JohnFSmeltzer — 2009-03-17 00:05:04Z

Hi JW ... thanks for the post. It would be great to know what your Y-DNA tells us .... have you or any of the other family members you share info with participated in a Y-DNA project? I'd love to compare numbers. And, if not, you or someone else in the line (must be a male with the family surname) could join our Smelser / Smeltzer Y-DNA project at Family Tree DNA and see how all of the pieces fit together if they do at all. We do see that at least one of the family members in one of the Seltzer lines is close to our Paulser Smelser line suggesting a common ancestor a long time ago.

Re: Sulser - Sulcer - Selser - Sulzer - Y-DNA

jwsulcer — 2009-03-16 23:23:48Z

Mathias Seltzer is traced back to Germany, 1600 with the Seltzer spelling. His descendants in this country have surnames of Selser, Sulser, Sulcer, Selsor, Celsor, etc. While not eveyone in this country with those surnames is a descendant of Mathias, there are MANY of us.

Re: Sulser - Sulcer - Selser - Sulzer - Y-DNA

JohnFSmeltzer — 2008-08-23 22:12:08Z

There are some who also speculate that Mathias was actually a Smelser as well. That's where the Y-DNA testing could come in so handy. Maybe you can help me convince one or more of the Sulcer / Sulzer / Sulser clan to join the family project and see.

Re: Sulser - Sulcer - Selser - Sulzer - Y-DNA

tkspi — 2008-08-23 13:54:15Z

It is the opinion of some Matthias Sulzer is the progenitor of the U. S. Sulsers. I will view the info you suggest.

Re: Sulser - Sulcer - Selser - Sulzer - Y-DNA

JohnFSmeltzer — 2008-08-22 22:50:00Z

Hi Thomas, thanks for posting. No Sulser's in the mix yet. Not too many of them around with that spelling these days. In at least some cases we find the "core" name to be Schmelzer (German version) and Smelser (Americanized version) with lots of variability in spelling. You can keep watch by checking the Family Tree DNA website under the Family project surname of Smelser or Smeltzer (I think Sulcer works too). Click on "Results" to see what we are finding.

Re: Sulser - Sulcer - Selser - Sulzer - Y-DNA

My ancestor was John Sulser, b. 1780 SC died 1840 Bowling Green, KY. Would be interesting in any Sulser results.

JohnFSmeltzer — 2008-07-24 02:26:14Z

Has anyone in any of these surname groups participated in a Y-DNA project yet? I would really encourage someone to join our Y-DNA project if you haven't. Who knows .... there is at least a chance that we are sharing surname derivatives. Let's see....Y-DNA will tell us.

PHOTO: Theodore TRAYLER and Lela ELLIS wed 25 Dec 1917

kathy3643 — 2006-09-26 00:49:42Z

I recently bought a wonderful formal picture. The couple is identified as Theodore TRAYLER and Lela ELLIS, the daughter of Lelia Pearl Ellis. This photo was sent to Aunt and Uncle George SULSER. So, I'm guessing that either the TRAYLER or ELLIS family would be related to the SULSER family.

I found Theodore and Lela TRAYLER in the 1920 Census in Justice Precinct, Hemphill County, TX. They have a baby Maxine P. TRAYLER age 1 3/12. Also Pearl Ellis, age 38, is living with them.

I am not related, but I would like to connect this photo with a family member or a family researcher. Please contact me directly if you have an interest in this photo.

Re: Mary Sulser and William Harvey Burns of KY

Hi Mary,

Your Oliver W. Burns wouldn't have happened to marry Anna Elizabeth Schoolfield in Morgan Co., Kentucky would he? Anna E. Schoolfield was a daughter of John Weaver Schoolfield and Frances Anna Dudley. She was born in Virginia and then went to Kentucky and then, I believe to Tenn. after the death of her husband Oliver in 1906. She died in Tenn. in 1918 and is buried in West Liberty, Kentucky.

I would very much like to contact relatives of mine from the Sulser family. Those that I remember were Aunt Goldie, and children - Darrell, Carol, Glenda. I know that Darrell has at least two sons - M D & A D. If any of the family sees this, I would really appreciate a contact. Of the foregoing, only my aunt and maybe Carol may remember me, Glenda was a baby the last time I saw her. I am the grandson of their aunt Ina Sulser Richardson.

John Sulser Obituary

2003-08-05 04:08:29Z

Well known East Lynne man died Sunday night.

John Sulser, 76, was about town in East Lynne is seeming good health, but that night (Sunday) he died. Funeral arrangements have been made awaiting the arrival of a nephew, Junior Hubble, from an army camp in Wyoming, but the possibility was that they would be on Thursday of this week at the East Lynne Methodist Church. Burial at Pitts Chapel cemetery.
Mr. Sulser, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Sulser, Sr. of this community, was born in New York and brought to Cass by his parents when he was about five years old. He was reared in Cass and here was marrid to Miss Ola Hubble, by whom he is survived. Also there is one daughter, Mrs. Opal Strikfadden of Kansas City. In addition there are four brothers, William Sulser, Tacoma, Wash., Frank Sulser, Lone Tree, Chas. Sulser, Drexel, and Fred Sulser, Pleasant Hill.
John Sulser, many years a resident of East Lynne, was almost an institution in that Cass County town. He had followed various lines of work, sawmilling, threshing, filing station and so on, and was well liked in the neighborhood where he so long he had lived.

