I am sorry, but I do not have your Edward in my data base. However, I will continue to check other resources.

Re: LANSING FAMILY JOURNEY

teaky37 — 2012-05-19 01:11:50Z

The Edward I am looking for is Edward J. Lansing, signed in my grandmothers diary. He married my grandmother Mabel Lansing, have no middle name nor itial. Also can not find any marriage record. Her maiden name was Mabel Miller born 1900, married Paul Warren in 1919, and then Edward Lansing, she died in Sept. 15, 1967, and I do know that Grandpa Lansing was still alive at this time, haven't any idea when he died, the last I knew of him he live on Philadelphia street in an apartment in Detroit. This is all I have on him.

I have an Edward Willett Lansing b. 1878 in Minnesota d. December 1940 in Seattle, WA. Married a Maybelle A. Unknown b. 1884 also in Minnesota and d. 1950 in WA. I have their children as Mabel A. Lansing;Willette Lansing; Catherine and Margaret. Would these be the ones you are looking for? I have many Edward's in the data base.

Lansing is by far the most common spelling. However, be cognizant of these variations which can occasionally turn up

- Lansingh (2nd most common)
- Lansinck
- Lansijnck
- Lansyng
- Lensing
- Lansink
- Lassing

Alfred Lansing

judib_98 — 2012-05-06 01:12:48Z

In the little research I've done, I wonder if Alfred Lansing is indeed Charles A Lansing. I have a dob of 20Sep1852 and a dod of 19Nov1891 as referenced by a newspaper clipping with a dod of 19Nov1897. I'm wondering if this could be a typo as I also have Alfred married to Emma Adams, father to Grace M Lansing in the 1880 census. Any clarity anyone can bring is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: LANSING FAMILY JOURNEY

So, should I be trying to find Lansijnck instead of Lansing when I am searching on the web ? Please advise...Jim

Hi, I am looking for information on Edward Lansing, who married Mabel Warren, I haven't any dates. They were my grandfather, and grandmother, her second marriage. Believe his middle intial is J. They lived in Detroit, Michigan, around the fifties. Don't know much about my family's history. sorry can't be more help.

Re: LANSING FAMILY JOURNEY

teaky37 — 2012-04-19 23:57:45Z

It is wonderful what you have done, family is important, and with your research this family will be remembered. I do not have much information, but was hoping you could help me, my grandfather was Edward Lansing, he married Mabel last name either Miller, or Warren. They lived in Detroit, around the 50's. Was to young to know much about them, but would like to know Grandpa Lansings family, his brothers, sisters, etc. if you can help it would be great. Thank you

Dot, is there something that maybe needs to be looked at that a local could do? I'm one of the few Lansing descendents that stayed right here in the Albany area after the family showed up in 1655. If you need something looked at in Lansingburgh or around Albany, let me know and I can see what I can do. Take care.

Hi Bill,
I can send you a complete report when I return home this weekend. As I recall, Abraham Lansing and Lydia Manchester were married in the 1st Presbyterian Church of Lansingburgh, where I grew up. I visited the church and looked at their records but unfortunately they were not very well kept and many years went missing or ignored by the pastor, Mr. Blatchford.
I believe Abraham's father was Abraham H. Lansing and his grandfather was Harpert Lansing. Harpert and his wife are buried at the White Church in Brunswick, NY. I have photos of the graves. A completely positive connection between the two Ahrahams I could never find but all seems to point to them being father and son. There are other Abraham Lansings in the area which complicate the situation. The documentation beyond Harpert is well know, some of which I got from you. We may need to take a leap of faith on this one.
Regards, Dot

Hi Folks,
Elizabeth Lansing is my distant cousin. My Lansings are from Rensselaer County, NY, but I may be able to help you. A few years ago I met a woman from Wynantskill, NY who has Lansing info. She told me her family was from Germany so perhaps she can make a connection with you. Check the white pages for H. Lansing in Wynantskill, NY. I spoke with her this morning and she will review her info so as to be ready for your call. She does not use a computer so I hope this approach works for you. Let me know what you find.
Regards, Dot

Re: Sidney Lansing of Rensselaer County NY

Dot5327131 — 2012-03-11 15:57:02Z

Hi Folks,
Looks like we may have a common ancestor. My Sidney Lansing was born abt.1829 in Pittstown, NY and died 19 August 1863. Death date taken from the cemetery records of the New Mt. Ida Cemetery in Troy, NY.
Sidney's parents were Abraham Lansing and Lydia Manchester.
Siblings; John Lansing b.abt. 1818, William Lansing b.abt.1822, died 11 Aug, 1871, Troy, Stephen Lansing b abt. 1824, Pittstown, Garritt Lansing b abt. 1830 Pittstown, died 30 Aug 1892, Brunswick, Hannah Lansing b abt. 1832, Anna Lansing b abt. 1834, Cornelius Lansing b abt. 1840, died 23 June 1907, Watervliet, NY.
I believe my facts to be correct but we all make mistakes.
If you think this is your Sidney, I will send you more info regarding the family. I don't have more about him at this time.
William Lansing was my direct line so we may indeed be related.
FYI, Elizabeth Lansing and I have know one another for years, we are distant cousins. She knows more than anyone about the Lansings.
Regards, Dot

