Hi, I just bought a folder of excellent drawings by an Elisabeth Gebhard circa 1932. I asked the guy I bought them from and he said he got them from birmingham England. I found an ancestory thing on Google images which showed a long line of Gebhards one of which was in Birmingham in around 1912. I was wondering if this is of any interest to your research and if you are in any way related to the artist. Please let me know. anthony@barun.orangehome.co.uk

My grandfather, Christian Gebhardt, was born in 1883 in MN and his father, Christian Gebhardt, was born in 1843 in Germany and their wives names are different. Sorry, I don't think it's a connection. Good luck to you.

Re: GEBHARD - Breztfield

clw34 — 2007-05-05 21:15:04Z

I am trying to find out about Gebhard ancestors from Germany--possibly Bretzfeld. I go as far back as Christ. Gebhard, born April 29, 1829, in Germany, married to Wilhelmina (no known surname). Family lore has it that he left Germany because, as a Methodist minister, he was persecuted. He came to the US, and served as a minister prior to his death in 1896. My cousin was contacted by someone saying that we were related through a Frederick Gebhard, 1842, but my cousin did not know anything more about it than that. Does this link up with anything you have?

Re: Looking for Gebhards/Gebhardts Dodge County WI and MN

clw34 — 2007-05-05 20:55:30Z

I, too, am descended from a Mr. and Mrs. Christian Gebhard--two of them, in fact, but I don't know if they are from the same family as your line. The first Christian Gebhard was born about 1829 in Germany. His wife was Wilhelmina. He was a minister at the Flora German Methodist Church in Flora Twp., MN, and died in 1896. Their son, Christian W. Gebhard, born about 1862 in (perhaps) Wisconsin, married Ella Jones in MN around 1887or 88. Are these the same people, or am I barking up the wrong family tree?

Just discovered that my gt. gt. gt. grandfather had another sister, she was Johann Sara Maria GEBHARD b 9/1/1815 in Praunheim Frankfurt. She was the daughter of Martin GEBHARD and Catharina DUCHMANN. The is an addition to her birth register that says The wife of SALZE died 12 feb 1896 9presumably this means that she married someone with the name of SALZE and that she died on that date?
The godparents are Ludwig BERNUS a Banker in Frankfurt and his wife Johanna Sara Maria BERNUS. Therefore Martin GEBHARD named his daughter after his employer's wife.

MY FAMILY HISTORY TO BIRMINGHAM & EVENTS OF THE TIMES

Research commenced by Paul GEBHARD after “prompting” by his great aunt Edna Griffiths (nee Gebhard). I am really pleased that she did, at the time myself and all of my living relatives knew very little, we knew of Martin James GEBHARD my Great Grandfather who died in August 1956 when I was almost 2 years old but little more; having now unearthed what in the 1870’s was probably a hugely delicate “skeleton in the cupboard” it becomes obvious why my father and his father knew nothing about their ancestor Johann Jacob GEBHARD – obviously the subject was taboo.

As well as learning about my own family tree the additional benefit is that I have learned quite a bit about Birmingham’s and Germany’s history along the way.

When I eventually proved after a lot of work (and also by having the good fortune to make contact with Jean Alexander – nee GEBHARD) that my Great Great Great Grandfather was a Johann Jacob GEBHARD who came to England in the late 1840’s I then started to think not only about “who begat who” but more about the lives and times of these people and also why should a German male migrate to England?

I discovered that its likely that the reason would have been one of the following:- Germany had national service and some of the males left to avoid it, the well to do Germans came to England as it was fashionable to do so because there was a German family on the English throne, conversely the German crops failed for a couple of years in the early 1840s and a lot of poor families in Germany who took their chances and got on a ship to try their luck in another country (mainly the USA and England).

I also learned about the people with the other main surnames in my tree; on my mum’s side PRITCHARD (from Brierley Hill, Holly Hall in Worcestershire and eventually Wellington in Shropshire in about 1810); GODWIN (back to 1650 in Stafford). On my dad’s side his mother’s surname was PEARSON (I’ve traced that back to 1755 in the Plumtree area of Nottingham).

