moment. She is on Facebook.
Jane

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

alandsabey — 2011-09-16 15:28:26Z

Dear Jane,
Thank you so much for all the information. I noticed Philip's Robyn has the same birthday as mine.
Just a couple of questions:-
I presume Frederick Bernardus Dreyer was born in South Africa, do you have a birth date for him. Likewise for Violet who I know was born at Duxford, Cambridge but moved to Pirbright. I know Violet was born around 1891.

Violets ancestry links with that of my gt gt grandmother whose name was Ann Longden. The Longdens are a large family in Lincolnshire.

Best regards,
Alan

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

cozycatz — 2011-09-16 12:07:12Z

Hi Alan.....here goes.. a lot of information. This is as accurate as I can get.

Frederick = Died 17 November 1936 aged 48
Violet (Poppy or Pop) DOB 1890 Died 1977 (My Dad said she passed 10/1/76 but her gravestone says 1977.
They came to South Africa in 1917 on the Walmer Castle.
Fred divorced Violet in 1934 and then married Louise Pentz ( no children) He then died in 1936 - a year before his father.
Fred and Violet had 2 children:

2)Ann Rosemary Dreyer 26/2/1924-11/4/1933
- died aged 9 yrs leukemia

Peter Frederick Dreyer married Mavis Athelie Brodie in 1950 -DOB 15/11/1923 - 7/10/2004
They had 3 children:
1)Philip Frederick Dreyer DOB 22/2/1952
2)Jane Mary Dreyer DOB 31/10/1954 (me)
3)John Peter Dreyer DOB 21/7/1956

Philip married Johanna Engelina de Kroon and have 2 children

PS The first Dreyer arrived in South Africa in 1713 under the name Isaac Dalgue - a political refugee.

Kind regards,
Jane

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

Yes I live in Middlesex near Heathrow. This all connects with my great grandmother's Lincolnshire ancestors.

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

Sure. Where do you live - am presuming in the UK ? I know that Violet came from Pirbright.

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

cozycatz — 2011-09-12 07:35:53Z

Dear Alan,
I have a huge amount of information including old photon albums - photos of Violets Mom and Dad and even her Paternal grandmother! Violet was known as Poppy or Pop - her Dad called her that as a liitle girl because she had such pink cheeks. Violet had 2 children -my father Peter Frederick and a daughter Ann Rosemary who died at the age of nine of leukemia. Ann Rosemary was her first name ie she was not called Ann. Fred was an opthalmic surgeon who died at the age of 48. He and Violet divorced and he remarried Louis Pentz - they had no children. I will get all the dates of birth and death together for you. Interesting stuff.
Jane

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

alandsabey — 2011-09-11 16:44:58Z

Dear Jane,
Thank you for replying. Would you please send me dates of birth and death and where for your grandparents Frederick and Violet. Similarly for your father and mother and their children etc. I am connected to Violet's side. Did Violet only have one child?
Many thanks,
Alan

Re: Frederick and Violet Ethel Dreyer (nee Ball)

Sorry that we haven't responded but just checked this site recently. We have recently become aware of some pictures of your mother, Louise, with her father and stepmother, Ella. One was at her wedding. She was obviously an important part of Charles Dreyer's life and I'm sure she was a wonderful person. Do you have any brothers/sisters? Was Ruth Louise's sister and is she still living?

Believed to have gone to South Africa about 1916, also one son Peter Frederick Dreyer, born there?, 1918.
If you recognise these names please contact me as I have some gaps to complete on my tree.

strasburg99 — 2010-12-10 17:36:22Z

Hi! Thank you so much for your response and information about you and your family! My direct email is bethanygreg@frontier.com -- I'd really appreciate any other information you have. I got involved in our family's genealogy after my dad died in 2006. We knew his side was from Germany, but didn't know where, when they'd immigrated, etc. I keep in touch with my dad's cousin who remembers your mom giving her fancy dresses in NY in the 40s, but that's about all we knew. Her mom's name was Louise as well. :)

I discovered my German Great-Grandfather was Friedrich Strassburg (my dad's name was Frederick Strasburg). His sister, Marie Strassburg immigrated to NYC a few years before he did in the 1880s, and changed her name to Mary Strasburg. Mary had three children, Charles Dreyer, Mary Dreyer and Frank Schaal. Your Grandfather, Charles Dreyer, had his dad die when he was 2, and his mom died when he was about 14 years old. Charles was apparently married 4x, and Adele was his 1st wife.

I've had so much fun with this, because I love history and finding out more about my ancestors, even ones we didn't know about! I put together some information, hard copy, for my aunt (my dad's sister Mary Louise) who is in her 80s, and my dad's cousin who is also in her 80s, for Christmas a couple of years ago -- it was wonderful to share that info. with them!

I found that your mom died in California, but I really don't know much about her life including that you existed! although I'd always wondered if she had kids. If you would like to, feel free to email me -- I'm sure my aunts would love having this info. after all of this time!!

My dad moved from the East Coast to Berkeley, CA in the early 1960s, and I'm still on the West Coast. Thank you again, and if you'd like to write to me directly that would be great!

Bethany

Re: Charles F. Dreyer with wives Adele and Mary L.

Gottlieb Dreyer is listed on the passenger list at Port of Baltimore entry in 1832, with his family, entering the US from Germany, in the 30 Sept 1832 Quarterly Report of Baltimore, Maryland. Son, Frederick Dryer, changed the spelling, had moved on to Warren County, Ohio and settled in Missouri. The other children of Gottieb, Louisa, and Charlott, have not been traced but Ernest and Henry are listed in the City of Baltimore 1860 census.

Hi Dennis,
I found your note just recently while browsing for Dreyers. My husband is related to Louise Schilly Wolf. I have been tracking down the descendants of the Schilly family and have been looking for Louise Wolf & Lucien Dreyer. I'm curious as to why they went to Indiana, and what happened to them and their family.
It's been a long time since your first note. I hope you get this message.

Re: Indiana Dreyers

maridavid — 2010-07-22 05:14:41Z

Hello Steve,
My husband is related to Lucien Dreyer, Sr.'s wife, Louise Wolf(1891-1943), through the Schillys from St. Louis. I have names and birth dates of their family up to about 1951, but no further data. Mainly I'm looking for marriage & death dates. Are you Steven Joseph, son of Robert?
If you are interested in any info on the Wolfs and Schillys, I would be happy to share.

My name is Helene Dreyer Bladek, daughter of Charles Stuart Dreyer son of Charles Fredrick Dreyer and Helene Stuart Dreyer. My father's sisters names were Billie(Larsen) and Jackie(Mauck). I have been searching for my relatives for a long time and had found this posting naming some of them. My father, deceased(May 1992 of Lung Cancer) would tell us stories when we were small about his family. I know he loved his sisters very much and was deeply affected by the early death of his mother (Helene) when he was only 9yrs old.
It would be wonderful to finally connect the photos that I have without names to a part of my father's family that I have never met and only know little information about.

Please reply to this posting or email me with any information.
