I am searching for info on Mr. Napthali Hawkes born 1868 in UK.  He emigrated to USA and sailed on the Nordland June 1905 his wife was called Charlotte.  We believe he lived in Jeanette, Westmoreland County for a while and moved to Detroit.  He was a miner but think he worked for the Henry Ford car factory in Detroit. 
Hope someone can help my search.  Jackie Ibbotson  yorkshirepudding@iprimus.com.au  (2008/01/14)

After nearly ten years and a whole lot of tearing my hair out my Arensberg line remains talented Houdini's.

So far I have found the following links.

George Arensberg born in 1845 in Baden Germany.
At sometime he immigrated to Pennsylvania, he was a glass blower by profession. He married a Mary,
and they had the following children: Walter Henry Arensberg and Rutherford S. Arensberg.

Walter Henry - born 1874
married a Mary and they had the following children,
Walter Jr born - 1900-04-14 - Death @ 1990-12-27
John Henry born 1902 - died Oct. 27, 1960 in Kentucky
Charles born - 1903 died ?
William born - 3/10/1906 - died September of 1986
Carrie born 1908 - died ?

Unsure of Walter Jr.'s children. John Henry had
two son's John Henry Aresberg Jr. (my father) and
William, (my Uncle Billy). Have not found any children of Charles or William.
Carrie had 3 children, son only known as Buddy to
unknown spouse, and second marriage to Michael Moore produced two children Son Michael Jr. and Carolyn Moore.

I have other names that are from Rutherford but unsure how they connect.
Would like to connect with anyone connected to this family in an effort to share and get a more complete tree.

I am working on the Maize/Haley family genealogy.  Most of them came from Ireland/Scotland and lived in the Pittsburgh, McDonald, PA area.  If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated. Dee at rdmaize@aol.com  (05/19/2005)

I am trying to find any information on my grandparents Max Heller and Martha Tetzlaff who immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1901 or 1902 and 1911 respectively. My grandfather lived in a boarding house in Pittsburgh we think, his work was his trade of organ repairing and building. Max met and married Martha about 1915 and they left PA about 6 mos later moving to Ohio to buy land. The lived in Cleveland a short time, bought land and moved to Northfield, OH in the summer of 1917.
Appreciate your input if you have any Heller/Tetzlaff notes.

LONG/ HOFFMAN
I am trying to locate information on the Long/Hoffman families.  What I have here is what I know for certain.  The only date for certain is that of my Grandmother, but I have little information on many other dates.  Trying to locate more information on my paternal Grandfather, to research his family

Emma K Hoffman married Walter Paul Long.  Her birth date was June 8th, and she passed away December 8th, 1988.  Walter was in the Air Force during WWII, was injured and died after returning home.  I am certain he is buried in Allegheny Cemetery, in Pittsburgh, but cannot locate any information beyond that.  They had two sons:  Walter Hance Long born on 6/22/32, and Allen Gilbert Long (birth date unknown).  They lived in Pittsburgh all of their lives, as far as I have been able to find out.

Emma had a sister who is still living (Clara Hoffman Hubstenberger), who had one son now deceased Merle Hubstenberger; and one brother Louis Hoffman, whose wife was named Connie (maiden name unknown).  They had two sons Kenneth (now deceased) and James (still living as far as I can find out).

I am trying to locate anything I can on Walter Paul.  Walter Hance is my father, but has no information on his father or his father's family.  I found my grandfather's name in the WWII Memorial, and it was placed there by someone named James Hayes "friend".  I have no knowledge of this person.

Any help anyone could give would be most appreciated.  My paternal family kept little records, and most seem to have been lost with my grandmother.  I am trying to locate information from a few states away, and it is proving daunting.  Without a birth date or a death date on Walther Paul, court of records is not proving to be much help.

Again, any direction would be most appreciated.

Researching...

I am researching the Humbert Family.  A family tree surfaced recently indicating my grandfather, Homer Jackson Humbert, b. 1861, d. 1902 was from Pittsburgh.  His father was George W. Humbert, b. May 19, 1936 then George W. Humbert, b. 1810, then an Andrew Humbert and ends with Adam Humbert, birth believed to be 1733.  There is also a connection with a Dr. Chevalier Jackson.  My father was Homer Jackson Humbert, Jr., b. 1894, d. 1954 and he was born in Chester, PA.  Any information anyone may have concerning the Pittsburgh relatives would be appreciated.
