GENEAL-FORUM

Suche Daten zum Familiennamen Bossenberger, u.a. Eckhard Bossenberger * 04.11.1828, verstorben am
10.10.1892 und Heinrich Bossenberger * 06.04.1803, verstorben am 30.01.1875 in Wolfsmühle.

Meine Forfahrer hiese auch Bossenberger (Wilhelm, sohne von Franz) und ist nach Canada ausgewandert in den 1830 jahren.

Hallo Rosi,

bitte melde dich! Wir suchen nach den gleichen Vorfahren! Bin durch Google auf dich gestoßen! Meine Vorfahren haben die Namen Minke-Bossenberger-Neumann.

Ich würde mich über eine Rückmeldung sehr freuen!

Manuela

Hallo Manuela,
In meiner genealogie habe ich Franz Bossenberger verheirated mit Elizabeth Neuman. Sind wir verwandte?
Roy

Hallo Manuela,
ich habe lange nicht meine Daten abgerufen, daher erst jetzt die verspätete Rückmeldung.
Meine Anmeldedaten haben sich dadurch auch verändert.
Inwieweit verfügst du über Informationen bezüglich der Familie Bossenberger usw.?
Gruß Rosi

Hallo Roy,
kannst Du mir bitte weitere Daten senden bezüglich Bossenberger und Neumann? Geburtsdaten - Geburtsorte?
Ehegatten usw.?
Gruß Rosi

Hallo Rosi und Manuela,
Franz Bossenberger (1791-1868) und Elizabeth Neuman hatten Sohn WIlhelm der in 1821 geboren ist. Sie sind in den 1830er Jahren nach Kanada ausgewandert. Haben sie weitere Auskunft uber diese Familie?

Vielen Dank

Meiner Meinung nach wohnten sie in die Gegend von Amoeneburg, woher andre Bossenberger nach Detroit gegangen sind.

Please excuse use of English. I am connected to the Bossenbergers of Woflfsmuhle (Erksdorf/Speckswinkel). Youngest brothers of Eckhard Bossenberger, named George and Heinrich, came to Detroit, Michigan, USA in the 1860s. Another brother, Johann, went to Missouri, USA.

Scott Jacob

Hello Scott,
Do you have records connecting your ancestors to Woflfsmuhle? I would be interested to know how to obtain birth/death/marriage info from sources in Germany.
Also, have any living Bossenbergers done DNA testing? There is a Bossenberger project on familytreedna with one member.

Thanks for any info.

Hallo Rosi!

Leider war ich jahrelang nicht in diesem Forum und habe anderweitig weitergesucht.

Dennoch würde ich gerne mit dir in Verbindung treten, da ich denke, dass uns doch die Vergangenheit verbindet.

Ganz liebe Grüße

Manuela

Hello Scott!

I think i know you from Ancestry..

Is this possible?

Greetings from Germany

Manuela

Rosi, Manuela, Scott,
If anyone is still interested, I would like to proceed with research around Amoeneburg. Records show that my Bossenberger ancestors were Catholic. Can you suggest sources such as parish records from the late 1700s that might yield information?
Thanks,

Guten Tag,

da ich in Amöneburg viel forsche, kann ich vielleicht etwas helfen. Einige Bossenberger tauchen in meinen Daten auch auf, weil sie wegen Einheirat von Interesse sind. Darunter ist auch ein Franz Bossenberger, der zusammen mit einer Anna Maria Schmidt eine Tochter Eleonora (1814-1882) hatte. Oder auch ein Ernst Bossenberger (1839-1915), der zusammen mit seinem Sohn Philipp (1873-1946) nach Detroit ausgewandert ist.

Hier ist mein Geneanet-Link.

Viele Grüße
Steffen

Danke sehr fuer seine Antwort auf meine Frage. Unfortunately my German is very rusty, so I hope you won't mind if I proceed in English. The my last Bossenberger ancestors in Germany were apparently Franz (born about 1790) and Wilhelm (b. 1821). Where do you suggest that I should look for information about births/marriages in the region around Amoeneburg, including Stadtallendorf, Neustadt, Rossdorf, and possibly others, even Marburg? Is there even a list of burials at the local churches that can be consulted online?
I am aware of Ernst who emigrated to Detroit, and this is why I am searching in the area of Amoeneburg. Perhaps Ernst is related to my ancestors.
I am very grateful for any assistance.

Since my wife comes from Amöneburg, I know quite a lot of people there. For my genealogical work, the chronicler of this town gave me a self-made copy of the old church book for some weeks in the 90s. But I only investigated the branch of my wife, so I have no further information here.

This copy should still exist, but I cannot tell you where. The chronicler died five years ago, and I do not know if this book is still in his house. The original is in Fulda, I guess.
The same holds for a copy of the Amöneburg family book which I could lend for some weeks as well. Again, this copy should exist somewhere. Here, the original maybe is in Marburg.

Concerning my Franz: I got this information from Lagis, where a lot of data can be found, but only from 1876 on. Anyway, the death of his daughter Eleonora can be found here. Her parents Franz and Anna Maria are mentioned, but it is written that they both died in Amöneburg. So this is the wrong one...

I do not come too often to my old home town, it is a five hour trip, and these Corona times held me back here in Munich since Christmas. Furthermore, I do not know the family of the chronicler too close just to ask them for the books again. Well - maybe I will do this some day because there are still some things in my tree to be clarified as well. Anyway, until then I could give you the address in a private message if you want to write to them.

