Do You Have The Answer?

 

Volunteering and helping out is a vital way we can make this website as productive as possible.  I encourage everyone to share in the creation of this site.  Please look below and see if there you can answer these questions.

This site is owned by Angela Gartner.

I would like to know if anyone would be willing to do a look up for from the following:

Franzosen and Husaren Census. 

Please email me at the following if you can help.  angela.gartner@telus.net  (I am looking for Rollhauser information)

 Who were Johan Adam’s Parents?

 

If we figure this out we can finally link our family trees to the 1850 Volmer Census.

If someone has any mention of this in their family tree, documents, or bibles please let me know!

 

Thanx

Who are Joseph Roth’s parents?

 

JOSEPH ROTH SR. b. 1844 in Russia  d. 1920 in Sask.  He married  ANNA MARIA [GRAF] ROTH in Russia and they had 4 children.  *I do not have a birth date for ANNA MARIA who was born in Russia.  She died in 1932 in Sask.

Their 4 children are:

 

1. KATHERINA ROTH b. 1872 in Russia and married PETER ANKER in Russia.  I do not have a village for the ANKER family.

2. JOSEPH ROTH, JR. b. 1876 in Russia and immigrated to Sask. Canada in 1908.

3. MAGDALENA ROTH b. 1881 in Russia and married ANTON KUDEL in Sask.

4. ANNA MARIA ROTH b. unknown and no other information.  

 

I recently discovered a ship list with the names of JOSEPH ROTH, SR and FAMILY and JOSEPH ROTH, JR. and FAMILY showing the last place of residence to be VOLLMER, RUSSIA.

 

 

The problem I have with the 1850 census is that there are three {3} JOSEPH ROTH' s that were born abt. 1845 and 1846 any of which could have married ANNA MARIA GRAF. 

 

1. JOSEPH ROTH b. 1845  Parents are JOSEPH ROTH b. 1817 and wife MAGDALENA FROSCHAUR b. 1820

2. JOSEPH ROTH b.  1846 Parents are MICHEAL ROTH b. 1822 and wife MARIA ANNA RAGENGARD b. 1824

3. JOSEPH ROTH b.  1846 Parents are LORENZ ROTH b. 1812 and wife MAGDALENA ACKS [SACKS] b.1815

 

What I need IS ONE MORE CENSUS AFTER 1850 or clarify who the above Joseph’s married.

 

 

If anyone has any information please contact Marcella by email.

When were Joseph Prediger’s parents born?

 

I have found information supporting the fact that Joseph (b: 1861 Volmer) parents were

Joseph Prediger and Klara Elizabeth Seibel,

but with out the names of their parents or birthdates I can not match this family to the Prediger family in the 1850 or 1834 Volmer Census Documents.

If anyone can help me please

 

 email me

 

 Thanx!

Does anyone know who the following are?

 

Johannes Sieben, 35

Katherine, 33


I found them listed in the Elis Island Database.  They departed Buenos Aires aboard the SS Verdi, and arrived in New York on March 30, 1913.  The comment was that they were joining father in Saskatchewan.  Also traveling with them was Peter Kolman, 23, wife Elena (Helena) 19, dau Katherina 4months old.  Their comment read: joining friend Henry Sieben in Canada.  Therefore I conclude that Johannes Sieben’s father must be Henry, but which one?
