Pittsburgh PA, 1950 - How were the Seebachers and Rebels related to the Blumlings?

ml29618964 — 2013-05-20 19:38:53Z

Pittsburgh PA area - I have a copy of a Blumling Family reunion list from ~1950. Included on the list are: Mrs. Jacob Rebel (I believe her first name was Eleanora, unknown last name), her children Eleanor (Rebel) Seebacher, Ralph Rebel, and Marcellus (mistyped as "Marvellus") Rebel. Also on the list are "Mr. Edward G. Rebel" and "Joe Ann Rebel."
Relationship to these last two are unknown. Can anyone tell me how these people may have been related to the Blumling family?
Update(7 May 2013): in the 1910 Census for Ross Township (a Pittsburgh suburb), I see that Jacob & Eleanora Rebel lived next door to Joseph & Helena Weis. Helena's maiden name was Scheller, and she was the daughter of Maria Anna Blumling. Sometime after 1910, Joseph & Helena would have a daughter, Catherine (birthdate unknown). Could it be that a Rebel married "the girl next door" at some point?
Update II (20 May 2013) Another daughter of Maria Anna Blumling was Margaret Scheller - she married Emil Rebel, and it looks like they produced ~10 children. One of those children, Jacob Rebel (1883-1918) married Elenora (maiden name unknown)- that was "Mrs Jacob Rebel" on the reunion list. Jacob & Elenora had 4 kids: 2 of them, Ralph and Marcellus, are on the reunion list. Another, Elenora A. Rebel, married Sylvester Seebacher: she is on the list as Mrs. Elenor Seebacher. The fourth, Clarence Rebel, married Dolores Seebacher. Is this a case of a brother & sister (Rebels) marrying a sister and brother (Seebachers)?

Hi Ellen - thank you for the offer - yes, any help would be appreciated. Please feel free to give your relatives my e-mail - mmbmj@msn.com
As i said earlier, I am trying to concentrate on how the Seebachers and Rebels may have been related to the Blumling family of McKees Rocks and Sharpsburg, PA. Otherwise, why were they at this 1950 reunion?

Hi, Mark --

I asked my dad Jack Seebacher (who grew up in Pittsburgh) and he reported: "I think a grandchild of Uncle Paul (Grandpap's brother) married a Rebel. The Blumlings i don't know." He also thinks some of his sisters knew a Doris Rebel.

The "Grandpap" in question would be John Aloyisius Seebacher (1885-1971; I met him as a small child); he had two brothers named Paul. The first died of diphtheria in 1878. The younger, (Michael) Paul (1889-1979), was the first owner of Seebacher's Poultry in Pittsburgh -- but my notes say he married Ida M. Steibel, so I'm not sure how helpful this will be to you.

If you'd like me to put you in touch with my dad and aunts to help untangle the Seebachers in Pittsburgh, I'd be happy to. Let me know.

I am a descendant of Joseph Baker, brother of your Helena. I have been researching family history for 20 years and have been in touch with several members of the Springman family. I have also visited our Seebacher relatives in Germany. I would be happy to hear from you.
