Hi, Arthur;
I am very confused on this Egeler family. Which one of John and Margarets children married Clara Rofina Alpers?
Their son Ernest Egeler married Elizabeth Pearl Hohnke from my family tree. Also, my sister-in-laws g-grandmother was an Egeler, Anna Catherine or Catherine Anna. Her parents were, IF I have it correct, John F. Egeler born in Illinois and Louisa Wilhelmina Bockstahler born in New York.
If anyone on this board can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Dieter,

I would like to know more about my Egeler family. I don't have much information to go on, but I do know that my Egeler's listed Baden-Wuerttemburg as their place of origin. Is Steven still in the Boise area? Does he have a copy of the family tree or could you send this information to him? I would also like to know about Nebringen itself. Please let me know if you are interested in establishing some contact.

Hello I have some Egeler's in my tree from the traverse area. But that are all from around 1900 or older. That came from Germany in the early to mid 1800's. If you know of any names from that far back i would be intrested in seeing if they are in my tree. My last name is Egler and I have found that in some of the lines it has changed to and then from Egeler.

My grandmother by marriage is 93 and in a nursing home. We were talking and she gave me her family to research. Her mothers name was Mary Gass born June 8, 1888. She married Fred Egeler who was born Aug 1 1877. They had three children their oldest daughter Helen was born April 1, 1907. This is who gave me this info on Friday. So let me know what you want me to ask her about her father's family and hopefully I can help you out.

LynnEdwardGill — 2005-07-16 11:00:02Z

My grandmother is an Egeler. Her grandfather emigrated from Wurttemberg, Germany-- evidently a source of Egeler ancestors. This is in the south of Germany, Baden-Wurttemberg. Also where the Black Forest is located, source of the famous gnomes!

Jeff

Re: Egeler's in MI

hbeckh — 2005-07-16 10:42:30Z

Hi Jeff,
BINGO!
Augusta was may Aunt Gussie. Her son was Clarence who I also knew. The last time I saw Clarence was when he lived in Arizona. I used to play with his son, Lenny (sp?) on Lakewood Ave in Detroit when I was young.
If you want, I can send you a file with what I have and maybe you can fill me in on some that you have.
Would a GEDCOM format be good for you?

regards,
Bob

Re: Egeler's in MI

2005-07-16 10:41:57Z

You are the first I have be able to find with information that may be what I am looking for.

I am trying to find information on my fathers line.

His GreatGrandmother was:
Augusta Paulina Albertina Egeler
b: 29 May 1889 in Saginaw, Mi.

Her father was Jacob Egeler
and mother was Clara Fox

They were born around 1860 and were married about 1888.
It is believed that they died between 1900-1920.

Does this sound like they may be the same individuals?

Let me know?

Thanks,

Jeff Collins

There was a big family clan of Egeler's in the Sutton's Bay/Traverse City area in the 30's-50's. Grandfather Charles came over in the 30's. Three sons Olaf, Loren John and 'Cap' (don't remember his real name, or grandmother Egeler's.

Yep! that's the one! I know the smallest smidgin of infor on this family line. You are right saying that this line is so hard to trace, email me and we can compare notes.

Did your John Egeler marry Dorothea "Dora" Hiller? If so, Dora's sister Christina is my g-grandmother. Christina married Christian Weimer.
Tracing my grandmothers family line has not been easy as very little info was passed down. Am willing to share any information.

Egeler's from Wuerttemburg>Michigan

LynnEdwardGill — 2005-07-16 10:30:57Z

All I have seen is the Michigan census records of 1870 for 3 families listed as originating from Wuerttemburg. The sons are listed as born in NY in the census about 1850. A local history of Leelanau Twp. Leelanau County has them going from NY to Wisconsin before arriving in Michigan. I also have a deathe record for Catherine, a widow who was head of one of the 3 families. Odds are your Egeler's are also from Wuerttemburg. I was there for a visit about a month ago (Heidelberg, Bad Wimpfen, Schwabish Hall)and a German acquaintance said that name is typical of that region. It is a beautiful, rolling agricultural area with hills covered by trees (similar to N. Michigan!). I don't yet know exactly where in Wuerttemburg my Egeler gggrandfather came from, or how they came to America.
If you have census information for this family in NY or Wisconsin, I'd appreciate it (1860 and 1850).
I have a short history of what was going on in the early 1800's. There was no Germany. Wuerttemburg was a kingdom. After Napolean, the area was in turmoil. Glad to send you what I have!

