So, in my digging, I have found out more information about my Ferdinand family members.

Joseph and Rebecca Ferdinand came over from Russia in 1891 and 1892 respectively. They married in 1893. They had six children - Morris, Samuel, Leo, Tillie, David and Emma. They lived in Chicago, IL and some moved to Peoria. Morris married a woman named Rae. Samuel married a woman named Florence. Leo married a woman named Lillian. David married a woman named Helen. Tillie got married but do not know to whom. I don't know if Emma ever got married. So if any of these names sound familiar to you, please email me at ericasf@msn.com.

Ok, so it's been a while since I updated here. I have more information. The farthest I have gotten so far is that there were two brothers, Samuel and Leo Ferdinand. They lived in Peoria and Chicago, IL. Sam had two children, Maxine and Sam. I am a descendant of Sam's. If this sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know! :-) You can email me @ ericasf@msn.com

eferdinand — 2008-09-15 22:57:54Z

I just found out that my family is from Chicago. I know that there was a brother Samuel and a brother Leo. Sam had two children - Maxine and Sam Jr. I am a descendant of Sam Jr. Does the names Sam or Leo mean anything to you?

eferdinand — 2008-09-14 19:43:59Z

Hmmm, I was told that we descended from Spain - banished during the inquisition and then ended up in Ireland. But our name didn't change from Ferdinand.

Okaaaay, now, Mary Ferdinand, living in Surrey, UK - this caught my eye. The big question is ... what is the connection of you lot ;-) over the pond to the line of Ferdinands who left Portugal in the 17th century and lived in the East End (London equivalent of the Bronx) for over three centuries?

If you think there's a connection the guy with all the answers is not me but Peter Ferdinando:

Dad married my aunt Mary. I am the biological daughter of Mary's niece. I hate to put it in those terms as John and Mary are my mom and dad in every sence of the word.
Pleae email me back as i always wantee to know more about dad's side of the family. Since dad died when i was seven i did not get much of a achance to learn more about his history...

Hi Cindy,

My notes on Joseph Ferdinand, the first Ferdinand in Nova Scotia, are below. I have a copy of the petition and much more info down to the present day. It doesn't look like I have you, though.

Joseph's son, John, is the only child I've been able to trace forward. He married Sophia Teed, my 2c3r. Their daughter, Emeline, married James Wynn, my 1c3r. There are also some other marriages between Ferdinands and my family.

I'd be happy to share info.

Barbara

Notes
Joseph, from San Domingo, came to Nova Scotia in 1807 and petitioned for land in Cumberland County in 1817. His petition was not granted.

Census records state Ferdinand origin as Spanish. Joseph’s birth place may have been the San Domingo in the border area of Portugal and Spain. The area changed hands over the years. Alternatively, he may have been from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. There is some family lore that says he was from Madrid, Spain.

This is for Sherry Nauffts. I just noticed while looking for something on the net. Tena is my foster mother and she has lived with me for 35 years. She is presently in the nursing home but her mind is in tact. IShe is 98 and Charlie was her cousin. I am not sure about pictures but I could look in her old albums. I do know she talked about him .

I don't know if we are related, but I'm searching for anyone who might know of Peter Ferdinand who came from Danzig, Germany, leaving by unknown ship around 1830, and who settled in Florida, and added an american name to his by the name of Parker. He is a real mystery.

Any information would be most welcome.
