NILL; BRANDSTETTER; EGGERT
 
I am looking for any information about Pauline Brandstetter. She was a sister of my father-in-laws grandma. Pauline was born  15 JULY 1864 in Jebenhausen, Germany, and left for USA before est. 1886. She married (Robert?) NILL and lived probably in Allegheny. I found some information on http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tandnmca/monongahela/monsec4m.html 
about Monongahela cemetery in North Braddock. There I found a ROBERT NILL stone with PAULINE NILL (1864 - 1951).
 
After a visit in Germany in 1932 unfortunately all contact was lost. Are there any NILL descendants still living around Braddock / North Braddock / Pittsburgh?
 
Another sister of Pauline, named Friederike or "Ricke" Brandstetter (b: 28 JUN 1854) left for America, too.
She was married to (..) EGGERT, but I don´t have any information on her at all. 
 
Thank you. Michael Siegle  rieker.siegle@t-online.de  (2007/07/08)

 

Hello, I'm looking for data about the family of Otto R. Oehm, born Dec 24, 1881 at Dunkirk, NY, married to Louisa M., born 1874 in Germany. They had five children: Herman, born 1904, Edna, born 1905, Howard, born 1906, Richard, born 1909, and Earl, born 1912.  1910 they resided in Reesport City, Alleghany, PA, 1920 in Chicago, Illinois, 1930 in Pittsburgh, Alleghany, PA. According to his military registration card Otto Oehm resided in 1942 at Pease Rd, Wexford Pine Twp, Alleghany, PA. Most probably his wife has died before 1942. Actually there is a good chance that Louisa M.'s maiden name was "Engel". In that case she is related to my wife and came from St. Wendel, Germany.
