WOLF WEYAND TREUDE BIRKELBACH VOELKEL GOEBEL SASSMANNSHAUSSEN MARBURGER AFFLERBACH

Submitter:

Henry Wolff Jr.

In anticipation of the 750th anniversary celebration of the village of Erndtebrueck in 2006, I am researching any families that immigrated to Texas from this and nearby villages in Siegerland-Wittgenstein, Germany. A number of these families settled at Shelby, Austin County, in the mid-1800s, others elsewhere in Texas. This included my own ancestors, Christian and Marie Elisabeth Weyand Wolf (the original family spelling) of Zinse just out of Erndtebrueck, in 1851, along with Christian's brother Frederick and his wife Marie Elise Treude. Both families settled in and around Shelby. While I have the Wolf family well-documented in Germany and Christian's line in Texas, I need additional information on Frederick's family in Texas in Fayette and/or Washington County. There are a number of other families in the Wolf genealogy from Erndtebrueck or nearby villages who had members immigrate to Texas including the Weyand, Treude, Birkelbach, Voelkel, Becker, Sassmannshausen, Marburger and Afflerbach families. Others known to have come to Texas include the Martin, Althaus, Goebel, Menn, Wied, Riedesel and Wunderlich families, some settling at Shelby, others in and around Yorktown in DeWitt County, and yet others in the Hill Country. There are other names familiar to both the Shelby and Erndtebruck. areas such as Hassler, Wagner, Herling, Bald and Schlabach. While I have information on some of the families, there are others for which I have found little information. For those who I have not established a family contact, I would like to hear from any family genealogist who could provide any of the following information -- the family members who immigrated to Texas from such villages as Erndtebrueck, Zinse, Grossenbach, Wolmensdorf, etc.; their parents in Germany, children born in Germany and Texas, where they settled, what ship they arrived on (if available) and the year, and any interesting family stories of their voyage or experiences in settling in Texas. This project began with research on my Wolf family, including a trip during the summer of 2001 to Erndtebrueck and Zinse. Due to the many connections between the various families with ancestral ties to the Erndtebrueck area, I have extended my research to include all the families of which there are now thousands of descendants in Texas and elsewhere in the United States. It is amazing how much the immigrants from this one small area of Germany contributed to the settlement of Texas. Should you have an interest in contributing to my research, please contact me by mail, Henry Wolff Jr., 1704 Milam Dr., Victoria, Texas, 77901, or e-mail at wolfhaus@txcr.net

Help, Please. Looking for info on Elender Wallace. Based on court records, Elender lived in Fayette Co., TX during 1869. Trying to determine husb's name & any ch but I do not have access to any TX census records for that period of time--if she even appeared on the census. Elender Farr (dau of Thomas & Mary FARR/Fulton Co., GA) was married several times: m1: Coleman Goldin; m2 __?__ Powell; m3 __?__ WAllace. Notes in probate files indicate she "married a man named Powell & moved to Texas". However,in April 1869 (when she appointed her former bro-in-law Pleasant Goldin as her atty-in-fact), she was known as Elender Wallace. Poss she wound up in Lee Co, part of which was taken from Fayette ? Any info would be appreciated. Will be glad to exchange/share info.
