my grandfather was James Peter Hartung. He died in 1980. He married Elsie Malone. I believe they were married on 6/14/1929. He had 2 children, James Jr. or Jimmy but was called "Sonny" born i believe 10/30/1930. Then had Katharine Ann Hartung, my mom, who was born Sept 12th, but i don't know the year. She married a Richard Crist. His father was named Hans Hartung i believe the full name is (Han Christian Johann Peter Hartung)born 8/11/1876 his parents were Andrew Hartung & Christine Weis. He married Marie Chartrine Otzen born 5/8/1877. Had 5 kids, Christopher, Marie, James, Andrew, Christine. came to states 1918. I think this is all correct. I know for sure about James Peter hartung married to elsie malone and the 5 siblings. I believe the one sibling "Marie" married name is "Jensen"?? "Christine" married name is "Peterson"? Lived at 1 time in Petaluma. My notes show a Ellen Hartung now an Archie & Ellen Christian??? I don't know how that relates. I had some old photos and I believe thats how I came across that name. Is your grandfather James Hartung still alive? my grandfather lived near fresno california.
My grandfather came up to live with us in Spokane, Washington for a bit and died here. It sounds like we have the same information??? Was your grandfather married??? Where did he live? It sounds like the same person as the siblings you just can't get any closer than that! My name is Diana and would love to hear back from you.
