My name is Inge Trageser-Glaser, I am
living in Speyer, Germany, a small town on the river Rhein in
south-west- Germany (palatine= Pfalz). I was born in
Frankenthal/Pfalz. My father, Johann Ferdinand Trageser was born 1919
in Mainz, married with Elisabeth Glaisner. My grandfather was named
Ferdinand Trageser, he was married with Elisabeth Zimmer,
they lived in Frankenthal and in Mainz before.
I didn´t know about so many people with the name Trageser, in our
region there are no Tragesers except of my mother and my sister, and
me. If you want to know more abaout my town, you can find a
lot of informations at www.speyer.de
Kind regards

I havn't yet located any TRAGESER in my line. But, while reading the earlier messages, I saw the HUTH name. I have traced my HUTH line back to Michelbachand would like to hear from anyone who also has that name.
Thank you. Peggy

Thank you so much for a
wonderful site.
Johann Georg Trageser was my 3rd great grandfather. I have pictures of
Fr Louis Tragesser and his brother Fr George Herman Tragesser (I don't
know when the extra "s" was added). They are the two sons of Johann
Georg and his second wife Mary Ann Shanefelter. I also have pictures of
tombstones of Vorstegs.

My great-great grandparents
were John
Trageser, 1822-1888, founder of Trageser Copper Works in New York City,
and his wife Augusta (Ackerman). I'm descended through their daughter
and probably eldest child, Adelheid. John was born in Alzenau, Bavaria,
and Adelheid in New York City in 1849 (several years earlier than he
shows up in city directories. Daughters included besides Adelheid (who
m. Edward Welcke in the 1860s): Augusta (m. John Werrick); Amelia (m. ?
Lautz), and Emma (m. Samuel Taylor). Sons included a John, who went
west at an early age, William and Albert.

He lived there for some time and their family moved to I. T. and bought land from an indian family and settled there. I need to find more exact info on this family while they lived in Ill. I need to know if they had land there before moving to Ks. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Charlotte Seikel

Hello,
I came to your site because we're restoring an old (original) 1895
Victorian house. One item we're looking for is the large copper hot
water storage tank. This tank was close to and connected by pipe to the
wood burning cookstove in the kitchen. It seems the heat from the stove
would heat the water in the copper storage tank for many household
uses. No gas or electricity was ever used. Help!

Hi,
I found your name on the web.
We just moved into a 1905 Brooklyn house and we will have to replace
the good condition hot water heater - w/ the Trageser name in copper on
it. Between the quality and family name, I thought maybe
someone
might actually want it, or part of it? Of course, it would be free; I
just didn’t want to throw it away w/out checking with someone
first.
We’ll be replacing it soon.

Thank
you for taking the
time to detail the Huttinger linage back to 1848. I would love to know
your resources. I believe I am the great-great granddaughter of your
earilest entry for John Huttinger. I think we herald from the Rhine
region of Germany (black Forest - black German for the dark hair
color). I had found nothing until I found your entries. Your databases
are giving me information that time had erased from my fathers memory.
Thank you so very much. If you have direction you can give me for both
free and fee based sites I would appreciate it, I am just starting this
journey.

We
returned from a visit
to Freigericht, Germany and have more information on Trageser family
lines. We meet many new cousins, relatives and friends; and, made new
genealogy contacts. It appears that nearly everyone who has 17th
century ancestors from the villages of the Municipalities of
Freigericht and Alznau are related. We are trying to put the entire

In
my February 2004
Tragesers in Manhattan entry, I said that my ancestor Conrad Trageser
(born about 1842) was the Brother of John Trageser of Steam Copper
works, but Conrad was not old enough to be John's brother and what I
was really told was that "John the boiler maker" was the uncle of
Conrad's son. Now I think perhaps great uncle is more accurate. If
anybody knows who the parents of John Trageser founder of Steam Copper
Works was I would like to know. I have no leads on where Conrad came
from or when he came other than that he was born in Germany. I am also
curious whether the other people who's email addresses were in this
guestbook last February have been receiving the African "dear please
won't you give us money the we will give you more money" scam spams.

