Rists in Germany

taylorvj1 — 2012-03-10 05:15:07Z

I have had wonderful success with the emigration record for Joseph Rist in Wiesertsweiler Germany, and in ordering microfilms to search for more relatives. Joseph Rists father was Innozenz Rist and Genovefa Baumann, and have found the names of many siblings. My question is this - does anyone know when Laimnau records will be placed on familysearch.org?
I'm getting absolutely no green leaves on my new names. I know they are correct, but am curious as to why I'm not getting any information about my German heritage as I had lots of leaves on my tree for England and Canada.

I am trying to research my grandfather, all I know about him was that he was adopted as a young child by his married sister and that his last name may have been Montgomery or Montague before the adoption, but I dont know where else to turn

General Lafayette Rist born 8-16-1883 was my grandfather.
He married Stella Cathline Heusser on 9-3-1913. They had 5 children: Ada Leona Rist 1914-1981, Evelyn Frances Rist 1915-1935, Henry Louis Rist 1919-2008, General Leland Rist 1918-2010, and my father Clifton Raymond Rist 1923-2004. I am just beginning this search and don't have alot of info. but I hope this helps! How are you related to the Rist family?

BENJAMINMARIAM — 2012-01-22 01:03:20Z

There are two newspaper articles: Canton Register Volume 9, on page 135 and in the London Times (London Mill, Illinois newspaper)Volume One page 41 on the Rist family.
Also, am confused as to Jacob Rist (were there two Jacob Rists?) Did Jacob and Mary E. Orbin have 13 children with birthdates from 1816 to 1844 (sounds unlikely). I have John Henry Rist born 10 Nov 1816 clear down to a George W. rist born in 1844 in Illinois. Did he have two wives?

BENJAMINMARIAM — 2012-01-22 00:56:58Z

In my research, I have a Louis H. Rist born 27 March 1852 in Illinois and married Mildred W. Sampson. I only have General Lafayette and Leona as their children. Were there more? I would like more information on your line of Rists, starting with General Lafayette and his wife and family clear down to you! Mary Jo

sandy_james_4591 — 2012-01-21 23:07:53Z

General Lafayette Rist was my grandfather. Louis Henry Rist was my great grandfather and John and Jane were my great, great grandparents. Do you have any data on Louis Henry Rist ie: wife, children and date of death?

Joseph Rist, b. 1853 Wiesertsweiler Germany

taylorvj1 — 2011-07-14 02:53:58Z

I have my great great grandfathers emigration record from Wurtemberg Germany in 1870. He came to Pennsylvania first, and then on to Canada in 1877 and married my great great grandmother the following year. I have lots of information on him once he arrives. But none before he came except this emigration record.
I'm having trouble reading the German script of the record, and was looking for help. I've tried to attach it here, but with no luck. There is a fathers' name which I can't read, and a name for a 'nurse'...but a blank spot listed for mother. I'm wondering mostly if the record shows he is an orphan. If it does, then where do I go from here? Are there orphanages in that part of Germany that would still have records of orphans there?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

John Rist of the Bullskin 1790

TheBountyUsk2 — 2010-04-19 10:09:30Z

I wish I could find someone who knows something about John and Jane (Strickler) Rist from Uniontown, Pa. I have one document that Jane was buried in 1810 on the family
farm north of Connellsville, Pa with her son John who died in 1833. Supposedly they no longer have stones. John remarried to a Christina Strickler and had several more children. They aren't any relation I guess to the Rist's at Broadford, but Henry Rist was the protector for Joesph Sherrick Rist and his older brother Martin for a short time before he died in 1846.
If anyone has any information, please contact. Vikki

Looking for family history of Julius Rist. Born 1894. Left Lodz, Prussia in 1910 for Philadelphia, PA from Hamburg, Germany. Died 1980. Married to Elsie/Elsa Hiebner. He was my grand father.

Re: Would like information

pyogat1 — 2010-01-30 02:59:04Z

I have a lot of information on the Rist line you are referencing. My great-grandmother was Caroline Elizabeth Rist (1877-1945). Her brother was Frank Almond Rist (1867 - ? ). They were both born in Wisconsin to Charles Almond Rist and Phebe Ann Miles. There were six children in the family. Charles Almond Rist (1841-1909) was born in New York and died in North Dakota. His father was Silas Bowen Rist (1812 - 1897).

Re: Phoebe Rist

patrickrist1 — 2009-07-14 15:22:08Z

The information on Nicholas Rist having his wife imprisoned for witchcraft is incorrect. She was indeed imprisoned, but by the accusations of some others. Nicholas petitioned a judge to have his wife released. His plea for his 72 year old wife is quite touching.

A Google search on "Nicholas Rist" will turn up these documents.

Rist, Joesph and Sarah Garver

GEORGEWBLACK_1 — 2008-07-10 21:46:11Z

Haven't made a note for a long time. Still trying to figure out what my great-great grandfather's name was. Too many people with the same name.
My great grandmother was Sarah Garver from the Dunbar township between Uniontown and Connelsville. She married my great grandfather Joesph Samuel Rist. Joesph and his little brother Martin were born there, married and moved away.
Their mother's name was Sarah Rist. Her husband died about 1841. The two boys even though they were with their mother were wards of the orphans court as was the custom of the day. A Shallenberger was the overseer for a time then Henry Rist stepped in and took over.
Sarah remarried to Alexander Hamilton Stewart and they had more children. Many didn't live to maturity.
Martin and his brother Joesph argued about religion in about 1870 and Joesph added an "e" to Rist. I have documents to share.
Please help, there were several families in the same area with the same names which makes it even more complicated.
Thank you for any help....., Vikki

The only information that I have is that Bella Scandrol married one of my Granduncles (My Great Grandfathers son).
I found that information in the 1870 census of Fayette County, PA.
As I was looking at Ancestry.com to contact you I got some new information which you may already have.
Bella is Isabella born 10 Dec 1851 in Baldwin, PA died 1891.
Paul Scandrol is Paolo Scanndroglio born 29 Jun 1842 in Italy, died 6 Jul 1906 in PA. I found this info in One World Tree and Paolo arrived in Allegheny Co in 1877 info from Passsenger and Immigration list index 1500's-1900's. my email address is later9981@comcast.net. I will try searching more on Wednesday when I am off work.

I'm trying to contact the author of these posts "esm54". On their family tree (Family Tree 667) there is a Paul Scandrol and his daughter Bella Scandrol listed. I have been trying to find out any information on the Scandrol family from Allegheny county PA for some time and it seems like you may have some. I tried to find out how to contact you by the regular method on Ancestry however, it wouldn't allow me to do so. I am related to Earnest Scandrol who was living next to Paul Scandrol on the 1900 Census so I think they are probably related. Please contact me if you have any info that you could share. jimlisa1020@optonline.net
