Amos Foreman (1830-1863) was married to Christena Byer. As far as I can tell, they had 5 children: Mary, Elizabeth, Laura Ann, Amos, and Ann. I have no idea what happened to Mary, Elizabeth, and Laura Ann. If anyone has any information they'd like to share, I'd love to know more.

Edward Fuhrman m Nanna Nelson in Brown Co SD 1930

BarbaraNelson57 — 2010-09-15 21:51:17Z

Edward Fuhrman m Nanna Nelson in 1930 in Brown CO(probably in Aberdeen). She was the daughter of Ned(Fred or even nathan in variety of info)and Hesina Rose(Knudsen)Nelson
Ned and Hesina immigrated with their 3 solder chidren born in Norway in 1909. Samuel 1901 Harold 1904 and Ellen in 1906.
In SD Ned and Hesina had Nanna(above)1912, Norma 1914 and Jennie in 1916.

I think Edward and Nanna may have had 3 sons Lyle, Larry, and Dennis(see previous message ) I'd like to know more about Edward's family -parents/sibblings, and when(dates) they were married. I'd like also to know when Nanna and Edward died
Third I'd like to try to find out if Hesina's and Ned's immigrated from Norway Her parents were Johannes Knudsen dob 1838 and Anna Dorothea Paulsen(who were their parents sibblings) 1841.

Any help appreciated

Barbara

Lyle Larry and Dennis Fuhrman from Aberdeen and Warner in 1961 at least

BarbaraNelson57 — 2010-09-14 05:52:18Z

I have 3 grandsons of Ned and Hesina Nelson(both born in Norway and immigrated with their first 3 children to SD in 1909(or so)
Samuel 1901 Harold 1905 and Ellen in 1907
In SD 3 more children were born
Nanna 1912 Norman or Norma 1914 and Jennie in 1916

Hesina I believe died around 1927 Ned in 1961 in Florida while visiting children(but who?)

I'd like to find out who the children above married
I do know that Ellen married someone name ? Wiltfang. Did they have children if so who where and when. They might have been in Mansfield at least in 1961. Where did the Wiltfang familiy originate and who were Eleen's in laws?

Harold married Gertrud Nadine Voss dob March 20 1913 of Mansfield. She died Dec 25 1979 I think. Who were their children and and Gertrudes family

So I'm hoping to find out who Jennie 1916, Norma? 1914 and Nanna 1912 married. One of them(at least) married a ? Fuhrman and they were the parents of Lyle Larry and Dennis.

In 1961 Lyle was in Aberdeen SD and Larry and Dennis were in Warner SD. I'd like to know too, who they married, who their children are/were.

Where in Florida were Ned's children in 1961???? when he died while visiiting them.

Thank you so much

Re: 5 Fuhrman families from Germany

starsin1 — 2009-07-21 15:17:16Z

Tim, I know very little, my family stayed in Pennsylvania. My Great, great grandfather, Daniel Fuhrmann came over in 1853, out of port from Le Havra, France it appears about 7 % of the population came from that port. They were mostly from Baden and Bavaria. I have been searching ship records from 1853 and it shows about 5 people coming over in different months, from Bavaria. I have added these people hoping they might be his sisters. However, no leads on them so far, can't find a husband to go with them.

Most of the family was labours or farmers, in Pa. I found documents in paid taxes that Daniel worked as a cattle broker.

I wished more folks would have more information. I know someone out there must have old family bibles or documents.

I was told that my father's father and 5 other Fuhrman families came over together from Germany. Two of the families settled in Pennsylvania and Ohio and the three others settled in different states.

My Father's name id Theodore Robert Fuhrman born May, 30th 1929.

Hi Susan,
Rogers City is on the Lake Huron coast, about an hour south of the Mackinaw Bridge--so it's pretty far from Muskegon and Benton Harbor. BUT...August and his wife (whoever she was! but that's another story) lived in Detroit for 2 years before moving north. They homesteaded west of Rogers City, and the farm is still in the family over 130 years later. August was born about 1825 in Germany, but I don't know anything about his parentage. I know it was common for siblings to move to America and live near siblings who were already there, so that's why I was wondering if there's a connection...even though Muskegon and Rogers City are so far apart! :-)

Thanks for any info you can provide, connected to my family or not! It all helps.

Susan

Re: Martin Fuhrman B:Germany 1827

grandpafinder — 2008-07-25 17:07:12Z

Hi Susan, Do you have any idea about where Rogers City is ??
I don't have a map handy,and am just not familiar with MI
except for the fact that I have a general idea where Muskegon and Benton Harbor are. I don't know for sure if Martin has any siblings,but I sort of have this gut feeling that he does. August sounds familiar... It seems I remember seeing an August in my list of possible connections to Martin. What I do know is that Martin had children Gustav,born in 1857,Minnie (Wilhelmina),born abt.1852,Julia A., born 1855 and Emilie Ann,born 1869. All were born in Germany.Emilie was born in Posen Schreidemuhle ( or something like that..(can't read it very well). Much of my info was out of my husband's grandfather's German Lutheran catachism ? book.His mother was Emilie.My father gave us some photos that he got after his parents passed away, and one of them, he believes is Martin with some family members.There are no names on the back of the photo,so it's really anybody's guess who they are. I just wish that I could be of more help... This family has been pretty elusive .... Oh,my father in law did say that most of the Fuhrmans that he remembered lived in Muskegon.If you have any more questions,I'd be more than happy to help..if I can.
Thanks !

