Hi! I'm attempting to track a line that's proving very difficult. I have only gotten to this one man and no further. His name is Josef, also spelled Jozef. He was born in Germany, Jan 16 early 1890s and died abt 1952. He arrived in about 1910 and had a wife named Clara Fries (spelling changes often) can anyone help with him or even possibly correct any info I may have?

Please help me find nore information on the above mentioned family.

Franz Kainz and Maria Aloisia Hofner

gmbuckalew — 2011-03-28 15:41:07Z

Hi -
I JUST found out that my great, great, great grandfather was Franz Kainz from what is called Autriche (I'm assuming is Austria). I am finding VERY little info on this side of my family so I'm trying to contact anyone I can to get help on this. This is what I have so far:

Franz Kainz (no dates)- married Theresia (no maiden name/no dates)daughter: Marianne Kainz (1785-1847 Autriche)
Her daughter, Maria Aloisia Hofner )1924-1988 Germany/Florida) (my grandmother)/married Allan D Burke (1925-1991 New York/Florida)
Their daughter Sylvia Jean Burke (1952 Germany)/married David L Deitze (1953 New York)
They had me Gretchen Maureen Deitze (1979 Kansas)

If anyone has any info on my relatives I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm so afraid a lot of it has been lost in WW2 but I'm trying to stay positive. Thanks,
Gretchen Deitze Buckalew
Atlanta, GA

KAINZ / KOPPI ~ from Tadten, Wieselburg & Wallern to Minnesota

SOX295 — 2007-11-27 23:08:50Z

Looking for information and/or contacts regarding Andreas Kainz (b. 09/1850) in Tadten, Wieselburg that married Anna Koppi (b. 01/14/1852 - Wallern)in 1876 at Wallern. Anna was the daughter of Jakob Koppi and Barbara Gerstl. The US Census lists country of birth as Hungary which I believe Wallern (part of the Burgenland) was Germany - West Hungary up until 1920/21 and then became part of Austria. There were 8 known children born to this union all here in the USA. I have some information about Anna's parents, but nothing on Andreas's. Hoping someone can help. Also, if you might have information on descendants that would be appreciated also.

Johanne - The only Richlich's I have in my mother's old address book are Angie's relatives and one for Frank Richlich. email me at: gfritz@mirealsource.com and I will give you the details... Does the name Janet Low mean anything to you?

Re: Kainz Germany

GailFritz949 — 2007-11-02 00:41:18Z

Hi Johanne -

I came across something and had to race to the computer to reply! I have a letter dated: Montreal den 30 Oct. 1964 written in German (the old fashion, scribbly looking stuff) and signed: Famielie F. Richlich. It is on a piece of paper about the size of a post card. I will try to get find a scanner and have it sent to you but I will need your email. So yes, we are cousins in some fashion! Do you know anyone that reads old German writing? I have a stack of stuff that was my grandmother's. She died in 1968 and my mom was a pack-rat!

What's more interesting is I believe your Frank Richlich may have attended my mother's wedding in 1949. I have her scrapbook with the name M&M Frank Richlich - Canada. Were there any other Franz/Frank Richlich's that you know of?

suny30 — 2007-10-30 21:33:25Z

Hi Gail,
Just trying to make some sense out of this. Am I right is saying that your great-great grandparents are Johann & Rosalia Krunckel. Franziska married Johann Kainz on Nov. 23, 1884 in Glitt, Solka, Bukovina.

If this is correct maybe you can tell me what the difference is between Glitt, Solka, Bukovina and Glitt Soceava bukovina which is what is found on my grandfathers passport.

Being from Detroit are you familiar with the Richlich in Michigan? If you what can you tell me about the eldest ones that you know.
Johanne

Hey. My e-mail is hdangee@hotmail.com I'd love to see what you have. After I look through that I'll fill in whatever you don't have. Then if you want we can work on it together to try to fill in whatever holes we both have. I have a great Aunt who I am going to visit soon who remembers an awful lot about the family. Hopefully she can help us as well. Look forward to hearing from you soon.- Angie

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-29 20:22:44Z

I am sure that I can offer you something that you would like. I have put together a word Doc with all this info on it can you confirm if your hotmail address is still valid. I would only be to pleased to send it to you. If you like you could forward it onto Gail.

