Looking for Cluver's of Hannover, Prussian era.
Comment by Tammy Snipes on July 18, 2009 at 6:56pm
I am searching for any Barner or Von Barner information. The only information I have is that they came from Prussia in the middle to late 1700's. I can find my ancestor Lewis C Barner on early 1800's information. I am thinking he was born around 1776 in Prussia. The family story goes that he came to America with a brother but I do not know who that brother was. Any help would be appreciated. My email is tammys2007@live.com

Hi, I'm looking for information on my maternal Great grandfather. I found my Great Grandfather, Cornelius Rah (b:1857, d:1930) who immigrated from Hannover, Germany in 1868. However, I cannot find his passenger records or who he came over with. He would have only been 11 years old. So I would have thought it would have been with his parent or a parent. I have hit a brick wall on this. If anyone would have any knowledge about the Rah family in Germany I would truly appreciate the help. Thank you.

Not all Germans came from Germany!

Scans of Ellis Island records show many - if not most - Germans emigrating around the turn of the century (~1900), and later, were leaving Russian controlled areas of Poland as well as Russia itself.

I'm looking for my husband's grandparents: Dr. Johann Doum (1915-1996) and Nanni Dunselmann (1917-1988). They were both born in Germany but died in the U.S. They had a son Christopher and Ludwig.

Patrice Houck Schadt, stated in her earlier comment that her ancestor died in Monroe County, PA. However Monroe County did not exist and was formed from Pike and Northampton a few years later. Suggest you look for records in these counties, and you might find records of yout ancestor?
