I'm intrigued by your post. My great Aunt Mary Schutz married a Peter Jahn (name was changed to Johns). She was born in France and came here at two or three with my great grandparents Nicholas and Mary Schutz. Mary (Marie) died in childbirth in Cleveland, Ohio in 1893, after giving birth to a daugher Rose, who died several months later.

I don't know if you found another family member or not, but Martha (Jahn) Hoffman was my great-grandmother maternal. If you need any info I may be able to help you as one of the family members found a load of school records and all kinds of other records.

Hi Mr. Jahn,
I was hoping you may know some things about any possible siblings or more distant family of your Jahn's. One of my ancestors is a Robert Jahn. He is born on 21, September, 1857 in Cursdorf, Germany. He dies on 5, February, 1937 in an unknown locale. On 31, August, 1879, Jahn marries a Rosalie Obstfelder from Allersdorf, Germany. She lived from 5, May, 1857 until September of 1943. I am hoping for a connection since you have Jahns in the right area at close dates! Thanks for any notes in advance, Adam Heinrich

Hi
I just joined. I have started searching for my fathers family. My father was Albert L. Jahn, born in the U.S. To the best of my knowledge his father was Whilhelm Jahn, who arrived in the US in New York. I don't know if he and any brothers or sisters. He had a sister named Ann. My father was not married to my mother. He had a wife Named Mary, she had two daughters and one son Albert Jahn. He is now deceased. I have a Brother named Albert, Sisters Jo Ann(not given fathers name), Jacqueline and Mary Lou. Most of these people are residing in the Philadelphia and Delaware county areas. I posted this information because of similar names and birth dates may apply.

Sorry to say, I didn't get much of a reply on these names last Saturday. Dad had other things on his mind. I'll try again when I talk to my Dad late today.
This I do know. Carl, Augusta, Anna, Bertha & Herman Jahn arrived here Oct. 27, 1884 on the Suevia. That was verified with my Dad & through ancestry.com & castlegarden.org. Albert & Emil Jahn were born in Elkhorn Township, Plymouth County, Iowa.

Jahn from Germany

sharryk1 — 2009-04-11 15:55:13Z

I am really having a hard time with my husband's Jahn family. What I have is started with August Jahn who married Aliva Dirly, both from Germany (that all I have on them. Next comes my husband's grandfather, Max E. Jahn. The name was later changed to Yahn. He was born in 1883 in Germany, )don't have an immigration date) but he moved to Saginaw Michiganin 1912. He married Emma Caroline Brandt. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sharon

Re: Jahn, Hopp, Albers, Wetrosky, Munsch from Germany & Bohemia

The only name that sounds familiar is Mueller & my Dad has mentioned Henderson. I'll ask him about these names when I talk to him Saturday.

Re: Jahn, Hopp, Albers, Wetrosky, Munsch from Germany & Bohemia

jeffjahn — 2009-04-01 13:40:09Z

If are Jahns are connected would be farther back so hard to say. We may have other connections though. William & Gustina (Brandenburg) Jahn was the start of mine. They seattled in Henderson County, IL first. Two sisters moved to the same area, Dora Meyer, and Henrietta Polka. He later moved to Keokuk County, Iowa. He then moved to Osceola County, Iowa where he died. One son moved with him their. Another moved to Kansas. His son Henry later moved to Brown County, Minnesota. My Great Grandfather, his son, married a Freida Mueller in Maurice, Iowa. She was the daugther of Henry & Wilhelmina(Ostermann) Mueller. Maurice was in Sioux County close to Plymouth County.

My Dad's Aunt Bertha Jahn married Albert Kowalke & they had 8 boys & 2 girls. His Aunt Anna Jahn married Reinhold Krause & they had a boy & girl. He had cousins in Iowa with the last name of Waldt. I notice the names Jahn & Waldt were spelled wrong a lot & sometimes people spelled Kowalke, Kowalski. Carl Albers was his Grandpa on his mother's side. His Aunt Anna married a Roepke & one of his Aunts married Fred Wink, My Dad was raised in Elkhorn Township, Plymouth County. Most of his relation lived in Plymouth County. They've lived around Hinton, Paullina, LeMars, Kingsley, Merrill. He had cousins in other towns but he nver got to know some of them. His brother is Ervin Jahn & he had 5 kids. They spread out. I know for sure one of my cousins, Diane Jahn lives in Minnisota. I think one of the others moved to California & another to South Dakota. My Dad's sister lives in Florida. We also lived around Aurelia, Iowa for several years. He had some other Jahns who moved to California, Oregon & Washington when he was younger. Now my mother's side adds even more names to the group.

