I am looking for more Civil War info on my 3x great grandfather Charles Karl Engel who was born in Germany in 1829 and died I assume in Pennsylvania in 1901. I found a buriel record on him and a Civil War registration book with his name in it. He married Mary Agold in 1850. Their daughter, my 2x great grandmother Anna Theresia Engel married Mark Eiswerth.

ENGLE, DUNN, CULP, RIDER, HEIM- Northumberland Co, PA

mmmmikkimac — 2012-03-18 03:14:20Z

Hi

I found your post about the Engle Family. Is this the family who lived in Berks and Northumberland Counties, PA?

My 3rd great-grandmother Margaret Engle, who married John RIDER of Germany.
Both were from Northumberland Co., PA and later moved to Jefferson/Harrison Counties in Ohio.

I have Valentine ENGLE 1781 - 1848 and Margaret HEIM 1782 - 1859. I think Valentine is her brother.

Margaret and John's first child was born 1815, so their years of birth would have been prior to 1775, and that would make Margaret older than Valentine

It is thru their son George RIDER and his wife Katheine CULP who I descend from.

Please contact. Thanks!

Re: Theodore Engel

sdhomegirls — 2012-03-11 04:05:45Z

I know it's been over a decade since this post, but if you're still on here...did you find the information you need? My great-grandfather's name was also Theodore Engel, and they lived in Tripp County, SD. One of their sons was named George, and there were 9 other children, including my grandfather, Henry.

If you are still on ancestry and want to compare notes, let me know. :)

My great great grandfather Johann Frederick Wenzel stayed with them when they came to America. I know Johann had two children in New Jersey one in Upton and one in Linden.

The Gustav in my family tree I do not know the names of any of his children, I am just getting started in my search. I do know his parents were Christian and Fredrika and he had many siblings?!?!

Re: Looking for help with Gustav Engel

cengel141 — 2012-01-03 22:10:56Z

Hello:)

Thank you for getting back to me:)

I am more sure about the names of his children, Susan, Ralph and Joseph. His parents might have been Wilhelm and Marie.

Gustav definitely lived in Wisconsin. Later, he moved to Los Angeles, CA. I think all three Engels lived in Nor California, Susan in Santa Clara Co., Ralph in Sacramento, and Joseph out in the hills of Placer County.

Does this help?

baby girl Engel born 9/5/1941 to Edward & Florence Minnesota

kiararayne — 2012-01-03 18:16:18Z

I am trying to find any information behind the birth certificate that reads baby girl Engel born to Edward Engel and mother listed as Florence Mynnti (however she went by Manthey). The date of birth is 9/5/1941! If that is your date of birth you may not even know that your name is not on the birth certificate so please check into this. Born in Duluth, MN. Edward and Florence both passed away by 1964 so I am unable to ask them any questions. Please respond to this message on here or my private email if you even THINK you have any leads. Thankyou, Jonell

Re: Joe(Curly) Engel, cowboy singer from Brooklyn 1930s

kevcoforkney — 2011-12-04 10:22:01Z

Hello Steve -- Wow -- I had almost given up on ever tracking anything more down on Joe Engel. As you can see by the date of my original message board post, it's been a long time, and I know now that he was still living when I wrote that post back in 2003.
I've been digging into the history of the western/western swing bands of the 1930s-50s for many years and have written a lot about it, too -- sleeve notes to CDs, articles, etc. I'm a big fan of Texas Jim Lewis & his Lone Star Cowboys, so I've been familiar with your father's singing for a long time and have written about the band on several occasions, including a CD a couple years back on the BACM label (a historical CD reissue label issued by the British Archive Of Country Music) that was devoted to the band during the period your father was in it.
I have, as far as I know, ever recording he made with band, as well as several excerpts from live radio broadcasts. I even have a poor copy of a 1937 movie short the band did with your father in it. I'd be very pleased to share anything with you that you don't have.
As to what I'd like to know -- Well, I know very little about him, so almost anything you can tell me would be great. I found a possible reference to him working with a Major Bowes troupe prior to his joining the Lone Star Cowboys, but I wasn't able to verify if it was correct. Other than that, I know he was with Lewis & the Cowboys during 1937-38 period and I have a reference to him working with the Radio Rubes, a New York-based western/country band in 1940. Other than that, and Lewis' description of him as the "Brooklyn cowboy", I know nothing. I'd love to know his background, how he moved toward yodelling and western music (I'm particularly curious if his stints with western bands were just jobs to him or it he really loved the style and sang that sort of material and yodelled because he really loved it?).
So I'd love to know what you know about his career prior to 1936 or so, and after 1940, and what he did in later years, etc. I only have one photo from that time, do you have much in the way of photos from his musical career? Or other material related to it?
And of course, I'd love to have general biographical details -- where and when born, background, etc.
I hope I haven't written too much here. Thanks very much for getting in touch with me, and I hope to hear more from you. Thanks again & take care -- if you prefer to write me via regular e-mail, that address is kevcof@aol.com

Looking for help with Gustav Engel

Hello All:)

I am looking for help searching for relative of my great grandfather
Gustav Engel
Birth Apr 1871 in Germany
Death in Los Angeles County, California, United States

Gustav was married to Marie Hassert, B. Sep 1873 in Germany, D. 17 mar 1909 in Missouri, USA

They had 3 children, Susan B. 7 Nov. 1895 D. 14 Apr.1987, Ralph (my grandfather) B. 5 Sept. 1905, D. 29 July 1990, and Joseph, B. 17 March 1909 D. 8 June 1989.

