Hi, Beverly,

I think my ancestry lines have come "full tilt" in this case. The Herzberg's are from a West Prussian line. I would suspect that anyone named Lamb/Wilson would be from the Scottish line - only related to each other by the marriage of my grandparents Giese/Retherford.

As you can see, I have no information on these people in my basic family tree. They were added on by the Ancestry World Tree along with tens of thousands of other people. Try tracing them back to where you find my biographical notes to my somewhat closer relatives.

Sorry I cannot be of much help.

Hi, M. Gilbert,

Thank you very much for the tip. I shall try to follow up on it; the coronor's office sounds like the best bet to me.

The MCRR has changed hands a couple of times and even ceased to exist in the form it had in the late 19th century, but I shall give it a try there as well. I have nothing much to lose by doing it!

Thanks again.

I saw on your Ancestry file that you had listed Henry Franklin Lamb and his wife Mary Wilson. They are my great great grandparents. I would be interested in how you are related to them and if we might be related. Would it be possible for me to see your Ancestry file for this family? I would be interested in exchanging family history.

My name is Kelly Herzberg, formally of Hudson OH. My father's name is David Jeffrey Herzberg born 6 June 1959, northern OH. His father died when he was very young and he has limited information on the roots of his family. His father's name was Noble Herzberg and he was married to Nancy. Any info you can help me with would be great.

Thank you very much for your information. I have indeed found the background of Gustav Herzberg via other channels. However, I have never found an account of the fatal accident. That would still interest me, so at some professionally quieter time in the future, I shall follow your advise.

Thanks again.

Hi ,
I saw your message about Gustavn Herzberg killed on Michigan Central RR . I don't know if this info will be helpful now since you wrote you note in 2005. You may have already found your answers.
My GreatGrandfather was killed by a train in 1860 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The information about his accidental death was a coronor's report in the newspapers.
You might try writing to the coronor in Michigan and ask that they go back in thier records to see if they have any information. Or maybe write to the Michigan Central RR and ask if they have any records on him.

Re: D. L. Dietrich Herzberg - Germany > Iowa

@@kbsgen@yahoo.com — 2006-05-02 18:26:05Z

Thanks, Elizabeth! I actually have photos of the tombstones from the Clarinda cemetery. The mystery for me right now involves D. L. (Diedrich) Herzberg's wife. The tombstone has his wife being Elizabeth Herzberg (somewhere I heard her maiden name was Alwine). DOB per the tombstone is 20 Oct 1817, DOD is 29 June 1887. However, Alice Herzberg Stansfield has the German marriage license (from the Ev. Lutheran Church in Hoyerhagen) for D. L. and a Gesche Cordes - and Gesche's dates are almost the same as Elizabeth's (Gesche was born 20 Sept 1817). Has your research turned up any hints as to whether Gesche and Elizabeth are the same person?
Alice also had that D.L.'s parents were Diedrich Christoph (Christian?) Herzberg (1769 - 10 Oct 1846) and Anna Adelheid Meier (21 Mar 1779 - 18 Mar 1848). Both died in Hoyerhagen, Hannover, Germany, and Anna was born there. Does this help you at all?
As always, I am continuing to search for their ancestors, and any help would be appreciated.

I am researching the Segebrecht families, particularly in Wisconsin. Did a Herzberg female marry a Segebrecht male? if so, can you send me first names, and approximate birth year?

kstahlman — 2006-01-29 05:55:58Z

Hi Arlan:
I think your Sophia Herzberg from the 1900 census is the daughter-in-law of my great-great-great grandmother, Gesche Sophia Herzberg. Your Sophia Charlotte Meier (Herzberg) married Albert Heinrich Herzberg in 1866. Albert's parents were Diedrich Luedeke Conrad Herzberg & Gesche Sophia Cordes.

Since posting the original message 3 years ago, I have done some research at the LDS FHS. There I found several censuses (1855, 1858, & 1861) from Hoyerhagen with the family listed. Gesche's maiden name on the 1861 census is "Kohrs" and on the 1855 census is "Cohrs," at least that's how I read the old German script.

I have quite a bit of information on the Herzbergs, largely from the Page County Iowa book (1984) and a book written by Willard Pulkrabek which has a lot about both the Herzberg and Meier lines. I'll be glad to share whatever I have - just let me know.

My herzberg research is not complete by any means, but if you would like to compare information, I would be glad to help you out. Please e-mail me at Trouble1980hd@msn.com

Gustavn HERZBERG killed - accident on Michigan Central RR, c. 1890

kmrbschmidt — 2005-11-12 05:23:32Z

Gustav HERZBERG was killed in a railroad accident around 1890, perhaps in the West Bay City, Michigan yards of the railroad - but that is only a guess. It is known from the Bay City, Michigan residents register of 1900 that he repaired cars for the MCRR. What kind of accident it was that he fell victim to is, however, unknown.
Does anyone happen to know of a source of records for this type of fatality?

Re: Herzberg, Richard

2002-07-07 16:16:33Z

Dear Randy,
Thanks for your reply...I am as stymied as you! It as a fluke that I came up with the name Herzberg, as I did a search and Ricard W. came up on SSI and his mother's maiden name was Schaufus (no first given). My great grandfather's name was August, but don't know if he had any siblings..but on the Waltham MA city listing, there is a Louis (about the same age as my ggf) mentioned for a couple of years, then gone. He could be a brother, but as yet cannot locate any info on him. I have noticed that the given names in the family tend to repeat (not too much originality on the German side); and August's son Arthur (my grandfather) named his only daughter Pauline..coincidence?? Who knows. The info I have is that August's wife, Ida Seidel, came to America from Bremen through New York on the SS Rhien in December 1852. However, I have yet to find where and on what ship August arrived, but his nauralization papers say July 1852. On August's death certificate his parents are listed as William Schaufus and Caroline Frichie. Don't know if any of this helps you. I never give up plugging away, and if I can find the Schaufus connection, will post a message to you. Lynne
