MILITARY

Henry Kosbab met Maud Mary Westlake while she was visiting Hampton Court one fine summers day, and fell in love with him.  He was in army uniform, so what war is it connected with?  It would have been around 1897-1899.

Does anyone recognise the army uniform worn by Henry Kosbab and can tell us any more about it?

Henry Kosbab and his brother JACK were said to have been in the trenches in France together and Jack suffered from frost bite (foot rot)  Who was JACK? No brother that we know of was named Jack. Could Otto Junior have been nicknamed Jack?

Another anomaly here is... If Henry Kosbab was born in Germany and migrated as a child to England, could he have served in the British Army?  

Possibly Otto Kosbab served in WW1 with the Australian Army and suffered from terrible mustard gas burns. 

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

We have never been able to locate the birth certificate or place of birth of Henry Kosbab.  We do not know if he was born in England or possible Germany.  There are some who think it is odd that the first 2 children of Otto and Louise Kosbab basically had the same Christian name, Henry and Henrietta.  Another anomaly here is that Henrietta's birth certificate gives her father as Henry Kosbab not Otto.

Kosbab Frank

631 i. Myrtle Waggoner was born 27 Apr 1881. She married twice. She married Frank Kosbab. She married Wesley Sweney June 1903.

CHRISTIAN NAMES

Is it true that in Germany (way back when) that the boys were given three (3) names, and that they may have been known or used by all three?  The parent using one name, the siblings another and friends/grand parents the third name?

Is it true that the first born son generally took the Christian name of the father?  If this is the case, would there be any explanation why the last child was given the fathers name... Otto?

Karin, Thank you for such a great website! You are doing such wonderful work! I am searching for the surname Kosbab. Edward Kosbab was born in 1857 in Hinter Pommern, Germany. His wife, Augusta Gewanzki, Genofske, Genowski (not certain of spelling) was also born around 1857 in Hinter Pommern. Edward had 2 brothers and 1 sister (possibly more). Edward and Augusta were married about 1875 in Hinter Pommern. Edward came to Sandusky, Ohio, U.S.A in 1878 and Augusta came in 1881. Edward's brothers, August and Albert Kosbab stayed in Hinter Pommern. Edward's sister, Henrietta Kosbab, married Wilhelm Nutzki, and also settled in Sandusky, Ohio, U.S.A. Would like to learn what town in Hinter Pommern the Kosbab family came from. It is possible they came from the area, formerly known as Stolp, Germany, but I have found no evidence of the exact name of the town. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Marcia, Sandusky, Ohio, U.S.A.

The EAST END NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE was established in Cleveland in 1907 (inc. 1911) by Hedwig and Anna Kosbab, daughters of Josip Kosbab, a Hungarian immigrant. Located at 2749 Woodhill Rd., the settlement has served the BUCKEYE-WOODLAND-Woodhill community. Initially, the Kosbabs offered sewing and cooking classes for neighbors, but soon created a formal organization to meet the needs of HUNGARIANS, ITALIANS, and other Southern European immigrants moving to the area. The first Board of Trustees of the East End Neighborhood House included SAMUEL MATHER, ROLLIN WHITE, and ORIS P. VAN SWERINGEN. By Hedwig's death in 1922, the settlement had served nearly 70,000 people with classes, clubs, and recreational programs. During World War II, the settlement sponsored scrap drives and blood donations, as well as a controversial relocation program for Japanese-Americans within its neighborhood in 1944.

Johanna Kosbab

My father's father, John Herman Bartz, and Mary's father's father, Paul Bernhard Bartz, were two of the sons of Wilhelm Bartz and Johanna Kosbab. The family immigrated to northern Wisconsin in about 1872 via Hamburg from a place called Bandsekow (don't know how that is/was spelled in German/Polish), Kreis Stolp in Pomern. Stolp is one of the small cities around Stettin.

Johanna was born in about 1846 and died 3/25/1931 in Hayes, Wisconsin.

Johanna's family had already settled in the Shawano area, and one of her brothers, Theodor (b. 11/1835), sent them the tickets for the ship.

Johanna's sister, Henrietta (b. 3/1858), married Edward Suring. The 1920 Census of the U.S. - Wisconsin, Ocotno County, says that she immigrated in 1872.

Both of Johanna's parents also immigrated and were living in the Shawano area in 1880 - the family is listed in the 1880 census and one of Wilhelm and Johanna's other children (Wilhem - "Uncle Willy") was living with one of the Kosbab families at the time of that census.

