hello, i am a descendant of the anton fahrer who came from sufflenheim, alsace, france to canada in 1843. he came with his family, including my great grandmother therese. i am currently looking for his parents. i believe his father's name was philip but he does not appear to have been born in sufflenheim. the alsace families settled in mary hill, ontario, very close to guelph and there is a genealogy centre in mary hill that has some very interesting information. i imagine our anton fahrers are in some way connected. please reply and let me know how your research is going.

regards
debi

Looking for info on grandparents

queenmhart — 2011-02-21 15:17:43Z

I'm trying to trace back from my grandparents, Herman Fahrer and Toba (Tillie) Zwerling. Both were born in Austria in the late 1800's, emigrated to the USA in the early 1900's, and lived in Philadelphia, PA.

Re: Fahrer in Ohio

cctuswren — 2008-10-31 22:52:55Z

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but according to my family history she was married to John Dart and they had a son. The family could be wrong. I will check into the two names you have listed below
Thanks, Dawn

marydeloras — 2008-09-17 19:38:58Z

Is this Fred Fryman in your family? Do you know any more about Ann Dart? I have been trying to find out her maiden name. She was first either married to James Curtis Dart or Ward Dart. Do you know which one?

Mary Dart

Re: Fahrer in Ohio

cctuswren — 2008-09-17 15:45:29Z

Henry Fahrer and Esther Ann Dart were married then and they had a child named Isley V. She later married Fred Fryman

I have the passport of my GGG grandmother hanging in my living room...Joanna Christine Kiessig . Do you think this might be the same one you're looking for? She sailed from Bremen in the mid 1800's. My GGG grandfather was from Saxony, I believe. I would be interested in more information!

God Bless,

Laura

Re: Fahrer family??

Randall_Kiessig — 2005-06-09 04:42:15Z

Do you know anything about Johanne Christine Kiessig? I have been doing a ton of research, and havent been able to find much out about our German side except that my GG Grandfather came from Saxony.

Please feel free to visit the Kiessig forum =:)

Re: Fahrers in Australia, Fahrers in Romania

2005-02-01 20:14:50Z

I have just read the info about the Fahrers from Bucharest, Romania.
My father Alexander Fahrer was the son of Herman and Toba Fahrer
from Bucharest. I recall hearing that my grandfather was a tailor/coatmaker whose work was somehow connected to the "royal palace". They were Jewish and came to Philadelphia, Pa in the early 1900's. I would love to read any information you have found about Fahrer ancestors going back as far as possible, and especially those who are Jewish and/ or from Romania. I look forward to hearing from you.

My grandfather's name was Charles Fahrer. His wife's name was Ray. I know he had at least two sisters but I never really knew them. I'll have to check with other family with regard to a Shirley or Bertha. Charles' family was from Austria-Hungary. Does your family have any connection there?

Re: Some interesting history

2002-04-15 12:15:43Z

Sorry, I don't think he is connected to my family.

Dear Adrian,

I have a relative named Anton Fahrer-from Germany, came to the US around 1850. He was formerly a priest and then later became a doctor. He lived in Evansville, Indiana. Does any of this ring a bell?

God Bless,

Laura Symon

Re: Some interesting history

2002-04-15 04:07:55Z

Dear Mitch,

I am looking for any information that you might have on Anton Fahrer. He was born in Germany (I think), and came over to the USA around 1850. He was a priest turned doctor and lived in Evansville, Indiana. Do you have any record of him? I'd appreciate any help.

God Bless,

Laura Symon

Re: Fahrer family??

2002-04-15 04:01:51Z

Dear Kristi,

I too am looking for Fahrer relatives. My ancestor-Anton Fahrer-I think was originally from Germany and was born around 1820. He was a Catholic priest in Germany, and fled to this country because of "religious" persectuion. He sent for his "girlfriend" several months later. He married Johanne Christine Kiessig, and I know that she sailed from Bremen in 1853 (we have her passport). The family cemetery is on our land in Evansville, Indiana, and I have been looking for quite some time for information on his relatives.

Also, there was an Anton Fahrer somewhere in Canada, although it's not the same one. I do know that there are several Fahrers in new York and in Florida. I know I'm related to the Florida bunch, but I've never been able to trace a connection to the others.

Well, I hope this helps you. Please let me know if you need any more information, or if you have any to share.

God Bless,

laura Symon

Nick,

Sorry for not replying sooner. I just returned from what my son describes as "Mitch's Terrorist Trip".... Actually a business trip which coincidentally took me to Washington, D.C. and lower Manhattan, right past both attack sites. I am originally from Brooklyn, NY but spent most of my life living in suburban New Jersey. About 4 years ago I relocated to North Carolina.

