Amandus George

"Amandus George, born July 22, 1771 (or 1774) and died about 1860 at Fouch. He married Margaret Biontz (1780-1852) on Jan 22, 1805 and she died on Feb 3, 1852 - born Nov 2, 1780. They lived at Offen and had nine children the last of whom was my mother's father Nicholas Y. born on June 3, 1825.

With respect to the manes of towns, some of them may be duplicate names, others not accurate in the spelling.  For instance, on the baptismal record of Joanna, written in  long-hand in Latin and with a mixed script, the initial letter ould be a C instead of a T in Toernich.  I took this because I had found the town Tarnich in another place.  Also on that record  it states " in the district of Arlon".  I believer all of the towns are in that district.  Another town mentioned is Svernig or Lounig.

I suspect a similar inaccuracy in dates. On the record, Joanna's birthdate is stated "septima 9-bris" 1825, which I take to be Nov Y, In another place her birthdate is given as Nov 5, 1827. Tombstone has Nov 1, 1825.
Amandus never came to the U.S. but all except one of his living children came during the early 1860's. Nicholas Y. married Barbara Nicolai and their first child Amandus II was born at Offen Dec 4, 1855. He is the father of Fr. Norbert and Sr. Generosa. Mary, his seventh child, was born April 19, 1869 in the U.S. and is the mother of me and Sr. Jose marie, Amandus" daughter, Marie, born Jan 14, 1822, married Michael Koch and lived and died at Platen, Luxemburg.

It is presumption, but a likely one, that Mary Alarding was from the vicinity of Hachy and that Innocent settled there when they married.  There is another family fo Goerges in the U. Sl who are the decendants of three brothers who came to the U.S. from Alsace-Lorraine about 1850.  the brothers names were Al[honse, Alfred and Francis which are quite different thatn those we find in our lineage but we suspect a connection with Innocent.  This family knows nothing of their back-ground.