Johanne

Re: Kainz Germany

hdangee — 2007-10-29 20:01:42Z

That's what was missing for me. I only had Johann & Francizska for the children of George and Anna Maria. So that is where Robert came from :) So is the Franz who was born in 1907 Robert's son? My line goes through Franz Richlich & Katherine Kainz to their son John Henry, my GGrand Father. Do you know the birth or death dates for Robert and subsequent children? Are you stumped on certain people I can maybe help you search for? Thank you for filling in that blank. It's nice to meet you, we must be cousins, I believe Gail and I figured that she and I are 3rd cousins once removed.

Re: Kainz Germany

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-29 19:21:24Z

Let's see. This may help. You mentioned earlier that you went back to Georg Richlich (born 1779-died 1844)
he married on Nov 3rd, 1834 Anna Maria Baumgartner, they had Theresia born Oct 18, 1835 who married Andreas Schreiner. They had Mathelde, Barbara, Rosalia, Johann, Joseph, Srefan, Eduard, Albert Schreiner.

Georg may have remarried to unknown woman, they had Johann Richlich (born ?-died 1884)he married Rosalia Kruckel, They had Ludwig, Franziska, Franz, Robert, Aloisa, Katharina, Sigmund Richlich.

This Robert in my great-grandfather. Does this help at all?
If not ask away? I am sure together we will find it.

Re: Kainz Germany

hdangee — 2007-10-29 17:31:02Z

Hi Johanne,
I'm glad there is a match. I'm having a hard time seeing it though. I don't have a Robert, but I see that Gail says he is a brother to Franciszka. Is that right? Gail and I worked out our connection about a year ago, she has some wonderful pictures. One of Francizska. I have about 7 or 8 generations of the Richlich line but if your's is through Robert, I don't have it. Maybe we can help each other fill in blanks?

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-29 17:14:30Z

Hello Gail,
Nice to meet you cousin. They say the world is a small place, this is a pretty nice way to meet the family. The more I look and find information, the more I want. Sorry Art Rich does not ring a bell. Have you tried looking on Familysearch.org. That is the first place that I found any information. Did not make the link then, that was 2 years ago. But I have found out so much more in the past year. Thanks for your help. Johanne

Re: Kainz Germany

GailFritz949 — 2007-10-29 16:31:10Z

Hi - I don't know if you saw my post above. But your Robert Richlich is a brother to my great-grandmother Franziska Richlich.

You had mentioned in the other post about finding some Richlich's in Detroit and couldn't seem to find anything more. I am from Detroit. After my mother passed away, I found a business card on it in the name of Art Rich, my mother wrote a notation that he was cousin to my grandfather. Perhaps, some of the Richlich's followed him and had their name shortened?

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-29 16:09:27Z

Hello,
Actually you have confirmed everything that I already had. It is a direct hit. I am from the same line. As I mentioned to Gail, there doesn't seem to be any information on the Richlich once they came to Canada & continued their families there.

He & his sister Olga were here. They have since both passed away. He also brought over Anna Richlich Prosser's daughter.

I did find some more of them in the Michigan Detroit in the States. I am trying to figure out where the link to my family there is. In 1957 my grandfather did go visit some cousins there, Mom just doesn't remember their names.

Thanks in advance for any little piece that you can confirm of offer.
Johanne

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-29 15:55:40Z

Hello Gail,
We are talking about the same family. For some reason there is no mention of Franz Richlich (my grandfather) because he fled to Canada at a young age. I knew of most of names you mentioned including Engelbert, Heinrich, did not know about Adolf the two older girls.

I have found alot of the Richlich's that are in the State by way of Melissa data.com, but you also have to become a member to get their information.

I have seen the Bukovina Site and will be signing-up. thanks.

Re: Kainz Germany

GailFritz949 — 2007-10-27 21:35:03Z

BTW - Robert Richlich is a brother to my great-grandmother Franziska Richlich who married Johan Kainz.