I can't remember what her father's name was - her mother's name was Sarah, and I was always told that her maiden name was "Kuschel".

We have no birth or death certificate of Wm Westlake (Maud Mary Westlakes father).  The 1881 Census says he was born in Horrabridge, although this could be Stampford Spiney.  The registrar could only find a William Westlake for 1850 born in Lynford with parents Wm Westlake and Maria Worden. 

A Wm Westlake was christened in Horrabridge in 1853 to parents Wm Westlake (blacksmith -born Buckland Monachorum) and Ann Gilbert (born St Austell).  It is believed he died during the second world war.

On his marriage certificate he gives his fathers and his own occupation as Smith.  The two witnesses were William and Edward Gilbert possible brothers of Ann Gilbert.  A William Gilbert with the right age was located in St Austell.

On Maud Mary's birth certificate, her father (Wm) is a Blacksmith but in the 1881 Census he was a Railway Labourer.

HINCHEN Louise

The 1891 Census states Louise Hinchen came from Berlin, Germany.  We have no other proof or evidence to support this?  Any clues?

Could Louise Hinchen originally been something else like Kinchen... ? (see next topic)

HÜNCHEN Louise

According to Charlie Kosbab the surname of Louise was HÜNCHEN with one of those little things above the Ü. 

What we know about the word Hunchen:
Hunchen is a small bird in Austrian, 
Hunchen is also a fish: HUNCHEN THE FISH  
Hunchen is also a christian name: (oh dear)

The following links were returned when searching for the word Hunchen but I cannot locate the name in any of the files.  It is now my opinion that Hunchen was not Loiusa's real surname.  It may have been her original middle or christian name but my gut feeling is due to the lack of evidence.

The 1881 CENSUS

The Kosbab family was not registered in the 1881 Census.  
Luckily for us, the talents and sharp eye of Carol Haley spotted the following:

Census Place: Twickenham Middlesex England 1881

This is the Kosbab family.  We can only assume due to accents and the skills of the enumerator and transcriber were the cause of the obvious error...

On my family we have a Henry Pelcher Westlake who was b. 7/31/1831 Fayette Co., W. Va., d. 5/1899 Mexico City, Mexico and who m. Mary Lindsay Todd b. 4/2/1835 Quebec, Canada dn d. 6/171903 Weed, N.M.
They had Mary Margardt b. 1859, George Bracee b. 5/4/1861, Charles Thomas b. 1864, Edith b. 1866, and Henry Lindsay b. 1869.
My problem is, who is Henry's parents? In all the stuff that I have collected sofar, I can't find him anyway. My wife ties directly through the George Bracee b. 1861 lineage. Since "I have loads of descendant info on these Westlakes", I was wondering, can you place him anywhere? Thanks...

Rosser - Origin of the name

The name Rogier was introduced into England by followers of William the Conqueror and the name Roger developed as a surname among the English, French, Catalan, and Low Germans. Variations include Rodgier, Rogger (English); Rodger (Scottish); Rosser (Wales); Rogier, Rogez (French); Rogger, Rottger, Rottcher, Rodinger (Low German). Numerous cognate forms exist, as do patronymics, which include Rodgers, Rogers, Rogerson, Rodgerson , and many others.

Rogers : English/French Patronymic name from the given name Roger which was brought to England by the Normans as Rogier. Its elements are hrod = renown + geri = spear, or `reknowned spearman.' Requested by Darryl Rogers

Ross is an English and Scots place name from a place near Caen in Normandy, which was the original home of the family ‘de Ros’ who were located in Kent by the year 1130. Some names have more than one origin depending on the family, and Ross is one of those. Occasionally, it comes from a Gaelic word ros that meant ‘promontory’ or ‘upland’ and there were several locales named with this meaning in mind. Also, somes Ross families are descended from an ancestor who bore the Germanic given name Rozzo, which meant ‘reknown’ in its original sense. Finally, the German breeder or keeper of horses was sometimes called Ross, from the Southern German word ross = horse, or the man who lived at the house displaying the sign of the horse might also come to bear this name. Requested by Drew Ross

The answer would appear to be that it is definitely Welsh. When I was young I was told that it was Scottish-Gaelic. Later I read that it was Welsh. I have since traveled in both Wales and Scotland and done a "phone book check". There are NO Rossers in Scotland outside of major cities such as Edinburgh, and hardly any there, although "Ross" is definitely Scottish.   However in Southern, especially Southwestern (but not at all in Northern) Wales there are lots and lots of Rossers in the phone book. Supposedly the name means "spear bearer" and there is a coat of arms in Wales.