Regards
Steffen

Hi Steffen,
Thanks again for all the information you have provided. I hesitate to contact someone directly without introduction, so I think I prefer to try to locate the information in the official archives first. Do you have the coordinates for the archives in Marburg and Fulda that might hold the chronicler's book and the family book? Perhaps they have even been digitized by now. All help is much appreciated.
Cheers, Roy

Hi Roy,

the church books hopefully can be found in the Diözesanarchiv. Concerning the family book, I would ask in the Landesarchiv - though I did not find much about Amöneburg in the index at first sight.

I wish you luck!

Best regards
Steffen

Hallo Steffen!

"Meine" Bossenbergers kommen überwiegend aus Speckswinkel. Ich habe jetzt versucht, deine Bossenbergers bei mir zu finden. Bis jetzt erfolglos. Sagt dir der Name Johannes Bossenberger (1759 - 1849) wohnhaft in Erksdorf, verheiratet mit Elisabeth Balzer (1766 - 1811)? Vielleicht ist der Franz Bossenberger ein Kind von den beiden?

Vielen Dank für deine Antwort!

Freundliche Grüße

Manuela

Vielen Dank Steffen,
I'll have a look at the archives to see what I can find. In the meantime, if you are in touch with the chronicler, please do give me a heads-up. Should anyone have a Bossenberger male cousin, please urge him to consider DNA as a means to advance our research. There is only a single member of the Bossenberger project at Familytreedna. <https://is.gd/3MMrx8>
Freundliche Grüße

Grüß Dich, Manuela,

leider habe ich hier keinerlei weitere Informationen. Da müsste man wohl tatsächlich noch einmal die Kirchenbücher heranziehen. Der Name Bossenberger ist in Amöneburg mittlerweile verschwunden.

Viele Grüße
Steffen

Hallo Steffen,

Danke dir für die Rückmeldung!

Dann schauen wir mal...vielleicht ist es ja auch ein ganz anderer Zweig der Bossenbergers...

Viele Grüße

Manuela

Hallo Manuela,

Manuela1972 hat geschrieben: So 31. Mai 2020, 21:56 vielleicht ist es ja auch ein ganz anderer Zweig der Bossenbergers...

So wie es aussieht, ja.

Seit Anfang des Jahres ist das Amöneburger Kirchenbuch glücklicherweise online! Nun habe ich endlich mal Zeit gefunden, alle Bossenbergers zusammenzuführen.

Die Eltern von "meinem" Franz (*1770) sind Jakob (*1733) und Anna Gertrud Kleindopf. Alle aus Amöneburg, genau wie die zwei vorhergehenden Generationen. Der früheste Bossenberger ist Johannes (1622-1682), vielleicht der Ururgroßvater von Franz. Auch er ist in Amöneburg gestorben, keinerlei Spuren in andere Ortschaften, insbesondere nicht nach Erksdorf.

Meinen Geneanet-Link habe ich ja schon gepostet, falls Bedarf besteht.

Viele Grüße
Steffen

Hi Roy,

autumn hat geschrieben: So 31. Mai 2020, 14:09 if you are in touch with the chronicler, please do give me a heads-up.

Finally, the Amöneburg church book is online! And it shows a Wilhelm Bossenberger, baptized July 8th, 1821. And his father is Franz Bossenberger.

But - his father was definitely born 1784 and not 1790 or 1791. And Wilhelm's mother was Catharina Franziska Fischer (they married February 16th, 1819) and not Elizabeth Neumann. So I wonder if we have the right guy.

Anyway, there is an information gap between 1821 (end of the church book) and 1830 (start of the civil registry). Perhaps Catharina died, Franz married Elizabeth and emigrated with her and Wilhelm. The name Neumann is quite common in Amöneburg.

At least some new information concerning Bossenbergers. Maybe it's useful. Have a look at my geneanet link which I already posted.

Regards
Steffen

Gruess dich Steffen, this is absolutely the best news for yet another otherwise uneventful pandemic day. I will spread the news to Bossenberger cousins here in Canada. With further research, it may be possible to trace the lineages back a few generations, since the records begin in the 1600s.
Cheers, Roy

Aha! I see you have already done the work on Geneanet. Has anyone done DNA testing with Family Tree DNA, My Heritage, Ancestry, or YSEQ?
Perhaps a family reunion once the plague subsides?
Roy

Hi Roy,

ich habe einen DNA Test bei Ancestry gemacht. Du auch? Wie lautet dein Name bei Ancestry?

LG Manuela

schöne Grüße Manuela,
I did not test at Ancestry, but I do have a tree. Look for Keys-Davis.
However, I do have tests at Family Tree DNA, and among my autosomal matches are Bossenberger 3rd cousins. Note that the name has become distorted to Bossenberry in Canada and the USA. On FTDNA I also created a project to which a male cousin has contributed DNA. The Y-DNA results page can be viewed here. <https://is.gd/5Gm8JH> As you can see, there is only one member. The only near match on 37 markers is a Baumgart. I would like to do more intensive Y-DNA testing at some point.
I have uploaded my autosomal results to both MyHeritage and GEDMatch. If you are present on these sites we could compare profiles.
Cheers,
Roy
