Well, this list has only been in existence for little over a week and we
have only a few members. I'm sorry that more folks have not yet
subscribed. The message has to get around that we are started up to narrow
a field that up until now has been covered by NYWESTERN. It offers the

Hello everyone!
I am interested in finding out if the Wyndham Lawn Home for Children (in
Lockport) is still in existence today. My grandfather, Frederick T.
Devlin, was placed there for a short time in 1897. He was about a year
old at the time. Is there anyone out there who might be able to tell me
a something about the facility...perhaps a description? I'm just
looking to add something more than statistics to my family story.
Thanks very much for any tidbit!

Hello fellow listers. Since there doesn't seem to be much activity yet,
thought I'd post some of my surnames and see if there are any out there
researching them.
Flammer, Purdy, Reinboldt, Sugg, Preischel, Schwartz, Schmitter,
Steinkirchner, Herringklee, Barten/Barton.
Nearly all are from the 1800's to present day and most from the City of
Buffalo with the exception of Preischel, Herringklee and Barten/Barton -
East Eden, NY; Schwartz-Lancaster, NY.
I appreciate all responses. Glad to give more specifi
The following are listed as members of the German Singing Society of Buffalo
(NY), the 'Liedertafel', in 1868. This was the oldest singing society in
Buffalo. The names are from a composite photo of the members on page 104,

My 2nd great grandfather, "Florence" Ehrman, came from Alsace
Lorraine to Buffalo, Erie Co. NY before 1830, as a child. His parents
were: Marie and Joseph EHRMANN. I don't know the year they
immigrated, nor the name of the town, for sure, they came from -
believed to have been in Lorraine France.
My 2nd gr grandfather's name was spelled several ways:

Well, to help get the ball rolling, I'll toss in my query:
I'm looking for the family of a Laura Elizabeth Phillips, born either 1822

HAAS family tree of Buffalo and Erie County, NY
My paternal grandfather (Wm. Frederick HAAS) in Buffalo drew up a family
tree in 1927, showing only names, no dates or places, and no first names of
spouses.
The tree starts with Michael HAAS and his seven children: Katharine,
Margaret, Barbara, Jacob, Elizabeth, Madeline, and Michael. Both parents
and all these children were evidently (from US census data) born in
Alsace/France.
All or most of the above children (at least) probably emigrated to Western

Dear Subscribers,
I am very happy to see this list. I have spent alot of time researching Erie
County lately and need some help looking for my ancestors.
Chester ANDREWS was born in New York about 1792, not sure exactly where.
First record
found of him is Buffalo, Erie Co., NY in 1814 when he enlists in the War of
1812 as Chester ANDREWS. He appears on the census for Clarence, Erie Co. for
both 1820 and 1830 with an Erastus Andrews, possibly an older brother.
Records show he married Rachel CONANT in Lancas
Hello everyone!
DREWER or DIENER / REGENHARDT / ROTTGER / Rieger
I am looking for a lost female sibling to my Frederick Regenhardt and
sisters, Fredericke Regenhardt Rottger Rieger, and Caroline Regenhardt
Rieger.
In Frederick's 1895 obituary (in Niagara) a Mrs. William Drewer was
listed as his sibling living in Buffalo. However, I have never found a
William Drewer or a wife. I do have a hint of information that leads me
to believe that somehow DIENER was transformed into DREWER for the
obit.
