Gochnauer Newsletter

wagoch — 2008-02-23 16:08:11Z

To all,

If you have already received this please disregard.
I have decided to restart The Trailseekers newsletter. James Gochanour eggbert50@yahoo.com will be assisting me and it will be a joint effort between us. The first issue will be mailed on or about the first of April (That's not an April Fools Joke, either).

The April Issues front page story will be about a WWII pilot that was missing in action whose wreckage location is believed to be near the wreckage of another plane that has been discovered and the process has been started to return the remains to the next of kin. (The other plane "Hot As Hell" was flying in formation with it was located.)

The August Issue front page story will be BO Cohenour Texas A&M 1941 football star and farmer.

The December Issue has not been decided yet. I've got a number of excellent stories to use for the front page.If I receive something from someone that's better then that will go in. So please submit your articles or your discoveries to share with the other researchers.

The price of the newsletter will be $40.00 a year for four newsletters. Most of you remember in the past the newsletter was packed with information and stories about all variations of the Gochenour name. It will be even better this time. Since I will only be putting out three newsletters this year, the cost this year will be $30.00 for this year only..

I've been told by a lot of people that they miss receiving the newsletter. NOW'S YOUR CHANCE. Please, if you are interested in subscribing to The Trailseekers newsletter, send me an email so I can get an idea just how many may be interested. If I receive an email, I will send you an application to fill out with a place for a query, too.

I hope to hear from all of you.

Hi Lael,
I live in Martinez, in the SF bay area.

My grandfather Pembroke drove out here from Virginia in a Model T in the 1920's to become a lawyer. He settled in Berkely, where he raised my father and lived there until his death in 1967.

I seem to recall my father telling me about John Gochnauer from Missouri. I think he might be my great uncle, but I'm not sure.

Are you related to the Church's?

Re: PA Gochnauers

Hi,

My maiden name is Gochnauer, My father was John Gochnauer, born in Missouri. My Grandfather was Harvey Gochnauer, although I don't know where he was born. Most of my Gochnauer relatives still live in Missouri. My dad joined the navy when he was 18 and ended up in No. California, where I have always lived. What part of CA do you live in?
Is there a Gochnauer family tree that I can find?

Re: PA Gochnauers

2004-05-16 22:36:20Z

I'm Adam Gochnauer in California, grandson of Pembroke Gochnauer, born 1901 in Virginia.

I have the old Gochnauer family bible, written in Germany in the 1600's before being brought to PA by the first Gochnauers to sail to America in the early 1700's.

I was never aware that there was a Adam Gochnauer prior to me.

Hi Lael,
We may be related. I note that my g-g-grandfather from Lancaster County had a brother, Adam Gochnauer, who moved to Missouri. Most of the family stayed in Lancaster County, PA. I don't have my family tree info in front of me, but I recall that the family had kept some correspondence from their Missouri relative.

Gochnauers of Lancaster County, PA

2000-06-11 15:40:26Z

My grandmother, Ella Gochnauer, was born in Lancaster, PA in the late 1800's. She had 3 "spinster" sisters, Annie, Elizabeth, ?. They had only one brother, Samuel, who had only one son, Richard (Dick), who has only one son (also Richard?). They inherited the family home in Lancaster.
The family was originally plain-dressing Mennonite, wearing only black and white. My grandmother's generation switched to more "liberal" religions, but Lancaster is still very Mennonite or Pennsylvania Dutch. My family was descended in more than one branch from Hans Herr, founder of Lancaster County.

He maried Louise/Laura Stauffer,born 1846 in PA and died on March 10, 1920 in East Berlin, PA. They had 2 children, Daniel Albert Gochnauer, born April 13, 1868, in East Berlin and died in Baltimore. Another child died at 11 years old.Daniel Albert and his wife Cora Ella Cleaver camt to Baltimore about 1900.I don't know if this is part of your family or not.

Ellen,
I am trying to find a connection to the Gochenour/Gochnauer line from PA, specifically Adams and York counties. I have a Jesse Gochenour born 26 Sep 1870 in York Springs, Adams, PA to Eli Gochnauer/Gochenour. Do you know of a relation to your PA Gochnauers? I believe Eli was born in Lancaster County 1824-1827 and had a brother named Edward. Thanks. Monica coxthmd1@concentric.net

EllenSchaefer — 2001-07-15 03:36:02Z

Hi,

Sorry, it looks like I never replied to you, although I may have sent a reply off the list. My Gochnauers were strictly from Lancaster, from fairly early on. There were several Gochenours who sailed to PA in the early 1700's. So far, I haven't found the link between my family and one of those arrivals. Good luck with finding yours. The first of my line I know of is Adam Gochnauer, born 1790.

Happy Hunting,