I think that the ultimate origin is Ireland. There were invasions of Wales from Ireland at the end of the Roman Empire period, and the southeast corner of Ireland is called "Rosslare". In the Book of Ballymote about the Irish ogham alphabet system, the Tree of Ross was the yew tree, from which poison-tipped spears were made. Also, as in Russian, in Arabic, "ras" means "head" or "first". There is a definite Hamitic input in the Welsh language, probably dating to trade with Phoenicia during the period of the building of Stonehenge.

Pommern

Hallo Brian   There is no Bandeskow in Kreis Stolp/ Pommern.   There are two villages south of Schwerin named Bandekow, but that's not Pommern;-(   Probebly this tiny little village is named Bandsechow. My friend is a specialist for Pommern and he has got a list of all places in Pommern including numbers of families and inhabitants. So Bandsechow was the only choise, which came near to Bandeskow.   He gave me that information about Bandsechow: It is placed near Stolp and Lauenburg/Pommern. It has had 78 Families and about 300 inhabitants.( Till 1945) I prepared a little map, so you can see the approximate position.   On monday i'll take contact to the registrar's of Bremerhaven, former Heppens, weither they got still the proof's of my grandfather Albert Hinrich Carl.   I hope, I get on forwards.   ys geko

Our NPF-funded computer lab has helped our seniors learn more about technology and the World Wide Web. It really has helped bridge the gap between the generations," said Jerry Kosbab, who runs the Arthur McCants Manor neighborhood computer lab.

"Is this our Jerry ? I reckon it is."

Regarding the name Kusibab - on checking some 8 pages on Yahoo it would appear that of the total that comes up for Kosibab they are all practically all related to two people - them there dancers in the good ol US of A.

There was this on Kusibab though

LIBERTYVILLE, IL, 23 giugno 1997 e ss. Capitolo ordinario della Provincia di S. Bonaventura negli USA, presieduto dal Ministro generale fra Agostino Gardin, presente fra Bill Robinson, Ass.gen.; sono stati eletti:

* Il Ministro prov. era stato rieletto mediante scrutinio diretto epistolare.

I think that it is quite likely the name is Kosbab, and that they migrated to Poland and this is a Polish rendering or mis-spelling of the Kosbab name. I found Debica on my old Atlas, but not Sepnica, nor could I find it in the older or the lastest Atlas, although I found an article on the Web, (In Polish of course) with a mention of it. Something to do with Wine and/or vinyards. Unfortunately Alta Vista does not have a translation program for Polish to English!

Flushing comes up again. That's the town the couple in Budock told me I'd find the Hodgers, but I note that our Fiona has it as Hodges not Hodgers. May be the same though. Once I have my 1881 Census back on computer I will check for her.

What you do with LDS Microfilm numbers

Find your nearest LDS (Latter Day Saints - Mormons) Research Centre.  Ring them and ask them to obtain the film quoting the relevant LDS number (Microfilm 1960620 Marriages-Sepnica, Poland), for which they will very kindly charge you money, about £2.75.
They will then request the LDS microfilm from either their HQ here or in Utah. When it arrives they notify you and you have around about one month in which to get to the research centre (which you have to book) in order to view the film. You can then ask for photo copies. Sometimes they person who is in charge of the very special photo copying machine (they cost a whopping £7000 each, and no that's not a mistake) is not there. They are very helpful people and they more than willing to guide you.

Der Spiegel Tackles Wind

I did not realise that there were tests being done on wind energy (Give me bakebeans and I will show 'em energy)...
Der Spiegel Tackles Wind
Klaus Kaiser has posted the text and pages from a recent Der Spiegel article that examines wind energy in Germany. The article has caused something of a stir in Germany and Klaus has posted a reply. The text of both is in German--and it's not school book German either--but you can get some idea of it by identifying the cognates. For example "Muhlen Monstern" and "visuellen Emissionen" give you a good idea of the author's topics. The article's deck or summary asks whether the wind turbines in Germany are the beginning of a green utopia or the Republic is wasting its money
and our Kosbab thinks...
Painter Thomas Kosbab lives in Wasserkoog. Poplars and elms border his cottage. The sky curves high an blue; the sea murmurs from afar. A scene like a Nolde painting. And now? White rotors saw up the air above Eidestedt (a peninsula jutting into the North Sea from Schleswig-Holstien). "What an offense," says the artist, "the landscape is spoiled."
