Maria "Mary" KOEHN - born 1842 - GERMANY to TEXAS

1836hyacinth — 2009-09-10 02:30:42Z

I am hoping to find others researching Maria KOEHN, who was born in 1842 at Perleburg, PRUSSIA, Germany. Maria came to Texas and married Christian SCHULENBURG in 1874 at Austin County, Texas. They were the parents of several children, including Bertha SCHULENBURG (born at Fayette County, Texas around 1875). Bertha SCHULENBURG married Herman Ernest RABE in 1896. Maria "Mary" KOEHN Schulenburg died at Fayette County, Texas in 1884. Hope to hear from you!

I can be reached at (601) 529-6078 or ecrms601@aol.com.

Not sure but I am related to a Peter A. Koehn born March 23,1844 in Antonofka, Poland and came over on 1874 on the Vaterland. He was married to Elizabeth Unruh. Not sure if this is your Peter.

PeggyAnnLynn — 2008-08-30 11:04:43Z

Yes! That would have been the Canoga Park house. It was great. As a kid I loved running around there - then Aunt Eva always had a big pitcher of pink lemonade mixed with 7-Up. After that they moved to the Rossmore Leisure World complex in Seal Beach where they lived the rest of their lives. We spent all holidays with them. They were pretty much the only family I had except my parents. I wish I had spent more time with them and learned more about them and the family. Uncle Harry died in 1972 and Aunt Eva died - I think - in about 1978(??)

Re: August KOHN/KOEHN

rbgielow — 2008-08-30 03:40:36Z

Seems to me both those locations ring a bell and around 1959-1960(?) or so. I do remember him being very proud of some of his orange trees and the quality of fruit they put out. Quite a bit of the anecdotal information came from my Uncle Walt who was one of the children of William Kohn and Helena Goegge (George, Gertrude, and Walter). Gertrude was my mother.

Re: August KOHN/KOEHN

PeggyAnnLynn — 2008-08-29 22:31:37Z

I would love to know more about the family. Apparently, my father (Eldred) had some falling out with the family when I was 3 and we moved from New York to California. So, besides Aunt Eva and Uncle Harry (my great aunt and uncle), I've had absolutely no contact with anyone except one of my father's cousins on the Griewisch side (Carl's wife's family). I'm slowly trying to put this all together. My Griewisch "cousin" has been a huge help. During what time period did you visit Eva and Harry? When they lived in Canoga Park or after they moved to Seal Beach?

Re: August KOHN/KOEHN

rbgielow — 2008-08-29 22:12:27Z

Read your information re: Frank. By any chance did he have any history of taking off for the Yukon? Our family lost track of him. If this is the same Frank, then the mystery has been solved. Would love to hear about him.

Best regards,
Bob

Re: August KOHN/KOEHN

rbgielow — 2008-08-29 22:08:05Z

Well nice to hear from someone from the 'family'. The whole group of offspring were William, Frank, Martha, Carl, Hildegarde, Arna, Harry, and Helen. We have some photographs of that stern looking group. Frank worked in a cigar store in Silver Creek NY and took off to the Yukon never to be heard of again. I remember visiting Harry and Eva in the LA area.
I have just started compiling information, some anecdotal, of the family. Would be glad to share.
Best regards,
Bob

Hello Howard Bulgrin,
I at one time had contact with Art Kane, original name was Koehn. He had some info about Garskes and others in Akron, OH. He might have passed on by now. My GGF was Ernst Garske (wife Henriette Pofahl), GF Otto Garske (wife Helen A Dreher), all from Goosetown area of Akron. Also related to George and Bertha (Garske) Miller.

COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

Elmer Koehn, age 96, went to be with the Lord surrounded by his family on Saturday, Jan.19, 2008, on the Royal Slope. Elmer was bom the oldest of 14 children in Lahoma, Okla., Aug. 20, 1911, to Ben and Lea (Johnson) Koehn. He was raised and lived in Meno, Okla., until being drafted into the Army. He was in the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign from 1942-1945. He served with the 142nd General Hospital in the Fiji Islands. He then moved to Blaine, Wash., where he met and married his wife, Susie (Koehn) on June 18, 1946. They resided there until 1968 when they moved to the Royal Slope area. He remained the next 39 years here where he farmed until his retirement. Elmer enjoyed being with his family, reading his Bible and talking politics. We all miss him dearly. He will lovingly be remembered by his wife of 61 years, Susie and their children, six sons, Gene (Rosa), Randy (Jackie), Mike (Brenda), Chris (Lynn), Dale, Chester; all residing in the Royal Slope area and daughter Rebecca Koehn of Moses Lake. Also including 34 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brothers, Paul, Walter, Wilbur, Larry and sisters; Leona, Elizabeth, Alda, Elvera and a host of nephews and nieces. Preceding him in death were his parents; a brother Alvin; sisters; Lenora, Melinda, Alice, Luella; two infant children, Sherwin and Teresa. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2008, at 10 a.m. at Kayser's Chapel of Memories at 831 So. Pioneer Way, Moses Lake. There will be an earlier visitation from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Burial will be at Pleasant Valley Cemetery on the Royal Slope with a graveside gathering. There will be a reception following at the Chris Koehn farm. All are welcome to be with us as we gather for these services to commemorate Elmer's life and home going.

cabishop194 — 2008-01-09 13:43:24Z

I am Carl's granddaughter but I have no contact with any of his family. August's other son Harry (my great-uncle) lived in California with his wife Eva and we spent all holidays with them until their deaths in the 1970s. My father, Eldred, lives in Arizona. I remember the aunts - Arna, Mart, Helen and....??? but mostly only as names. I know at least two of them died at ages over 100 - I last saw Arna in Silver Creek, NY back in 1988. She died a few years later. I would love to know more about the family.

Henry (Heinrich) J and William arrived in New York on the "Moravia" on November 12, 1888. However, I don't have a Charles Koehn in my database. I have more information on my web site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~holtz/index.htm

I now have naturalization records for Henry J, William , and Charles Koehn. All came from Caroline Huf, Mecklenburg, Schwerin, Germany. Immigrated 1888 to New York. Arrival in Nov of 1888. All born in 1850's Can anyone help me on finding info to this area of Germany during the 1850-1860"s? One city sticks out and spelling of city is up for debate. "Farschentin, or Forchintin." We just cannot make out the spelling.

I have Mary K. LeValley of Lockport NY married to Otto Koehn. Contact me off this list because I also have a lot of Washburns who need straightening out. paullevalley@peoplepc.com

Re: Koehn / LeValley

levalley — 2007-10-21 23:11:03Z

My computer has been acting up the last few days, so I was not able to join in the discussion (though I was aware of it). Jeanette LeValley Johnson was the daughter of John Cook LeValley and his first wife, Betsy Wheeler--further ancestry known on both. The 1850 census lists her both at home and at the home of her sister, Adeline Tibbets (who had married their first cousin Douglas Tibbets Sr.)

Franklin Jackson LeValley was another first cousin of theirs. His second son bore the same name, but was known as Frank--and this is the Koehn connection. To further complicate things, the first son, William, married Jeanette's half-sister, Augusta.

You don't want me to even start on the LeValley-Tibbets or LeValley-Oliver intermarriages. Let's just say there were a lot of kissing cousins.

Re: Koehn Family from Kansas

mariahswind — 2007-07-29 06:42:46Z

Lisa,

I found a Hilma J. Koehn in the 1930 census. She is 9 yrs old, so she'd be born about 1921. Among several siblings there is a Robert L. aged 7. They are living in Ursula Twp, Kiowa Co., Kansas. Parents are John P. and Lygia Koehn. He's 39 and she's 30 both born in Kansas. But both their parents were born in Prussia-Warsaw. I can check the other census' if you would like to see if we can get John's parents names.