My grandfather (4x) was from W. Germ. in 1872, I have a copy of the manifest. He and his brother(Jacob) went to MT by 1883. You are the first person I have ever seen post anything on Egelers from W. Ger. Do you have any family history of them in Germ? My John (Johann) has a son Eugene who marries a Heyer born in Foxlake WI. Married 1906 in MT. Jacob dies from a farming accident early leaving a widow named Rose, with a family. I had seen your John in some census reports while trying to find mine. Do you have anything that might help me??? My Grandmother was Louise Edith Egeler. Daughter of Eugene and Ella. This is so early in MT history they are very difficult to find. I want to find the family roots in Germany.

Egelers Wurttemberg, Germany to MI

LynnEdwardGill — 2005-07-16 10:26:40Z

John and Margaret Egeler emigrated from Wurttemberg Germany before 1850. Children Phillip and John are born in NY 1850 and 1852, and Polly (Pauline?)perhaps in Wisconsin. They arrive in Leelanau County, Michigan before 1870. The 1870 Michigan census has John as 71 and Margaret as 64. There are two other Egeler families listed, Charles age 37 and Catherine age 51, evidently a widow. All are from Wurttemberg.
If anyone has run across this family, please contact me. My grandmother is Anna Pauline Egeler, daughter of Phillip.

So far I have found John on the Deutschland bound from Bremen arrived 13 May 1872. So I missed the 1870 census, and I know that he is in Montana by 1890. He naturalized in 1877, but the records are no where to be found, index listing only. Dorothea (Hiller) gets here by the Oder 1 Nov. 1875. Records show children born in 1877 in Montana. So here is the problem,1. I can't find where or when they married. 2. Did they stay with ?family? in MI. 3. were they really into Montana by 1877? And the biggie, I have nothing on either one before passage to America other than listing Wuert as birthplace on census and nat. forms. Any ideas? !? thanks much.

Re: Eglers in Michigan 1870 Census

nancyrhine1 — 2003-08-01 05:15:22Z

My ancestors were Mathias and Catherine Keller. They were the parents of Theresa Keller who married Jacob Schwarz. Theresa and Jacob's daughter Blanche was my grandmother. Mathias and Catherine lived mainly in Centerville. Jacob and Theresa were from Leland and Jacob built Schwarz Hall which burned down and also the Riverside Inn which my grandmother ran for many years with her sister Anna Schwarz.

Is this the same Catherine who you are saying is related to the Eglers??

John Christopher Egeler

bslovinsb — 2003-04-23 06:40:21Z

John Christopher Egeler was born in 1832 in Wurttemburg and married Amelia ? from Bavaria. They show up in the 1880 census of Marshall, Calhoun County, Michigan census with six kids all born in Wurtemburg; Carrie J., b. 1859; John C., b. 1862; Charles Henry, b. 1864; Ida L b. 1867 and Frederick Wilhelm b. 1870. Emily Egeler is in there somewhere. She and her sisters both married Kahlers from Wurttemburg. John C. Egeler moved to Bay City later on and the families lost track of each other. Anybody working on this line????

Re: Eglers in Michigan 1870 Census

2001-08-26 18:42:36Z

Update:
I have learned how these Egeler's are related to John Egeler, Sr.:
Catherine Egeler is the widow of John Egeler, Jr. who was killed in the battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in the Civil War.
Charles is another son of John, Sr.

Daughter Catherine is nearby, married to Mathias Keller.
Daughter Pauline is nearby, married to Nicholas "Claus" Warner
They all are from Nebringen, Wuerttemberg (present Gaufelden, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany)

In the 1850 and 1860 census, they are identified as Egler.
