Surname Saturday

It's Surname Saturday and a good time to list the surnames in the family line I'll be working on this coming year.

Beginning with the immigrant couple (direct line highlighted in red):

Charles RUCH born 05 Dec 1851 in Bouxwiller, Bas-Rhin, France; died 10 Dec 1888 in Chicago, IL.
Salome Jubel SIEGLER born 13 Sep 1850 in Bouxwiller, Bas-Rhin, France; died 05 Apr 1930 in Chicago, IL.

Charles and Salome were married 30 Mar 1873 in Erie, Erie Co., PA.

They had nine children:

1. Caroline Magdalena RUCH born 09 Sep 1873 in Erie, Erie Co., PA; married John A GEHRINGER 25 Aug 1890 in Chicago, IL. Died 13 Oct 1952.
2. Eva Salomea RUCH born 09 Sep 1973 in Erie, Erie Co., PA; married Louis BOUCHONVILLE ; died 28 Oct 1945 in Chicago, IL.
3. Lisette Emma RUCH born 21 Nov 1874 in Erie, Erie Co., PA; married Thomas HIGGINS 05 Aug 1903 in Chicago, IL; died 25 Jul 1966
4. Louise Julie RUCH born 21 Nov 1874 in Erie, Erie Co., PA; married Charles BROWN 08 Sep 1901 in Chicago, IL; died 19 May 1970
5. Mary RUCH born 21 Nov 1878 in Chicago, IL; married Fred REINHARD 29 Aug 1922; died 16 Jan 1974 in Chicago, IL.
6. Alice RUCH born 24 Mar 1882 in Chicago, IL; died 13 Feb 1899.
7. Margaret RUCH born 24 Mar 1882 in Chicago, IL; married Oscar FELL; died 18 May 1938.
8. George Henry RUCH born 29 Dec 1885 in Chicago, IL; married Margaret MOHLE; died 12 Mar 1949 in Chicago IL.
9. Charles RUCH born 26 Jul 1886; died 20 Apr 1971.

Yes, folks just in case you were paying attention; there were 3 sets of twins in the mix.

That's probably enough for this round.

  1. Becky,

    Best wishes on meeting our 2010 goals!

    Welcome to the Geneabloggers family. Hope you find the association fruitful; I sure do. I'm fairly new, as well, and have found it most stimulating, especially the Daily Themes.

    Keeping telling your ancestor stories!
