• Notes

  > In my line, it is my great-great grandmother, Barbara Metz (nee Karch) who > emmigrated from Insheim in the Pfalz, near Landau with her eight children (two or > three came over first). This was in the 1860's (1866?) after she was widowed. Her > husband's name was Joseph Metz. He died in Insheim in 1862 of a bee sting. The > family left because one of the sons was going to be drafted into the army. My great > grandfather was Joseph Metz (1853). The other children who came over were Nikolaus > (1842), Anna-Maria (1843), Barbara (1845), Elizabeth (1849), Rose (1856), John > (1859) and Peter (1862). In adulthood, half lived in the Cincinnati, OH area, the > other half lived across the river in Covington, KY. > > By the way, the daughters married as follows: Barbara married John Zimmer (they > lived in Kentucky), Rose married John Strassel (no children, lived in Germantown, > OH), Mary (Anna-Maria) married George Radenheimer (also lived in Kentucky), > Elizabeth married Joseph Pontius. > > Of my ancestors in Germany, my great-great grandfather's name was Peter Metz who > married Maria Josepha Buckel. Peter's parents were Andreas Mez who married > Appolonia Schwein. Andreas parents seem to be Martin Mez and Magdalena Gademann. > All of these folks lived and died in Insheim. The earliest date I have is for > Andreas who was born in 1747. Martin and Magdalena were married in 1745. It's > possible their birthdates predate the Catholic church in Insheim. > > Back to my Metz immigrants. From my research in the 1970's, talking with one of my > grandpa's cousins, we know the two or three kids who came first lived with an > uncle. We don't know his name, nor whether he was a Metz or a Karch, although I can > find no record of any Karches here in Cincinnati, so I'm guessing Metz. My > great-great grandfather had a brother Adam, so we think that might be who it was, > because there are several Adam Metzes here in the 1860's. > > I've traced the descendents of these eight children, so I've got a handle on who > were related to in my immediate line. It's the lines that shoot off from my third > great grandfather, Peter Metz back in Germany (and the other families older than > them) that I'm curious about. > > I'm copying this post to the Pfalz-L list on Rootsweb too. > > Stan Metts wrote: > > > Is there any way to document the original Metz / Metts who came from Europe > > to America?