Kind regards,
Shanan

KOEHN - SCHMIDT- Germany, Iowa, Oklahoma 1880-1930

txfischers — 2006-11-25 09:06:12Z

Who did your Ferdinand William Koehn marry? I am looking for a Fred Koehn who married Wilhelmina "Mina or Minnie" Schmidt. They were in Lincoln, Iowa in 1900. There were 3 other Koehn families in the county, a John, Joe , and Henry. The father , John, was born in August 1823 in Germany. In 1910,1920 and 1930 they were in Antelope, Logan County, OK.

Koehn and Schmidt and Marquardt

txfischers — 2006-11-25 08:52:50Z

I am just starting researching on this family. I have a Fred Koehn, family has date of birth as August 11, 1860 in Mettenburg, Germany who on March 14, 1888 married Wilhelmina " MIna or Minnie" SCHMIDT, born Arpil 1, 1863 in Guttenburg, Iowa . Children were Alvina ( born @1890) , George J. (born Sept. 1893 or Sept 1894), Laura G. born Sept 1896, Mary D or Marie born August 1899, and Hilda born Nov. 1901. All children born in Iowa. Family moved to Antelope, Logan County, OK between 1901 and 1910.
Alvina married Louie Marquardt. I know she had at least 6 daughters, before the 1930 census.

Re: Koehn/Kohn from Federow, Kargow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin

RobertHoltz60 — 2007-03-26 15:00:42Z

I have a Wilhelm Koehn born 1851, Heinrich J. Koehn born 1853, John Carl Martin Koehn born 1856, and Louise Koehn born 1859. All were brothers and sister. All immigrated to the US. Louise went to Wisconsin, other three went to my home area of Niagara County, New York. John Carl Martin Koehn was my great grandfather from Gros Datrow, Mecklenburg, not far from Federow and Kargow. Name was originally spelled Kohn with an umlot over the "o". I suspect that my Koehns were related to others in this thread but am still looking for a positive connection. Replies to my email are OK. Details are at my WorldConnect site at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?o...

Re: Koehn/Kohn from Federow, Kargow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin

RobertHoltz60 — 2007-06-06 00:15:38Z

Lyn,

Wilhelm Koehn, Lena (Linderman), Anna Koehn, and August Koehn arrived at Castle Garden, NY on November 12, 1888 on the "Moravia". The birth date of Wilhelm was 1851 and your Charles Koehn was 1860. This means that they could be brothers or cousins, but not father and son. It is worth further research if your Koehns came from the same area of Germany as mine.
Bob

Re: Koehn/Kohn from Federow, Kargow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin

RobertHoltz60 — 2007-06-07 11:20:40Z

So many Northern Germany Lutherans went to Wisconsin by traveling from the drop off point in NYC, through upstate NY through Ohio and Michigan and finally settling in WI. While many of my Koehns settled in Western NY, some ended in Wisconsin. However, I am still searching for connections with the WI bunch. Appleton, WI, newspaper clippings from my grand-aunt's scrapbook have names that should link to my NY ancestors but I have not yet found those links. Unfortunately the names in Dianne's list don't connect, at least not yet.

Anyone with the following names?; John Koehn, Elizabeth Stark, sons George (Martha Christon), Jacob and Phillip, daughters Anna (Tyne) and Aby (Thiesenhusen). Any information would be welcome.

Re: David Koehn in Volynia

ksmassie — 2007-09-24 00:23:26Z

Update:
I have done some research since this last query went out.

1)Heinrich Koehn b. 8 Jul 1867, Waldheim m. Maria Schellenberg b 19 Oct 1876, Nikoliafeld.

2) Jacob Koehn b 30 Jun 1867, Waldheim, m. Helena Penner b. 24 Sep 1870 Orloff.

3) David Koehn b 6 Nov 1870 Waldheim m. Katharina Wiebe b. 29 Nov 1878, Nikoliadorf.

4) Helena Koehn b. 24 Jul 1872, Orloff m. Jacob Baerg b 17 Oct 1972, Orloff.

5) Anna Koehn b. 2 Sep 1874, Orloff m. Peter Friesen b. 13 Feb 1872, Orloff.