(Note: On the funeral card for Mr. Sulser’s daughter, her married name is spelled Strickfaden.)

JAMES SULSER

carthh54 — 2006-05-30 22:35:48Z

Damaris Rambo married George Trook 1821 in Union County, IN. They went back to Shenandoah County VA where they had a son in 1826 named James Sulser Trook. I do see a Lydia Rambo married to a James Sulser in 1816 in Wayne County, IN. Lydia died in 1824. Wayne and Union are next to each other! I am trying to find Damaris's family. Any ideas??????
Thanks, Carole

George Sulser

m11775 — 2005-09-10 08:38:37Z

George Washington Sulser was born 9/4/1877. He married Bertha McClusky on 12/22/1909. They had six children. He died after 1967 at his home in Taft, TN and I believe he is buried in Gatlin cemetery in Lincoln County,TN. I am not real sure about that date but I can find out from his son.
Send me an e-mail if you want further info on him or any of his siblins, parents, etc.

Henry Sulser, Natchez Territory

kensappl — 2003-10-05 22:57:20Z

I'm trying to find more family members of George Selser (1856 PA - 1826 Jefferson Co. MS) who might have been in MS Territory at the same time. Henry might be part of the family since "Selser" was also spelled "Sulser". "Letters of Administration Book 1 (Sept. 30, 1803 - Apr 1, 1819)", p. 8, Adams Co. Court House, Natchez, MS, lists Letters of Administration being granted to David Johnson, 15 June 1803, to administer the estate of Henry Sulser. Does anyone know anything about this Henry? Thanks, Shirley

Re: Sulser family in Gadsden AL

lms97 — 2003-08-29 13:00:05Z

I am in possession of a deposition given by a Mrs. SULSER of Gadsden AL about 1897-98. She stated that she had lived in Gadsden 25 years. She had an elderly boarder /landlord named TOM CANSLER, in whose welfare she took a great deal of interest. I am trying to find more information on Tom Cansler and any family he had in the area. He went to Texas 1891-1893 but returned to Gadsden before he died April 15 1897 according to Mrs. Sulser's testimony. Other surnames mentioned: Gadsden lawyers Burnett & P.E. Culli(?), and Mrs E.C. GOODRICH of Palestine Texas. Any information on Mrs. SULSER (husband's given name?) or TOM CANSLER appreciated. I understand Mr. Cansler's mother was a HENDERSON from Pickens Co., SC

Believe in my family tree for SELSOR that "John born about 1759 Shenandoah married Mary Andrick" is one of the children of John H Sr. and second wife mary.
Believe Matthias William Selser/Sulcer was his step brother, son of JH Selser Srs 1st wife

I have 4 siblings for James William.

1. Fannie Sulser
2. Mortimer Sulser
3. Laura Alice Sulser - born about 1860
4. Ann Rebecca Sulser - born about 1861

I have no information on Fannie or Mortimer.

she resided with the Julius W. Taylor family as a servent. Laura married Oliver Holland Shank on 12/20/1882 in Hampshire Co., WV.

Ann Rebecca is listed in the 1870 Hardy Co., Census.

This is all of the information that I can give you on James's siblings.

Hope that it helps some.

Re: Sulser family in Gadsden AL

PhilSulser60 — 2004-11-02 21:56:30Z

This Mrs. Sulser sure sounds like Ellen C. Porter Sulser, b. 11-15-1845 GA d. 8-22-1917 in Gadsden, AL. Wife of Samuel Sulser b. 8-22-1827 in VA d. 10-12-1912 in Gadsden, AL. He (Samuel) is the son of Ambrose Sulser/Sulcer/Selsor and Luela Gibson. I descend from Samuel's brother James Sulser/Sulcer b. VA. I am not familiar with Tom Cansler. From the name, time and place I'm fairly sure this is correct.

Re: Sulser or Hammett / Cherry connection

khenry256 — 2005-03-06 13:51:35Z

I have a Giles Co, Tn. connection to the Goldsberry, Cherry, Campbell, Sulser,Sulcer families. Could these be the same lines??
My Amasa M Campbell married Maria Jane Goldsberry in Giles Co,Tn on Feb 22, 1866.I have a picture of the them which appears to be abt the same time.

Amasa is shown on 1880 Census-- Giles Co., Tn
283/ 286
Martha Cherry 44
Lizzie Goldsberry 39 sister
Susie Goldsberry sister
Amasa Campbell 33 brother-in-law
Lena 5 daughter

Haven't looked into Lena as much as I should. I descend from Amasa's 2nd wife. Alot of people went to Tx then. I'm pretty sure they are connected somehow though. I am also a descendant of George Sulser, Sulcer. Let me know if I can assist somehow.
