I am trying to locate information on an Irma Gugel Dau who was born about 1915 in Saginaw Co., MI.

Re: The Daus of MI IL

briansbears7 — 2009-06-03 15:44:17Z

Everyone,

I see these posts were quite some time ago. I was wondering if there was any further information on the Daus. Laura Dau was my grandmother on my father's side. Her parents were Paul Dau and Margaret Schilke. I know Paul's parents were Henry Dau and Louise Busse, but I can't seem to get any further than that. I'm also stonewalled at Margaret. Does anyone have information on either Henry & Louise or Margaret?

Dora Dau (Germany > Louisville, KY > St. Louis, MO)

Kirkman14 — 2007-12-16 02:59:06Z

Hi, I'm looking for anyone who might know something about one of my ancestors. Her name was Dora Dau (b. abt 1829) and she was married to William Becker (1823-1908).

Dora last appears on the census in 1880, but I have not yet determined her date of death.

On the 1900 census, William is said to have immigrated in 1852. Their first two sons, Frank and Louis, were born in Kentucky (in 1854 and 1857, respectively). Their next child, Rosa, was born in Nov. 1859 in St. Louis, Missouri.

I know Dora's maiden name from son Frank's death certificate. But that's the only evidence I have for it.

Re: SURNAME

JenniferDau — 2007-01-11 10:26:06Z

Could you give me some more information on your Dau family members? Do you have any names and birthdates you could post? I am tracing the Dau family history beginning in Germany and the Detroit area, and I wonder if there are any connections.

Re: Auguste Dau (Augusta Daw) Inquiry

2006-11-24 18:09:06Z

The surnames are certainly familar. My paternal grandfather's family migrated from the Grammendorf area in the mid to late 1800's to the United States. My emmigrant ancestors were Wilhelm Frederick Engel and Johanna Koch. They had several children, one of which was a daughter Fredericka who married Karl Shroeder.

Any information regarding Augusta Daw's parents would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Terry

Re: Auguste Dau (Augusta Daw) Inquiry

Dau Family of Galveston, TX. in 1900

BasketLady420 — 2006-06-13 22:25:22Z

This comes from a webpage called "Storm of 1900 Oral History."
Hopkins, page 11

Kenamore: What was their last name?
Hopkins: Dau, D. .A. .U.
Kenamore: D. .A. .U.. And your maiden name was Bristol.
Hopkins: Bristol, yes.
Kenamore: I'll go back to the Archives and look that up in the city directory.
Hopkins: You know when my mother told me, growing up, she didn't like the Dau girls too much. They were rough and she tried to make a quiet sweet little lady out of me. I just never was that kind. I was rough. (More on website)

I am not related to this family, just passing on this information about the 1900 Galveston, Texas Hurricane. The link for the site is listed below.

What is your grandfather's name? I am currently working on an extensive family tree originating with Herman Dau (married to Augusta Blaschke) in Germany in 1938. I have been able to trace the name to a number of different states, and am eager to fill in some of the gaps. Any information you or your grandfather might have would be most helpful.

Auguste Dau (Augusta Daw) Inquiry

geekgirl2005 — 2003-11-10 03:42:37Z

Hello! I am looking for information on my gr-grandmother, Auguste Dau. She was born about 1871 in Grammendorf, Pomern, Germany. She immigrated to the US in Nov 1890 with her son, Wilhelm (Dau) Engel and the Family of Fredrick and Johnanna Engel and joined her husband, Wilhelm Engel in Maquoketa, Jackson County, Iowa. She died in Iowa in 1907.

While we have a lot of information on the Engel, Koch, Nissen, Schroeder, Baresel and other families, we do not have hardly any information on Augusta Daw. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!

Re: Christian Dau

2003-10-25 03:33:24Z

Thanks for sending the information. It is interesting that Mrs. Charles Albreght was from Walworth, WI which is where Christian Dau and his wife Fredericka had seveal children. Actually it was Whitewater, Walworth County, WI. Good luck in your search!

