Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone is still doing any geneology about the Geppert family as well? I am a descendant from the George Geppert and Theresia Mueller family from Diersburg Germany as well.

Re: GEPPERT

hollyaswee — 2013-06-07 17:31:41Z

Betty, my name is Holly, and I believe my 4th ggrandfather was Joseph Geppert. I would really enjoy hearing more information regarding this Geppert line.

Does anyone have any information on Minnie Theresa Geppert? She was married to Merrit Fisher and lived in Pentwater Michigan.

hollygirl076 — 2012-12-28 04:43:31Z

Thank you for sharing this information. I'd like to share and compare info with you as well. It's been a while since I've been on this website and recently started researching more information again about my family. We are working on taking a trip to Germany in the next year or so and wanted to find out as much information as possible. In a different message you spoke of a shrine in front of a church dedicated to the family in Diersburg. Do you know what the name of the church is? If possible I'd like to visit it. If you have any more information I'd enjoy hearing about it.

Re: Variant spellings I have seen...

1_megberesik — 2012-08-07 18:30:04Z

My maiden name was Giffert. I'm having difficulty discovering much information about my father's family tree. I do know that his father came here from the Austro-Hungarian empire and died in a construction accident in NYC around 1918. His name was Joseph Geffert. The spelling was changed when the children were in school in Roselle, NJ.
My father once told me that he had uncles who came to the US with his dad, but they didn't remain in contact with one another. I'd love to know if I am related to any other Gefferts.

Jane,
I don't know if you are still doing any geneology, but I just saw your post. I am a descendant from Theresia, Adolph's sister. You said that you received information from the priest in Diersburg about his parents, Theresia Mueller and George Geppert. I would be so interested to hear what you found out.

We have a photo of my Wife's parents with a block number stamp on the back of 4680 from Geppert's. This photo would have been taken in the late 1930's. We are trying to narrow the date window, will let you all know if we are successful.

Thank you for your time.

HI
I just found a photo that I believe to be my father with the Geppert stamp on the back.
His mother's maiden name was Gebard, so naturally I am wondering of a possible relation with her grandfater. Henry Martin Gebard. and his brother John Adel Gebard. We have been unable to match them with parents or other siblings.
They were in IN and IL.
ANY information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you know if the negatives are available anywhere. My great aunt just mailed a picture of my great grandparents, and as you can imagine, it would be fantastic to get a clean copy of the photo.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I was wondering if you knew of a house Clark Geppert owned in the '60's in Clear Lake, IA. My mom (maiden name: Willson) remembers going there when she was little and has pictures of her swimming in the lake. I don't remember if she said they were related or just friends of the family but she is taking a trip up there and can't remember the address. Is there any way you would know?

Thanks,
Emily

My husband's 3rd ggrandfather Joseph Geppert b 1785 in Baden had a son Karl b abt 1805. His brother George was b1808 in Diersburg, Baden, Ger. The family remained there for decades & there is a shrine in front of the church there dedicated to the family. I'd be happy to share pics & info.

Is Adolph Albert Geppert your ancestor? If so, he is my husband's ggrandfather & I have quite a bit of info on the family.

Re: August Augusta

corydglover — 2010-03-07 20:01:35Z

Wow! Thank you so much! It truly is a pleasure hearing from you. You answered one of the questions I have always wondered about and that was how he ended up in Germany. I appreciate all of your leg work. I do have some other questions about the siblings. Please contact me at cjglover2001@yahoo.com. I have some photos to share as well as a copy of Albert's christening certificate in 1893. Albert's children were able to go to Hawaii many years ago in their search and was able to obtain it. Maybe it will help someone else too. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: August Augusta