At Whitsun 2006 I travelled to Frankfurt and tracked down the church in Praunheim Frankfurt where my Great, Great, Great Grandfather Johann Jacob GEBHARD was baptized in 1820; I have visited St. Martins in the Field in London where Johann married Eliza ISLIP in 1853; I have stood by plot 27L in Key Hill Cemetery Birmingham where he was buried in 1883. I now feel that I sort of know Johann though there is no known photograph of him in existence.

Johann Jacob GEBHARD (my Great Great Great Grandfather) was born at noon on Monday 22nd November 1819 in Praunheim now a district of Frankfurt; at the time of his birth it was a village with a population of circa 700; his father was Martin GEBHARD (a Gardner in the employ of Ludwig BERNUS a Banker in Frankfurt) and his mother’s name was Catharina DUCHMANN.

Johann’s eldest sister Lischen Marion GEBHARD was born in Frankfurt on the 12th May 1814 (she too came to England and married Thomas ISLIP) Thomas became a very successful pearl button manufacturer in Birmingham); Johann had another sister Johanna Sara Maria GEBHARD born 9th January 1815 (she married a man with the surname SALZE which is, I believe, a surname of French origin), Johann had a brother George Heinrich GEBHARD BORN 23rd September 1816. By no later than 1831 Catharina had died (Johann was 12).

1819 Johann Jacob GEBHARD was born at noon on Monday 22nd November in Praunheim Frankfurt; he was baptised on the 28th January 1820 in the Lutheran church in Praunheim, the church is still there and when I entered it this was a very emotional moment (I could not find any trace of either the birth or the baptism of his father Martin GEBHARD or of Martin’s marriage – Johann’s father’s family were Lutherans and the DUCHMANN line was catholic and came from Florsheim and Rudesheim); I have traced Johann’s mother’s line as far back as 1403 and I spent a day in Rudesheim.

1847 The first knowledge I have of Johann Jacob GEBHARD in England is as a witness to the marriage of his elder sister Lischen GEBHARD (aged 34) to Thomas ISLIP (aged 20) in Gloucester on the 5th August (Thomas ISLIP later became a Pearl Button Manufacturer in Birmingham).

Johann’s future wife Elizabeth ISLIP is listed as a visitor on the night that the census is taken 30th March 1851. Therefore Johann and Elizabeth knew each other for at least 2 years before they married and probably longer – I would guess that it’s very likely that they met at the above mentioned marriage of 1847.

In this year Birmingham’s St. Martin’s market opens in Jamaica Row.

Johann was 33 years of age. Johann and his wife Elizabeth went to Germany where their son Johann Martin GEBHARD (but usually known as Martin) is born in Mainz on Tuesday 19th of April; why Germany for the birth and why Mainz and not Frankfurt?; perhaps Germany was chosen for the birth because in this year there was a cholera epidemic in Birmingham and they didn’t want the child to be born in Birmingham because of this.

I have discovered that this property was built in 1851 for the BRAGG family who were buckle-makers. The corner and the rear of the property (where the manufactory was) were both rebuilt in 1910, however, if you go there today the left hand side of the building which is marked 55-57 and the inside with its wooden staircases have not been altered i.e. it’s the same as when these ancestors lived there 146 years ago! If you are in the area do go to Vittoria Street and have a look (the Jewellers Arms is O.K. for a glass of something afterwards or the Rose Villa Tavern, they are both relatively unspoilt).

Then within minutes find the ancestry of his mother Catharina DUCHMANN (born 25th of July 1801) back to 1403 in Florsheim! (typically though I couldn’t find anything about his father Martin GEBHARD!).

On the DUCHMANN line I am back to what is to me my 17th Great Grandfather a Peter I. DUCHMANN born 1403.

We can trace our Duchmann ancestors to late medieval times; Chaucer had just died, the days of Henry IV and Agincourt, pre William Caxton, pre Leonardo da Vinci, pre Michaelangelo, pre the Tudors etc!

I want to find out where my Great, Great, Grandmother Alice Maude GEBHARD (nee Gretton) is buried; she died in 1924 but earlier in the year she had married a Mr. John G. BROOKS so presumably I am looking for the burial of an Alice M. BROOKS.

What happened to Elizabeth GEBHARD? (sister to Johann Martin, Marie Katherina and Agnes Johanna); she was still unmarried aged 43 and living with her mother in 1901 (she is not mentioned in her sister’s will made in 1941).

