I am interested in any information on my great grandpartents Gustav J. Seibel and Anna (Annie) who immigrated to the US in 1880 from Germany. They located in Philadelphia, PA. They had seven children. My grandparents moved to the Los Angeles area where they lived and died. Last contact was from my dad's Aunt Ida (Benedict) from Montebello, CA in 1962 when my great grandmother died. Any information would be very much appreciated. Carrie M. in VA.

My grandmother Amanda Seibel, her father August Seibel, her mother Emma E> Hallmann(?), August's father Johannes Jost Seibel and August's mother Elizabeth Achenbach(sp?)from Germany. Johannes had other children. Searching archives for many years...August Seibel (my great grandfather) settled in eastern Iowa. Have heard family mention Gustave, Annie, and others... do not know if this is connected with your family.

Hi, Could you please share any info. that you heard about Gustave and Annie with me. It would be great to know if there is a connection between families and I could find about more about my great grandparents. Thank you for your help.

Gustav and Anna are the parents of my grandfather, Joseph F. Seibel. (grandmother is Margaret A. Donnelly) Their son, Thomas J. Seibel was my father. They had 6 other children.

I think we have been in touch.

Thanks for your response with all the wonderful information. I am elated! This is great! Do you know anything/history about Gustav and Anna. I can't find any social security info. on Gustav following his death. The information I have is basically through census info., draft records and so on. I do have post cards, a few letters,etc. that my grandfather, Joseph Vang, had kept from his wife (my grandmother) Carrie Seibel who died at age 39 in 1936. Any info on who they were, what their life was like, etc. I was wondering what made them move to Corning, NY. That is where Joseph met and married Carrie. I would be glad to make you copies of the family stuff I have - do you have any family info. Any info on any of their children, etc. would be appreciated. Why did they move to California. I know Gustav was a pattern maker. My name is Carrie (named after my grandmother:) I was born and raised in Corning, NY. This adventure of discovering my relatives is so rewarding. I am delighted that I have made contact with relative. Thanks, again!

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I don't know if you finished your research or not. I would like to share some of my info although I only have knowledge of the Philly Seibels and didn't even know Anna and Gustav.

Please let me know.

Hi, I would love any information you have to share. My great grandparents Anna and Gustave Seibel resided in Philly where some of their children were born (one being my grandmother Carrie was born). Thank you so much! If you would like my e-mail address or my home address I will provide you with them. I look forward to hearing back from you:) I have not finished all my research but I'm making good strides as a novice in using this site.
