Eleanor and Ray Cathers' daughter, Dorothy Jean Cather Wilks:

"August Weinerts' second wife was Marie-actually, Matilda Marie Foster-Weinert. They had one daughter-Eleanor Marie Weinert-Cather 1912-2007. I am not at home or I could be sure if it was 2007. She had 3 children, the first Robert Ray Cather died at 3 days August Adelbert Cather 1933 to 1959 was killed while in the Navy when his blimp crashed and burned. He left 2 sons Karl Douglas and August Adelbert."

"1936 to whenever. I have two children, Stephen Ray Wilks who has 2 children Misty Marie and Stephan Edward Wilks,.. Terrissa Marcelle Wilks VanMatre who has one daughter- Casin Lee VanMatre Powell. She has one son Conner Jayden Powell. I can fill in more information than you would want on all of the above. As to the rest of the descendants before Marie, we have family reunions and I could put you in touch with our historian."

srwilks @molalla.net:

"My grandmother, Eleanor Marie Weinert was the only child from the second marriage, but I have the second wife as Matelda Marie Foserg (spelling not confirmed I remember it as Fosberg). My grandmother and my mother told me stories of her growing up with 3 older brothers. Eleanor married Ray Noland Cather, had first son, Robert Ray (died as baby), then second son, August Edlbert Cather, (died in Navy leaving 2 sons), Doug and Bert. then my mother Dorothy Jean (Wilks) still living. I have more details, if you want. Someone on the Weinert side has done a lot of research, maybe you? I attended a couple of the Weinert Family reunions from the August line. Some where I have hard copies of that line going a few generations back."

Margie I information: I have a German - English Dictionary (actually it's not a dictionary, but it has the translations of words from English to German and German to English). March in German is Marz with 2 dots over the "a". May in German is Mai. So, I think this church baptism record has the German month which indicates he was born 25 March/Marz 1868. Well now we have 3 birth dates for August. Beth's booklet has 22 Mar 1867, Audrey has 25 Mar 1869 and the church record has 25 Mar 1868. It wasn't like he was baptized within a year after he was born, he was baptized in 1881 so he was about 13 years old. Did they forget when he was born?

Looking for info on descendants of August Weinert, who was born 25 Mar 1866 in Richardson Co., NE and died 22 Sep 1932 in Lebanon, Linn Co., OR, age 65 years. August WEINERT married (1) Amelia C. ERNST abt 1893 in NE. She was born 18 July 1872, Falls City, Richardson Co., NE and died 13 Jan 1900 in Seattle, King Co., WA. They had 3 sons, Walter (b. abt 1894), Elmer (b. abt 1896), and Frank (b. abt 1899). August WEINERT married (2) Marik ---? who was still alive in 1932, as she was the informant on August's death certificate. I would like to find out more about Marik as well. Did August have any children with his 2nd wife? He was a "Rev." when he lived in Seattle, but was listed as a "nightwatchman" on his death cert. What happened?

Wurde geboren als Jean-Betty Weinert 15.06.1962 in Karlsruhe, als Tochter von Renate Waltraud Weinert geb.1937 in Borna. Bitte um Nachricht.

Ich bin eine Tochter von ihr, hieß ursprünglich Jean Betty Weinert, geb. 15.06.1962, in Karlsruhe. wurde ebenfalls adoptiert. ich heiße heute Bettina Dorothee Koch,wohne in Schramberg in Deutschland. wäre über jede nachricht froh.

My name is Scott Weinert. I am a grandson of Frank Weinert. Frank married Edith Palmer and they had 4 children and 16 grandchildren. Their oldest child, Harry, is my father. August did marry again and they had several children. Some of this family still live in the Portland, OR/St Helens OR area. My father and my aunt June Schoonover (Weinert) have more information on this.

It is my understanding that August's father was also named August and that he immigrated into Toronto, CA from Europe. 1 of the brothers stayed in Canada, while the other brothers immigrated to NE. It is also my understanding that 1 brother continued on to California and ending up in Australia. I have not been able to verify any of this brother's information...

In answer to your question. When Amelia died, his sister was also widowed. He had 3 sons and she had a daughter and one or 2 sons. they combined forces so Minnie could help raise the kids while August supported all of them. He was assigned to move to Burns Oregon with no consideration of his obligations to Minnie and all the children. He could not support them there so he quit the ministry.

My name is Anne Weinert and my great grandfather was Johann Weinert who was the brother of August Weinert.

Surnames: Weinert

My name is Scott Weinert. I am a great grandson of August Weinert. It is my understanding that his father, August, and 2 brothers came into Toronto by ship in approximately 1835 and that they came from Poland. It is also my understanding that they were a part of the German resettlement of parts of Poland and Czechoslovakia during the Napoleanic period (approximately 1800 - 1810)

Johann August Weinert in South Australia was the son of Christian and Anna Weinert nee Kobe. He was born in 1814 and married Johannes Donke in 1836.

In 1841 he travelled from Hamburg with his brothers Johann Dienegott and Treugott Johann to South Australia. With a few other families they began the township of Lobethal.

They never lived in Canada, however, This I know for a fact.

The Weinerts in Melbourne and Queensland are descended from this family and some if not all of the Sydney ones. I guess there have been other families come out over the years. There is still a strong Weinert presence in Lobethal, the town that they established.

I wonder what relation if any were the Canadian family. Our Weinerts came from Brucken Hausen in Posen (Prussia)- Wolstein province. Do you know where your Weinerts came from?

Regards

Deanne in Australia

I am decendant from a Johann Weinert who immigrated to the US and ended up in Ontario, Canada. I have in my possession a letter that one of his brother's wrote to him after a visit with another brother, August in Nebraska. It states that this brother is thinking about moving to Australia in about the right time frame as your inquiry. I will have to look up the brother's name, if you are interested. When I visited Australia in 2002, I was delighted to find Weinert's in phonebooks in Melbourne and Syndey, but did not have the time to try and contact anyone. Please contact me if you are still interested.
