Litke - Family History & Genealogy Message Board

Re: North Dakota Litkes

litkes — 2009-04-03 23:16:03Z

Don't know if the information you're looking for is my family or not. But my grandfather immigrated to Canada in 1896 and lived in southern Manitoba somewhere between Steinbach and the US border in the early 1900's. At some point the family relocated to Alberta where most of the family settled permanently. If you would like to explore this a bit more my email address is litkes@shaw.ca.

HI, Murray. I am a son of Leo Litke, Gus's younger brother. Are you doing your family's genealogy? If you are, maybe we can share some information. I'm working on the Litke history, and I live in Edmonton. Drop me a line at:
llitke@epl.ca

All the best,

Re: Alberta, Litke's? 1900

LloydLitke — 2009-01-23 17:54:11Z

Hi. I'm a Litke from Alberta, too. My grandparents came to the Edmonton area around 1891. They were Henry and Wilhelmina Litke (nee Goltz). Henry's father and mother, Frederick and Amelia Litke, came to Edmonton in the early 1900's. I know some things about their history after they came to Canada, but I am trying to discover where in Europe they came from. I would like to get in touch with any members of my family who are investigating the family's genealogy.

My Litkes traveled from Canada to Oklahoma with another unrelated group of Litkes. From Oklahoma mine went to Colorado and the other group went to Kansas. Do you have any other info on your family?

Re: Darryl Litke son of Norman Litke

LLesmom8 — 2008-05-21 17:14:49Z

You might be talking about a different Darrell & Norman Litke then. If you look at the original post, it indicated that he probably lives in California, which is where I KNOW that my father-in-law Darrell Litke lives and his father, Norman Litke passed away approximately 15 years ago. Could just be a coincidence.

Re: Darryl Litke son of Norman Litke

irishpride123 — 2008-05-21 17:09:23Z

No he doesnt . He lives in Edmonton. His dad just passed away.

Hi,
I am a direct descendant of Henry Litke, whom came from Poland/Russia to Canada then down to Pennsylvannia. My mother was Henry's youngest daughter. From what I know Henry and 2 of his brothers ( Gottleib and Gottfried) immigrated to Canada. The one brother went from there to Colorado and Henry and the other went to Pa.
I don't know if they are the ones you are searching for or not. You can contact me at sunshne4pg@aol.com

I know you posted about this so long ago, but I'm hoping that you still work with Germans from Russia. I'm hoping that maybe you have info on my Litke line...

Pls email me at cm-heidi@comcast.net if you're available. Thx

hkwerb1 — 2008-04-24 01:09:33Z

I know this message was posted quite some time ago, but I'm trying to find 2 Litke families...they both immigrated from Prussia (Russia-Poland) and the same time (1896) and both ended up being neighbors in Manitoba, Canada. I think they also both left Canada around the same time, 1909.

Wondering if anyone knew of both families--

Hi--havent been on these boards in a very long time--Curious about the connection--did you know or are you related to my grandparents--Mollie and Jack Weiner--I just remember few of my grandmother's siblings--Dottie, Rae, Rose, Al, Phylis (maybe)...there were about 6 siblings on both sides of the family. Can you tell me how you are related? Are you from the NYC area? My grandparents must have lived in New Jersey at some point, as one of their two daughters (my mom Pearl Weiner Trager, was born in Newark, NJ...i think my aunt might have been as well. ANy info is much appreciated!

Hi Regina:

Sorry for the late reply - since I posted that message I've changed cities and internet providers....

There may be a link - I will have to ask my birth-great uncle about the name of the town in (now) Poland where my Litkes came from.

Also hit the wrong link thing and got a list of your messages. You're a birth mother? I'm an adoptee - Litke is my birth name. I'd love to e-mail with you to talk about what emotions birth-mothers go through...get things from a different point of view.

Please e-mail me at my piperboy66@hotmail.com address if you're interested.

Cheers,
Brian

Re: LOOKING FOR LOST RELATIVES-THE LITKES

2004-06-09 06:24:04Z

I was doing a search for a member of my own family when I came across your old posting (1999) "Looking for lost relatives-The Litkes" .

I am afraid I cannot be of any help in that regard.

My name is Litke, but there is no connection between our respective families. However, there there are some interesting coincidences in the Litke family you were asking about, and my own that I thought might find interesting.

My name is Jack Litke, and I am one of six siblings...five boys and one girl.

My grandmother's name was Molly. She would have been born around 1880 and died in the middle sixties I believe her maiden name was Kurtzman. She also had six children, three boys and three girls.

We were raised, for the most part in Chicago. I am 76, and except for my oldest brother, Harry, who died in World War II, we are all still hanging in there.

I hope your search brought you the information you were seeking.

Regards,

Jack Litke

My name is Kyle Litke, there's a lot of Litke's out here in the Connecticut area, but unfortunately, I'm not entirely certain past my grandfather as to who's who. My grandfather is Norman Litke Senior, my father's Norman Litke Junior (seems to be a popular Litke name, I noticed! :) ). My father has three brothers and three sisters, all of whom have kids, so it's a pretty big group out here.

Re: Litke Origins

LaurelNavinsky — 2008-02-26 00:49:34Z

Hello Murray;
I knew that there were Litke's in Canada. My Great Grandfather John Litke and family arrived in New York on August 18, 1875 on the Cimbria. They came to Kansas and settled near Stong City, Kansas and moved to the Council Grove area in 1876. On the same ship was Friedr. Litke. He was 21 years and a farmer. I believe that this Friedrick went north. Could this be your ancestor?

Re: Litke Family

LaurelNavinsky — 2007-12-25 14:31:11Z

Hello Anneta:
Your Great Great Grandfather Fred was my Great Grandfather John's brother. I do not have much on your family. This is all I have: Ida Kathleen Borkert, born 10-27-1941 in Alta Vista, married Stanley Orton. Married 9-1-1953 in Miami, Oklahoma. I think some of this may be wrong. I do not have any children. Where do you live now? I grew up near Alma, KS. You can reply to my home

Hi there. I just noticed this posting out here, I am Clara's Granddaughter. I have been searching for several years for relatives, and this seems to be my lucky year because I am stumbling across information that I didn't find previously. Any information you have on the Litke family, I will be very interested in receiving.

Re: Locate Adolph Litke

piperboy66 — 2004-12-09 20:13:13Z

Hmm....Prussia is now in Poland isn't it? If so (and my European geography is not what it used to be) then you should look into the Germans from Russia/Poland web sites to get a little more information (American Historical Society of Germans from Russia is one) . Don't know if you have the immigration records as they could shed light upon whether he came alone or with family...........check out the web sites anyway. They will also have info on how you can get either census or church records from Prussia if you want to go that far.

Cheers,
