Luternauer USA

[Gamajajo]

Looking for decendats of

- Edward Luternauer oo Lynn Fisher
- Oscar Friedrich (Federico) Luternauer oo Janet Elizabeth de Lima

They were cousins and both born in 1905.

Both left Switzerland in the early 20th century. Edward went to the USA and Oscar first to Brazil and later to the USA as well.

I am preparing a family tree for my mother-in-law who is a born Luternauer and am thankful for any information.

Luternauer were at that time (1905) citizens of either one of the two following villages:
Pfaffnau
Wauwil
both are situated in Canton Lucerne (Luzern in German).
Source for above is the Swiss family name book.

I propose to continue this search in the Luzern section of this forum. Maybe somebody may give you further help.

Wenn ich es richtig verstehe, geht es hier nicht um die Vorfahren in der Schweiz, sondern um Nachfahren der beiden genannten Herren in Amerika.

Einige Informationen scheinen ja schon vorzuliegen, ich finde es immer hilfreich, alles anzugeben, was man schon weiß. So erspart sich der Helfer die unnötige Suche nach bereits Bekanntem.

Oskar hatte einen Sohn Norman Mark. Hier seine Einwanderung mit der Mutter von Brasilien in die USA: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... :502235859
Seine Einbürgerung 1971: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/K8Z3-VV3
Gestorben ist er 2006: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JBZW-95M
Janet Elisabeth 2007: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JTNC-CX9
Oskar 1999: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V95K-CN1
Edward 1997: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VMG7-XZ2 und
Lynn 1985: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VPNV-6ZZ

Ein Sohn von Norman Mark dürfte Brian Luternauer sein. Einfach mal googeln (u. a. facebook).

Dieser Jeffrey könnte auch ein Sohn von Oskar oder Edward sein: http://www.whitepages.com/name/Jeffrey- ... CA/3x3i5rk

@Rudi
I am currently only researching the two emigrants and their families and I suppose that this is the correct forum to get in touch with someone who has details about them.
Our Luternauers are citizens from Wauwil/LU. But thank you anyway!

@animei
Thank you for the links with the interesting details. Specially some of the dates and places were new to me.

I did search the internet for many hours, but could not find a direct link from Brian, Jeremy and other Luternauers (found on Facebook etc.) to my relatives. Therefore I hope to get some hints here

What I found out so far is that Oscar had three children (maybe more?):
- Norman Mark (1936-2006) lived in California
- John Leland (1942-2005) lived in Vancouver
- Cynthia Constance (1946-) no more information

I have no information if these three were ever married or had children.

As regards to Edward we do only know that he was married to Lynn Fisher, but nothing about possible children.