That sounds like a tough one. I am sorry but I have no information on any Lansings at all that were born in Germany or from Germany. I am wondering if he was from Holland and then moved to Germany due to his wife being born in Germany or if his parents had moved to Germany from Holland. I can't see your letter as I type so I cannot remember if you said he was b. in Germany or not himself. I will keep my ear to the pavement for you as they say and will let you know if I find anything at all that may help. I can appreciate your difficult and frustrating time spent on that line; it must be upsetting. I will see what I can do as time permits. God Bless you in your search; I will say a prayer that you can have a breakthrough! Sincerely, Elizabeth Lansing

She was born 7/25/1833 "supposedly" in Berlin, Germany. I am at a standstill. I 'hink and hope" that if I find Andrew's parents, I may make a breakthrough.

Just curious which Lansing line Ezra is from? Is he from the Albany Lansings? I don't recognize the first name. You also mentioned Robert or Bob Lansing and I have Lansings by that name on my chart so wondered if you wanted to share which line you are referring to. I am descended from the Albany Lansings and related also to the Watertown Robert Lansings as a cousin. It would be fun to write back and forth if there was a connection of any kind.

Re: Peder Ommundson

llansing1 — 2011-11-05 00:48:17Z

Bode Couple Wed in 1861 Friday November 5 1937 The Humboldt Independent
To Celebrate Anniversary

(Republican-Independent News Service) =
BODE—On Saturday, November 6, Mr. and Mrs. John Pederson of
Bode will observe their 56th wedding anniversary,
No preparations have been made for a special celebration and the couple plan to spend the day at their home they will receive congratulations from relatives and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Pederson are among the pioneer couples who have successfully reared a large family. They are the parents of twelve children, eleven of whom are living. One daughter, Thelma, died at the age of eight. Ten of the children were present at their parents golden wedding celebration six years ago. They are: Lenhart of Bode; Arthur of
Hallock, Minnesota, Eddie, Algona; Carl, Fort Dodge; Harry, Hardy; Olester, Spring Valley, Minnesota; Mrs. Andy (Borjina) Johnson, Bode; Mrs. O. M. (Emma) Riveness, Silverton, Oregon; Mrs. Sarl (Sarah) Haugen and Mrs. Oscar (Fern) Hegna, Hayfield ,Minnesota .The youngest daughter, Valborg wife of the Rev. A .Suby Nunda, South Dakota, was not present, but she visited here recently. Mr. Pederson is. 77 years of age and his wife, is 76. They have spent practically all their lives in Bode or near vicinity where they have been closely associated with church and community affairs. Mr. Pederson is the last surviving signer of the St.Olaf church constitution and has taken an active part in church development.
He has held a number of public offices. For several consecutive terms he was secretary of Waousta township schools; for twelve years he served as Humboldt county district
Supervisor: he was a township assessor for a long period, and more recently town assessor.
Mrs. Pederson was born in Norway Dec 3 1861.She came here with her parents Mr and Mrs. Lars Gangestad when eight years old and reached womanhood before the railroads were built here 1881-1882. In 1862 her parents homesteaded the farm which now adjoins the town of Bode on the west, and which is owned and occupied by their son Ludwig B Gangestad and wife. The third surviving member of the family is Severin M. Gangestad of Los Angeles, California. Mr. Peterson was born in Norway August 24, 1860. At eighteen months of age he emigrated to Dane County, Wisconsin, with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Peder Landsaas, and family. About seven year’s later both parents died. When sixteen years old he accompanied his older brother Ommund Pederson and the latter's
wife and son Peder G. to Iowa, where Gust P Lansing, another brother, had located some years before. The latter had written glowing letters of praise regarding Iowa land.
The quartette set out in a covered wagon containing household possessions, with their cattle alongside. On arriving in this section they decided to proceed to South Dakota,- and the journey continued The plains swarmed with Indians one of whom, Mrs. Pederson recalls, took fancy to a young heifer and made an attempt to take her by force. Ommund Pederson brandished a club and by physical persuasion the Indian was to induce leave. The travelers made camp at Aberdeen that night and the next day retraced their way back to Iowa. Within a short time Ommund Pederson became possessor of the land two miles east of Bode which was later sold to B.K. Opheim .Mr. Opheim now makes his home there with his son Bernold and family.
The orphaned lad made his home alternatively with Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Lewison, who lived in a small home on top of the hill now St. Olaf cemetery east of town, and with Mr. and Mrs. O.I. Olson, who then owned the farm adjoining Bode on the east. This later became the homestead farm of their son-in-law and daughter Mr. and Mrs. Gust P. Lansing. Mr. Pederson attended the local schools. In 1881 he and Emilia Gangestad were married in the former Lutheran church, by Rev. O. Sauer, who served the parish at the time. They were attended by her sister Louise Opheim as bridesmaid, and L.M. Lewison as best man. Mr. Opheim and Mrs. Lewison were guests at the wedding and both couples attended the golden anniversary 50 years later.
The young couple began farming and kept house in a small shack located on the tree claim of the Christ Kinseth south farm now occupied by Axel Enger and family, who reside in a new set of buildings on the edge of town. The farm is owned by Enger and Parsons.
After living southeast, northeast, and southwest of Bode they purchased the John Pederson homestead three and one-half miles northwest of town forty-six years ago. In 1910 they purchased the L.K. Opheim mercantile establishment and operated it for four or five years. This is the present Sauer grocery.
Over twenty years ago they built their present home on lots which were originally apart of the Gangestad homestead and which Mrs. Pederson gained by inheritance.
Although Mrs. Pederson suffers from defective eyesight, she is in fair health. Mr. Pederson is also in better health than in recent years past.

