I have no info for Barbara Pesch (brick wall), only that she married my uncle John Roy Withrow (1886-1929) in 1910 in Santa Clara, California. Who were her parents? Where and when was she born? Etc. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Janet,

I don't know if you are still searching for information on Herbert Pesch, but I have a photo of a Herbert Pesch that would have been taken sometime in the early-mid 1920's. He is with my Grandmother, Marie Gallery; her sister, Teresa (Tess) Gallery; Dora Slek, Helen Buresh and a Mrs. Prooter. I believe the photos were taken somewhere in Iowa. (My family is from Iowa.)

He appears to be roughly the same age as my Grandmother (b. 1899.) I may have someother photos of him as well -- I'm going through photos I got from my Grandmother. She had the photos labeled.

Maybe this is the Herbert you are looking for? If so, I'd be happy to send you electronic copies of any photos I have of him.

Doing some research on my family and clicked on Pesch. Thrilled to see your name. I'm not a true Pesch but listened to Joe for hours about your family. Wish my family was as easy to trace. Are you still raising dogs?

Ozaukee County, WI Pesch Family

PTrinkner — 2005-11-27 00:58:50Z

Forrest, you mentioned that your ancestor, John Pesch lived in Fredonia. My great-grandfather was Henry Pesch who was a farmer in Fredonia. He married Elisabeth Beckius in the village of Waubeka, Ozaukee County on May 17, 1867. Henry's parents were Dominik Pesch and Barbara Nepesch or Nepish. Do you know if John and Henry were related?
It's easier for me, if you answer me at:

I was wondering if anyone had any Pesch ancestors who settled in St. Louis, Missouri during the mid to late 1840's. I've got a Frank X. Pesch, son of Christopher and Sophia Pesch, who was born in 1848 in St. Louis. Frank had an older brother Herman.

Christopher and Sophia moved to Peoria, Illinois some time around 1858.

Orginally my Aunt Gert said her name was Paszki, but more sources point to Pesch. Magdelena Pesch b. 1857 Poland, Germany d. 1941 Chicago, Il. She actually lived in the apartment downstairs from me, but before my time. She was married to August Parchem. They had childern: August, Joseph, Julius, Elizabeth, Gabriella, Mary Parchem. I know little more. Thanks, Joe Jeka

Hello! I'm looking for information about the meaning of surname Pesch and about my grandfather: Zenóbio Bohdan Pesch, he was born in 1909 in Austria . He arrived here in Brazil in 1910 with his six brothers. His father was called Andrew Pesch . If anyone know something about his father or the origin of the surname, please contact me.

My father was John Leo Pesch b. 7/13/1933 Plymouth indiana.

His father was Leo John Pesch b. 11/11/1884 Plymouth Indiana.

His father was Peter Paul Pesch b. 1848
married to Elizabeth Kleimer b. 1858

His father was Peter Paul Pesch
married to Suzanna Jacoby

At some point in the 1970's some Peschs from Peshtigo WI gave my dad's cousin some family tree info for the Pestigo Peschs. I think my aunt figured how they were connected, but maybe not. I have all of this info somewhere. Most of it in a GenProg.

Contact me for more info.

It is unclear which John you are talking about as you replied to my and Adrienne's messages. The John Pesch I mentioned was my father who married Devra Miller-Jones, my mother.

I do not know if Adrienne's Pesch family is connected.

Theresa
Nicholas died before Joseph
Joseph b.11/14/1898 Dunkirk NY
------Lived in Dunkirk NY till age 5 when family moved to Peshtigo WI.

Suzanna Pesch

It would seem that my grandfather and Leo J. Pesch of Pestigo were first cousins

Hi Joe, I know a couple of Joe Peschs and wonder if you are one of them. One lives in Wisconsin and the other in Texas.
As far as I can determine my G- Grandffather came from Belgium in 1846.I have been unable to make any connections in Belgium yet. My first official document is his intent to become a citizen and he listed Belgium as his place of birth. No other offial docments other than deeds and census have been found. I am in contact with other Pesch Families that are having the same problem. Please contact me at opapesch@centex.net Regards, Forrest
