Hessen Germans
« on: Thursday 08 September 22 23:36 BST (UK) »
Today, I was went and searched for my german ancestors. I can't find anything when they where in Germany (Except for Marriage in 1848)
Their names are:

Philipina Heoch
Born:1825 Hesse, Germany
Died:1890 Paterson, New Jersey, US

William Meller (Wilhelm Moeller)
Born: October 14th, 1828 Hesse, Germany
Died: 1905 Paterson, New Jersey, US

They had 5 Children.
If you can find any record of them, I'd appreciate it.

Best Regards,

Lucas

Hi Lucas,

Do you have any idea about the town(s) they were born in? Hesse(n) is a state. It would help to know roughly where in Hessen we should start looking.

Thanks,
Karen

Hello
Christening from the Presbyterian church in the USA may provide a clue to where they came from.
Wilhelmine Phillipine born 23 June 1871 d of Wilhelm Moeller of Red?maashussen  Hesse and Phillipine Hoech.
Wilhelm born 20 Feb 1868 ditto of Oed/Ced maashausen Churhessen and Philipine van Ja
Catherine Elizabeth 1853 13.11.1853 Bisch hausen  bri Escwege im ? Hessen and Phillipine of Mannshausen bri Eschwege
Emille 4 Nov 1855 the same.
Peter Frederich 12th April 1857 Bisch hausen bri Escwege im Ruof Hessen and Oedmanshausen bri Eschwege
Catherine Phillipine 25 Dec 1858 the same
Phillipine Catherine 28 July 1861  Ottmanshausen
Wilhelm Joohann born 12 Nov 1863 Schieder and Ottmannshausen

So they came from somewhere near Escwege.
other trees have Meissner with a German double s which is just west of Escwege.

Hi Sarah
yes, it is annoying.
Some people do not intend doing anything themselves.
They post a request and expect everything to be delivered without lifting a hand themselves.

I´m out. It´s up to him now
Regards
Dave

Shame about all your hard work, Dave and ciderdrinker.

Maybe we should bear this in mind, for future reference:
