I have Mary Ellen Jerman in my family history. She was the daughter of Thomas Jerman and Kathryn McTigue. Mary Ellen is the oldest of the 11 children in her family. She was born in 1873 and died in 1930. Are you related to Mary Ellen Jerman? I would like to hear from you and we can share family information.

Porthmadog15 — 2006-09-18 09:07:41Z

Can anyone please help me contact Ann Griffiths who previously posted a message to your site re Richard & William his brother. I have tried to email her via the Jerman project website but all mail is being returned. I have contacted Gareth Jones about this and have also sent him some information - currently waiting for his reply.
My Gt Grandmother on my father's side was Mary Emma Jarman daughter of above & I believe that Ann and I are related. Would also like to contact Bethan Sian Fenn Gaunt as her mum is my 2nd cousin & I would love to exchange information with her & Ann. Any help in tracing both of them would be much appreciated.

Re: Origin of Jerman surname

okuspeak1 — 2006-02-15 19:13:35Z

The Jermann's I am trying to connect is John and Mary Jermann of Ohio. They came from Switzerland in 1868.
John was born in 1848.
They listed they had 10 children. in the 1900 census with 9 living. I have a Fannie Jerman that married a John Hinderman which I believe is Josephine Jermann. There is also a Marie or Mria that married a Albert Henderman that went to Washington after 1900. Can you help?????

Re: Origin of Jerman surname

okuspeak1 — 2006-02-15 19:13:35Z

Franz,
Where did John come from? I mean, what part of Switzerland?
Can you tell me if John is related to any other Jermans that are in Independence, Ohio? Are you related?

Re: surname : Jerman of Portland,Oregon area

patriciajerman — 2005-11-04 14:29:28Z

Was in Llanidloes, Wales this summer, tracking my Jerman roots, and was told by someone there that there were Jermans in Oregon who came from Llandidloes. Yours? Mine left there in 1840's. Weavers, seeking better circumstances as industrial revolution sent looms out of homes and into factories. One of "ours" was Mary Ella Jerman, born in NYC 1867...any tie? My gggggrandparents were Thomas and Mary Jerman. Cemetery in Llanidloes was full of Thomas/Mary combinations...for what that is worth! If Mary Ella might be yours, I have civil war pension records of her father, and some pictures of Llanidloes I can share.

Jerman family bible

patriciajerman — 2005-11-04 14:29:28Z

Looking for family bible of Daniel Jerman, born 1837,Llanidloes,Wales, came to NYC sometime before civil war. Great aunt (Elsie) Mildred Jerman said the bible ended up with Nelson Tompkins, son of Emma Jerman (born in 1860's or 70's) and Harrington Clarendon Tompkins. There were several Tompkins daughters living in Charolttesville area in early 70's...am hoping one of them knows whereabouts of bible, and will share info. Thanks!

Re: Jerman family bible

patriciajerman — 2005-11-04 14:29:28Z

Thanks for your response and sorry to be slow in returning. The bible we're looking for was reportedly last in the hands of Nelson Tompkins, (son of Emily Jerman Tompkins) and, now, presumably, one of his daughters (who are such distant relatives that I'm not sure of names, and have no idea of whereabouts, or if they're even still alive.) However, I keep hoping it might surface in some unexpected place. If your father's family has had it for a long time, probably not the one we're looking for, but here is some info, just in case:

It probably included Daniel and Thomas Jerman, brothers born in 1835 and 37 who arrived in NYC from Llanidloes, Wales in 1851 with their father Daniel, possibly mother Ann and older brother Edward. The line the bible stayed with was Daniel's--Agnes, Thomas Edward, Ann, Jane, Emily, Edna, Llewellyn. The brothers married two sisters, Agnes and Margaret Scott, so the bible could begin with Scotts if it originated on the distaff side of the family. Any of this sound familiar?

Dittingen/Zwingen - USA

ClaireSpinelli — 2005-10-10 22:11:01Z

My great-grandfather Hieronimus Jermann (1849-1914) arrived in US approximately 1878 and settled in New York. About 8 years ago, I learned that he had six brothers that "went west." Thanks to a wonderful e-mail from Franz Jermann of Dittingen, I now know that those six brothers were named Franz, John, Paul, August, Joseph and Meinrad. According to Franz, as of 1908, Heironimus and Paul lived in New York - the rest lived in Ohio (Independence). I believe that several descendants of these brothers continued on to Oregon and possibly Washington. Several postings on this website refer to this family and I would love to hear from you. Please contact me at: jcspin@optonline.net

An unidentified descendant of Reid Jerman (great-grandson of James Alonzo Jerman) contributed a DNA sample to the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation. The markers on this sample match 26 of 28 markers of a sample provided to the Jarman DNA Project by a participant whose ancestors were from north Devonshire England. These results are available at http://www.inct.net/~german/dna.htm

Re: Jermanns in Ohio

2005-03-09 18:59:15Z

I am the oldest daughter (Susan) of Eleanor Rogers Jerman.

I have a picture of a relative, several years old, that was an Olympic Sharpshooter, from the village of Dittingen.

We had a family reunion here in Cleveland, Ohio around 1980 (give or take) and had several relations attend from Switz.

My grandfather was Fred(rick) and my grandmother was Bertha.

I am anxious to find out whether or not we are from the same Jerman line.

If any of this seems to match, drop us an "E".

Thanks so very much,

Susan

Hi Barbara,
I found a GREAT resoource in Franz Jermann of Dittingen, Switzerland. I thought my great-grandfather lived in Bern but it turns out that info was wrong. Franz and I still keep in touch via email so I will contact him and ask if I can give you his email address. He did say quite a few from the village went to Ohio and thereabouts. Feel free to email me....and GOOD LUCK !!

Jermains from Switzerland

2003-08-04 14:12:56Z

I wonder if you have any information on Peter Jermain of
Bern, Switzerland, who emigrated to the US in the latter 1840's or early 1850's with his family. Peter's wife's name appears to be Magdelena Halbies (?) and they had a daughter, Mary (my GG grandmother) born in 1828. They later moved to Sheboygan, Wis.

Thanks!!

Re: Edward Jerman

2002-09-20 02:30:06Z

Sorry. That's too early for my crowd. According to notes my mother took from Tredyffrin Township History by Ward, T.E., vol 6, there was Thomas Jerman who came from Wales in 1699 on William Galley from River Towy, Wales. He died in 1740. There were three people in his party, but doesn't say who. He was a noted quaker preacher and a miller. Built mill (still standing...very close to my parent's house) in 1710.
He seems to have had only daughters. First grandchild born in 1713. None of this helps with your Edward, but perhaps Thomas came with a brother, who in turn produced Edward.

Our Jermans came from Llanidloes, Wales, which is in Montgomeryshire, near Radnor, Wales. Since the mill that Thomas built in 1710 is near Radnor, PA, and one of the counties in the area is Montgomery, I've always assumed that the Jermans who came in late 1600's came from same area of Wales. Wish I knew something more helpful. Good luck!

There children are John, Mary, Joseph, Josephine, Aloys, Leo Maggie, Joseph, Louis, and Julius. I'll be going to Ohio in November. You said I could find information in Independence, Ohio.

Re: Jermanns in Ohio

jermaga — 2005-03-13 05:53:00Z

Yes, we are relatives. My grandfather, Louis Jerman, was the brother of your grandfather, Fredrick Jerman. I think it was 1979 when Franz Jermann visited us in Chicago from Switzerland. From the Ancestry.com message board, you can see Franz responded to some of the messages from Dittingen Switzerland where he still lives. My father, Louis Jerman Jr., has gone to visit Franz on a number of occasions.
