Michele,
Go into my tree and you will see what I have. I recently attached a scanned image of the marriage certificate for Philipp Jacob Urban and Catherine Gass. It says that they were from Morsbronn at that time 1828. They had three children: George (our direct ancestor), Henry and Jacob. I believe that this Jacob died in the Buffalo, NY area.

The Jacob that you are seeking must be a cousin.

I show that Philipp Jacob was the son of Johann Jean George Urban, born Mertzwiller 17 Aug 1750 and died in Morsbronn 1803. Mother was Marie Salome Reissner 3 Feb 1760 (unknown birthplace) and died 1 Jan 1835.

If you have trouble viewing my tree, let me know.

Regards,

Robert Constantine
Buffalo, NY

Re: Neffas, Maass, Fregin, Kirdulis, Nemchausky connection

lietuvagen — 2012-03-18 02:27:44Z

All of these surnames are related. Brothers, Walter and Joseph Neffas. Their sisters were APOLONIA KULIKAUSKAS FREGIN, CLEMENTINA STUNGIS AND BARBARA LAPINSKAS. Martha and Joseph, daughter and son of Joseph NEFFAS,Sr. Genevieve NEFFAS MAAS and Benedict NEFFAS, children of Walter Neffas. WALTER NEFFAS,SR. married DOMICELE KULIKAUSKAS.

Marilyn NEBRENSKY married Joseph NEFFAS, JR.died in 2008 in Wisconsin.

As far as I know, there are no more living descendants. This is a very interesting family. Joseph NEFFAS, Sr. was my great uncle. His first wife from RAMYGALA was FRANCES URBONAS NEFAS from RAMYGALA. His second wife was Carolina Kulikauskas. The two original brothers, and their sisters came from RAMYGALA, Lithuania. Joseph (Bronislavas) NEFAS came over on the same boat as my grandpa ANTON URBAN.

As far as I can tell there is only one living descendant, a WALTER HANKINS, the grand-son of Joseph NEFFAS' first marriage in Lithuania. Neither of the NEFFAS boys had grand-children. The sisters,however, did. ELIZABETH NEFFAS LAPINSKAS had a large family. Clementina STUNGIS had two sons. All children born in Chicago.

I want to learn of the Neffas family in particular because they cut a wide swath in Chicago from 1900 to 1955 with the death of the last son. The NEFFAS HALL is mentioned in Lithuanian publications before 1910 in Cicero.

Walter NEFFAS ran a hotel and bar on OAKLEY.

Looking for information on John M Urban (Urbanovic). Came to the US around 1900, can't find where he lived prior to early 1910 records that show him in Boston, MA. Married Elizabeth H. Smith of Ireland. They had a son, Edward J. I am his daughter.
Any thoughts on where he might have been 1900 to 1910? Thanks you.

Urban family from a town with a name similar to Neuendorf

cowboydan76 — 2012-03-01 09:18:21Z

Okay so I've been trying to research this family FOREVER. I've found an immigration record indicating that my 3x great grandpa Albert Urban arrived at New York via Hamburg and Le Havre on the Ship "Bohemia" in November 1881. He was a teenager at the time, and was traveling with his younger brother Joseph and widowed mother Theresia. St. Louis directories later list Theresia as the widow of Wenzel, though Albert's death certificate lists his father as also being named Albert. I believe Wenzel is much more likely since it is more contemporary and since the informant, Albert's wife, never would have known his father.

The Hamburg passenger list I've found appears to list the hometown as Naundorf. The larger political subdivision appears to start with an "L" and end with an "ien" (like Schlesien), but the rest of the word doesn't look like Schlesien to me at all. Without more hints, a town with a name similar to Naundorf narrows it down to...I don't know...several hundred, I imagine. The family was Catholic, which does sort of narrow it, I guess. I'm hoping that someone with knowledge of German naming patterns might be able to narrow it further. Wenzel and Theresia seem like somewhat uncommon names to me that might be mostly exclusive to a handful of regions.

US Census records uniformly identify him as Prussian, which would seem to eliminate Bavaria as a birthplace since Bavaria was never Prussian territory. Ditto with Baden. So that would, off the top of my head, seem to leave places like parts of Hessen, Niedersachsen, Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, and probably all of Schlesien. I'm sure I'm missing one or two.

This is probably of absolutely no help, but I have a picture I believe to be Albert in the late 1880s, and he appears to be slightly stocky and to have dark hair, eyes, and a bit darker than average skin for a German.

Anyway, I'm just hoping that someone can help me crack this case. I'm dying for new information on the Urbans and where exactly they came from.