Re: Kainz Germany

GailFritz949 — 2007-10-27 21:31:40Z

Hi Johanne - I found Anna Richlich in the Bukowina Society's database but it doesn't list a Franz Richlich born on March 5th 1907 - an oversight perhaps??

Robert & Josefina had 5 girls according to the information there...Maria, Rosina, Katharina, Anna, and Olga.

Re: Kainz Germany

hdangee — 2007-10-27 18:04:15Z

Hi Johanne,
I don't have a match for any of the names and dates you have. I'm sure that there is a connection somewhere down the line but it's not here. The Richlichs I have been able to trace start with George Richlich born 1779 Glitt,Solka,Bukovina. Married to Anna Maria Baumgartner born 1806 and their descendants.Have you looked into the Bukovina Society of the Americas? I found a ton of information on that site. If you haven't searched that one, it is a membership based archive but it's only $15 a year. Sorry I haven't been more helpful. Let me know if you have any more questions :)

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-27 15:42:24Z

Hi Angela,
Thanks for getting back to me. Anna Richlich was born on March 24, 1914 born in Glitt, Bukovina. She is the daughter of Robert & Josefina Hoffmann. They had 2 girls. Anna married Emil Prosser Feb 26th, 1933 in Glitt. She passed away in 1990 in Wien.

My Grandfather Franz Richlich was born in Soceava, Bukovina March 5th,1907 passed away May 6th, 1973 in Montreal,Qc.
Thank you for the time you have given me.
Johanne

Re: Kainz Germany

hdangee — 2007-10-25 19:17:52Z

Hi Johanne,
I have heard mention of an Anna but haven't been able to tie her in. Could you give me more specific details? Do you know birth or death year for Franz or other family names tied into him? I have a Franz born in Austria in 1869. Schaffhauser doesn't ring a bell for me. Sorry :)

Re: Kainz Germany

suny30 — 2007-10-25 17:28:53Z

Hello Angela,
After being knocked over by all the information found on this site, I still need more. You must have seen some of the info on this site. I am also a Richlich but in Canada.
Curious about all ancestors. You mentioned Anna Richlich, she was my grandfather Franz Richlich's younger sister. I know that she had 2 daughters one of which lives in Canada, would you happen to know who the other girl was? Any other info or dates of their immigration to the USA would be greatly appreciated. Does the name of Anna Schaffhauser mean anything to you or your mother?
Johanne

Re: Kainz Germany

GailFritz949 — 2007-07-20 20:22:06Z

Sorry, I don't have a Ludwig Kainz in my records. There were several different families of Kainz in the area. My mom had told me that they were 2nd-3rd cousins to my grandfather, but I don't know anymore than that.

Re: Kainz Germany

Dougherty_family — 2007-07-16 20:26:14Z

Hey Gail, nothing so far . Which e-mail address are you using ? Try both hdangee@hotmail.com and dangee@comcast.net .

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-31 00:46:40Z

OK Angie - I sent it again. If you don't see it in your "IN" box - check your junk mail. (My email account is a business account and sometimes it gets sent to the recipients junk mail box.) Post again here if it doesn't come through.

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-30 23:51:12Z

Actually Gail, now that I look at it I didn't get an e-mail from you Sunday , they were all dated Friday . Sorry, maybe you could resend it . -Thanks, Angie

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-30 22:04:48Z

Hi Gail . I did get your e-mail and I sent you one with some pics in it . I'll try to send it again and hopefully it will get through :) - Angie

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-30 19:55:23Z

Hi Angie - I sent you a long email on Sunday - did you get it? I only ask because I have been having trouble with people receiving my emails. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-26 20:17:52Z

Angie - Can't wait to hear from you - I went home and looked at my mothers old address book. It lists John and Jennie Richlich of Grand Rapids along with their children...Ed, Bob, Dolores, Jenny and Jerome P. Let's figure out where the exact connection is....

