Hi I am not related but I just saw your request and thought it intersting. My family is also from Germany my grandpa was the only one of his family that came from the home country. He did bring over a distant cousin but he had a different last name. So we aren't related to any Hessea in the the US. Oh I forgot to tell you my maiden name was Hesse my grandpa's name was Frederick Hesse with a few other names as middle names. My dad was first generation american. His name was Frank Henry Hesse. Just thought I would so hi. We are all located close to Mattoon Illinois but have one cousin away now. Take care.

Hello Kay,

I am currently looking for information on my ancestors. I saw that you have Hulda Hesse listed here. Do you have
any other information on her, as the date she was born is around the date that my great great great grandmother, with the same name might have been born.

I would really appreciate if you have more information on her that you could share with me.

regards,

August Hesse and Dora Schultz,

I have a paternal grandmother who was born in germany to August Hesse, maiden name unknown. She had four children from this first marriage including Anna, Minnie, louise (lizzie) and Cornelia. Don't know if it is the same person, but time frame is correct.

Edward Fackert / Maria Drechsel

stuffnsew — 2008-12-05 12:40:37Z

Hi, i am trying to find information on Edward Fackert and Maria Drechsel. They married somewhere around the 1920's I believe. I am the grand-daughter of these 2. I have no history on them other than Maria Drechsel had a brother Willie and she also may have married another man with the last name Lekat. I had a cousin named Heidi and Diana. I would love to have any information about the families. Thank you!! Sandy

Re: Eliel family from Hesse Germany

margaret_ann_chandler — 2008-12-05 04:11:14Z

I just read your question, posted 5 years ago, about the Eliel family of Hesse. I am descended from that family. They were a Jewish family from Nentershausen and Iba, Hesse. There was a Leib Eliel, alias Ludwig (German name) or Louis (American name). He was born in Nentershausen, Hesse either 12-27-1807 or 1-06-1808, and I think he became a physician. He married Helena Hecht on August 8, 1840 in Nentershausen, and they had 7 children born there, the last in 1853. Sometime after that (1856?) they migrated to LaPorte, Indiana, where Louis was the coroner from 1860 - 1874. He died in LaPorte August 20, 1886. Does this sound like the Ludwig Eliel you are looking for?

My grandmother's sister, Melvina Miller McGown b in Scotland, married a Christian Hesse and lived in Toogoolawah (Queensland??). She moved to Australia, either before or after her marriage, in about 1915. If you have any information on this branch of the family, I would like to hear about it!

I'm curious about where in Washington your Henry died? I'm thinking he's part of the "other" branch of Hesses I know of (but not really about), who are related. Do you know where his parents were from?

I'm looking for connections in/from Jestaedt-Eschwege, which is in NW Hessen, Germany.

I recently found a photo at an antique mall here in Nebraska, with an Emma Hesse. The photo is marked Butte Montana and was taken at the T.J. Brennan Elite Studio in Butte.
I wonder if she's yours?
I would love to find a home for her!
The picture is faded, but still in very good shape.

Hello,
I'm looking to find information on my grandmother, Breuel Elisabeth. She had two sons, Harold Kisselbach, Wolfgang Kisselbach and Linda (different dad, not sure of last name) Last I knew she was married twice. Albert Kisselbach is one and I'm not sure of the other. Wolfgang died at an early age from diptheria (sp?) I also have always been told that my father lived in Kassel Germany, however, through some research I'm finding that its actually Hesse or Hessen Germany? If anyone could please help me with this in some way I would GREATLY appreciate it. I'm not even sure where to start but can't find anything, not even my dad; Harold Kisselbach. He is deceased and immigrated to the U.S. however my grandmother stayed in Germany all her life and did own some type of coffee shop/restaurant of some sort.
I'm not even sure if I spelled her last name right?
My dad's birth date was 9/23/1941 Died June 1994. Any help, hints, suggestions, leads would be great thank you!

How do you find passenger lists that arrived in New Orleans around 1844?

I am looking for a passenger list that includes:
Herman Dietrich Moehlmann II and his wife Anna Adelaide Houselog

They left Germany on August 19, 1843 in Badbergen (spelling?), Germany or Bremen, Germany.