Re: Carl, Henry Jr. and Fredrick Gustav (August) Engel: Minnesota

danoengel — 2011-08-30 17:28:10Z

Hi there
My Engels were also originally from Germany and went to Russia,somewhere around Odessa, or Bessarabia near the black sea is what I believe. My grandparents John and Pauline Engel emigrated to Canada with their son Fred. They homesteaded in Eastern Alberta, and had two more sons; Arthur (my father) and David, and as well a daughter Hilda. I remember as a small boy going to Dakota with my grandmother and parents to visit a relative of hers. There were also two brothers of John who came to Canada after the war. Jacob and Adolf. My father pieced together quite a file prior to his death 3 years ago and was able to go back to the early 1700's. How I wish he could have dug into the internet!

My husband and I are looking for the Engel(Engle) family that were left at the St. Vincents orphanage in the 1940's(ish). Barbara Ann Engel, Kenneth Engel, Thomas Engel, Richard Engel, and Gary Lee Engel. My father in law is Larry Engle. He wasn't sure of the spelling of his last name, and spells it this way, but every record I can find spells the last names Engel. Their parents were Frank and Florence. Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Karl(or Carl)August Engel

frank_dottie — 2011-07-17 00:18:10Z

My husband is related to Frieda Engel (grandmother) and Karl August Engel (great-grandfather).

Frieda Engel married George Frederick Clayden. They had two children: 1. Anna Clayden and 2. George Frederick Clayden. Frieda died when Anna was young--I believe it was sometime around 1920. I have found no details about Frieda such as birth, marriage or death dates. Anna told me her mother's name was Frieda M. Engel and her grandfather was Gus Engel.

Do you have any information about Frieda? Anna Clayden married Patrick F. Doran in June 1931. Anna Clayden Doran was born on January 1, 1914 and her brother, George Frederick Clayden was born in 1910.

Anna had two children. Frank R. Doran (my husband) and James Patrick Doran (now deceased).

Thanks for any help you can provide about Frieda and her ancestors.

Re: Friedrich Engel with wife Katariena arrived 4 July 1913 departed Hamburg born Balzer, Russia

angelwehaveheard — 2011-07-11 23:02:41Z

Hi, I've been reading the posts about "Friedrich" and also saw that you have a cousin named Mike Engel. Since that's my name (Michael Engel) as well, I am curious to find out who is your cousin. In reading the family history my dad wrote I know that my great great great grandfather and his father were both named Friedrich Engel, not likely the one you asked about though since their dates are: Friedrich (I think Leopold) Engel 1792-1846 and Friedrich Wilhelm Engel (11815-1886). The latter's son Julius is my great great grandfather but I'm wondering if he also may have had a son Friedrich. I will continue to research this and will let you know if I find anything.

Curiously, where I grew up in rural Wisconsin there was another Engel family who lived on the farm up the road who were not directly related to us, but no doubt from some earlier branch of the family.

Nice to make your acquaintance,

Mike

I found the following obituary for Alexa Engel online:

She was a homemaker and
Registered Nurse during World War II with the U.S. Navy.
Previously of Richardson, she had resided in Mabank since 1972, and was a member of the St. Jude Catholic Church. She was a member of the Lady of Holy Sepulcher and active in Women’s Guild.
Survivors include son Steve Engel and wife Linda, Mabank; daughters Molly Eichenberger, Dallas; and Linda Hunt and husband Ronnie, Valencia, Calif.; sister Rita Ray, Dallas; brother Bob Balizet; seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Pallbearers were Jason Smith, Chris Eichenberger, Casey Smith, Kyle Engel, Damon Smith and Steve Engel.

Hi, I know that my grandpa's uncle Henry lived in Lincoln for awhile and then moved to CO and I believe that he died there....not sure what year though. I know that Fredrich Engel married Katherine Krott/Groth and his brothers all married her sisters in Sartov Russia. Her father was a Dr. Krott? I do know that some of our extended, extended family spell their name ENGLE and not ENGEL. Very exciting! I am calling my grandpa right now to let him know what I found.

My dad said we, too, may be related to Engle's that lived in Colorado and perhaps WY. I will try to attach a brief tree to see if this gets any response or help! I will do this in the next post.

Let me know if we are able to help one another out or if we are family! : D