kayclowers51 — 2010-03-06 04:49:05Z

Dear Corydglover,
I was so happy to hear from you. It was only last month I got around to researching Albert Ellenberg as I was working on all the others. Since you have ancestry. com I will use it as our common format. I might as well tell you I am sorry I have no pictures for you but I do have some info. you might like. If I could get your address or (?) I have made up a packet for you of information. Otherwise, here is some leads : When you go into the 1900 census for Hawaii, only use the name Ellenberg, not Albert Ellenberg or you won't pull up anything. Also, Be sure you use Albert R.Ellenberg not Richard Albert Ellenberg which is backwards as far as I can tell. Under 1900 census for Ellenberg you should pull up a page with Christian,(father) Mary,(mother) William, Ida, Arthur,Bertha, and Alfred who are all your Albert's siblings.Be sure to "click" on original document to see their answers, lots of info there. There's more under City Directories, Honolulu 1890,Husted's 1899 - 1901 etc. What do you want me to do about all this info? Your Great, great Grandfather (christian) was a gun pointer on a tug designed with heavy artillery, in the little battle of the Monarchy overthrow. He was at Diamond head for that. So says the Gepperts that were there with him in Hawaii at the time and in the Hawaiian National Guard.Also info on why he (Christian) came over from Germany to begin with.Seems he was a Game Warden on a Yonker's estate in Germany. Yonkers were the upper crust that had the "Von" in front of their names, anyway,his friend shot a rabbit illegally on the estate and got caught; that Grandpa Ellenberg did not turn him in caused him alot of trouble. He was told he either had to go to the local pokey or go to Hawaii that the Germans were trying to colonize at the time. Seems silly now doesn't it.So says a letter I have from his grandson who was told the story as a young man. That same young man Les,also came down to see your Albert as a child with his mother, My Augusta. He said "Mom and I went to South Carolina to see Mom's brother 'Happy' Ellenberg."(Nickname of Albert's right?)One more thing for now;the 1900 census has Albert's birthday under Ida's name. Ida was either a twin or a mistake, please believe me there are lots of mistakes. Also see Albert's WW1 registration certificate under 'Military' section Ancestry. com where it shows his birthday. Write back if you want more help. Kay

Re: August Augusta

corydglover — 2010-02-25 03:16:34Z

Hello! It is truly amazing to see this. I am sorry to read it 10 years late!! My great-grandfather was Richard Albert Ellenberg. He was born in Honolulu, HI in 1892 to Christian and Marie(possibly Mary) Ellenberg. He emmigrated to Tacoma, Washington in 1908 and is indeed listed on the 1910 census as a brother-in-law to August and Augusta Geppert. He came to Georgia, was drafted and then stationed at Camp (now Fort) Gordon in Augusta, Ga. That is where he met my great-grandmother and stayed the rest of his life here in Aiken, SC until his death in 1967. I don't know much of the story, I never met him and my grandmother never got around to asking. I know he had a sister but the rest is a mystery. I'm just beginning to unravel this mystery and would love to know more.

Re: August Augusta

kayclowers51 — 2010-02-19 08:02:07Z

Dear melissa, It's too bad I didn't see your message until now. August and Augusta were my great-grandparents and great people. Marie Geppert on the messege board is a cousin. August born October of 1867 in Hamburg Germany. You can find him on the 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, census. Augusta, his wife, is there too, and all their children. Hawaii only has the Husted's directory of the Islands but shows him as a private in the Hawaiian National guard which he was. They were married Honolulu 1895. Lot's of Ellenbergs (her maiden name) I know her mother died when she was young. Christian Ellenberg may be her father who remarried because two of Christian and Mary's children came to Ruston and stayed with her in Ruston, Wa.See 1910 census for Geppert and you will see them there.She didn't live with them in Hawaii before she married August I can't find her anywhere.She was a great lady.Would like to solve this.

Something interesting I found on:

http://wikibin.org/articles/dean-studios.html

PART of the quote from that web site says:

"Dean Studios was the partnership of: Clark H. Geppert, Byron Geppert and Fidelis Geppert. On September 29, 1960 they were issued a Cease and Desist decission by the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive promotional practices. "

For more details go to the web site. I do not want to copy too much.

Re: Geppert Studios, Des Moines, Iowa

rrtomlinson — 2009-09-15 19:25:24Z

I have a picture of my mother in law and her sister taken about 1930 to 1935 by Geppert.

The picture was taken in or around Shennandoah Iowa area when these two used to play their gutiars live on KMA and KFNF in Shen.

Must have been a very large studio for its time to get so far away from home back then.

Re: Geppert Studios, Des Moines, Iowa

jimclark30009 — 2009-06-27 02:00:19Z

I have an 8x10 photo with the Geppert Studion stamp on back. Also has an address: 205-1/2 East Locust, Des Moines Iowa. This is a photo of an elderly woman sitting in a rocking chair. She is wearing a floor length dress with a white lace collar. A childs hand can be seen resting on her arm.

There is a hand lettered number that appears to be a coded file, account, or photo number. The number is 116182-k.

Anyone have knowledge of this company and who might have possession of the photo negatives.

