Monat family in Germany

rsajidah — 2008-12-02 21:32:40Z

I am looking for info on the Monat family from Germany. My great-great grandmother was Catharine Monat(born 1877). She married Gerhard Leuckenotte. Her father's name was Peter Monat Sr.(born 1852 in Germany) My Monat family originally comes from France but went to Germany, possibly due to persecution.

OOPS, looking back on my reply it should be William Stephan Monat b: 1897 and Walter E. Monat b: 1905 in Chippewa Falls, Chippewa, Wisconsin sons of Evander & Sarah Fowlds Monat.

Hello, it has been a while since your post. I am looking for Monats as well. My family legend says that we were French Hugenots and possibly forced out of France when the Edict of Nantes was revoked in 1685. I have found my Monats in Germany (Pirmasens to be precise) in 1760. This is as far back as I have gone however, Pirmasens is right on the French Border so if they were pushed out of France this make sense. Hugenots fled from France into Germany, England, Ireland and America. They basically went anywhere that was safe at the time. Also, see below. Good luck with your research. Please feel free to email me: anna_clarkson@hotmail.com

monat
1. French: unexplained. Perhaps a respelling of Monatte, a habitational name from either of two localities named La Monatte: in Craponne-sur-Arzon in Haute-Loire, or Saint-Bonnet-le Coureau in Loire.
2. Jewish (Ashkenazic): ornamental name from German Monat ‘month’.

Hi Nancy,
I have a Walter Stephan Monat born on January 13, 1897 in Chippewa Falls, Chippewa, Wisconsin. He is the son of Evander J. Monat and Sarah Fowlds. If this is the right connection I would love to hear from you. William would be my 2nd cousin twice removed. You can email me at chipperrae@hotmail.com.

I am quite sure that Walter J. Monat is my great uncle. He would be my father's uncle. My father was William S. Monat. born in Chippewa Falls, WI

Walter J. Monat b. 1871 d. 1949 m. Mary Ann McIlquham b. 1874 MN d. 1936

Walter J. Monat b. 1871 d. 1949 m. ABT 1894 Mary Ann McIlquham b. 1874 MN to John McIlquham & Mary Ann McIlraith d. 1936;both buried Chippewa Falls, WI

Looking for information on this family. Mary Ann was a teacher (probably before marriage). (Walter b. 28 Dec 1871 d. 3 Aug 1949; Mary Ann b. 23 Feb 1874 d. 13 Jun 1936.)

Monats?? Where are you?

I am 16 years old and I am living in Massachusetts. I was wondering where Monats are and what their connections are to Europe. I've been searching, and so far I have found threads to Ireland, Scotland, Poland, Canada, France and Germany. True?