I
am a trageser that was
born in Baltimore, Maryland (1966). This is a great website. Thought I
would pass on my family info for other to view. My father was George
Trageser (born in 1933 in baltimore). His father was George Trageser
(Born in Baltimore in 1893. His father was John Trageser (date ??). We
believe that the father to John (John again) arrived here from
frankfurt germany in the mid 1800's. Interesting fact - There was a
local pub in baltimore on harford road that was named Trageser's. It
was on Harford Road. The owner was my grand father George's brother.
The pub is no longer in existance. I traveled to Germany in 1999 and
spent some time in Munich & Dachau. There were many Tragser's
listed in the phone book in Dachau, north of Munich. Interesting.

Thank
you for the web site
Jim.
This is an Incomplete list of Tragesers in Manhattan during the late
l800s which may include some inaccuracies.
My Sister wrote in the 1970s that our ancestor Conrad was the brother
of John the Boiler maker, which would make me some a cousin to some of
you. I asked my sister where she got that information but she does not
remember. Conrad's son Henry/Harry built a steam car and gave car rides
for money at Coney Island back when cars were still a novelty. I wonder
if the Steam Copper Works played a role in the creation of the Henry's
steam car.

George and Marie Trageser were born in Germany, Married in New York,
moved to Cincinnati Ohio, and finally had a large extended family
living with them in California during the 1910 census. One or both of

Hi
Jim, My husband comes
from the Tragesers and Strebs of Altenmittlau. His 3rd ggrandfather was
Mathias Streb b. January 17, 1807 in Altenmittlau and d. July 20, 1882
He married Mary Antonia Trageser. She was born January 14, 1808 and
died October 20, 1887. Both are buried in Baltimore. They came to
Maryland July 31, 1851. They were part of St. James Parish in
Baltimore. I was wondering if you know of anyone that we could contact
to find out more on the Strebs and Tragesers of Altenmittlau? Thanks

From
a distant cousin to
today's Trageser's... I am inviting other visitors to this site to
review the contents of my online family history file, to be found at...
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jmuller3 ...for the purpose of sharing
information
on the families of the Freigericht area, and for commenting-upon or
adding-to or correcting or critiquing any information that may be of
common interest. My own immigrant ancestor, Nicolaus Muller II
(1844-1902) came to America in 1870 after leaving his home in
Freigericht-Neuses; settling in the vicinity of 134th and Indiana
Avenue on the extreme southern fringe of Chicago (border with the
suburbs of Riverdale, Dolton and Blue Island, Illinois - where many
immigrants from Freigericht settled in the nineteenth century).
According to various research I am descended from two branches of the
Trageser Family, dating back to the late 1600's and early 1700's, and
would certainly welcome additional information on those lines, as well
as sharing what I have. Freigericht-area family names that can be found
in my file include: Muller, Franz, Schneider, Bozum, Trageser, Huttel,
Dornhecker, Benzing, Simon, Kress, Huth, Zeiger, Reber, Weber, Remmel,
Steffan, Hales, Betz, Beltz, Bilz, Biba, Michel, Jenior, Kuntzmann,
Kunkel, Hoffmann, Hohenberger, Kern, Auhl and others.

orignated. I tell them I have no idea and thought it orignated in

Hello,
I was aquainted with your uncle, Brother Joe. I happened to be looking
up some info on Bergamo East and came across your dedication page toJoseph Anthony Trageser .
I lived at Bergamo East while Brother Joe was there. My family's house
had burned down and we stayed there while it was being rebuilt. I have
so many fond memories of Brother Joe. I was around ten years old when I
met him and he was so sweet and kind to me. I was painfully shy and
Brother Joe and I would sit quietly working on the button machine and
talk about anything. I fell out of touch with Brother Joe 18 or so
years ago and I would have loved to have met up with him again before
he passed on.
I just wanted to share the warm thoughts I had and let you know what a
trail of friendship and love he left behind.