Re: Jahn family in Iowa

Where was your dad born? Does he know the first name of his dad? I have cousins spread out around the country. I haven't met most of them & I haven't seen the one's I did know since 1958. I was born in Alta Iowa & we lived in the Aurelia area & moved to Washington state in 1958. My dad's name is Carl Jahn. His parents names were Albert & Martha (Albers) Jahn. He has a brother named Ervin & sister named Erma. They are twins. I've never met my Aunt Erma but I was told she lives in Florida & had 3 kids & I think my Uncle Ervin lives in Iowa. He had 5 kids. My father is 89 years old. I can go back more. I will try to help if I can. I'm always curious about my relatives since I missed out on getting to know most of them. I've learned quite a bit about the one's who have past on.

All of these names are related to me. I know names & birth & death dates but have very few pictures, mostly tombstones & would love to have more. They all lived in Iowa. I've read threads about them but all are a few years old so I don't know how to contact the writers of them.

My Herman Jahn was born Feb 26, 1881 and died Aug 12, 1926.
He was married to Anna Sparr. He was my Dad's uncle. I know that my Dad had other Jahn relation around. He is 90 years old so if he had any living in Camanche, he will probably remember. He's pretty sharp & enjoys talking about the family. I'll be talking to him on Saturday. I'll let you know if he had relation there.

They settled in Grove City, Jackson Twp, Ohio. August Father was Theodore who may be from Schwarzenberg Germany Rudolzgadt. Theodore died in 1882 was born in 1823. Does this help?

Hello: The Martel's were everywhere, this makes things very confussing. One thing I noted was that the Martel's seemed to carry one family trait, the ears, they stuck out and there was no missing them. My family are the Miranda's of Arizona. My great, great, grandfather's mother was a Martel. He had red hair, green eyes, and originally he said they all came from the Ireland area. What have you been told? I know they all married Native American Women all over the United States, Do you have any old pictures of the Martel's from the 1800's?

Could you please let me know if Mary had a daughter named Isabelle? Mary's name was on her death certificate as her mother (as well as Desiderius as her father. She was born July 17, 1902 in Minnesota. I would love to somehow find our more information about her family.
Thanks so much

Re: Desiderius Jahn b. 11/15/1859 Vienna, Austria

jodyaverill — 2006-12-10 22:15:16Z

Yes! She also had 9 other children. Elizabeth (Lil) born April 18, 1887, Hermonie (Min), born Sept. 9, 1889, Bruno Theodore (Nick), born Oct. 6, 1891, Mary Ann, born March 30, 1894, Leo Rudolph (Rudolph was the name of Mary's brother who also lived in Minneapolis), born Aug. 27, 1897, Dezella (Zella), born Oct. 4, 1899, your Isabella, born July 17, 1902, Frank LeRoy, born Dec. 23, 1905, George, born March 28, 1907, and Lawrence Richard (Bob), born Aug. 20, 1911. Bob was my father-in-law. They are all dead now. My then-husband and I named our son's middle name Desiderius to not lose the name. We called Aunt Lil to ask how to spell it. We were always going to go vitit her to talk about the family history, but never made it before she died. I would so like to just find their parents in Austria!

The family "story" is that they came here on their honeymoon - not intending to stay, but they lost all their money and couldn't go home. I very much doubt that is true since they heades traight to Minnesota and proceeded to have all those children. If they really wanted to go home they would have worked until they had enough money to do so. Mary was Catholic - Desiderius was small and dark. I have the feeling that he was Jewish - a union that would have never have been tolerated in Austria in those days. I think they ran away to America. They may not have even been married when they came here. They were never religious in marriage - it would be interesting to know the truth. I has doen some searching for the ship they came on, but haven't found it - they may not have traveled under their own names.

HI, My grandfather was Wilhelm Ludwig Karl Jahn. He is from Washington County, TX. His Father was Theodore.....Jahn. I have managed to trace the family to a very small city in East Germany, very near the Chech border. I have a variety of records and have the name of a very good geneologist in Oldenberg (N. Germany) where his Mother (surname Ahlers)was born. I am fairly familiar with the geography and took my mother there to visit her homeland. I will be happy to dig up any records that I have if you would like. Also, any info that you might have on the origins of the Jahns would be greatly appreciated. There are quite a few of them in the Austin, TX area and I would love to meet them if they happen to read this.