Neither Melanie or Marius are Fahrer's I have heard mentioned before. Can I assume that from the route that your father's cousin followed (through Israel) that your roots are Jewish? If so, your family would be the first group of Fahrer's I have encountered (other than my own family) that is. Most of the other Fahrer's I have come across reside in Germany and I have yet to be able to find a link there.

Hi Mitch,
thanks for your reply. Where abouts are you writing from. Other information: My paternal grandmother was called Melanie Fahrer, my father's first cousin is Marius Fahrer. He is a world renowned orthopaedic surgeon and emigrated to Australia from Romania via Israel in the early 1960s.

There was a cousin in Germany (Rodica ....?) who lived in Frankfurst I think. The cousins in NY have a different name.

Is this any help?

Nick

Re: Our roots

2001-10-09 18:48:37Z

Can't say as I've heard the name Robert William mentioned before. My grandfather, born around the same time as your grandfather, was the first of his family to leave Europe. His brothers and sisters, all from an area in what used to be Austria-Hungary, arrived here in the 1920's I believe.

Re: Fahrers in Australia

2001-10-09 18:43:50Z

A good chance there might be some connection here as my grandfather and his family originally emanated from an area in what used to be Austria-Hungary.

Re: Our roots

2001-10-07 23:10:48Z

My Family also from NY Astoria to be exact. My Grandfather was Robert William Fahrer Born 11-25-1895 died 4-14-1979.
He was married twice that I know of. Does this relate to your family tree.

Fahrers in Australia

2001-03-31 03:15:58Z

The Fahrers originally came to Australia in 1947. Our branch came from Bucharest Romania. My father, Julien Fahrer, held a Polish passport but the borders kept changing in that part of Europe. His cousin went to Long Island, NY and some went to Israel. I thin kthe family name was changed to Fahrer about 120 years ago.

Our roots

2000-10-19 08:25:42Z

Yes, I do imagine our family was kicked out during the Spanish Inquisition as well. Most of our family still resides in the New York metropolitan area (Long Island) and New Jersey.

My father's name is Leonard. His older brother is Seymour. They are the sons of Charles and Rey Fahrer. My grandfather had siblings, but I was fairly young when they passed away. I'll try to dig up some information and post it. Hopefully by doing so I can find a link from our family to others.

2000-10-19 07:42:29Z

Hi, i just read the message I am replying too and to my suprise i was told of the exact same story for my families name. We were kicked out during the spanish inquisition and changed it to Fahrer which is German for travler. Good Luck on all your findings everyone.

late grandfather

2000-06-07 13:52:55Z

we are looking for any information about my late grandfather named Jehuda or Julius in English. He was lost around 1921 or 22 in Poland/Russia when he went to join the new Russian army. We believe he is buried in the vicinity of Kiev. He married Chupa or Celia Fischler of Borschev and they had a son David (my father0 in 1920.

Some interesting history

2000-05-20 19:49:25Z

Before my grandfather passed away some years ago he advised us that our name was not originally Fahrer, and the we were not always of Germanic origin. Apparently, our ancestors left an area in southern Spain (now Portugal) in the late 1400's or early 1500 I believe, called Faro. Our original family name was DeFaro, or De Faro.

This all came as quite a surprise to our family, needless to say. My dad (who is in his 70's himself had always heard that the family was from Germany and eastern Europe.

If by chance you have any information about any Fahrer's that eminated from the town of Faro or of the derivation of Fahrer from Faro, I would appreciate it. Fahrer of course means traveler, so it is very likely that someone leaving their homeland for another would want to take up a name that sounded somewhat like their former name, but one that would make them fit in better. What better name than Fahrer?

I am looking for information on Charles Fair born about 1753, died March 1792 in Fredrick Co. MD. He married Mary Slider about 1777, she was born about 1757. They lived on 50 acres which was bought on November 23, 1773 from William Diggs and Raphael Taney part of the tract of land know as "Resurvey on Brothers Agreement". This is physically located to the east and directly south of Taneytown, MD. The last information I have on Charles, is a will probated in Fredrick Co. MD on July 29, 1793:

Accounts Admin: Frederick County Maryland, Probate Administration Accounts Liber GM #1 1777-1799 (Part Two)

465. Final account of Charles FAIR deceased Mary FAIR Peter SLIDER executors. 29 Jul 1793.

If you have any information on Charles exact birth date, parents name, the marriage date and location, to Mary Slider and Mary's date of death, I would be most appreciative if you could respond to this note.

Thanks,

I am looking for information on my great grandfather's family. He came from Alsace Lorraine in the 1920's I believe. He left behind all his siblings and parents. Anyone know of any other Fahrer's from Germany? I am just getting started and could use any help I could get without paying an arm and a leg.
