My name is Ed Neu - Edward Anton Neu III, to be exact. (Yes. There is a IV too.) I live on a small farm in Buffalo, Minnesota and work in a high tech company near Minneapolis. During the summer of 1997, upon the occasion of my 50th birthday, I suddenly found a need to learn who my ancestors were, and began a quest to learn about them. What you see here on this web site is the state of my understanding so far. I don't claim to have the definitive study of the Neu family, but it's a start. I have discovered there are several strongholds of the family Neu in the United States. Some in Pennsylvania, some in Ohio, a few in Minnesota, quite a few in California, and those who settled in Missouri - St. Louis to be more specific. That's where I was born. On these pages you will find mostly family related to Philip Neu, my great-grandfather. He immigrated from Germany to the U.S. about 1865 from Hassloch, Germany, and settled in St. Louis. He had a brother, Jacob, who ventured further west to Goodland, Kansas. You will also find the histories of a few Neu's who may or may not be related. Their family histories have been provided to me by fellow genealogists I have met through correspondence. So far I haven't figured out how the various clans of Neu around the U.S. link together, but I hope that those of you who visit this web site might be able to provide more pieces to the puzzle. Enjoy your visit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated January 5, 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update has 417 changes or additions since August 3, 2007, when I last updated my site. I continue to correspond with a number of generous people who have helped me continue to expand this collection. I have dug into a lot of US Census, marriage and death records the past few months and added a lot of detail to families. Updated August 3, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This update has 730 changes or additions since January of 2000, when I last updated my site. I have been corresponding with a number of generous people who have helped me continue to expand this collection. I have added a lot of "branches" to the Neu family tree, not as much to the "trunk". In addition, a long visit from Mom this summer produced a lot of updates to records of distant cousins, aunts and uncles. Thanks, Mom!!! I have added extensive notes to a lot of people in this edition of the Neu Family Genealogy. Just click on any name to see more details. I have some of my cousins interested in the project now. They have filled me in on the details of their immediate families. And I've learned there is a book around somewhere, which was compiled around 1950, with detailed research on my family line. I'm still trying to find it. Thanks go out to Robert E. Neu, in California. Most of the information about Philip Peter Neu and his family, the co-founder of the Neu und Gintz Brewery in Belleville, IL came from his book, "Always Neu". Thanks also go out to Paula Hursch, Linda Logue, David M. Hendirx for his help with the Margell family, Edmund West for his information on individuals in and around Belleville, IL, and to Leona Marx for her help with the Andree family. I hope you continue to enjoy this project and can contribute to it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