I have a Jacob Urban born 1813 in Conestoga Township, Lancaster Co, PA. He does not have a son, John, that I have found so far. However, I am very curious about your Jacob Urban, born 7 Feb 1781, in Conestoga Township, Lancaster Co, PA. He may very well be the son of Ludwig Urban. I have a son, Jacob, for Ludwig but have not been able to find his exact birth date. It's not in the Trinity Lutheran Church Records, where most of his brother's and sister's are located. Where did you get the birth date of your Jacob Urban? This may solve a long time mystery for me. I do have a Jacob Urban and wife, Maria who show up for Communion in 1806 at Trinity Lutheran Church. And a marriage record for 24 May 1805. "Married on the 16th inst. in the town of Manheim, by the Rev. Dr. Ernst, Mr. Jacob Urban of the borough to Miss Maria Liverich of the former place." Also, the Jacob Urban I have born in 1813, had a daughter, Anna "Annie" who married and lived in the Borough of Manheim. My email address is Nanmell@ptd.net Regards, Nancy from Lancaster County, PA.

MANSFIELD, Ohio: Ernest George Urban, 89, passed away from this life to the next on Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at Winchester Terrace Nursing Home where he has been lovingly cared for during the 28 months of his battle with Alzheimer's disease.

He was born June 27, 1921 in Buffalo, New York to George and Julia (Zelenak) Urban.

He came to Mansfield, Ohio in 1939 and worked in the Brass Machine Division of Barnes Manufacturing until 1958 with time out to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps at Parris Island, South Carolina.
He was then sent to Shoe and Textile Repair School in San Diego, California. Upon graduation, he was sent to the Marine Base at Camp Pendleton, California.
On August 3, 1946, he married Mansfielder, Donna Etzwiler, the only child of Ralph and Mary Vogel Etzwiler, at the Lutheran Chapel of the Pines in Oceanside, California.
After returning home, he worked at the Westinghouse Design Center for many years as a Model Maker, retiring in 1983. As a youth, he was the fourth generation of his family to serve an apprenticeship in the shoe making trade. He became interested in antique hand-tools. He and his wife did extensive research in early American type costumed craft shows. Their hobby lasted for 38 years and took them all over the eastern U.S.
He was well known as the Colonial Shoemaker with the highlight being a 10 day appearance at the Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington D.C. sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution.

He was a long-time member of the Early American Industries Association, the Mid-West Tool Collectors Association and former member of the Ohio Tool Collectors.
He belonged to several Western Style Square Dance Clubs throughout Ohio.
Ernie was a Charter Member of the Ohio Genealogical Society where he was a volunteer worker in their library.
He was also a member of the Richland County, Ohio Genealogical Society and a member of the Richland County Museum in Lexington, Ohio, the Butler-Clearfork Valley Historical Society, the now defunct Antiquarian Club, the American Legion Post #16, the AARP, and a former member of the Ohio Arts and Crafts Guild.
He was a 65 year member of the First English Lutheran Church where he was the Property Manager during the 1980's.

Ernie is survived by his wife, Donna Etzwiler Urban; two daughters, Eileen (James) Nunamaker of Ontario, Ohio and Janice (Kevin) Crowl of Cincinnati; six grandchildren, Erica (David) Bayes, Elise Elliott, Elizabeth Barley, Edith (Terry) Emerson, Matthew (Mindy) Demyan, and Rachel Demyan; ten great-grandchildren, in birth order, Seth, Zachary, Douglas, Haley, Megan, Molly, Jessica, Mary, Ian, and Jacob; one step-great-grandchild, Kyle; sister, Golda Mott; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters; one brother; and his wife's parents.

Ernie, it will not be easy to live up to the high standards you set for your own life. You were truly a self-made man. You will always be the beloved head of this family.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 10, 2010 at the Diamond Street Home of Wappner Funeral Directors, 98 S. Diamond St., Mansfield, Ohio officiated by Pastor Paul L. Larson.

Anyone with any info? Anna's first husband Sylvester Pieknik died in 1930, she died in 1953, they would have been married sometime between these dates.

Hill Cemetery is in Killen, Alabama, which is near Green Hill -- not too far south of the Tennessee line.

Hi Pam, I would love to get a copy of that book too! If you will send me your email address I'll send you a .pdf file of what I have so far on my Landtroops/Lantrips. If you could send me what you have as well that would be great! It's always good to get new information. Thanks,

Michael,

I'm just beginning to collect information. Apparently there is a book, The American Genealogy of the Lantrip Family, by James and Ivolue Lantrip that contains an exhaustive history. I do not have access to it, and it's apparently out of print. I am told the Landtroops are in it since that is just one of many spellings of the name. I am told it traces the family to John Lantthorpe, born around 1647, who came to the colonies from England as an indentured servant. Is this information you already have? If not, I'm happy to share what I've gathered.

Pam

Susannah E. Landtroop was the aunt of my 2nd great-grandmother "Lodemia A. Landtroop" who married Felix Donald Moss, John Thomas Landtroop was Lodemia's father.

Do you have any information about Stith J. Landtroop or Mary Polly Agee or their parents on back...Thanks for any help you can give.
