Homesteader Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 As much as I use Google I never ran into this before. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I can see I'm in trouble. I was up until 1:00 am doing genealogy research. I can see THIS site won't let me go to bed. Quote Link to comment

Synn Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hey you guys! I found my family! The Patterson line I was looking for.. I did a google search 2 weeks ago and found some info.. From there I spent hours reading and researching! It helped that I remembered some of the names my mom had told me years ago. And from reading the book that another relative has! I was so excited. I didn't know that google offered this either until that day! IT IS GREAT!!! Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 SCMary...... Maybe you could help me with this name... Stossmeister...... My grandfathers name was Robert.. Erie PA. I found one census I think it was his from 1930. It said he was born in 1910. I believe this was him. But without a sub I couldn't get any further.. Thanks, Dawn Quote Link to comment
Wheeler Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Dawn... these are the Stossmeister's that I found in the United States in the Census: 1870: Alolp - age 40 Emilie - age 15 Theodore - age 55 1900: Adolph - age 70 Albert - age 42 August - age 38 Fred - age 41 Kate - age 41 Margaret - age 75 William - age 33 1910: Adolph F. - age 39 Fred - age 48 Mary C. - age 42 Robert - age 56 William - age 42 1920: Adloph - age 48 Auguste - age 54 Mary C. - age 55 Ottilie - age 58 Ruth E. - age 21 Could any of these be yours? The only Robert Stossmeister that I found was in 1910 in Newport, Campbell County Kentucky. He was boarding with Elizabeth and --- Morgan and their three children. He was male, white, 56 yrs. old, single, born Ohio, German, speaks English, works in machine shop, can read and write. Could this have been the father of the Robert that you found in the 1930 census? The other names on that census page sounded German as well. Let me know if you'd like to know something about any of the others. Quote Link to comment
Synn Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Well I am truly at a loss. Adolph sounds right but I don't really know. Quote Link to comment