Abraham H. Lansing and Anna Coons

MMehan20 — 2011-09-02 19:01:38Z

I am trying to get more info on Abraham H. Lansing's parents. Abraham lived in the Rensselaer, New York area (he may have been originally from watervliet) and was probably born in the 1760's or 70's. He was married to Anna Coons (b 1772) also from Rensselaer. One of their children was Abraham Lansing born 1796 who married Lydia Manchester. There is a possibility that his parents were Harpert Lansing (1740-1769) and Marytje Visscher (1725-1768) but I have nothing to confirm this. Any help would be appreciated.

Lansing, whose father was Garret Lansing, whose father was Jacob H. Lansing, whose father was Hendrick Lansing, whose father was Gerrit Lansing, which is apparently the farthest that the Lansing's have been able to directly trace our name back to.

LANSING family from Hasselt

jwlasher — 2011-07-24 19:12:44Z

Two years ago I had the opportunity to visit Hasselt and actually tour the home of our ancestor Gerrit Lansing. It was the highlight of my trip and a moment that I will never forget. The town itself seems to have retained much of the look and feel of the time when Gerrit operated his bakery in the home that he built in town along a canal. The home has been updated as a family residence and the portion of the home that was once a bakery is now part of the living area. Given that the brick home was almost 400 years old it was in remarkably great condition. Early in the morning they still bring fresh baked goods and cheese to the town center for local residents to purchase. There was a windmill just outside of town and apparently the town is a popular place for tourists to visit during the summer. There was a historic plague on the Van Rensselaer house and a plaque on Gerrit Lansing's home that read: "House and Bakery of Gerrit Lansing. His wife and children emigrated in the 17th century to America. The following cities in America where named after this name: Lansing NY, Lansing MI, Lansing Ill, Lansingburg NY.".

I also visited the library in Zwolle and found a recently published book on the Lansing family from Hasselt. The name of the book: "Tussen Hasselt en Amerika De Hasselter wortels van drie Amerikaanse pioniersfamilies: Van Rensselaer, Lansing an Cuyler" ["Between Hasselt and America The Hasselt roots of three American pioneer families: Van Rensselaer, Lansing and Cuyler] by D. Westerhof and Js. Mooijweer. The book gave the background of the Lansing family and explained the problem of tracing earlier generations since last names were not yet in common use. There were a few Lansing names shown in early records but no proof of any connection to Gerrit Lansing's family. At this time a person's identity was made mainly through patronims. This is where the son's last name was taken from the father's first name. Therefore, Gerrit Gerrit would tell us that Gerrit was the son of Gerrit. A person's identity could also be from the person's profession or their place of birth or residence. Gerrit might be known as Gerrit the baker or Gerrit of Hasselt. The name "Gerrit Gerrits" was first found in Hasselt records on 17 July 1637. Gerrit had not followed the rules for administering grain into mills and was therefore fined. Two of the baptismal records of his children were also recorded showing their father's name as "Gerrit Gerrits, backer" and his wife as Lysabeth Hendricks; An article in "An Armory of American Families of Dutch Descent" published in 1941 also argued that the name of Gerrit Frederick was incorrectly inserted into an Albany court document that later led many to conclude that the patriarch of the Lansing family in America was Gerrit Fredericksz Lansing. The actual Dutch records in Hasselt and the recent book cited above support the fact that the father of the Lansing children who came to America was Gerrit Gerritsz whose father would also have been named Gerrit.

