This week's post as part of my participation in Amy Johnson Crow's 2018 version of the 52 Ancestors meme. Week 7. "Valentine".
The prompt for week 7 is Valentine, and continues:
Is there a love story in your family tree? Maybe a couple was married on Valentine's Day or you have a valentine that one ancestor gave to another. Maybe you have an ancestor named Valentine.
Why yes, I have a few "Valentine"s in my data base. Not all are "ancestors", at least not all direct ancestors, but, that's a small unimportant detail on Valentine's Day, eh?? In fact, I have 7, all but one of those happen to be males. Here is a short review of my 7 Valentines.
Valentin Wettlaufer. whose bride was Catherine (any spelling will be accepted). Their son, Jacob (born 1860, died 1917, Canada) married into Man's Ruthig clan, one Louisa Ruthig (born 1861 Canada).
Valentine Daub, born 1862, died 1944. Canada. Married into another one of Man's families, the Gerths. Valentine's bride was Barbara Gerth, who was born 1986, died 1929. Canada. My data base shows them as the parents by 10 children. Research continues.
Valentine Ruthig/Rudig, born 1821 in Schoenenberg, Bayern, Germany, died 1883 Perth County, Ontario, Canada. Married Margret (Marguarita) Zinkann in 1847 in Upper Canada. She was born in 1831 in Germany and died in 1889 in Canada. Valentine and Margret had 12 children that are recorded.
Valentine Schafer whose bride was Mary Grub. Their son Charles (born ca 1883) married another Ruthig bride, one Emma, who was born 1886 in Canada.
Valentine Wagner, born ca 1699 in Bavaria Pfalz, Germany. He is son (MAYBE) of Peter Wagner and his wife, Anna Margaretha Mozen. My notes field is filled with warnings that Valentine may NOT be their child. Further research is truly indicated. (One - Moi - needs TIME)
Valentine Peter Ruthig, born 1902 in Michigan. Died 1946 in Michigan. Married Esther K. Brooks, she was born 1908 in Indiana, died 1994 in Florida. They had 2 children.
Valentine Virginia "Jack" Stokesbury, born 1916 Pennsylvania. Died 1945 California. Married John Joseph "Joe" Marchant. Joe was born 1915 in Virginia and died in 1973 in California. They had 3 children that I am aware of.
Happy Valentine's Day from Man, Sir W, Moi and our "Valentine" kin.