I would like to find out more about the movements of my great, grandfather Martin James GEBHARD (Driver 53218 Royal Corps of Engineers) in the First World War and of my granddad Clifford John GEBHARD (Jim”) who in the Second World War was in the 51st Highland Regiment which became attached to the 8th Army – where did these men go? What did they have to endure?
I would also like to know where they went to school as children etc.

I would like to know if the three different Gebhard families in Birmingham in the 1880’s knew of each other: “Our Lot” (from Frankfurt first arrived circa 1849 to Birmingham); then there were the Gebhards that were Pork Butchers (from Bretzfeld in Wurttemberg), and finally the family of Wilhelm Conrad GEBHARD the Importer/Exporter from Nuremberg (wife Florence MANT; sons Norman Leslie GEBHARD, Eric Walter GEBHARD and Gerald Mant GEBHARD)

I do realise that I will never see a photograph of Johann Jacob GEBHARD or his wife Eliza but I do wonder if someone somewhere has a photograph of Johann Martin GEBHARD (“Martin”) my Great Great Grandfather who died in 1921.

Others missing from my photo collection are Clifford GEBHARD (died in Leicester in 1923 aged 39 he married an Emily ROGERS).

I still find it amazing that there were 3 probably separate German families with the same surname in Birmingham at that time – that took some unravelling at the beginning (if anyone is researching the GEBHARD(T) brothers that came to England from Bretzfeld and settled in Wakefield, Morpeth, Sheffield and Birmingham I have gathered lots of information on them by “accident” which I will happily pass on to you).

Hi Paul:

Thanks for responding. According to a newspaper article I read (no title of the the newspaper and no date), his father, also named Frederick, was American and his grandfather was born in Amsterdam, Holland. He was named Frederick as well and emigrated to New York and started an import business and soon bought up lots of New York real estate. I don't have the year he arrived in New York. The only name I have for Freddie's mother is Miss Davies.

Thanks,

Sandra

Re: FREDERICK GEBHARD

D_Cunningham — 2005-04-17 18:24:45Z

I am wondering if these Gebhards were in any way related to mine. My great grandfather, August Gebhard came to the states from Germany. I have his father as Michael. He came to U.S. in 1872 from my records, and was in Wabash, Indiana in the 1880 census. I have his father as Adam, no details except he married an Anna Fleischer. If any of this sounds familiar, please email me at wwdj@kanza.net. Thanks

I would like any that you have. Maybe, I have some of the Smith information that you don't. I only have it all back to Henry Cashus so far. Drop me an email if you get a chance. Deanna

Hallo

Konnten allen Sie helfen mir an gefallen? (ich spreche, kein Deutsches also entschuldige die Qualitat dieses Buchstaben, wie ich einen Computer benutzte, um ihn von englischem zum Deutschen zu ubersetzen).

1) habe ich dab mein groBes entdeckt, groB, war groBer GroBvater Johann Jacob GEBHARD und daB er an November 22. im Jahr 1819 in Praunheim, Frankfurt getragen wurd (protestierend oder Lutheraner – nicht katholisch) Er wurde am Januar 28, 1820 irgendwo in Praunheim getauft, aber ich weiB nicht in, welcher bestimmter Kirche – die Kirche in Praunheim Stille besteht?

Seine Eltern waren ein Martin GEBHARD (ein Gartner, der von einem Herrn BERNUS in Praunheim eingesetzt wurde) und Catharina DUCHMANN (Catharina war die Tochter von einem Phillip DUCHMANN von Florsheim und von Elisabetha Theka NEBL von Rudesheim).

2) hatte Johann Jacob GEBHARD einen Sohn Johann Martin GEBHARD der auf April 19. im Jahr 1853 in Mainz getragen wurde.
Wurde die Kirche in Mainz Stille bestehen?

3) hatte Johann Jacob GEBHARD die folgenden Geschwister:-

Lischen Marion GEBHARD getragen Mai 12. 1814 (sie zog auch nach England um)

Johanna Sara Maria GEBHARD geboren Januar 9 1815 in Praunheim (sie heiratete vielleicht einen Mann mit dem Familiennameen von SALZE)

George Heinrich GEBHARD getragen September 23. 1816 Praunheim Frankfurt.

Wenn Sie mir in irgendwie helfen konnten, wurde das, besonders fantastich sein hinsichtlich nach welcher Kirchen ich suche.

Danke
