Rothlisberger (no "e") North Dakota

RymRytr — 2007-10-17 19:10:26Z

I work with a gentleman here near Seattle. His family comes from North Dakota (Mandan area) and he says that he belives that someone dropped the "e" when they were being processed throu immagration. His grandfater was called Jake and he has an Aunt Sally, still living. I see that there are some from Minnisota area that don't have the "e" either, but with my years of experience, spelling is open to "interpretation of the ear"! :o) Any direction you can give will be appreciated. He is a Chaplain in a County Jail and I think it would be fun for him to have some family history. Thank you. Bud (Rym {rhyme} Rytr {writer}.

Roethlisberger's Switzerland to PA

storej — 2007-01-22 22:28:44Z

My great-great grandfather was Albert William Roethlisberger (1874-?)who emmigrated to the U.S. from Switzerland as did his brothers Ameil/Emil (1879-?) and Ernest (1884-?). Their father was reportedly a judge in Switzerland. Albert married Sophia Dinker (1871-?) (we think Dinker was the maiden name) and had four children; Albert William (1899-1976), John J. (1901-1995), Anna W. (1903-1980), and Sophia (?-?). If anyone can shed any light on where the family came from in Switzerland I would appreciate it, as well as any ancestors or descendants. Emil's draft card says his birth town but I can't quite make it out, it looks like LOUnm?OA, Switzerland. Email me at storej@monroeville.pa.us.

Re: Roethlisberger

jacobsonsea — 2006-03-17 03:15:46Z

The closest I can get to that with my line of Roethlisbergers is Christian b. Sept 3 1801 m. to Elizabeth Aeschlimann b. May 27 1801....children are:
Anna Barbara, Elizabeth, Christian, Katharina, Elisabeth, Magdalena, Maria, Ulrich, Theresia

I would suggest researching through the LDS church records under Julius Billeter research notes on the Roethlisbergers of Switzerland

Re: Roethlisberger

2006-03-07 04:37:40Z

Ulrich was Christian and Elizabeths son. They also had several other children. I know that Ulrich had a brother Gottlieb, because he named my grandfather after his brother. I think there was also a Simon Peter, a sister Magdalena (they called her Matty) there was a sister named Lizzy. There was several others, but I can't find my information.

Re: Roethlisberger

2006-03-05 01:39:43Z

Doesn't seem that our lines cross anywhere that I can see...I have many Ulrich's and Elizabeths in my family Roethlisberger but none match the dates you gave me....who was Elizabeth married to as by the dates I am assuming Ulrich was her son...

Re: Roethlisberger

2006-03-02 02:29:11Z

My Ulrich was born Dec. 12, 1858 in Switzerland. I don't know what Elizabeths last name was but she was born1813 and died 1891 she is buried in the Levenberger Cemetery at Edgehill, MO. Christian was born 1816 and died 1895 and he is buried at the same place

Ok if you are talking about Christian Roethlisberger who married Elizabeth Aeschlimann who had a son Ulrich b.March 20 1841...than Ulrich would be my great great grandfathers brother in which case I can take you back 6 more generations...let me know if this is the right line and I will send you lots of info

Re: Roethlisberger

2006-02-26 23:56:46Z

Amanda,
If you can pass on that information please let me know. My grandfather was Gottlieb Rothlisber son of Ulrich Rothlisberger, son of Christian Rothlisberger and Elizabeth. That is as far as I have gotten. I have been trying to figure out who Christians parents are.

Ulrich was one son, he had a brothers Simon, Gottlieb, Peter and there could have been more, he had sisters that came to the U.S. around the same time named Lizzy and Mattie and I think there was an Anna B and maybe a few more sisters.

Sheila,

Sorry for the delay in responding - I am looking for a Roethlisberger who married Clara Nelson.

Clara was born May 1898 in IA. I was told that Clara Roethlisberger had two sons. One of Clara's sons was named Elmer. I was told Elmer, at one time, lived in the Peoria, IL and was the only one who had information on his mother's family (Nelson's from Denmark). I think Elmer Roethlisberger was born approx. 1930's.

I wish I had more information but all I have is verbal information from a distant cousin. Please let me know if you have a cousin named Elmer Roethlisberger.

Re: Roethlisberger

2005-07-29 13:10:10Z

Do you have any information on a Roethlisberger married to Clara Nelson? In my records they had a son, Elmer Roethlisberger and lived near Peoria, Il approximately 1943.
