Hello all!
I have not seen any postings from English speaking subscribers, so I
apologize in advance, if this is not appropriate.
I am searching for data on ancestors and siblings of August PONTO born 4
August 1825 (or 1824). He was from Radosiew, (in 1840) near Hammer in Posen at
the time he married (the widow of Johann Gottlieb Krueger), Hanna Marie
Henriette RACH who was born 9 Jun 1818 in Sophienberg (Netzekreis?). Her parents
were Martin RACH and Eleonore Ernestine Sasse.
August PONTO and Henriette RACH had the following children:
August Gustav PONTO, 1 May 1852 Buchwerder, Kreis Czarnikau
Albertine Pauline PONTO, 23 Sep 1854 Buchwerder, Kreis Czarnikau
Friedrich Wilhelm Ponto, 9 Feb 1857 Hammer, Kreis Czarnikau (he died 4 Dec
1862)
Gustav Adolph PONTO (our grandfather) 17 Jul 1859 Hammer, Kreis Czarnikau
Rudolph Emil PONTO, 8 Jun 1861 Radolin, Kreis Czarnikau
August and his son August, emigrated from Posen in 1872 to America.
Henriette, Albertine, Gustave and Rudolph emigrated from Posen in 1875 to
America.
I have not found the birth record of the father, August Ponto of Radosiew.
Any replies from subscribers would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
