All of these people are dead except for my grandmother on my dad's side.

My mom's side of the family:

My grandmothers name is Jeanette Tuohy:

My grandfathers name is William Walbrecher

My dad's side of the family:

My Grandmother is Jean DeMartino

My Grandfather is Henry Dembo:Dembo came from Dembovich or something along those lines.My grandfathers father was named Levi Dembovich or vic.. something like that.

Help me if you could please trace where these people came from

My last name is Dembo,my dad's last name is dembo, and my mom's last name is dembo but her maiden name is walbrecher.

Answer 1

Henry's father, Levi (born around 1877), immigrated in 1888 from Russia/Poland. He died 11-17-1948

His mother, Eva Winkelstein (born around 1882), immigrated in 1890 from Germany.

The Walbrechers came from Prussia.  

I haven't found Jean DeMartino or Jeanette Tuohy, yet.

http://www.vgd.ru/index.html--the site for the "All Russia Family Tree". Both Dembo and Dembovich names are listed.

Main information on how to perform genealogy search in Russia. Messageboards for foreigners seeking lost Russian relatives. Genealogists contact information: easiest way to research Russian roots and search in Russian provincial archives. Coats of arms of Russian nobles (images). Russian surnames and names index.

Hope this helps a little. If you'd like to email (see my profile) me the correct birthdate for William W., I'll try to do a further search.  =)

Answer 3

There are several William Walbrechers.. all seem to be in Maryland.  I usually don't advise "hopping" without each generation, but for this, I would be fairly sure your ancestry comes from the William Walbrecher who is there in 1870.  He is age 48 at the time (born about 1822), and birthplace was Prussia.  His wife is also from Prussia.  Their oldest child is age 15 but born in the US.. so he immigrated between 1822- 1855.

If you send me a note through my profile (with your regular email address) I can send the census image to you as attachment.  I'll try to pull up the other census years for you as well.

edit-

I have Levi pinned down in 1920 in Pennsylvania.. and he immigrated in 1888.  He shows Russia (Poland), meaning he was Polish, but in 1888, it was under Russian jurisdiction.

At the time, he uses the Dembo spelling.

edit

Jan, the two Williams in the ssdi are not the same.. have emailed Tim the census/ details
