I received info from Mary Carabin that pinpointed Rosina's maiden name as REMLEY/REMMELE. I was just wondering what your sources were. This is because her grandson, who'd be expected to know her maiden name, said (incorrectly) that it was FISHER. Do you know of any siblings of Frances? I've got a Charles and Blondina (Blanche), who married Jacob GOSSMAN. Jacob and Blondina had at least one daughter, Emma.

Ruth Reed Look Up Results - Frances had the following siblings- Blondina GOSSMANN, Louis, Sophia SIMON, Benedict, and Charles. The death certificate of Louis FREY was my source. Louis died 10 Jun 1925.


Surnames: FELLOWS, HASKINS, LANG

I have pursued a branch of my family that came from Clarksfield Township for many years with scant results. My great-grandfather, Frederick J. LANG, was born in Clarksfield in 1845 to a Betsy FELLOWS. She is noted in the history of Clarksfield available through the Huron County web site. The passage that refers to her mentions her father, Eleazor FELLOWS and also notes that she married a man named HASKINS, later a man named LANG and "went by the name HASKINS here." Eleazor is listed in the online index to Huron County cemeteries - I believe his entry is on page 40. Much FELLOWS information is documented in our family records. All we have on Mr. LANG, who has always been thought to be my great-grandfather, is his name, Frederick. The 1850 US census has Betsy living with her father and children. My GGF is listed a five years old but with the surname HASKINS. This suggests that the mysterious Frederick LANG is not my ancestor but that, perhaps, he married Betsy FELLOWS post 1850 and, perhaps, adopted my GGF. I have not been able to find any other facts about the HASKINS, FELLOWS, or LANGs. Finally, it might help to know in what cemetery Eleazor FELLOWS is buried. Then perhaps I could connect with the church to get a track on a marriage between Betsy FELLOWS and Frederick LANG.

Judy Baker Lookup Results-- This may be a long shot. You may notice that the only child born in Ohio in the 1850 census was Frederick. The four girls were born in NY. That means they migrated from somewhere in NY after 1842 when Lovina was born and 1845 when Frederick was born. If you search 1840 New York for Fellows, Ele* in ancestry.com, you find a Eleaner Fellows (it looks more like an s than an n on the image) in Chautauqua County, Carroll Township, Page 90 (Town of Parma actually). He's the right age, between 60 and 70. Searching for Haskins, you come up with four possibilities in the county and township. Only one, Jairus, has three young daughters -- 2 under 5 and 1 age 8 to 10. His wife is between 30 and 40. He's in the Town of Carroll, Page 92. Neither Eleaser nor Jairus appear in 1850 census in NY. Jairus even using soundex appears in no state in 1850 index. Ele* Fellows in 1850 for all states gives you Eleazor Fellows in Huron County, Clarksfield Twp. I don't know what access you have to census records, but if you want a transcription, let me know. The 1840 NY film is M704_271. You didn't mention Betsey in 1860 census. Frederick Lang 16 appears in the H/H of Betsey Haskins and Lovina Haskins. Also living in the H/H is her daughter , Cordelia, with husband, Lewis Ingraham and two boys, Frank and Charlie. I think Charlie may be her husband's son by previous marriage based on age and birthplace. This is in Clarksfield Twp, Huron Co., Ohio, page 292 Film M653_991. This doesn't solve the other part of your mystery but it gives you a few leads. Please let me know if anything comes of them.

Surnames: PAULE, PAULI, SCHISCHKA, SCHISKA

Date posted: Sunday, April 6, 2003

I am a descendent of German (PAULI/PAULE) and Austrian/Bohemian (SCHISCHKA/SCHISKA) ancestors, with both lines settling originally in the Norwalk area after their immigration to the US. Since I have a young child at home, I do not have much time for "on the road" research, so am hoping that the online sources and the e-mail lists will sustain my research until I am again able visit the various courthouses and so on that are so important to our projects. In the meantime, I am hoping that some of you may have information related to the SCHISCHKA/SCHISKA and PAULI/PAULE families during their time in Norwalk, and can also provide the answer to one of my longtime questions. What brought the German and Austro-Bohemian immigrants to the NW Ohio area? I know my SCHISCHKA line came to Ohio in the mid-1860's and the PAULE line probably preceded their arrival. My family still lives in Ohio - and I love the state so I'm glad the ancestors settled on Ohio as their destination - but what drew them all this way?

Julie Waites and I are kind of baffled by something here and we're hoping someone on the list might be able to contribute something. Her ancestor was John P FREY who, according to records, was the son of Jacob FREY and Noburga MAIER. My gg grandmother was Frances FREY and she was the daughter of Jacob and Rosina FREY. John P was born in the late 1830s. We have the same Jacob FREY being born in 1811 and dying 3-16-1872 in Ridgefield Township OH. It is clear we have the same Jacob FREY but it gets a little confusing. John P would have to be a minor in 1850 but Jacob and Rosina are listed as having just one child, Charles, who was a year old at this time. Any suggestions?

Ruth Reed Lookup Results-- Jacob and Rosina were married in 1847. She immigrated from Baden in 1847. Jacob could have been widowed before that time. Try and find a record of that marriage and death of Noburga MAIER FREY. John P could have been raised by a family member such as grandparents, aunts or uncles etc. Jacob was 37 years old when he married Rosina. That gives him time for previous marriages. He was ca 28 in the late 1830 so he was old enough to have been married then. The mother of John P could have died in childbirth. Single fathers didn't have the resources of today to sustain life for a infant. They were often given to the nearest nursing mother to raise.

Could someone check pages 109 and 114 of the cemeteries book for Huron Co. and give me the dates for Samuel and Elizabeth HARTMAN and Solomon and Sarah HARTMAN from those pages? Solomon and Sarah SWICKARD HARTMAN were Samuel's grandparents.

Thank you so much for the info on David MEYERS. I can't find him before he got married to Cornelia. He just disappeared. I wish I could find his parents and where he was born. I've found his named spelled MEYERS (census) and MYERS (my GGrandmothers birth record, and cemetery index), so I have to consider both for now.
