Questions:

  • Variations on the name. Possible ancestors? Along with Goethert & Göthert I have seen Goethard, Goethardt, Goethart
  • Vati's tree mentions a city Weisrode. Cannot find it but early-mid 1800's map has Walsrode just north of Hanover.
    View a map as gif file b/w and cropped for clarity.
    Same map in color and full size: http://feefhs.org/maps/gerw/gw-hanov.html
  • At that time (maybe now also) there is a region of Hanover and a city of Hanover. Records I have found do not specify region or city so one has to guess. See 1803 map.
  • To confuse things more, there are two spellings: Hanover & Hannover

Great Possibles:

  • Johann August Götehrt: listed on this site, has to be a family member. Vati's Uncle? If so, Johann would be one of the names of his Grandfather. August is a very common name in the family.
  • Hermann Goethert: birth: about 1867 in Walsrode
    Because Vati's father was born 1854 and married a girl from Walsrode (Weisrode? see below), this person could be a relation. Possibly Vati's uncle? Where did Wimp's middle name (Hermann) come from?
  • Full site from above (search with Goethert "Last Name" only on the page to get a complete list of all variations on the name)
  • Bernhard Friedrich August Robert Adam Göthert (Robert): Vati's half brother
  • Ewald Rudolf Göthert: is listed as a child of Gustav & Louisa (Rummel). Born Jan. 5. 1884, almost exactly 12 months after Robert and 12 months before Reinhold.

Possibles: (will be checked out)

Interesting finds:

  • According to the 1880 Wisconson census: John & Mary Goethert (along with children John, Anna and Mary). John was born in Prussia with Prussian parents
  • When searching US Social Security death records a John Goethert was found: Birth: 30 Oct. 1898 State Where Number was Issued: Illinois, Death: Feb. 1971 in Illinois
  • Also an Irene Goethert: Birth: 11 Jun 1905 State Where Number was Issued: New York, Death: 8 Feb 1998 in Florida
