Feb 19, 2008 What's New? I've added several names to the following lines: Keller, Deenean, Bothun, Jarvis(Gervais). View the REPORT and/or INTERNET TREE below to see these additions. I've also added the biography for Lester A. Jarvis and Israel Jarvis have been added to the bottom of this page. I've also added one new photo; KELLER/DEENEAN FAMILY CHRISTMAS 1920 Fianlly!!! I now see my "Keller" ancestors!! I'm thrilled to see what my great-grandparents to my ggg-grandparents as well as great-aunts and uncles looked like! ================================================================ July 23, 2007 I've had some claification on a couple of people... A. I found the origins on the surname BOTHUN from Norway. The name, Bothun, refers to the farm my family lived on before they came to North America from Norway. Their original surname was Aslaksen/Aslaksdtr. They took on the name, Bothun, when they left Norway. I don't know why. 1. I've been seaching for the German origins for the surname, Huebschwerlen (my father). I received an email as the following: The name is primarily found in the province of Alsace, where it is spelled HUBSCHWERLIN. Alsace (in German; Elsass: capital; Strassburg, in French: Strasbourg) has passed back and forth between Germany and France down through the years. Today, Alsace is located in northeastern France. The Alsatians are, however, ethnic German. 2. Regarding John Henry Miller (Johann Heinrich Müller) and brother, Jacob Miller (Jakob Müller). I've had information as to their place of birth being Kassel, Hessen, Germany. While seaching through Germany ancestry sites and boards I received the following email answering my inquiry: The Müller brothers were born in what was until 1866 the state known as Electoral Hesse (in German: Kurhessen), the capital of which was the city of Kassel. As an Electorate, the state's reigning monarch was an Elector (in German: Kurfürst). From its capital city, the state was usually referred to simply as Hesse-Kassel -- to differentiate it from the neighboring state of Hesse-Darmstadt. (There were two Hessian states: Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Darmstadt. Don't confuse either with today's new post-World War II state of Hesse.) Old U.S. censuses named either country or state of birth, not city or town. The entries in the censuses thus refer to the state of Hesse-Kassel, not to the city of Kassel specifically. The former state of Hesse-Kassel covered an area a little larger than twice that covered by the U.S. state of Rhode Island. I should also mention here that there was no unified country Germany until 1871. So if Johann Heinrich Müller served in the Army prior to coming to America, that would have been the Electoral Hessian Army, as there was no "German Army" yet when he served. One more thing: "Hessen" is simply German for "Hesse", just like "Deutschland" is German for "Germany". ================================================================ WELCOME!!! Welcome to my family tree! This has been a long time coming and now that I've been searching I've have had many pleasant surprises. Some of the names that I'm searching for are as follows... Keller, Deenean, Miller, Bothun, Aslaksen, Aslaksdtr, Huebschwerlen, Hubschwerlin, Breckenridge, Brackenridge, Braikanridge, Vigdal, Munson, Rupprecht, Bull, Jordan, Bones, Crossett, Grasser, Richards, Ess, Hayward, Hayes, Jemison, Pawling, Murry, Murray, Ratliff, Reed, Roll, Rolle, Role or Rolf, Roosa, Salle, Tucci, Sloan, Jarvis(Gervais), Beaudry, Croft, Demaree, Garrison, Kunst, McClennen, De Jongh, De Bohun, Campbell, Setleg, McClean, Ruthven, Stewart,...just to name a few. |
