Surnames: Gaerthoeffner, Gaerthoefner, Garthoffner, Garthofner
Classification: Query
I am trying to locate anyone researching the Gaerthoefner name. There are numerous spellings of the name in the LDS IGI-index; primarily from the Bavaria area of Germany. I believe the variations in spelling are a result of the two umlauts in the name. One family, Franz Joseph emmigrated approx. 1858, living for awhile in New York, eventually moving to Wisconsin. One son returned to New York. We have identified that son's descendants. There is a question re: Franz as to whether he lost his first wife and remarried - I have not been able to prove or disprove that theory to date. On the 1860 census for New York City Franz was living in the same household with Michael (who could be a brother, cousin, etc.) - I have not been able to track that line. I know there are people with that family name living in other states (not Wisconsin or New York). I suspect they are from another line and due to the rarity of that surname I suspect all are somehow related. Anyone researching the name please contact me via email or this msg. board. Thank you.

Notes for Franz Joseph Gaerthoeffner:
I found Franz on the 1860 census in New York City, living in the same (or next) household as the Michael Gerthoffner I found on the 1850 census. Could this be a brother or other relative to Franz? Is this why son John went back to New York - to stay with other relatives before marrying Katherine Grimm?

More About Franz Joseph Gaerthoeffner:
Age at death (Facts Page): 67 yrs.
Burial Information: Date Unknown, Place: St. Nazianz, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin
Census Residence1: 1860, New York City, NY
Census Residence2: August/1870, Town of Eaton, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin
Emigration: Abt. 1858, from Germany to New York
Intention (to Naturalize): 1858, filed in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin

Additional Notes:
Death Record from St. Nazianz Parish, recorded by Rev. Peter Mutz, 1862-1880 Parish Records, copy found on microfiche at Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Record is written in a combination of German and English words. Difficult to transcribe. In March, 2002 Jean Schwonek attended a workshop offered through the Max Kade Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on "Reading Old German Script" conducted by Dr. Helmut Schmahl and Karyl Rommelfanger. Ms. Rommelfanger is from Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Dr. Schmahl is a faculty member in the History Department at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. He is a visiting scholar at the Max Kade Institute during the Spring of 2002. I asked Dr. Schmahl and Ms. Rommelfanger for assistance in transcribing the death record on Franz. Death record states his date of death, place of death, age at death, and that he was buried the following day, 19th of June in godsacre. According to Dr. Schmahl, that is an old term for cemetery. There is no mention of place of birth, date of birth or parents names. Franz was the 16th death recorded for that year in the church record.

January 2003: Researched the "Germans to America" series by Ira Glazier and P. Wm. Filby. Went through the name index for Volumes 11 through 13 which covers the dates April 1857 to December 1860. Checked all last name beginning with "G", looked for any family group with the first names: Franz and/or Joseph, John or Johann, Michael or Michel. Did not find any family "G" with these three individuals.

Notes for Catherina Helbert:
Per verbal information from John's descendants in New York:
They were told that John & Michael's mother died at sea during the voyage to the United States.
Catherine Helbert is Franz' second wife and the mother of Joseph.
NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED by Jean Schwonek

Catherina appears on 1860 census with Franz, John and Michael (Joseph unborn). If this is his 2nd wife, he married her prior to 1860 federal census.
