Hi Taffy,

Thanks for the pic. His face doesn't remind me of any of my family but then I don't have too many old photographs for comparison. Most of my Esse family came from England to Australia and I know some whent to America but can't actually verify that at the moment.

Thank so much for the pic, I will keep it in case I come across one that has similaries.

Best regards,
Di

I will do that. The picture is from Massachusetts....I got it from a Goodwill auction ( which is a charitable auction site for disabled). I only wanted the frame. Then I turned it over and it had this name on it.....I am off to work so will do it when I return.

Hi Dancingboots,

I have only just found your message having never been on this board before.
Is it possible for you to email and pic of the photo as I am researching the ESSE surname.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Found photo

Boots1950 — 2007-06-10 13:36:26Z

I bought a picture frame from online Goodwill. In it is a wonderful old photo of a man who kind of looks like Grover Cleveland. There is a name J. Esse on the back with a Massachusetts address. I think this is the person who ordered the photo rather than the person in the photo but I am just guessing. It is a large photo. If I could locate a family member I would gladly return the photo. It is black and white and almost looks like it could have been a sketch. The glass was very soiled so I am thinking maybe it was part ofan estate and came from the attic.

I have Mathea ANRNESEN. She was born in Arendal, Norway. She and her only brother were raised by their father after their mother died at a young age. She immigrated to Michigan in 1880. Her husband's name was PETERSON. Any connection?

Brenda - My Thanks for your reply. I was in Sweden in 1999, and touched my Grandmother's grave stone. What a shame that so much information was lost because records were so limited when it came to maiden names.
Stay well/Stay on the hunt.

Re: George Fredrick Wilhelm Esse

sascar — 2004-11-06 12:06:38Z

I am trying to find the ESSE family which is my mainden name.
My earliest ancestor that I have found is named Frederick Esse and he married a Catherine Burer/Purer in England in 1901.
Would like to hear from you regarding the German family.
Thanks,
Di

Re: George Fredrick Wilhelm Esse

sascar — 2004-11-06 12:06:38Z

Thank you for your reply. Robert Esse unfortunately is not related. I approached him three years ago.
I have been told that my family could have come from Germany/France/UK - the UK has lots of Esse ancestors of mine.
I have a lot of Frederick and Adolphus names in my family.
Should you wish to swap/check any information, please contact me.

Regards,
Dianne

Setona/Susan Esse Hatleberg is found in Brooklyn, NY, 1920

robesse — 2002-06-12 09:25:07Z

Setona has always been a family mystery. The family story was that after her husband Simon/Sam Hatleberg died [Minneapolis, 1890] she was going to leave MN behind and head to the culture offered in NY city. I guess the story is true.

Found her listed in the 1920 census as Setona? Hattlebury?? She was living with her daughter Blanche, son-in-law George and grandson George, jr. But I cannot figure out what George's last name is because the writing is difficult to read.

Tried dozens of combos in search engines without success. Looks like it is "Boomere" but that must not be correct. Always one more mystery to solve. Would appreciate it if a reader would take a stab at trying to decipher it.

Would love to find an obituary for Setona next. She died before her brother Chris Esse did in October of 1929.

Re: Esse/Lorentz mystery

PFlettrich — 2002-02-15 07:07:22Z

I am a descendant of Henry Xavier Lorentz and Julia Panquerne. I have just started to trace the Lorentz/Panquerne line, so I don't have too much information. Henrietta Lorentz Caldwell's obit stated her father's name was Henry Xavier Lorentz and that Henrietta in interred in the Masonic cemetery in New Orleans. I'm not sure if the following information is correct but I believe Julia Panquerne's father was Urbin/Urbain Panquerne. Urbin's parents were Pierre Panquerne and Marie Picoux. Please email me if you would like to share information. peg3712@bellsouth.net
Thank you!
Peggy

I was glad to hear from you. I sent email to your email address, but it was returned. I would like to share info with you, too. Please email me at peg3712@bellsouth.net. I believe we have the same gg and ggggrandparents. Do you know if Urbain Panquerne's parent's names were Marie Picou and Pierre Panquerne? Hope to hear from you again.

Thanks,
Peggy

Esse Family in Indiana

LMorris6761 — 2001-10-10 15:21:53Z

My grandfather, Enoch Morris, married Elizabeth Porter in Jennings County, IN, in 1857. On 12 Mar 1858, they had a daughter, Alice, who married Eugene Esse on 2 May 1874. They had two children, Maud E (b ?) and Merritt (b 1881). Any information about this family grouping would be most welcome!

I didn't find anything on the "Buffalo branch" of the Esse family. I'll appreciate any help or direction you can give me, Rob. Thanks!

Esse Family in Indiana and Kansas

LMorris6761 — 2001-10-10 15:21:53Z

A bit of a breakthrough has given me a few more details about the Esse family I've been researching. George W Esse was included in the 1859, 1860 and 1870 censuses of Allen CO, KS, living in Geneva Twp. He was the father of Eugene Clinton Esse, coming to KS with his parents in 1857 and settling at Geneva. He remained there with the exception of one year in IN and 2 years in Eldorado Springs, MO. He married Alice D Morris on 2 May 1874 and they had three children, Maude b 15 Aug 1876, Merritt and a child who died in infancy. Eugene had a sister who married E R Mabie. Maude married Aldo Funston on 7 Jun 1899 and lived in Parsons, Labette Co, KS at the time of her death on 27 May 1966. Merritt reportedly lived in CA at the time of his death (date unknown). I have more info about the Funstons, but that is another story!

janetlorentz — 2001-09-21 03:37:03Z

Peggy,

I am pleased to hear from you. I know it will take more than just me to find some answers. According to some sources Henry's name as a child was Xavier Essex and he was legally adopted by William Lorentz who was from Mississippi. I can find no evidence of this. But I do have copies of birth, and marriage certificates. My E-Mail address is clifflorents@hotmail.com. I am looking forward to hearing from you as I have information on the Panquerne family as well.

Janet
