I'm sorry but I have no other information about Alfred Fabel than I gave in my earlier reply.

My Grandfather was Richard Michael Fabel. He was born in Magdeburg Germany and lived in the N. Bergen area.

Is there a connection?

I was intersted in Albert Fabel.
My grandfather Richard Michael Fabel was from Magdeburg Germany and came to America after his brother Albert left by boat to the U.S. He was never heard from and my grandfather searched for years. Does your Alfred have ties to this area of Germany?
Thank you

My step-uncle Alfred lived, when I knew him as a child (me) in/near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. He was a wheat farmer; apparently, he later lost his fortune in post-retirement speculation. He was married to Mary ...; as far as I know, they did not have any children.

I knew my grandma (Caroline) as Grandma Beltman, not Caroline Fabel. At the time my parents married (see next paragraph), John Fabel was living in International Falls, MN, and apparently working as a fishing guide. According to my mother, he was essentially destitute, and he passed away shortly after 1933. I had always heard that, in Germany and maybe after he came to North America, he was trained and worked as a tailor. (I have a German pattern book of his, passed down from my mother.)

My mother was Marcella Fabel, married to Elmer Broman of Milaca, MN, in 1933. Her sister, Helen, was married to Milo POeterson, and they lived in Roseau, MN. She died sometime before my mother who passed away in 2003(?).

I am one of five Broman children: Robert, Kenneth, Charles, Joan Carrie (named after grandma Caroline), and Victoria.

One of my ancestors was Jacob Fable or Fabel who was born in Bavaria in 1817 and settled in Montgomery, Alabama. Do you have any information on him, or on his wife Mary Ann Eisert?

Working on the Frederick Faebel (Fabel/Febel) family of Northampton County,PA in early 1800's. First record is in Plainfield Reformed Church,Plainfield Twp with George Frederick Faebel and wife Magdalene--children starting with John George (born 1797 and moved to Monroe Cty in 1830's)
Magdalene (b 1790-1800--married Christian Wagner),Frederick (born 1801--moved to Seneca Cty,OH and changed last name to Febles) and Elizabeth.
Have lots of information about this family but no reference back to originating country.

I hope you have better luck then me.

Re: FABEL,FAEBEL,FEBLES

2006-05-25 15:16:41Z

My family of Febles originates in the US about 1800 as FAEBEL--they were Deutsch German from somewhere in Germany--exact location unknown. Some of the family changed the name to FEBLES, most of the family changed it to FABEL and the majority of the family lived in Monroe County, PA to the present time. Am aware of the French/Spanish line of current Febles citizens which seem to have emigrated in the 1900's. Thank you for your response. Good luck in your searches.

Is there a date of death for Louis C. Fable?

Re: Fabel

2006-03-16 01:09:02Z

I do not know if John had any brothers. I know he came from Germany in 1902. by the passanger list it looks like his last residence was Hanover Germany. I hope this helps. I do not know much about this family or him.

Re: Fabel

2006-03-14 22:23:50Z

I am not familiar with John Fabel. My grandfather Richard Fabel came from Magdeburg Germany. He had a brother named Albert, who was lost travelling to America in the early 1900's. If this coincides with any of your searches, please advise.

canderson158 — 2006-03-13 01:01:24Z

I am searching for information on the John Fabel family. John Fabel came from germany in 1902 with his wife Wilhelmina and their son Alfred. By 1910 Wilhelmina and Alfred were in Canada and John had remarried to Carrie Beltmann a widow with 5 children: Dora, Clara, Edwin, Alvina and Carl. JOhn and Carrie had two girls: Helen b. 1910 and Marcella b. 1913. John and Carrie lived in Wadena Village Minnesota. John died and Carrie was a widow still living in Wadena village under the name Beltmann. The only children still at home at this time were Carl, Helen and Marcella.
Any information on this family please contact me

Hi Mona

I know that you are looking for the Fabel name only. Kotze was my grandfather's 3rd name. It is not a double-barrel surname!

Re: reply

2006-01-17 22:06:33Z

Deidre,
i am looking for the Fabel name only. My grandfathers brother was Albert Fabel. They came from Magdeburg Germany. Does yoour tree list these names?
thank you,
Mona

Re: reply

2006-01-16 17:41:54Z

Hi Mona

My grandfather's name was Dirk Jacobus Kotze and my greatgrandfather's name was Ernst, I think!

Hope this will help

Deidre

Re: reply

2006-01-16 05:25:27Z

Deidre,
This could be a connection or maybe not! What was your grandfathers name? And do you know what year he may have come? Was his name Albert? Thank you for your reply.
Mona

Re: Hi There

2006-01-15 17:25:33Z

Hi Mone

I spoke to my mom and she told me that my great-grandfather's dad came to South Africa from Germany. It is very frustrating, because that is about as much as any member of my family knows. I never knew my great-grandfather. I will let you know if I find out anything more.

Deidre

Re: Hi There

2006-01-12 07:53:30Z

Hi Phil

Thank you for responding so quickly. It is very stange that your sister's name is also Deidre!

