BIRKENSTOCK in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe

[kivaas]

Friedrich Carl BIRKENSTOCK (* 3.6.1808 in Bad Homburg, +10.5.1872 in Frankfurt) war Gastwirt in Frankfurt. (Er war 2x verheiratet, seine Ehefrauen waren Schwestern mit dem Familiennamen NEEB.)

Sein Vater Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Birkenstock (15.3.1777-??.??.1836) war Stadtschultheiß in Bad Homburg, also dort ortsansässig, möglicherweise sogar dort geboren. (Er war 2x verheiratet, erst mit einer Sophia Sybilla und dann mit einer Anna Maria.)

Dessen Vater BIRKENSTOCK wiederum soll von Beruf Landwirt und Metzgermeister gewesen sein, allerdings weiß ich hier weder den Namen noch die Lebensdaten. Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen?

Hat vielleicht jemand diesen Artikel bzw. dieses Heft:
Heinrich Heuse: Die ältesten Generationen der Familie Birkenstock in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Hessische Familienkunde Band 10 Heft 8 1971, Sp. 341-344

Hi, unfortunately I cannot write in German so please excuse me. My name is Willem Birkenstock, born in Durban, South Africa.

I am in the process of drawing up our Birkenstock family tree in South Africa, and have reached a dead end with the our earliest traceable forefather being Johann Joseph (or Jozef) August Birkenstock. He was born in Homburg, Germany in August 1828 (or 1827), emigrated to South Africa and passed away on 18 August 1889 and buried in Utrecht, Natal, South Africa. He married Susanna Catharina Scheepers on 18 June 1851 in Vryheid, Natal.

We also have an old family photograph of Johann Friederich Wilhelm Birkenstock, born 15 March 1777, in Germany ? and passed away 4/2/1836 according to writing at the back of the photograph.

Can anyone assist me tracing the family link back as I can get no birth records of Johann Joseph (or Jozef) August Birkenstock in Germany.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Willem Birkenstock

Your ancestor Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Birkenstock, born 15.3.1777 in (Bad) Homburg vor der Höhe and died 1836, is also mine.

From his first marriage with Sophia Sybilla Neuhof (or Nonhof) I am aware of one child, Georg Friedrich Birkenstock, born 1803 (married 1835, died 1882).

From his second marriage with Anna Maria (whose maiden name might have been also Birkenstock, but I'm not certain) I know of two daughters and three sons, the sons were born 1808, 1816 and 1818.

Is your South African ancestor their brother, or a son of one of the elder sons?