Does anyone have any idea how to find passenger lists of ships that arrived in New Orleans in the 1840's?

Thanks!

jahesse1 — 2007-04-20 11:21:55Z

Thank you for your kind reply.
I can't imagine being upset about posting an obituary! Afterall, they are in newspapers to be made public. Reposting them here helps genealogists in hopes of finding connections. I can understand that quite well.

Re: obit fyi: Margaret Putnam Hesse. 1930-2007.

Nanatothree — 2007-04-19 16:44:36Z

Hi there,

I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's very difficult to lose someone close to you. She sounded like a very lovely woman.

Since our paper went on-line I only do a copy and paste of the obits to help others who are searching.

I'm happy you were not offended by my posting. I've only had one gal call and leave me a message on my machine about posting an obit for a family member, it was a little scary. Trouble was she never left her name or the name of the person in the obit so I have no idea who she was or which obit she was referring to.

Besides her, I've only ever had positive posts from distant family members who were grateful I'd posted the obit as in many cases they'd lost contact with that part of the family.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Regards,
Margaret

PLEASE NOTE, THIS WAS POSTED FOR REFERENCE ONLY. I AM NOT RELATED TO, NOR AM I RESEARCHING THIS FAMILY, I’VE ONLY DONE A COPY AND PASTE FROM OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER FYI.

Margaret Putnam Hesse
Posted: Tuesday, Apr 17, 2007 - 04:32:30 pm PDT
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON STATE

Margaret Putnam Hesse, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother and a 20-year resident of Ephrata, died Monday, April 9 in Ephrata of a rare liver disease. She was 76.

Born May 19, 1930, to W.T. and Lorene (Biersdorf) Putnam, Mrs. Hesse grew up outside Hillsboro, Ore. She earned a bachelor's degree in home economics from Oregon State College (now University) in 1952.

She married Louis Hesse on Dec. 26, 1951, and they farmed the Hesse family farm near Scholls, Ore. until 1987, when the family moved their operation to the Moses Lake/Ephrata area.

Mrs. Hesse had a lifelong passion for sewing and enjoyed making her own clothes and home decor, including braided wool rugs. She taught 4-H sewing to neighbor girls for 25 years and served as a judge at county and state fairs in Oregon.

At the time of the U.S. Bicentennial, she wrote "Scholls Ferry Tales," a 100-page community history published by the Groner Women's Club, of which she was an active member for many years. The book was reprinted in 1994.

She was involved in several community and church organizations throughout her life. She served two terms as president of HCE (Extension) and as district financial secretary and parliamentarian for the Lutheran Women's Missionary League.

She loved to travel, and she and her husband made seven trips to Europe. They also visited Australia and New Zealand, the Panama Canal, most Canadian provinces, and 46 U.S. states.

Mrs. Hesse is survived by her husband of 55 years; four children: Louis (Debra) Hesse of Moses Lake, Ann (Norman) Gosch of University Place, Christopher (Pamela) Hesse of Camas, and John Hesse of Ephrata; nine grandchildren: Dayna (Shane) Hall, Benjamin (Kelli) Hesse, and Rachel (Jason) Brown; Jennifer, Elisabeth, Christopher, and Alexander Hesse; and Josephine and Jacob Hesse; great-grandchild Danelle Hall; twin sister Maurine (Henry) Hinck and two brothers William and George (Terry) Putnam. She was preceded in death by a son-in-law, David Price.

A memorial service was held on April 14 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Ephrata, with her brother the Rev. George Putnam officiating. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Heart Association or the charity of your choice.

Research help.

klo84 — 2006-10-07 12:35:50Z

I need recommendations on the information I would request from the archives in Germany. I want to ask for "everything you have" on the town and family names that I am researching!!! I know this is inappropriate. I have been able to research back to my ggggrandparents. I would like to go back further, plus I would like to do lateral research to attempt to connect families in the village. My ancestral village was/is small and the older families have been in the village for centuries. These families have inter-married through the generations. My other interest is to connect lines that are being researched in the US with my line. All the on-line trees have only been able to identify the village at their first layer.
