Hi Elise,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you saw my last comment or not. I noticed that you have the surname Imhoff on your list. My ancestors are George Imhoff and Catherine Emerich. They attended the church of Saint Michael in Lohr, Do you have any information? Thanks, Charlene my email is charlen7@gmail.com
When I am researching my g grandfather Frederick William Bernard Elstermann von Elster who came to Canada from Germany, Elise and Charlene, I run into the name Imhoff regularly. As my Frederick did, he shows up in New Westminster District census (BC) and then in Prince Rupert/Essington area. There is another man, Peter Herman from Germany who also consistently shows up with them. I wonder often if they traveled together from Germany but I've never been able to find Frederick's immigration or records from Germany. Just in case you might be looking for an I'm Hoff who immigrated to BC, Canada.

DeleteHi Elise,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog when I typed in the church of Saint Michael and was reading about how you felt about discovering that family members weren't your family after all, about saying goodbye to them, how you felt so close to them. I can really relate to your feelings. We do care about them so much. I can't help but think that their is a purpose and a reason why you traveled down that line. Have you thought about putting it on Family Tree? This information is a gold treasure and it's just a matter of finding the right people to reveal it to. If it was mine line, I would give you the biggest hug ever!
I notice that you have the surname Imhof. Could you tell me more about the Imhoffs? My ancestors names are George Imhoff and Catherine (Emerich). Do you know these people?
Thanks, Charlene my e-mail is charlen7@gmail.com