Hello Alyce,
This also from Madison county and Nameoki township.
Read your query on genforum from 2004 about J. J. Range and W. Krone Geppert. Wilhelmina's previous husband, Anton Geppert, died of heat stroke in the late 1870s. My wife is a Geppert descended from Anton's brother Frank. I can forward your reply to a cousin who has extensive records about the Anton Geppert families. Wilhelmina was his third wife.

Hi, I believe we are related. My Great Grandfather was Otto Geppert, who I think was Franks brother (your Great Grandfather). It appears you have a fair amount of information about our family tree. I am curious if you know if you have ever met or know of any relatives in Germany today?

George G. Geppert

hollyaswee — 2009-02-27 04:40:16Z

I am looking for relatives of George G. Geppert from Germany (1850-1926). George married Katherine Blum and traveled to the US around the time that my Great Grandfather Otto Geppert was born. Documents state that George was from Diersburg, Germany area. I can trace back a couple more generations, but after that I dont have any other info. George Greggory Gepperts father was George Geppert and Mother Theresia Moeller. I am intersted if we still have family in Europe. If you have any information please contact me.

I am looking for information on my great-grandfather's (Otto Wilhelm Ebel) sister's family. His sister's name was Mary Ebel and was b. 1913 Fairmount City, Clarion, Pennsylvania d. 2006 Apollo, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania.

She was married to John Koval b. 07 III 1905 Ohio d. New Kensington, PA.

She had two children. Ronald Koval b. 28 IV 1930 Latrobe, Westmoreland, PA and Eric Geppert.

I am wondering if this Eric Geppert is connected to your Erich Geppert.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

janice_decker — 2005-09-29 04:30:36Z

Sarah J. Fisher states she had 11 children and 3 are alive in 1900. Know children are Mary A., Emma, Merrit, Mereland, Clara, Ethel, and Leone. Believe that Ethel b. March 1876, married Alvin E. Griffith b. March 1874 and lived in Detroit Michigan in 1900. Living with Ethel in 1900 are her parents, but they are back in Pentwater in 1910. Abraham and Sarah came from Williamsport, Pa., were they lived with oldest daughter Mary A. in 1860. In 1880 Sarah appears in Armstrong Twp., Lycoming Co., Pa. (near Williamsport) with all above listed children except Mary A., and Jacob 98 lives with her and is listed as father to her. Since Abraham's father should be around 96-98 and was named Jacob I believe this Jacob to be Abraham's father. Sarah's parents are Andrew and Amy Hill of Lycoming Co., near Williamsport and then Sonestow,Sullivan Co., Pa. Merrit married Minnie Theresa Geppert and had two children Glenn A. Fisher and Pauline D. Fisher. M. Theresa Geppert had two sisters that I am aware of Eva and Laura Geppert. Glenn married Gladys Brandel. Would like to connect with Sarah and Abraham's family, I have a great deal of info on Sarah's sisters.

Re: Geppert

2005-09-24 18:03:18Z

The Cincinnati family spelled the name the same way and some city records have the name spelled goeppert or geoppert. It was common to add the "e" when dropping the umlaut.

Re: Geppert in CIncinnati

Branlon — 2004-10-19 11:36:52Z

Good news, we're researching some of the same families. We know the Mangold and Stetter families owned and operated a Liquor Store downtown Cincinnati in the 1860's. Are you related to one of these families?

Re: Geppert in CIncinnati

2004-10-18 20:35:41Z

I think there is more to this than I can put together right now. I think it is Andrew's sister Mary born in 1838 who married John Binder at Delhi's Our Lady of Victory parish at around 1855. I believe they named one of their son's after him. Andrew Binder born in 1862 married Franziska Stetter. She was the daughter of Fredrick Joseph Stetter and Anna Maria Mangold. The dates I have on these two can't be correct. I'll have to double check.

Re: Geppert in CIncinnati

Branlon — 2004-10-15 02:31:41Z

Records show Andrew Geppert and Gertrude Mangold were married 30 Oct 1867 in Cincinnati at Our Lady of Victory Church. Later, on the 1880 Ohio census, Andrew born in Ohio, was 40 years old with his wife and five children: John A., Willie S., Edward G., Matthew, and infant Francis. Gertrude Mangold was our great grandfather's younger sister. She immigrated to the US from Bavaria with her parents and siblings in 1850. Any connections?
