John Betzikofer of Liverpool (1824-1899)

BIRTH MARRIAGE DEATH 1824, Sigmaringen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany Before 1854, Unknown 13 April 1899, Belden, Medina, Ohio, USA John Betsicover is currently assumed to have been born in the Sigmaringen region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1824 under the name Justus Betzikofer. While research is still underway, this is all we know of John's early life at this current moment. Even less is known on his wife Emily Zimmerman. She was born in the region of Bayern, Germany about 1828 and seems that her birth name was Apolonia even though she frequently went by Emily and Emma. That is the total extent of our early knowledge.

John stated later in life on his naturalization paperwork that he arrived May of 1852, but we don't know where or if he was alone or with his br...

Sarah was christened the 8 Nov 1818 at St. Mary's Church in Ivinghoe. 3 Sarah was raised in Ivinghoe where she lost her mother at the age of 2, due to what appears to be complications following the birth of her younger sister Susannah, and her father at the age of 17. (Whether Sarah had to get by on her own as something like a housekeeper or if she was able to band together with her siblings is unknown. It should also be noted that Sarah possibly had 3 surviving half-siblings as well from her father's first marriage that may have been able to help.) Not...
