open questions

 

 

There are many questions for which I would love to get an answer. Some of them had already been mentioned elsewhere on this site.

 

 

From where comes the name, are there any other family names which are related to ours, where do the Stoerkels come from?
Are there earlier citations of the name?
• Which documents in the federal archive of Hesse could provide hints regarding  Stoerkel/Erbstadt before 1600?
• Is there a connection Erbstadt – Neu-Anspach/Usingen? In which manner was the original name spelled there?

 

• Where in our village used to have the earliest Stoerkels their property?
 
• The frequency of the first name Johannes is a real challenge:
Is my family tree corrent in the context of the very early „Johannes“ and „Johann Wilhelms“?
• Is my family tree correct in the context of the many "Johannes" of the 18th century?
 
• From where came Michael Stoerkel, the father of the wife of the initial „Wirtspeter“?
 
 
• Is there any information about the sisters of Daniel Stoerkel who emigrated together with him (or even before) in 1837: Katharina (Catherine), Anna Margaretha, Dorothea Elisabetha and Maria (married as Mary Bird in Cincinnati)?
In the years between 1930 and late 1940s several letters have been exchanged between Grete Störkel and two ladies from the USA. Who knows Mrs. Hubner from Hamilton, Ohio and Mrs. Hornung from Brookville, Indiana?
 
• Has anyone contact to descendants of other emigrants: Konrad Stoerkel (married to Elisabetha Kriegsmann, emigration about 1850), Wilhelm Stoerkel (*1810, emigration 1838),  Johannes Stoerkel (*?, emigration 1838)?
 
• There is a Georg Rudolf Stoerkel, married to Katharina Luise Reinemann and father of, at least, three children: Katharina (*1906), Lina (*1910) and Georg Franz (*1912). I can´t assign this Georg Rudolf to anyone else as I have not found his baptism in the church books.
Which connections exist to Heldenbergen where our family name is already mentioned in the 15th and 16th century?
• Is there a connection to the Stoerkels from the Alsace region?
