Re: Mary German/Will Blake

1_maryrobertson — 2012-04-21 02:53:05Z

Mary Louise(German) and Willis Alonzo Blake were my grandparents. Mary German was daughter of Thomas Didemus German II, who was a brother of John German. I have a copy of an article written by a History Professor at Georgia Southern University about the John German family's westward migration, and it includes a lot of information about the lives of daughters, Catherine, Sophia, Julia and Adelaide after they were rescued. It also mentions that the bodies of John German, his wife, son and two daughters who were killed by the indians, were removed by the U.S. Army in 1875 and were reburied in the old Fort Wallace, Kansas cemetery. In July 1957, German family members from Georgia, Kansas, California and Oregon gathered to pay homage to the spirit of the German family. Wish I had known about it in 1957. What a sad but inspiring story of endurance and courage.

German birth name

slilly7 — 2011-12-14 14:44:02Z

I'm having a difficult time reading the name on a death certificate. It's a female, born in Germany and I'm hoping someone might recognize the name. I can make out the following:
H**elhheide Anti

Here is a link if it'll help - it's the mother of the deceased. http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/r...

I've googled everything I can think of and come up with nothing.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Wilkes Co., NC

Thank you for the information. Quite interesting and I'll share with the family. Thanks again!

Re: Wilkes Co., NC

JohnLGerman — 2011-07-29 03:51:52Z

According to the DNA results I cannot be paternally related to the Wilkes Co. GERMAN family. See my sample #1543

I've not seen the book by the late Lawrence German and can't comment upon his conclusions before I see his evidence. One thing I think the DNA is telling us is that whoever the ancestor of the Wilkes Co GERMANs that travled to NC probably left relatives behind in PA or NY.

Re: Wilkes Co., NC

ldemkovich — 2011-07-29 02:18:25Z

Oh, that's good. Wow - that is interesting. I was raised in NY.
According to our family tree, compiled by Lawrence J. German, Johan Garman/Germann came to America via Pennsylvania and then south to Wilkes County. He then went by the name John German (father of Thomas G., grandfather of Charles.) Do you know of this book and is it possible we are related? I am the daughter of Phyllis Ann German (daughter of Dennis Larkin German of Blue Ridge, GA. - A direct descendant of Charles.)

Thank you for that information!

Re: Wilkes Co., NC

JohnLGerman — 2011-07-29 01:12:00Z

Thats not what I'm sayig at all.

The DNA results mean the Wilkes County, NC, German family - including Charles German's descendants share a common ancestor with a German family in colonial New York. This means further traditional research should be looking for those families' connections - I would guess the Wilkes Co Germans have colonial ancestors in the north - maybe New York, or perhaps in Pennsylvania. The DNA connection is a clue.

Re: Wilkes Co., NC

ldemkovich — 2011-07-28 23:54:17Z

Dear John, please, can you provide more information on these DNA results? Are you saying that Charles, b. 1774 in Wilkes County cannot be related to other Germans in Wilkes County? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Carol,
My gradmother Goldie told me she was buried at Maxey. It seems strange, during that time, that she would have been transported to Mo, but you never know what you will find doing research. My grandmother Goldie told me that her mother rode home on a horse after seeing a patient, said she was sick and going to die and made a beautiful black dress to be buried in. She also said that a son of Johanna's was ill at the same time and later died.

Re: Melissa German

Hi Karen.. Johanna has kept me intriqued. Found out about the German Massacre and was interesting reading. Not part of Johanna's family though. They seemed to have moved aroud quite a bit. Parents of Johanna living in Washinton Stae at the end of their lives. Wonder where she is buried. Not at Little Maxie where John Wesley and a child that died early are buried. alooked in Fanshaw cementary and found several Cutsingers including your grandmother,Goldie. has been a long time since we were there. Will go again soon. Saw something about she might be buried in Mo.

GERMAN Lawrence L

Lace_Lynch — 2010-08-22 12:53:49Z

GERMAN Lawrence L. German. "I want people to know me for what I believe, for what I profess, for what I do."

A life of achievement and service ended August 18, 2010 when Lawrence L. "Larry" German died at age 90 in Columbus, Ohio.

Born February 8, 1920 in River Rouge, Michigan, German earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University in 1941.

His extensive professional career included positions with DuPont; work on the Manhattan Project during WWII; Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in Schenectady, NY; General Electric Company in Richland, WA at the Hanford Atomic Products Division; and as vice-president/general manager of A.B. Dick Company in Chicago.

German came to Columbus, OH in 1976 with Battelle Memorial Institute, from which he retired in 1986 as vice president and corporate director of human resources.

After retirement, he pursued his passion for civic and church leadership, travel, family, and community involvement.

In his years of public service, he held innumerable positions of leadership in the communities in which he lived, including board positions with the National College of Education, the Economic Club of Chicago, Ohio Commons Company, Columbus Association for Preservation of the Southern Theatre, BalletMet-Columbus, Columbus Council for Ethics and Economics, and Episcopal Retirement Homes.

He was a member of the Upper Arlington Rotary, Scioto Country Club, and an active volunteer at The James Cancer Hospital.

Over the years, German held numerous positions of leadership in the Episcopal Church, joking that he had filled "every position in the church except bride."

In 2003 he was inducted into the Society of St. Simeon and St. Anna honoring years of wisdom and service to the Episcopal Church.

An avid traveler, he enjoyed traveling throughout the United States and visited China, Russia, Antarctica, Africa, the Middle East, the Arctic Circle, Scandinavia, and most countries in Europe.
In later years he navigated the Amazon and other rivers of South America and most recently crossed the Atlantic aboard the Queen Mary 2.

German was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 50 years Phyllis Davis German, their eldest child Lawrence Davis German, his brother Carleton, and sisters Helen and Jessie.

He is survived by his daughter, Ellen German Berndt of Upper Arlington. Ohio; his son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Luann German of Canton, GA; daughters-in-law, Deborah German of Orlando, FL and Danise German of Albuquerque, NM; niece, Kay Quinn of Cadillac, MI; and his dear granddaughters, Elizabeth Berndt of Chicago, IL, Julia German, of Washington, DC, Laura German of Orlando, FL, and Kirsten Burroughs of Albuquerque, NM.
The family is grateful to the staff of the Forum at Knightsbridge for their competent, warm, and loving care.

A memorial service in celebration of the life of Larry German will be held at 4 p.m., Saturday, August 28 at St. Mark's, Upper Arlington. The family will greet friends at a reception following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Trinity Guild at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 2151 Dorset Rd., Upper Arlington, OH. Arrangements by SCHOEDINGER NORTHWEST CHAPEL.
Please visit www.schoedinger.com to extend condolences and share memories.
