Gottfried? Bohemia? prior to 1800

JDWalley — 2009-01-04 23:57:19Z

Anyone have Gottfried ancestors from Bohemia? I have hit a wall.

My ancestor Joseph Gottfried b. 1814 oldest son of John Gottfried & Anna Repka immigrated to US in 1849. Joseph m. 1853 Mary Pecka b. abt 1836 in Bohemia. They eventually settled down to farming in southwest Indiana after being in MO, OH and WI.

I found a record that he may have arrived in NY via Glasgow, Scotland. Census records all say Bohemia as homeland, but native tongue was German. So, I assume the family were Germanic and not Czech.

HELP!!

Hinde, Channah, Beneisch Gottfried from Wisnivchek, Austria now Ukraine

doloresrobin — 2008-10-29 21:35:08Z

I am looking for any relations to the people mentioned in my subject. I am the granddaughter of Hinde (Hilda)Gottfried who came to the USA in 1906 on the SS Patricia. Her sister was Channah (Anna) and her brother was Beneisch.
My grandmother, Hinde Gottfried married Nathan Shoenfeld.
My aunt, Channah (Anna) married Max Wagman. Beneisch Gottfried married Gussie Levy. These people all settled first on the Lower East side of New York, and then they moved to Chicago about 1920. We have many descendents. I believe their mother's name was Reise. She never came to the United States. Reise may have remarried and her husband's last name was Pest.
If you have any information I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Not sure if Evelyn, my great-aunt, followed up, but given the reply to your Fischer relative, it seems the connection is Brukenthal where our family is from. If you can pass info about Catherine and her parents I can check if they're in our tree.

Just wondering if Patty and Vickie are still reviewing this post. I would love to connect with you. Clara and I are first cousins and Vickie and I are cousins a couple times removed. I met Vickie about 10 years ago, but haven't been able to get back in touch with her.
She had a great picture of Mary Pecka Gottfried standing in front of their cabin in Indiana. She also knew lots of stories about them all as she stayed with direct decendants in that cabin a few times.
Vickie or Patty if you are still out there please contact me.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Re: Gottfried Family

Greetings, Karen. This I know--August W was the son of Phillip Georg Jacob Wedesweiler, who was the son of Jakob W. I believe this Jakob was a brother of Johann Joseph W. While Johann immigrated to Australia, Phillip Georg Jacob W immigrated to the U.S.A. His son August, my grandfather, lived the rest of his life in N.Y. and California, his profession was engineer and residential contractor. He passed away in 1948.

Emma found

2001-05-03 11:46:28Z

Just thought I'd pass along my information. In locating where Emma's father (Joseph Gottfried) was buried, (St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Cincinnati), we discovered Emma on the same plot...married name (Schoeder)....along with an infant son, Karl Schroeder. She died in 1894 at the age of 22 and her son died in 1993 at the age of only one month, fourteen days old. Sounds sad! Since she died so young, I guess that's why she was never talked about in our family. Anyway, my mystery is solved, but I still feel there's got to be some connection between our two families. Keep in touch if you learn anything.

Emma

2001-03-25 12:59:52Z

Vickie..I've been trying to get in touch with you by phone with no luck. Anyway, very eager to get back to you regarding our two Emma's. Our Emma's father's could have been cousins...it seems a lot of Gottfrieds named their sons "Joseph." Our Joseph (Emma's father) used his middle name,Frank (Franz)...probably to avoid confusion! We only found out his name was actually "Joseph" from the census records. Anyway, if you still wish to explore this, please e-mail me at CMS15@AOL.com. Perhaps we can puzzle this out further. I'd love to see a copy of that letter!