Re: Christian Dau

BarbaraStewart442 — 2003-10-25 01:48:50Z

Hi Kathy:
The only connection I have with Christian Dau, is the obit, of my G.G. Grandfather in 1918, that listed two sisters. Mrs Christian Dau of Carpentersville and Mrs Charles Albreght of Walworth, Wisc. The date was 6/8/1918. His name was Christian Wendt, so his sister's maiden name would be Wendt.
That's all I know and have no further information, I was hoping to find their families to find some cousins and more information on the Wendt's.
Sorry
Barbara

Re: Christian Dau

diggingen — 2003-10-20 03:37:16Z

Variation of Dau family name -DAUG

2003-01-24 16:43:59Z

I a searching for information on my grandparents, Anna Daug and Henry Jacob Weidner. Henry emigrated as a child, but Anna was born in Hoboken, Hudson Co., NJ to Frederick and Marie (Wessendorf) Daug. Our family has always spelled the name DAUG and on original documents their point of origin in Germany was Odernheim, Prussia.
Family legend says that they might have originated in Scandanavia, particularly Sweden or Denmark, but I can find no link. I would like to know where in Prussia of the 1870's Odernheim was, and which archive I should write to for records. I know that there are other Odernheims in Germany and also Odenheims, but the family always used the Odernheim form. any info appreciated.

Re: about the name DAU

JenniferDau — 2002-04-22 19:14:02Z

All of my family is from Germany, though it is possible that the name could have originated elsewhere. I've always been curious about its meaning though. Good luck with your search.

Re: Dau Family - MI IL

JenniferDau — 2002-04-22 19:14:02Z

I don't know of any Henry Dau, but my great great grandfather was Herman Dau, born in Publitz, Germany in 1838. He came to Detroit with his family (wife and 5 children) some time between 1872 and 1880 (then had 3 more children). They may have been brothers or cousins. There are still quite a few Daus living in the Detroit area. If any of the dates match up, let me know. I have quite a bit more information about the family.

Re: Daus in Canada? USA? Australia? NZ?

JenniferDau — 2002-04-22 19:14:02Z

I agree that our surname is rare. In fact, finding this bulletin board was about the only success I've ever had in my search. I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan (USA), but also have quite a few "Dau" relations in Detroit. Don't worry, you're not alone!

Re: SURNAME

JenniferDau — 2002-04-22 19:14:02Z

There are quite a few of us Daus living in the Detroit area. My great-great grandfather was Herman Dau, b.1838, d.1922. He settled with his 5 children in Detroit sometime between 1872 and 1880, and then had 3 more children. He was born in Publitz, Germany, but lived in Lauerberg and Hinterpomern before immigrating here.

Christian Dau

KPercy2620 — 2002-03-03 16:47:02Z

This is most likely a long shot but I have a great-grandfather named Christian Dau who was married to Fredericka Giese in 1863 probably in the Chicago area and lived for a time in Whitewater, Wisconsin which I understand is Walworth County. I'm wondering if there is some kind of connection. I haven't heard the name Wendt in my line but thinking by marriage there could be somewhere. Maybe cousins or something. Let me know if you find a connection.

Thanks,

Kathy

Re: Daus in Canada? USA? Australia? NZ?

Karen581 — 2002-01-05 05:15:10Z

Hi, I am in Australia and my maternal Grandmother's maiden name was Dau. Have you done very much family research? The main trouble I have found is that when you search on the net, Dau, is also the abb. for daughter!

Daus and Busse

bettyjohnson832 — 2001-08-18 00:58:03Z

Hi Cousin, I am looking for the same info. Heinrich and Louise were my great grandparents. Their daughter, Hattie, (Paul's sister) married Frederick Zietz. One of their daughters is my mother, Della Zietz.
I have found a "Luise Pauline Busse" on the LDS IGI . She was christened 4 July 1852 in Sankt Elisabeth, Berlin Stadt, Brandenburg Preussen. Parents: Christian Ferdinand Busse and Henriette Auguste Wunderlich. It could be "our" Louise but I won't know for sure unless I get more info.
You wouldn't happen to have any info in regard to Paul's birthplace, would you?