6) Johann Koehn b. 1 Aug 1876, Orloff m. Anna Wiebe b. 29 Oct 1891, Nikoliadorf.

7) Peter Koehn b. 24 Jun 1882 Orloff m Katharina Regehr b. 9 Oct 1889, Altonau.

8) Maria Koehn b. 11 Oct 1885, Orloff m. Abram Wiebe b. 25 Nov 1883, Blumenort.

9) (My Gr Grandmother) Katharina Koehn b. 30 Dec 1887, Orloff, m Johann Goertzen b.15 Jan 1885, Blumenort.(Johann murdered with his brother-in-law, Abram Wiebe and one of his sons in 1922)

10) Gerhard Koehn b. 10 Oct 1889, Orloff m Maria Peters b. 10 Nov 1891, Orloff.

two sisters date and place of birth unknown:

Elizabeth Koehn m Johann Regehr

Suzanna Koehn m Kornelius Thielmann b. 10 Apr 1883 Blumenort.

Maybe this might help with trying to find a connection with our Koehn side.

Re: David Koehn in Volynia

ksmassie — 2007-09-19 03:06:57Z

All of the people listed in my earlier query stayed in Russia when my Grandmother was a very young girl. She thinks some went to Canada after the first world war and my Jakob Koehn and Suzanna Voth died in Russia. Apparently some of Jakob's siblings went to the U.S. No Augusta or Wilhelm were ever mentioned. But you never know.

Re: David Koehn in Volynia

ksmassie — 2007-09-24 17:04:15Z

Mostly my Grandmother's memory, who is still alive, and her mother's family bible. Marriage dates came from EWZfiles which I have access through a local Historical society and a couple dates from the Grandma Database. But mostly from my Grandmother. She is 90 this year so I had to give her one name every couple days. Her mind is stil very sharp. She has some great stories to go with some of the people. We also have a complete picture of all the people mentioned in the earlier query. My grandmother only remembers the first four couples names in the photo. I am glad to have gathered all her info before she passes on.

Re: David Koehn in Volynia

ksmassie — 2006-12-03 19:15:31Z

To add to my earlier query. These are the 12 children under my Gr. Gr Grandfather Jakob David Koehn.Whose father was David Koehn married to a Anna or maybe Maria Wendel or Wedel. (family bible states Anna) Maybe through these grandchildren I might be able to find a connection.

Heirich Koehn and Maria?
Jacob Koehn and Helena?
David Koehn
Johann Koehn and Anna Schwester
Peter Koehn
George Koehn and Maria?
Elizabeth Koehn and Johann Regehr
Katharina Koehn and Johann Jacob Goertzen(my line)
Helena Koehn and Jacob Berg
Maria Koehn and Abram Wiebe
Anna Koehn and ? Friesen
Suzanna Koehn and Cornelius Tealman

I also have a picture of most of the siblings and their spouses. Would be great to find a connection somewhere.

Regards,
Sandi

I, too, am searching the Koehn line. My Hans "Louis" Koehn is the son of Friedrich and Dorothea Wiese and was born Jan 1846 in Hofkangog, Meck. He and his wife, Anna Hinz settled in WI.Do any of you happen to have any info on this line?

Re: Koehn/Kohn from Federow, Kargow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin

Dianne_DeYoung — 2007-06-07 23:28:45Z

I would be interested in the Appleton, WI names. Louis Koehn married for the second time there in Appleton to a Marie Koch Regolin in 1904. She was widowed with 7 children and he was a widower with 3 (although his children were grown). His children were Louis, Lena Minnie, and Elizabeth Dora Koehn. The girls married Cole brothers.