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-26 19:09:42Z

Angie - Enjoy your days off! You can email me at gfritz@mirealsource.com

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-26 18:33:12Z

Hey Gail ! I really hope these two are related . I am from Grand Rapids, Michigan . I have the picture on a disc and am sure that it will be no problem to e-mail it to you . I am not sure about the year although when I look it up on the disc there may be a date with it . I believe it was taken in Grand Rapids in my grandparents home. I can't wait to get into this more thoroughly but I am leaving town for the weekend in about a half hour . I will be back probably on Sunday. If I can have your e-mail address then I can e-mail you directly when I get home . I'll send the photo and any other info I have and maybe we can work out a connection . Thanks again ! Have a great holiday weekend ! - Angie

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-26 17:47:05Z

You mentioned a picture of Robert - can you email it to me. About what year was it taken? Do you have any idea were it was taken at?

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-26 17:26:05Z

Hi Angie - I'm suspecting we do have a common thread - especially if you have a record from Bukowina. My g-grandparents were Johan Kainz and Franziska Richlich. My grandfather Frank (Franz) and his brother ROBERT settled in Detroit, Michigan. That's were I live now. I have seen variations of the spelling of Richlich/Richlig. Also, when my mother passed away, I found a business card with the name Art Rich and a notation that it was my grandfathers cousin (probably changed his last name). Are you in Michigan?

Re: Kainz Germany

2006-05-26 16:37:07Z

Hi Gail . i know very little about my Richlich side but I went through some of my stuff and found a Michigan census record from 1920 . In it I have a John H. Richlich born around 1895 from Austria , Jennie his wife born around 1898 and their son Edmund born in 1919 in Michigan. It says that John immigrated here in 1912 . His parents were both from Austria . That is where I got stuck . Plus the picture of the cousin Kainz . It is probably unrelated but the census also lists a lodger named Katherine Lamneck ( Lamneek ? ) from Bukowina , Austria living with them at the age of 40 , she immigrated in 1911. Other than that I have some Richlichs born here from 1908 and later . Do you know what the name of your Great grandfather Kainz's wife was ? My mom remembers an Anna Richlich who she believes was Jennie's sister but is not sure. Hope we have a common thread here :) Thanks for replying . Angie

Re: Kainz Germany

GailFritz949 — 2006-05-26 02:21:13Z

Interesting...My great-grandfather was a Kainz that was married to a Richlich. They were from Bukowina which was a Crownland of Austria in the late 1800's. Do you know more about your family?

Re: Kainz

pollyanna1958 — 2005-08-05 05:58:36Z

Do you have any information on Hannah Joann Marson born in 1829 in KY and married Peter Lampkins also born 1829. They had several children Henry C. Catherine, Bridget, Louisa, I don't have everything in front of me I think there was another child. They also raised 3 of their grandchildren, their last names were Hurbet. Any information would be appreciated. I have gone back to my gggrandparents Peter and Joann Lampkins. When Catherine was born her parents were listed as Peter Lampkins and Hannah Marson and then in the 1880 census she's listed as Joann Lampkins so I'm wondering if her name was Hannah Joann Marson. My ggrandfather is Henry C. Lampkins, grandfather Henry Harrison Lampkins father George Henry Lampkin. I would really like to know about my gggrandmother Hannah Joann Marson's family; her parents siblings their occupations etc.

Kainz Germany

hdangee1 — 2005-08-02 20:59:39Z

Hi . Was wondering if anyone has a Robert Kainz born in Germany . I'm guessing birth year to be early 1900's . I have a photo of him sitting with my grandma Richlich ( of Austrian descent ) and my grandfather McKellar . The photo lists him as cousin Robert Kainz - Germany . Does this sound familiar to anyone ?

KAINZ of Gleisdorf,Styria,Austria

2004-03-20 20:28:43Z

We're looking for any Kainz still in Austria. Franz Josef Kainz,born app.1879 in Gleisdorf,Styria,Austria. Came to Galveston,Tx 4/1910. Last lived in Frankenberg,Styria.Mother was listed as Margarethe Kainz,Gleisdorf.
Julianna (wife) possibly Julia Johanna ,born app. 1873 in Frankenberg,Styria.She had a son,Antonio Kleinschuster,(born app.1905).He did not emigrate with his Mother.
Where is local Catholic parish? Does anyone have a listing for the Gleisdorf Telephone directory?
Also, GEORG and ELISABETH KAINZ and children, were listed on the same ship's log,but were not admitted into Texas.Do you have this fam. in Pennsylvania?Thanks!
