Hello Listers:
I am currently researching my family HERZOG in an attempt to research my family CIECMIEROWSKI.
Great grandmother, Victoria HERZOG, b. 21 NOV 1864 in Poland/Poland-Germany/Germany(depending on the source).
Great grandfather, Frank CIECMIEROWSKI, b. 4 OCT 1859 in Poland, and Victoria emigrated to USA abt. 1888 with one child, Mary, b. 5 NOV 1886. They were reputed to live in the Albany area before going to MN.
According to census records, a son was born in NY, Jacob CIECMIEROWSKI, b. 14 JULY 1890. This somewhat confirms the stay in NY. I have not found record of the birth. All other children were born in Owatonna, MN.
According to census records in MN- family HERZOG lived next door to family CIECMIEROWSKI (Joseph HERZOG, Mary HERZOG, et. al.) for many years. Probably not a coincidence. Joseph HERZOG is about two years older than my great grandmother. In fact, there are a few family HERZOG's in Steele Co., MN.
Long story short-
I searched census records for CIECMIEROWSKI in NY to no avail. Then I search for HERZOG, and found a family HERZOG in Rensselaer Co., NY. This is the Albany area. This family my have ties to my HERZOG family.
Philip HERZOG, b. 1831, Hanover, Germany, and Christine WAGNER HERZOG, b. OCT 1829, Hanover, Germany. This family had seven daughters, all born in NY beginning 1859.
I am curious if there are any HERZOG's from Hanover that know about/related to the family Philip HERZOG from NY via Hanover. I would like to know if they are related to my family HERZOG.
Thank you for your time.
