Haehl Photos

The narratives above each picture are told by myself, Eleanor Sides Weightman and my relationship to those pictured. To know what relationship you are to them, figure what relationship you are to Eleanor. Have questions, e-mail me.  

Our Haehl ancestors who came to America were Kaitan (Johann) Jacob Haehl from Bavaria Germany and Emerenzia (Anna Caterina) Haehl (maiden name unknown) from Bavaria Germany.  Their names were translated in America as Johann Jacob (in one census as Catan) Haehl and Catherine (sometimes Emma or Meria) Haehl.  They departed from Havre, France and arrived in America via the Port of New York on November 5, 1851 onboard the Ship Germania.  They had five or six children:  Peter A, Joseph, Jacob, Theresa, Josephine and Matthew.  There is also rumor of a Barbra but I have yet to find information on her.

Joseph (11/1894-?) and Edward Jacob Haehl (1883-1923) were both sons of Peter A. Haehl (1855-?)and Lizzie Federal Haehl (1857-?). Edward was my great grandfather, father of my grandmother Clara Haehl Wilson Derricks. Edward died at the age of 40 of Bright's disease, my grandmother was 11 years old.