My Lansing ancestry runs from my mother Helen Jane Lansing, daughter of Ray DeVillo Lansing b. 1886/Lucian G. Lansing/Isaac Lansing/Abraham Lansing/Isaac H. Lansing/Hendrick J. Lansing/Jacob Hendrick Lansing/Hendrick Gerrit Lansing/Gerrit Gerritsz, the baker]. Notice how many generations of our family in America repeated the early Dutch naming pattern of having their father's name come after their own given name.

I am pleased by everyone's efforts to learn more about our ancestors. Since we would not be here without them, it seems only fitting that we should spend a little time increasing our knowledge about our ancestors and preserving their memory.

My mother had no idea if Ruth and Doris Lansing were descendants of the founders of Lansingburgh. I may try to research this in the next few weeks.

She should know the birthdates/marriage dates for the two couples. I'll ask if they were descendents of the Lansing that founded the burgh.

Re: LANSING FAMILY JOURNEY

jimlanman — 2011-05-28 03:59:34Z

I live in Albany, NY - which is where many Dutch wound up in the 17th and 18th centuries. I was about 15 years back or so a member of our local genealogy group. We had a historian from The Netherlands come and make a presentation, which was on many of the prominent families that emigrated here centuries back. After the presentation I had asked about the Lansings, and he had a prepared sheet of information that he gave me summarizing his research. I also have a copy of a page of Gerrit Gerritsen Lansing's book with the name written in there. I can send that image to anyone who is interested. I had the original sheet he gave me - but between moves and a computer crash years back - I lost much information, and the sheet may or may not be on my new computer. It is almost certainly in a box somewhere that I have yet to unpack, as my family research has been a back burner item for a few years now.
I thought that a book or article did come out at some point written in both Dutch and English that may support this, but it woul take time to locate.
If interested in Gerrit's written name - let me know.

Re: LANSING FAMILY JOURNEY

jimlanman — 2011-05-27 01:15:24Z

I hate to burst bubbles, but I hate the spread of misinformation even more. Fredrick (or Frederick) is a myth. He never existed. Gerrit who died in 1649 is the correct father of Gerrit who died circa 1652. Gerrit's widow (Elizabeth) remarried, and she, with her 6 children by Gerrit (3 boys, 3 girls) and new stepfather, came to the New World in 1655.
Elizabeth died in 1679. The will states that her husband is dead. The reason is to establish the children as heirs, with both parents being deceased. People have however interpreted this to be Gerrit's will, when in fact it is Elizabeth's will. The Dutch generally named their sons after fathers/grandfathers, however, no children were ever named Fredrick. The oldest son was named Gerrit, after his father & paternal grandfather. The 2nd son was named Hendrick after his maternal grandfather. It all makes sense.
'Frederick' was introduced as someone over the centuries wrote in on the side of the will - guessing the grandfather's name. The children being very young when he died may not have known it, or perhaps the transcriber heard it wrong - we will never know. But records from Hasselt at that time period establish Gerrit as the father of those 6 children, his burying his father in 1649, him being dead for the tax rolls in 1652/53, and the banns being read for his widow after, and to the New World in 1655.
Finally, in Gerrit's own handwriting in his diary/ accounting book (which can still be looked at in Holland) Gerrit writes his name - and he clearly writes
'Gerrijet Gerrijetsen Lansijnck' backer - Gerrit Lansing, son of Gerrit, baker. I would think that of all 'documents' to consider, the one with the man's own handwriting of his name should be the definitive one. He would know his father's name - especially if he was an adult and had to deal with his burial.
Hopefully the 'Frederick' myth goes away in time.
For more information, contact Bill Lansing or myself. Bill has put together a wonderful, detailed and informative book.

I am trying to connect the James Lansing who married Maria Van Duesen. Their daughter, Rachel Lansing
(b. 9.25.1803, d.9/21/1868 both in New York) married Henry Veeder (b. 10.2.1810, d. 10.20.1874 both in New York)9.28.1837. I am suspicious that James was part of the Wynkoop clan that married into the Lansing line.

amandajean78 — 2011-03-13 16:06:29Z

I am new to all of this, and I have recently inherited my uncle's life work: our complete family history.

Fredrick Lansing popped up in my line as my 14th great grandfather. The Lansing name continues in my line until the mid 1600's with the marriage of Gerrit Lansing's daughter Hilletje to Storm Vanderzee (apparently born on the ship to America). Their daughter Anna married Johannes Becker in 1684, then the Becker name continues until the mid 1800's when a daughter marries a Cook.

This is all quite interesting to me, what information do you have before Fredrick?

To Matt Webber,
Did you receive some pictures? Will you share? I am Ezra's granddaughter, via his daughter Mary Lansing.

Thanks!

Hi,
Ezra is my grandfather. His youngest child Mary Cecelia Lansing is my mother. I would very much like to see your pictures, as I do recognize the names that you've mentioned!