Re: David Koehn in Volynia

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am starting a research for my family. All I know is my grandmothers name is Hilma Rogers. Her maiden name was Koehn. I know she has a brother that lived in Greensburg, Kansas. His name is Robert, he is a mennonite and was married to Lois(?). I also know that my grandmothers parents came over from Germany (not sure the year or the ship). Can someone help me go back further. Thanks.

b1genewich — 2007-02-28 17:28:28Z

I am new at this. I am doing it for my Mom and myself. My Grandmother was a Koehn. Annie Koehn (born 1882). Brother's were Herman Carl (born 1886, wife Kathryn LeValley) and Otto L (born 1888, wife Myrtle Washburn). Arrived in New York 1888. Father and Mother were Henry J. and Beths (nee Wilhelmina). Settled in Lockport/ Bergholts , New York. Annie married Ferdinand Benjamin William Williams.

b1genewich — 2007-10-20 21:52:43Z

Tina, I must do some more digging. You are way ahead of me on that line. I have had some help with what I have on LeValley. I just did more cemetery pics that I have posted. I guess that I need to go a little farther. do you have any info on Lockport New York LeValley that I might be missing? It is a mess. Contact me at bgenewich@aol.com if you like.

I am a relative of a Koehn.My great grandfather was a Kosanke who married Augusta Koehn.Augusta was born in East Prussia in 1867. Her parents were Wilhelm Koehn from East Prussia in 1838 and Augusta Freimann also East Prussia in 1837. All of these immigrated to Oklahoma. I knew Augusta Koehn Kosanke. She lived until I was 16.
I have no idea from we have any relatives in common. It would be fun to try to connect if so.

Re: Koehn Family from Kansas

Hi Lisa,

It is probably best to start with a few general sites.

Resources for German Genealogy on the Internet:
www.germanroots.com

-and-

Introduction and Links to Resources:
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/naturalization/

Also,

www.familysearch.org

When posting a message it is best to give further details such as ages, birth and death dates. If not known, then an approximate year would be good. This will especially be true for a common surname of Rogers. You might find in your research that Koehn will be spelled Cohen or Kohn.

Best of luck!

Re: Koehn

tauntonclan — 2007-10-20 13:07:05Z

I have a Janette LeValley born about 1838 in Lockport, New York. I am looking for her parents and siblings. I don't know what family she belongs to. She is living in the household of Adolphus Tibits in the 1850 census. They are in Lockport, Niagara, New York. Janette married Martin V Johnson about 1855. They have some children there, then move to Lapeer Co Michigan and settle. I'd be happy to share what I have, thanks. Tina

Re: Koehn / LeValley

tauntonclan — 2007-10-21 00:19:12Z

I fell into the LeValley family by accident. I was following Willis Johnson and found his parents on his marriage certificate, which stated mother was Janette LeValley. She states she was born in Lockport New York in 1837. I looked at the 1850 census and she was in the household of Douglas Tibbets in Lockport New York. Franklin LeValley is also in Lockport at that time, and I'd like to put her in his family, but haven't been able to.

Family history says that great-grandfather Charles H Koehn jumped ship (down south) meaning not New York. There were many Koehn's that came in through Galveston TX and New Orleans LA. If he did jump ship there wouldn't be any entry record.
He died in Cleveland OH and believe he had 2 sisters, 2 brothers and possible mother there.
He and his wife and children are on the 1900 Cook County Illinois (Town of Lake) - name is spelled Kahn. May not have been literate in English and perhaps German as well or just went with the phonetic spelling because it was easier at the time.

On the same sheet is another family of Kahn's (Koehn)
All born Germany
Adolph (head) born July 1841 age 58 immigrated 1881 sausage maker
Frances (wife) born March 1837 age 63 immigrated 1881 married 35 years no children
John (nephew) born Sept 1879 age 20 immigrated 1898 beer brewers apprentice

I don't know if the second family is connected to mine or not - or the time frame for your John.

Hi Robert
Do you have immigration dates and port of entry for Wilhelm and siblings? My great grandfather Charles H Koehn was born in 1860 immgrated in 1876 supposedly his mother was a Linderman - wonder if there's any connection to Wilhelm's wife. He was in Clevland OH and Chicago IL
I'm at a brick wall any info greatly appreciated.
thanks
Lyn

Kathy do you know if your earliest Koehn had a brother named Peter Koehn? born around 1806 and immigrated to the Ohio area (about 60 miles south of Elyria)from Prussia?