Hello
all. I am the
youngest of 7 children from Albert H. Trageser jr. and Marcella as
mentioned below.
Obtaining family history was somewhat difficult and it is good to know
the origin of my last name, finally.
My
father sold the copper
factory in the 1970's after the death of his wife Marcella. The 7
children were raised primarily by father and paternal grandmother
Virginia Clarke Trageser.
From what I can gather, the copper factory produced copper water
heaters, and fabricated various tanks and fixtures. During WWII the
factory manufactured the LCM III used in the d-day invasion, in
addition to parts for the h-bomb. The factory was the recipient of the
prestigious army navy "E" award during this period. Trageser Copper
Works was bought by a conglomerate, International Utilities, around
1972 (I was 3). International Utilities was bought out by someone else.
To the best of my knowledge no resemblence of the firm in any way shape
or form presently exists.
However, my great uncle Eugene Clarke(brother of Virginia Clarke
Trageser) was a water heater repairman up to his death 3 years ago was
still seeing Trageser copper core water heaters in the field.
Additionally, the company made most of the underground oil storage
tanks for levittown, NY. The factory is still at 5000 grand avenue in
Maspeth, Queens, NY. Although now it is a warehouse or something.
The family grew up in Rockville Centre, NY. Albert Jr. still lives
there. The seven children reside in the tri-state area.
Gertrude(Gertie) and Grace were sisters of my grandfather Albert H.
Trageser. They died when I was very young, perhaps even before I was
born in 1969.
Thanks again for the informative site. I will be sure to return.

Hi. My name is James Tragesser. Yes, I know that I spelled it with the double "s", but that's the way that it has been passed down from my great grandfather, Lorenz or Laurentius (born 24 Dec 1818). The surname was spelled with the single "s" when he came to the U. S. with his parents. I am trying to trace back more information on the family. I know that they arrived in Baltimore on September 17, 1833. The only records that I've found so far shows on the manifest that "J. G. Tragesser, with wife and 4 children" were the passengers. No other names were given. I believe that his name was Johann Georg and that his father was Laurentius (born 10 May 1739) from Bernbach. From my research, it is likely that we are distant relatives in some way from the same area of Germany. It appears that this is the first group of Tragesers to immigrate to America.

Wonderful
web site on the
Trageser family. I've been trying to make the connection back to
Germany for my own family line, but haven't had much luck. I don't know
if my line is directly related to yours. Even though we both descend
from Henry Tragesers of Baltimore, they are clearly different Henrys.
Interestingly, my grandfather George Charles Trageser and my uncle Jack
(John L.) Trageser looked very much like your ancestor Johanne Konrad
(III) Trageser.
I'm also a descendent of a Frederick Trageser of Baltimore, who
emigrated from Germany (Prussia), and it may be the same Frederick
Trageser mentioned earlier. I believe I'm also related to those who
mentioned the Trageser's Cozy Inn which was owned by my grandfather's
brother, John Trageser. I've done most of my research on this line
through the census. I would appreciate any information you or others
might have.
Frederick Trageser was born around 1822, emigrated from Germany to
Baltimore, but I don't know when. He married Mary A. (don't know her
maiden name) and they had 11 children (John, George (1849), Henry
A.(1850), Elizabeth, Mary, MaryAnn, Margaret, Rosa, Frederick,
Josephine, Harry). Three of these brothers married three sisters in the
William Sommer family (George to Katherine, Henry to Eleanora M, John
to Rose). Frederick was a tailor, as were many of his children, and he
lived on Central Avenue in Baltimore.
Frederick's son Henry A. Trageser (1850) was my great grandfather.
Henry married Eleanora M. Sommer (1860) and they had seven children
[Rosa (1884), Mary/Mame (1885), Katherine/Kate (1888), John W.(1890),
George Charles (1893), Henry/Harry (1897), Eleanora (1902?)]. George
Charles (also known as Umbrella George since there were three George
Tragesers living on Aisquith Street when he grew up there) was my
grandfather. John owned the Trageser's Cozy Inn.
All attended St. James Church growing up and many of the Tragesers are
buried at Holy Redeemer Cemetery in Baltimore. When I spoke to the
cemetery office recently, she told me they have burial records on 143
Tragesers. I'd like to learn more that might help connect my ancestry
back to Germany.

In fact, I understand that a pair of antique dragon andirons
still in the family came from the Tragesers.

Hello everyone! I'm Karolin, 15, from Germany. My grandfather Hermann Trageser was born in Sonborn. He is the oldest of four brothers, two of them still live in Sonborn, the other one lives in South Africa (near Bloemfontein) as a missionary. I really like this site and hope to learn more about the connections between the Tragesers all over the world!! (By the way, I accidentally found somebody called Trageser living in France!) I would really love to make contact with any relatives!!

