Subject: Sandner vulgo Sandtner, Santner

Unsere Familie ist seit vielen Generationen in Bayern ansässig, wobei die ersten Vorfahren, die wir bisher ermitteln konnten aus Tirol stammten. Die Informationen sind allerdings äußerst lückenhaft. Zum einen ein Ratsprotokoll von 1644: "Antony Sandtner aus Tyrol gebürthig", zum anderen ein Eintrag in einem Lehenbuch von 1650 über diesen Anton Sandtner: "Antony Sandtner vermeldt 1619 Bartolome Sandtner filius".
Es könnte also sein, daß Anton Sandtner, der erste Vorfahr der sich in Bayern niederließ aus Tirol stammte, dort wahrscheinlich 1619 geboren wurde wobei der Name seines Vaters Bartholomäus war. Mehr insbesondere irgendwelche Orte, haben wir bisher nicht ermitteln können.
Wir würden uns sehr freuen ein e-mail mit ein paar guten Tips (möglicherweise von der Tiroler Verwandtschaft) zu bekommen. Vielen Dank im voraus! Peter Sandner

Subject: Steinhofer in Baumhacken

My grandfather, Joseph Steinhofer, immigrated to the U.S. in 1908. His naturalization papers list Baumhacken as his home town yet we are unable to locate it. Are you aware of a village/city with that name? Stories from aunts and uncles indicate that it is possibly on the Hungarian/Austrian border. I am trying to locate that village/city as well as my grandfather's brother, Jacob, who stayed in Europe.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've traced my paternal ancestry back to my Great-Great Grandfather. Any information on his ancestors would be appreciated. Here is what I know:
According to the 1900, and 1910 Census records for McCook County, town of Salem, in the State of South Dakota USA, I provide you with the following:

Name: Franklin Blassl (My Great-Great Grandfather)
Date of Birth: Mar. 1847
Place of Birth: Aust. Germany
Year immigrated to the United States: 1885
Year married: 1870
His parents were listed as being born in Aust. Germany

His Wife: listed as Mary in the 1900 census, and Amilia in the 1910 Census.
Date of Birth: Aug. 1848
Year immigrated to the United States: 1888

Their children: Franklin - born Aug. 1881, Joseph - born Oct. 1883, and Gus (My Great Grandfather) - born Sept. 1884. All were born in Aust. Germany. These 3 brothers immigrated to the United States in 1888 as well, probably with their mother. There were 2 other siblings, but no indication of them on the Census records. They may have remained in Germany.
Her parents were listed as being born in Aust. Germany
Any information would be appreciated. Duane A. Blassl

I am searching for information on Franz Josef POHL before and after he immigrated to the United States. On his naturalization paper, he listed Neustadl, Austria as his last residence. He left the Port of Bremen on the 3rd of October, 1855 and arrived at the Port of Galveston (Texas, USA) on or about the 12th day of December, 1855. Franz Josef POHL and his wife Anna Maria LEGLAR (LEGLER?) and their four children: Franz, Jr., (age 8) Anna & Sarah (twins) (age 5) and Anton William (age 11 months) arrived from Austria and settled in Fayetteville, Fayette County, TEXAS, USA. Later moving to Schulenburg, Texas and Hallettsville, Texas. I, also, need to know where in Austria that I could write for background information (births, deaths, marriage, Catholic Church records) regarding both Franz Josef Pohl and Anna Maria Leglar (Legler). I believe that Neustadl, Austria is near the banks of the Danube River. If anyone may know of his/her surviving relatives in Austria or the USA, I would appreciate any and all information that you could send my way.

My ancestors on both my mother's and father's sides were Tyrolean. I am especially interested in the history of the Austrian Province of South Tyrol (Tirol) which was ceded to Italy in around the time of the First World War. My family to this day declares that they are and always will be Austrians--although the language is definitely an Italian dialect. Since I have found some relatives who are also interested in preserving this very distinctive, little-known culture, and have discovered some interest abroad as well, I am very interested in hosting and coordinating a site for this particular "country." Can you advise?
