Glauburg Family information

Hello Everyone,

I am brand new to the list. Sorry I do not speak German. I do use Google to help me translate though I find the translations a bit confusing at times.

I have been throughly chastized for my misinterpretations on another site so bear with me if I make a few mistakes.

I am interested in any and all information I can get on any individual with the Glauburg surname.

My Great Grandfather Hendrick Glauburg came to America aprox 1873 - 1784. Some papers say he came from Germany, Some say he came from Holland, some say Prussia.
I have nothing straight from my great grandfather as absolute proof, just family talk and have found many mistakes in family lore. I also know that the use of a prefix with a name such as von, van, dom, de, or others basically means of in English. I also know that before 1811 very few actually used surnames in the old world. I also know that in Holland or so I have been told that families often honored the adults attending a christening by giving the child their name, so it was not uncommon for a child to have three, four or more first names, or for multiple children in the same family to have a combination of the same names repeatedly. This has been proven many times over in my Fischer, Padburg, Gent and other lines connected to them.

I am there fore seeking any information on any glauburg/glauberg family in the netherlands, prussia, germany, france, belguim, russia, or any of the territories that was constantly changing jurisdiction or kingdoms during anytime prior to 1873. I would like to connect the Hendrick and ludwig Glauburgs that came to america during that time to their origins. Below is information that I have gotten from Amsterdam records:

Information I have found in the Americas:

Glanburg, Henry Holland 54 Dec. 24, 1877 Dec. of Int.
(If he is 54 in 77 then that would put him born in 1823.)

Glanburg Henry Christendam 54 years Philadelphia,PA Jan 1873 24 Dec 1877 Holland (i can see how in the old handwriting that Amsterdam might be misinterpreted for Christendam, and the name is actually Glauburg on the actual document)

New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957
Name: Hendrick Glauburg
Arrival Date: 2 Feb 1874

I have seen a copy of the ships register and it does have a Henrich and Lodwijk Glauburg on the passenger listed and they have them listed as 45 and 26.

Because of Family lore, I have been trying to connect my Glauburg line with the Glauburg line from Frankfurt, but today was informed that there is no way possible,in no uncertain terms, although as you can see below others besides me believe there may have been other children born to the marriage and think that there may be more children than the remaining records might indicate.

heinrich Ludwig von Glauburg 1753-1828 &1779 Maria Margaretha Baur von Eysseneck 1755-1808

o Unbekannter von Glauburg
o Unbekannter von Glauburg
o Unbekannte von Glauburg
o Unbekannte von Glauburg
o Unbekannte von Glauburg
o Marie Elisabeth von Glauburg 1780-1865
o Johanne Caroline von Glauburg 1786-1866 &1816 Ferdinand Maximilian Starck 1778-1857
o Marianne Eleonore von Glauburg 1789-1863 &1816 Felix August Peter Joseph Freiherr Stregen von Glauburg 1782-1854

...
o Henriette von Glauburg 1790-1854 &1827 Anton Ulrich Freiherr von Holzhausen 1754-1832

...
o Auguste Amalie von Glauburg 1796-1863
The above information was taken from another person's family tree and also has noted that the above heinrich Ludwig von Glauburg married abroad and in 1779 there was record of the lawyer of the "dutch captain" applied for citizenship for the couple.

Married 10 March 1779, "auswärts", to Maria Margaretha Baur von Eysseneck 1755-1808 (Das Bürgermeisterbuch von 1779 (im Stadtarchiv Frankfurt) verzeichnet am 6.7. eine Bittschrift des Anwalts des holländischen Hauptmanns Heinrich Ludwig v. Glauburg, "seine auswärts vollzogene Heirat und die Zulassung zum Bürgerrecht betr."),

Married 10 March 1779, "abroad", to Maria Margaretha Baur Eysseneck from 1755-1808 (The 1779 book by the Mayor (in Stadtarchiv Frankfurt) recorded at 6.7. A petition of the lawyer of the Dutch captain Heinrich Ludwig v. Glauburg, "his marriage performed abroad and admission to citizenship re ")

So please any thoughts information or direction is most appreciated. Again sorry this is very long.

Hello Nancy,
welcome to the list here.

Hello Everyone,

I am brand new to the list. Sorry I do not speak German. I do use
Google to help me translate though I find the translations a bit
confusing at times. I have been throughly chastized for my
misinterpretations on another site so bear with me if I make a few
mistakes.

I don't think anyone will chastise you here, and there will always be somebody able and ready
to do a bit of translating for you too.

I am afraid I cannot help with your specific questions about your Glauburg family. I could go
into assumptions and suggestions, but I don't think this would help you all that much. Hope for
someone here who can be more exact.

Just wanted you to feel welcome, as others do I'm sure.

I also

know that the use of a prefix with a name such as von, van, dom, de,
or others basically means of in English.

While the prefix 'von' and 'zu' usually meant the bearer of such a name belonged to the noble
gentry of Prussia or Germany. Friedrich-Wilhelm von Kertin zu Plomdorf would mean that
F.-W. family (sur-) name was Kertin, and his estate would be situated at Plomdorf. Probably a
large agricultural property with a manor house (Schloss = castle) and one or two villages full of
tied cottages for the farmhands and maids and their families. Some houses a bit larger, but still
'tied' to the estate being occupied by the forester, the head cowman, and definitely the bailiff
(the top employee who has studied agriculture and runs the farm for the 'Gnaediger Herr')

Of course one of these 'von and zu' people hardly had reason to emigrate, unless he had lost
all his properties at the gambling table or was perhaps a second, third son who did not inherit,
but then these often came into wealth and assets through godfathers and such. (Long, long
stories ...)

I once learned at school about an incident where a mine owner of the Rhineland area had no
money to pay the Polish miners he had brought in to work for him, and he gave them all the
title 'von' to bear before their names, hence the von Kaminskis, von Borewskis, von Lowitzkis.
Tried to find info about it on the net, but couln't.

Never mind your ancestors do come from Holland where all is different because the 'van'
usually means a place they come from.

I also know that in

Holland or so I have been told that families often honored the adults
attending a christening by giving the child their name, so it was not
uncommon for a child to have three, four or more first names, or for
multiple children in the same family to have a combination of the same
names repeatedly.

This is still the case in Germany, in families who do keep up some traditions anyway.
That is why many of us have to grin and bear it that we have old fashioned names, like
August and Wilhelmine as second and third names, but on the other side just these old names
experience a renaissance nowadays.

Once again, welcome to the list and bye for now

Such a request does nothing for you but getting you so much information
you become lost in the maze of information.

Start with what you know and can verify and work back.

Have you found your Henry Glauburg in the 1880 and later Census?
Do you have a death record and/or obituary for him.

Where do the Census say he was from? And where did he live in the various Census/

There is no Henry Glauburg in the 1880 Census on FS. The only person
with a birth year about your Henry's is a Lazarus Glauberg riving in NYC
and from the given names probably Jewish. I doubt that he is your Henry.

Thanks Bob for the welcome and the suggestions. I will keep them in mind. I have just received a book from a Glauburg descendant and am going to attempt to translate it before I post again, and I will have a much better ideal of what I am looking for.
sincerely
Nancy