I've learned so much
from your website. Thanks for putting it together!
My grandmother was Cecelia Mary Trageser (1901-1985). Her Father was
John George Trageser (1874-1949). He went by the name George his whole
life. I only learned that his given name was John when I saw his
baptismal record from St. James in Baltimore. Anyway, George was the
youngest child of John Adam Trageser and Ann Margaret Thalheimer. His
siblings were John F. (1857), Josephine (1859), Rosa (1861), Teresa M.
(1863), Charles (1865), Mary A. (1868), Alphonsus (1869), Francis
Anthony (1871), and Joseph Frederick (1873). I know very little of the
descendents of George's siblings.
I've also been trying to learn more about John Adam Trageser and his
connection to the other Tragesers in Baltimore in the mid-1800s. He was
born about 1828 in Altenmittlau. In Baltimore, he worked as a
shoemaker. I believe he died between
1890 and 1900. I do not know when he arrived in America, but I have
seen emigration records referring to Johann Adam Trageser that give the
date of emigration as 1837 (it also indicates that he emigrated with 4
relatives). However, I don't know for sure that this record refers to
my John Adam Trageser.
John Adam Trageser and his family were long associated with St. James
Church in Baltimore. Apparently, that was the church of many of the
Tragesers in Baltimore.
I'd love to correspond with others and try to connect my Trageser
family to their
origins in Germany.

I am descended from
Johann Trageser and wife, Gertrude Trageser, who reportedly came from
Cologne approx. 1854 and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio Have nothing
further back on them but have just started searching and would enjoy
corresponding with others from the Cincinnati area.
I just found your website by surfing and just wanted to say thanks for
a job well done. A very nice and informative site.

Hello, I found by
accident your info about Trageser. I have a hand-written ahnentafel
which contains Johan Trageser and his wife Catharina Betz, and I have
some of Catharina's ancestors back to 1615. If I knew the ancestors of
Bozum (Botzum) and Antoni (my name!) too, I could possibly also send
the information about them you. I am using PAF 4.0, so I could send
that kind of file or a gedcom to you. The first Bozum in that region
died before 1699 and came from Belgium, the first Antoni arrived at the
same time, they are both in my ancestry.

I am interested in
locating decendents of Leo J. Trageser, my first cousin, who died in
October 1985. I know he married and had children. Lost touch. His
mother was Alice Hoeckel-Trageser-Collins (my Aunt), who was my
father's ONLY sister. Leo was their ONLY son.
Thank you for any help.

I would be interested in learning if anyone has information about my grandfather, Albert James Trageser who was from Baltimore, Maryland. (Would have been born sometime in early 1900's. The only relative I am aware of, other than my dad--William Albert Trageser, is my dad's cousin Rose. I belive my dad also had an uncle who lived in Baltimore. My grandfather left his family at the age of 14 -- so we know very little about his backgroung. He moved to Pines on the Severn, near Annapolis where we lived in the 1950's and 1960's.Since there seem to be a number of Baltimore Tragesers, there might be some relatives involved. Send me an e-mail--we now have a clan of nine additional Trags! Nice to find this website.

Wow, I never realized
how many Tragesers there really are! At work my name badge has both my
first and last name and not a day goes by when a customer asks me "are
you related to _______ Trageser?" I've never heard of anybody they ever
ask about so we must be a very widespread family.

could obtain any information. As far as I know, he was born shortly
after his parents arrived in the U.S. in Oswego, New York.
Jim, I'm thoroughly
impressed & pleased with this presentation. You've surpassed my
wildest imagination. Congratulations--you should be very proud. I will
try to get back to George T. in York soon.
For those of you who are wondering how Holtman got in here--I am the

Great job! One of my
gr-gr-grandparents was Friedrich
Trageser, b. ~1822 in Germany, in or around Altenmittlau
according to some limited research I have done on this branch.
Emigrated to Baltimore ~1847, married a Mueller and went on to
have a host of kids. It's possible/probable that he and your
ancestors are related; there were then and are now a ton of
Tragesers in Baltimore. Vielen Dank for the site!

Thanks for putting this site together. Perhaps you could also include a page on how to pronounce our name. The American version is something like TRAY-GUESS-ER, and the Germans say something close to TRAY-geezah. I'm told you have to "swallow" the final r.
