Part 929bg – GGG-Grandmother Catherine (née Ganzer) Brunhammer 1844 Death Registration

09 December 2018

Good Day,

Well, sometime in genealogy the hunt can take many different turns. This morning I discovered the 1844 Death Registration of GGG-Grandmother Catherine (née Ganzer) Brunhammer.

Rue Ste Blaise, Dornach
Mulhouse, Haut-Rhin, Alsace
France

All this time I was looking for a registration under the name of Brunhammer. Who knew that she was registered by her maiden name Ganzer? It is just one of things that, when doing genealogy research, one must expect to think outside the proverbial box.

GGG-Grandmother Catherine (née Ganzer) Brunhammer was the 1st of 3 wives of GGG-Grandfather Joseph Brunhammer. GG-Grandfather Jacques Brunhammer was, based on my research their eldest son, and the Brunhammer who left France and with his family came to the United States.

I noticed that her passing was reported on the 14th of November 1844 by GGG-Grandfather Joseph Brunhammer and her 27-year old brother and GGG-Granduncle Nicolas Ganzer. She had died at her home, on the evening before the 13th of November at 5:30 pm.

This information is also an update. Previously I reported GGG-Grandmother Catherine’s passing in October 1844. It is now updated to the 14th of November 1844.

The Brunhammer-Ganzer home was on Rue Ste. Blaise in Dornach, which is a part of Mulhouse in Haut-Rhin, Alsace.

Yes, I found above, on Google, a current day mapping of the street where the Brunhammers lived.

Here is an image copy of the 1844 Death Registration –

And if your eyes are better fine-tuned to reading the script, please note that this is my attempt. I would most welcome any other thoughts that would help to correct my mis-reads and/or omissions.

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.

Part 928bk - Updated Brunhammer Katz Descendant Tree Chart

02 December 2018

Good Day,

As I mentioned I have linked into what I believe is the Katz Family line reaching back to 10-times Great-Grandparents Katz.

The information includes documentation and references to BMD registrations, especially in and around the towns of Durlach and Pforzheim in Baden, Germany.

Here is a created Brunhammer Katz Descendant Tree.



The Descendant Chart follows up to 10-times Great-Grandparents Conrad and Catharina Katz. Remember it was their 6-times Great-Daughter Marie (née Katz) Brunhammer who immigrated with her husband, Great-Great Grandfather Jacques (Jacob) to the United States.

The newly inserted/changed details in the Brunhammer Katz Descendant Tree have been added since my last update. The inserted and changed details are in red. I have also added many offspring and children to the main database.

The search continues.  And I just keep on going.

If you have any comment, question, thought, idea please feel free to contact me via email at A Genealogy Hunt or jsmith58@gmail.com.

Regards,

Jim