Hi Grandpafinder, I think I just responded to Sarah's message thinking she was responding to one of mine! Anyway, do you know anything about Martin's ancestry--who his parents were, or any siblings? I'm wondering if he may have been related to my August, who emigrated in 1867 and lived near Rogers City.
Thanks,

Hi Sarah, it doesn't sound familiar at all...I'm sorry! I know how frustrating it is to try to sort it out. I got so disgusted that today is my first day back on the message boards in a few years! :-) Don't give up! Good luck!

Hi Susan,
I have ancestors from Germany with the last name of Fuhrman but everything is very sketchy. Karl & Frederike ( neé Fuhrman) Frantz gave birth to my gggrandmother Ida Emile Frantz who immigrated to US in 1894. They were from Halle Germany. Frederike, from what I can tell was born to Johanne Fuhrman[nee Kohler, b. 1803, d. 1891 in Halle, Germany]. No name of the husband available. Confusing dates. Any connection?

Still tyring to piece together the story of my family,and find anyone who knows,has ever heard of,or thinks they may be a relations of these folks.Would LOVE to find ANY LIVING decendants of this family,and maybe we can help each other fill in some missing pieces.

Vera,August Jr.Eugene,and Francis
Also
Edward Fuhrmann,wife Anna Fuhrmann
sons Earnest or Ernst,Curt,and Alfred
Lisbeth Fuhrmann is not listed in household,no idea what happened to her,no idea what happened to rest of the family with the exception of my grandpa Ernst (pos Earnest) (Ernie.Curt,Died in a automobile accident Nov 7,1933
This family was NEVER spoken of by my grandfather Ernst,so none of them,and no one on my fathers side were ever known to us.In 1923 Edward,Anna,Lisbeth,Curt and Alfred went to the U.S. departing Le Havre France on a ship called Suffren,and docking at the Port of NEW York,on their way to Clayton Missouri to see Uncle Julius Fuhrmann.Rumor had it there was also Fuhrmann family in N.Y.Iowa,and Indiana,but we've not been able to make those connections.Sometime after his marriage in 1940 to my grandmother Irene Hulda Mae Sieckmann,and before 1944 when my dad was born,Ernst lived in Hebron (Porter co.)Indiana,but returned at some point to St. Louis,as that is where my dad was born in 1944.I have seen a few names and at least 1 very similar story in here of how the family was NEVER spoken of.I wonder if there are any matches to be made,and really hope that there are.

Re: Clarence Dale Fuhrman 1921-2006

jfuhrman7 — 2008-01-21 04:43:18Z

Clarence Fuhrman was (i believe) a cousin of my grandfather Ruben Fuhrman. Does this sound correct?

Re: Peter Fuhrmann, Montana

jfuhrman7 — 2008-01-21 04:39:37Z

I am related to the Fuhrmann's- My grandfather was Ruben Fuhrmann (for some reason they took the extra "n" off) Let's see his father was one of the twins (I can't remember all the details... but i have them written down somewhere)- they headed to Montana and I know that some are in California as well.

Kyle, where did your Fuhrman family live? I have the same names in my MI branch.

Otto Fuhrmans mom, Carl Fuhrmans Wife, and Anna Priners mom and dad

kylejfuhrman — 2007-11-25 02:55:18Z

Otto Fuhrman is my great grandpa and was born in the year 1890 Carl was his dad.Otto had a wife named Anna Priner
I cant figure out who Ottos mom was(Carls wife). I think the problem is that there last name used to be spelled Fuhrmann but they dropped the extra n and its now Fuhrman. I also need help on figuring out who annas mom and dad were. Any other information on these three or there relatives would be great.

Johannes Fuhrmann Ships Passenger list 27 Oct 1764 Rotterdam to Pennsylvania

novella3 — 2007-09-30 14:42:17Z

Hi,

On this list I found last eve was mentioned a Johannes Fuhrmann.

Ships Passenger list dated Saturday, 27th, October, 1764. Ship-Hero out of Rotterdam to Pennsylvania.

Am wondering if anyone knows anything about Johannes Fuhrmann? In USA the 2nd N was invariably dropped.

Birth date & location, Parents & or siblings names, any info might help us determine if he is related.

Our family lore states that 2 ancestors 2 or 3 generations apart came to the USA. WE have found only my Great Great Grandfather b. 1819 who came to Wisconsin via New York in 1844. Our Johannes shows in German records birth only. It is believed but unproven he may have gone to USA.

Thank you so much for any help you may be able to give,
Kathy

Would you possibly give me your information? How you are related to Katherine - descending down from Katherine and any information you have regarding her ancestors? I have Katherine's parents as Barbara and Jacob. Let me know if this correct or not.
