Hamburg - Mekeel

jerrymekeel — 26 Jun 2007 5:44:09 GMT

Hi, I'm new to searching family history. I thought I'd start with what I knew on my mother's side. My mother was Betty Marie Hamburg, Harmon, IL. She married James Edward Mekeel. Mom's brother was Fred Hamburg. My Grandfather was also named Fred or Fritz, who married Verna. I know this isn't much to start with but I'm learning.

Reply any information here or to me at j_mekeel@yahoo.com

Jacob Gustav Gallois - Hamburg

loimagil1 — 21 May 2006 8:52:37 GMT

Jacob Gustav Gallois married Emilie Rodatz in Hamburg. They had 13 children. 4 of those children were boys, Gustav born 1814, Emil b: 1822, Adolf b: 1822 (busy year that one) and William b: 1830.
William is my Great Great Grandfather.
I am trying to find out when Jacob (who was French - possibly Jersey) came to Hamburg and if there are any descendants of the other 3 boys who may be able to help me.
Long shot but worth a try.
I believe Emil went to the US and I know Charles came here to Australia.
Thanks if anyone can help.

Frank C moved to Chicago and had 4 sons, Charles F., James, Lovando D and Frank C. Jr.

stevecroft90 — 15 Apr 2005 6:16:13 GMT

Can any one help? I've been looking up my Hamburg Ancestors for some time but to no avail. Namely my Ex Wifes Grt,Grt, Grandfather, a naturalised British Subject from Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. She has hit a massive brick wall. ( To make it more difficult ) They were Jewish. - Not because of their Faith/ Origin,) but it means they were not on the records as i believe Quakers were exempt too.
Anyway Joseph hamburg married sophia sworrp, Josephs father was levy, so dutch records are also hard to deal with.
Joseph & Sophia were marrid in the Grand Synagogue of London, in 1864.In the Parish of st. James, Whitechappel.
In the couty of LONDON. Joseph aged 21, & Sophia Sworrp aged 19.
Joseph was a dealer in jewllery.
Fathers were LEVY HAMBURG.(Deceased)
& ELIAH SWORRP. (DEALER)
Thet were living in 6 Windsor Sq?

(they were both on the 1881 British census, but cannot get any futher, i've tried some jewish records , but nothing yet!
Sorry to go on, but i've tried to include as much detail, as we know.)
If you can help, i would be willing to return the help, in some way. THANKYOU< SO MUCH!

Harmannus Ritzman, Hamburg area, circa 1708

Natalie Burrows — 3 Jun 2003 12:59:07 GMT

I am seeking information about my ancestor, known in this country as Harman Ritzman (later Richman) thought to have come with early Palatine migration to New York. He married French Huguenot woman in 1712 in NYC and moved shortly to New Jersey.
His nephew, Ulrich Otto, posted a message in a German language newspaper, looking for him in PA some years later. Nephew said he was from Am Dester (Sester) Deich, then about 4 miles from Hamburg. Harman Ritzman first went to Russia to set up a factory for Peter the Great before coming to New York.
His sons were: Jacob, John, Ulrich (Oeldrich) and Michael. He was supposedly born in 1686 and died, leaving a will, in 1744. It is possible that he was of earlier Dutch or Scandinavian ancestry and may also have been known by a patronymic.
Thanks for any help.