I know that my great-grandfather lived in South Africa, but I never knew him personally. My Grandparents had 3 children, my uncle ernest, my dad - William Emil and my aunt - Fiona Suzan. My grandfather had 5 brothers, but only 1 of them are still alive. I've never met all my aunts and uncles, which is a bit sad.

I hope that we are from Dutch origan, because I am crazy about Holland.

Take care

Deidre

Re: Hi There

2006-01-10 23:29:01Z

Dear Phillip and Deidre,
I found your inquiry very interesting. My grandfather, Richard Michael Fabel (born in Magdeburg) had a brother who sailed via ship to the U.S. Unfortunately no one ever heard from him again. My grandfather hired private investigators, but had no luck locating him. Could he have arrived in Africa instead?
I would like to connect more information with the both of you to see if we have common family heritage.

Sincere Regards,
Mona

Re: Hi There

2006-01-08 23:47:47Z

Hi Deidre,

First of all, thankyou very much for responding. I thought at first you were my sister replying ... I was thinking, what the ?? ... then I read you were from South Africa, how interesting!

To answer your question, I am only a casual observer of ancestory as opposed to an active researcher. But there are people in the tree (from the German branch) who made contact with my mother several years ago and provided a detailed and well researched family tree. So it is good to see where other branches fit in.

I am interested that the South African Fabels are related. How many families are there and do you know when they started in South Africa and where they came from? .... I am guessing Holland.

Thanks again for responding Deidre,

Kind regards, Phil

Re: Hi There

2006-01-07 20:27:36Z

Hi

Yes, I am interested to find out more about my family tree. Fabel is also a very uncommon surname in South Africa and we are all direct family. How did you go about finding out about your family tree? By for now! Didi

Re: Hi There

2006-01-07 20:23:57Z

I have no idea where my family originated from. I only know the Fabel family in South Africa. How do you find out where your family originated from? Happy new year, by the way!

Re: Hi There

2005-10-10 04:13:08Z

I am from the Australian branch of the Fabel tree and it is quite an uncommon name here. I have a very detailed family tree somewhere showing the British then German heritage way back to 1690 odd if you are interested. Cheers, Phil

Hello All

My family comes from Bad Homburg vor der Hohe in Germany, not far from Darmstadt in Hesse. I have not done much searching but I am surprised to see how far the seed from Hessen has spread. Anyone wanting to email me on information pertaining to the Homburger Fabels please do so. Auf wiedersehen, Bill

Re: Fabel Family Information

2004-11-28 01:57:02Z

I wish that those names rang a bell, but they do not. My grandfathers siblings were Albert and Anna, others unknown.
He was from Magdeburg Germany. Came to the U.S. and lived in New York. He worked for the German Shiplines for many years.
Good luck to you!

Re: Fabel Family Information

2004-11-23 04:56:53Z

My husband's father had a sister Bertha and a brother Joseph. His great grandfather was Christopher Joseph Fabel and I have no record of his siblings.
It would be nice if there were a connection. I believe Joseph had a daughter Dorothy who never married.
Christopher Joseph settled in New York and had a hardware store there in the early 1900's.
Does any of this ring a bell with you?

We have a 1883 Victorian home in St. Paul. I am doing genealogy research on the family who built it. The builder's daughter, Louise Krech, married Philip Fabel in 1860. They had three children, Philip, Jr., Henry and George. I am trying to bring the Fabel tree current to today. Any information you may have to share would be appreciated.

Re: Fabel Family Information

2004-01-31 00:18:58Z

I have no where near 7000 people in my Fabel genealogy but do trace the line back to Germany. Would be interesting to see if your line and my husband's line connect any place.

Oddly enough, I was stationed in Darmstat 1977-1979 without knowing there were other Fabels there. I had been told my famliy origins were German, but near the French border

Hi, Saw your message about the Fabel in Lock Haven. Do you have any info on a William Fabel who married a Laura Mae Johnson. They had a son Otto who married an Ester Ann Quigley. I am new searching this name and would appreciate your help. They all lived in the Lock Haven PA area.
Thanks

Fabels from Darmstadt

t_sand — 2001-08-28 01:19:58Z

Our Fabels came from the community of Petterweiler
in Darmstadt Hesse in about 1850 to Philadelphia,PA.
They went to Carver County, MN in about 1855.
The mother was Eliza ( Elizabeth), the boys Henry
and Philip. Fathers name unknown. Philip lived in St Paul,
Henry fought in the Civil War and lived the remainder of his life
in Carver County. Any information about Fabels in
Petterweil, Darmstadt Hesse or Philadelphia appreciated.

Re: Fabels from Darmstadt

t_sand — 2001-09-10 16:05:29Z

E-mail me privately and I will send you the .rtf file that I received from the archives in Petterweil, Germany where the Fabels came from. This has all of the family back to 1740.
In modern history, we are descended from Henry Fabel
(Philipps younger brother)and I have not researched Philipp's family. Both Philip and his father Conrad were shoemakers and continued in that trade after they came to St. Paul.

Hi There

deidre159 — 2004-09-14 19:32:50Z
