My line ties with yours at Johann Friedrich Hecht and Anna Engel Maria Hattendorf, my g-g-grandparents.

Johann Friedrich Hecht, born 28 Feb 1813, immigrated to USA in 1844, and changed his name to John Frederick Hatch. He died 20 Jun 1879 in Cicero, Onodaga, New York, USA.

Anna Engel Maria Hattendorf, born 30 Oct 1818, died 1896 in Syracruse, Onodaga, New York, USA, immigrated 2 Jan 1845 to USA with 2 children,
1.(Friedrich Ludwig Hecht) Louis Hatch
b. 16 Nov 1841 #20, Horsten...Germany
d. 5 Feb 1912 Fayetteville, Onodaga, New York, USA
and
2.(Heinrich Friedrich Conrad Hecht)Frederick Conrad Hatch
b. 28 Feb 1843 in #20, Horsten...Germany
d. 10 Jul 1915 in Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, USA

There were 6 other siblings, all born in New York from 1845 through 1859.

I descend from Frederick Conrad Hatch, my g-grandfather.

Do you want any more information on the Hecht/Hatch family in the USA?

I am the grandson of Owen Raymo Helm and Mildred Helm (Shirley). I remember many of the Helm names that you mention and I knew Howard and Dorthy Helm well.

I am the great-granddaughter of Emma Marie Bremer Knick. I have several photos of her including her wedding photograph. My mother was very close to her grandmother and I was raised in the same town, Britton, Oklahoma. I spent time at her home and have a lot of personal information about her. I set up her memorial on Findagrave. Her mother and father both died before I was born. I do have a photo of her mother.
Your name is familiar to me so I am assuming we have communicated in the past.
I found this site because a Giga Alert search set up for Johan Bremer.

I was just searching the internet for my German grandparents' ancestry and there it is! I have all some misinformation but since I'm third generation, I'm sure facts are stated differently through the years. My father passed on in 2005. It all comes back to me: names, dates, photos. Thanks for allowing me to reminisce of what was! :!time:

Hi Ted and Verna,
It's been a while since we corresponded. I am happy to see that some of the old Russel, Hitzemann, and Claus family photos I submitted made it on to your website. Your work is quite astounding and you should be quite proud of the website. It always nice to here from cousins, no matter how distant.

Family history is addictive to many of us. The amount of information available to us all is ever growing in this electronic age.

Regards, Jim Russel

My great grandparents were Jacob & Theresia Bornschlegl who came to American from Germany. I'm very interested in finding any stories of their lives or of their ancestors.
Thanks for this.

Because of a death in our Laseke family this week I was looking on the internet and Google brought up this genealogy info. I am also working on our (Laseke) family genealogy--started by my father-in-law in the 1960s. It looks like we would have several connections.

Please share any special sources we might find useful. We did have contact with a Laseke relative in (East) Germany a few years ago.

I can also add some descendent information.
