Charles Loges

hannover-l

Hi - I am new to the list. I have been researching my gg grandfather for years and seem to be stuck. He is Charles Loges, b. 1835, birthplace as Prussia or Hannover, Preussen. His father is Anthony Henry Loges, mother Wilhelimine Bedecker.

He came to the USA, year unknown. He left a family behind and family rumor was that he told them he would send for them, but never did. He remarried and raised another family in New Jersey.

His son from Germany came to the USA after his father had remarried . His sons name is Albert Carl Loges, b. City of Bremen, Nov. 22, 1855. Emigrated to the USA April 19, 1871 arriving in New York, May 8, 1871.

I am looking for the wife and remaining children of Charles Loges that were left behind in Germany.

Any suggestions or help would be greaty appreciated.

Thank you,
Betty Depee

Hi Betty:

Lets look at what you have:
Charles Loges b. 1835 place may be Hannover, (City or
KOH)? Was Charles his real name?

Anthony Henry (Heinreich) Loges wife Bedecker.
Anthony his real name?

Not much there, but Albert Carl Loges b. Nov. 22, 1855
immigrated May 8, 1871.

Here is what Castle Garden has to say about Albert:

First name Last name Occupation Age Sex Arrived Origin
Ship
Albert Loges Unknown 15 M 6 May 1871 Hanover Bremen

Now my logic: Charles Loges was born possibly Hannover.
Castle Garden states Albert was from Hanover. Your info
is that Albert was born in Bremen. Castle Garden states
he came over on the ship Bremen. Since Albert was born in
1855, it appears that Charles did not leave Prussia before
that. I can accept the two day difference on Albert's
arrival in the U.S.

I think Hanover is more than likely the home of your ancestors, now are we talking about the City of Hanover or the Kingdom of Hanover? This is a big difference.

Now what?
