Find Ancestors

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has the US passenger lists after 1900 sometime. I'm looking for a Professor Ingo Waldermar Dagobert Hackh possibly from Czechoslovakia born around 1890. We are not sure which date he emigrated to the US. He was in the California area (possibly LA). He was a dental scientist and also a chemistry teacher. We don't know the name of his wife or kids, or whether he had any.

His name can vary a bit, so might be slightly different from above. (eg sometimes Waldermar is shortened to Wald etc)

Thanks very much in advance for this.

Kind regards
Belinda

Belinda, after I copied the census, I realized that you might have wanted to find more information on your own? I hope I didn't spoil your fun. Have to stop for an hour or so. Will continue to look around, if you like.

Just saw your latest post (didn't see the others until I finished looking for information). If you would like me to look further, I'd be happy to do so. I'll be back in a bit. :)

Hi Lisa

Well I don't have access to records. I am not working at the moment with a baby daughter, so your help is much appreciated. I'm in NZ also, so I don't know much about the American records. This guy was fairly famous I gather, so there might be the odd biography about. Only search if you have time. What you have given me is quite amazing. Thank you!

Belinda

Hi Belinda. Sorry for the delay in coming back here. I'll look again right now.

PS Are you only looking for his information, or would you like information about his sisters?

Earlier found reference to his death in 1938, yet:

Cannot see the actual image, however.

In addition to the 1920 census above:

He was a Librarian in 1928

Could not find his name on

or
http://www.findagrave.com/

That's about all I can find.

Another reference to his 1938 death:
Hackh, Ingo W. D. (Ingo Waldemar Dagobert), 1890-1938.

Thanks so much Lisa. If you are able to find anything out about his sisters, that would be great too, but only if you want to. Sorry I didn't come back last night - I went to bed as it was getting late in NZ!!!

Thanks again for everything you have found.
Kind regards
Belinda :-)

Hi Lisa

I just found Ingo's date of birth through google - a conference proceedings!! It was 25 March 1890! I'm going to ask on another thread how to track down birth's in Germany as I think this is out of your area of expertise now.

Just letting you know.
Thanks!!
Belinda

Just dropped in for a moment...

try the IGI site; they sometimes have a wee bit on German births.

I'll be back later tonight.

The age is wrong compared to the 1930 census, but maybe this is Ingo's sister:
