Tag: Johann Georg

Two Centuries + Two Decades Old

June 25, 2022

It is not often that I get to write a story about people that were born as early as the two who are discussed in today’s post. They were each born after the turn of the 19th century in Germany. These two were then part of the original immigration that arrived in America in 1839 … More Two Centuries + Two Decades Old

John Koch – Teacher and Organist

April 18, 2022

One of the original immigrants arriving as part of the Gesellschaft in 1839 was Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Koch. I find his story to be interesting because he was a teacher. I suppose I am partial to teacher tales. As I proceed to tell this story, you will discover that it begs some interesting questions. They … More John Koch – Teacher and Organist

A Sittner/Mehner Pair

December 18, 2021

The surname, Sittner, has appeared in some posts on this blog before, but I think all of those with that surname have been women. I know that I had to make a new folder for the Sittner name to store the images I found for this story. I don’t have to make new folders very … More A Sittner/Mehner Pair

Stengel: A New Name – An Old Name

August 30, 2021

I am once again a little frustrated today. After researching a name based on a special event that supposedly took place on August 30th, I now have discovered that date might not be correct. It was even a wedding that our German Family Tree says took place on August 30, 1846, making today the 175th … More Stengel: A New Name – An Old Name

A Gruber Group Mueller

August 21, 2021

You will read a story today that includes a man by the name of Gottfried Mueller. Before I get any farther, let me display 3 names that appear in the book, Zion on the Mississippi where it lists the immigrants who were part of the Gruber Group. That group arrived in New Orleans in November … More A Gruber Group Mueller

More on “A Seelitz Wedding”

August 7, 2021

Very early in the history of this blog, a post was written titled, A Seelitz Wedding. That post was a mere 3 paragraphs long and included just one image of a church record. I am returning to that story today because much more can be said about the couple that resulted from that very early … More More on “A Seelitz Wedding”

A Mueller from Mueller-Mueller Mates

June 12, 2021

The groom in the highlighted twosome today was Wilhelm Heinrich Christian Mueller, who was born on June 17, 1857. That means next Thursday, he would be celebrating his 164th birthday if he was still alive. What makes William interesting is the fact that both his parents had the same surname before they were married, just … More A Mueller from Mueller-Mueller Mates

Alfred Grosse and His Two Marie’s

April 26, 2021

There were two Grosse families that were part of the original immigration group that arrived in Perry County, Missouri in 1839. Both Grosse families travelled to America aboard the Johann Georg, but they were not on that ship at the same time. One group of Grosse’s was made up of 3 shoemakers and their mother. … More Alfred Grosse and His Two Marie’s

Justine’s Bicentennial Jubilee

March 4, 2021

The name of Justine Grebing has appeared in quite a few posts on this blog. In fact, back in 2016, the first year of this blog’s existence, I wrote a post titled, Grebing/Göthe, which highlighted Justine’s marriage. That post was written back in the days when I was a rookie in the blog game, and … More Justine’s Bicentennial Jubilee

In Search of the Lost Gruber

November 19, 2020

Today’s post was written by our great friend, Fred Eggers. I know he has been working on this research for a long time, and I’m excited to see his results. ================================ Joseph Immanuel Gruber, the youngest of Pastor Carl Friedrich Theodore Gruber’s eight children, was born on November 19, 1838, but until I started searching … More In Search of the Lost Gruber
