WOLF, LAZARUS (1841-1930)

WOLF, LAZARUS was born in Lancaster County, PA (depending on the source you use) between 1840 and 1844. Per a questionnaire that Dorothy Wolf answered in March 1986 for me, he was born Sept 1, 1841 and this is the date on his gravestone (per www.Findagrave.com) in Terre Hill at Terre
Hill Cemetery.   

Lazarus Wolf

 He was the son of Michael and Lydia (Ulrich) Wolf. He married Elizabeth Anne Newpher (probably born May 3, 1847). At this point, I do not know who her parents were or when Lazarus and Elizabeth married.

Per the 1850 Census, he was residing with his parents/siblings at Brecknock, Lancaster Co., Penn.

Lazarus is listed in the Lancaster City and County Directory of 1884 as working in a saloon in Terre Hill.

I have been told by various family members that there were 17 children who survived to adulthood, but at this point I cannot verify this.

REVISITING JACOB & SUSANNA (BOEHM) RESSLER

Image
In the January 1993 issue of Mennonite Family History Magazine was the below article on the family of Jacob & Susanna Ressler focusing on the line of Samuel Ressler (1804-1876). To be truthful, I am not very familiar with this line as I am descended through the next older boy, Daniel (1802-1901).  However, there are a couple things in the article I would like to correct or add to, so please continue to read below the nice article. 1. The first couple paragraphs is about Johann Heinrich Rossler/Ressler and his immigration.   “He was accompanied on the ship by two other Roesslers: Johann Georg Roessler and Conrad Roessler.”  Per the response to a Nov. 1963 letter of Nina Briedenthall (translated by E. Jaeger) asking about the Roessler roots in Wunsiedel, Germany “I would guess that the 3 brothers Roessler, that came 1750 to America, were descendants of Pastor Christoph Roessler in Kirchenlamits…” I have posted the translated letter in its entirety the blog here:  ( http:

WELCOME FOLKS

Image
Please Note:  I am not comfortable with putting personal info on here for family members who are still alive, this blog revolves around family members who have passed on. It contains photos, documents, and memories.   The whole point of this blog is to share the info I have collected or been given over the years. If you notice a mistake, please contact me with the correct information. Source: Bing clip art W ELCOME The little town where I live in Indiana has recently (since Thanksgiving 2011) had 4 house fires.  The victims all have lost family photos, documents, and heirlooms.  I'm not stupid enough to think it can't happen to me.  So, I decided to post on here info on my (deceased) family members, so the photos aren't lost and all those documents that I collected over the years as I worked on the family genealogy aren't either. My mother's family has been in Lancaster County, PA since 1717 (other stories and secondhand info says 1710) when they came from

AFFLERBACH HOUSE IN GERMANY

Image
This is the Afflerbach (Applebach) family home in Womelsdorf, Germany.  The farm has been passed down thru the generations to various family members and is still in the family.  When this photo was taken in May 1978, the resident was Karl Afflerbach.  While I lived in Germany, I visited with he and his wife and ate meals with them.  They proudly showed me the dark, low ceiling rooms that had been the original house back in the 1500's.  In Germany, houses used to be named and this one is the "Kraemershaus". Here is the same house in 1925 (source: Familienbuch Afholderbach-Afflerbach by Karl & Jost Afflerbach, published 1986, page 132):  Below is a medieval drawing or wood cut of Berleburg, which is the county seat of this area.   Two maps from "Familienbuch Afholderbach-Afflerbach" by Karl & Jost Afflerbach.  The one on the left shows the area of West Germany that the Afflerbach family originated in, and the map on the right shows the coun
