I am doing research along with a cousin of mine on the SACHTELEBENs.
Specifically, we are looking for information on WILLIAM H. SACHTELEBEN.
We believe his date of birth to be April 13, 1877.
Basically, he was born in Hannover Germany, and his citizenship was
recorded sometime between 1883 and 1894. Records show that he came into
the United States at Philadelphia, PA. His father is listed as HERMAN
SACHTELEBEN on documents that we have obtained. One marriage license
application shows his mother to be LESETTA JUSTICE, deceased, born in
HANNOVER, GERMANY. Another marriage license application shows EMMA
ROTHERT, deceased to be his mother. Both applications show his father
HERMAN as being deceased as well - so I am not sure that this is a case
of his father remarrying and WILLIAM putting stepmom on a marriage
license.
Family tradition states that WILLIAM did have at least one uncle who
lived in Cincinnati, OH. I have found in the CINCINNATI city Directory
(1890-1891) and also the Ohio Census 1910 show FREDERICK SACHTELEBEN,
born in Germany as a resident.
Any help or suggestions as to how to go about searching for information
would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!
