Innocent GEORGE: (1745-1839) is the first ancestor of whom we have record. We do not know his birthplace, but it is thought that he may have come to Belgium from the region of Alsace-Lorraine and that he may have been in court of politicalcircles that went into disfavor. He lived at Hachy or Herzig (which probably is one town with the names in two different languages). He died at Fouch on January 1, 1839. He married Mary Alarding who died, presumably at Hachy, on April 25, 1817. Of this marriage there are only four children of whom we are certain and presumably all born at Hachy, namely: Amandus, Peter, Hubert and Louis.
___________________________
With respect to the manes of towns, some of them may be duplicate names, others not accurate in the spelling. For instance, on the baptismal record of Joanna, written in long-hand in Latin and with a mixed script, the initial letter ould be a Cinstead of a T in Toernich. I took this because I had found the town Tarnich in another place. Also on that record it states " in the district of Arlon". I believer all of the towns are in that district. Another town mentioned is Svernig orLounig.
I suspect a similar inaccuracy in dates. On the record, Joanna's birthdate is stated "septima 9-bris" 1825, which I take to be Nov Y, In another place her birthdate is given as Nov 5, 1827. Tombstone has Nov 1, 1825.
Amandus never came to the U.S. but all except one of his living children came during the early 1860's. Nicholas Y. married Barbara Nicolai and their first child Amandus II was born at Offen Dec 4, 1855. He is the father of Fr. Norbert and Sr. Generosa. Mary, his seventh child, was born April 19, 1869 in the U.S. and is the mother of me and Sr. Jose marie, Amandus" daughter, Marie, born Jan 14, 1822, married Michael Koch and lived and died at Platen, Luxemburg.
It is presumption, but a likely one, that Mary Alarding was from the vicinity of Hachy and that Innocent settled there when they married. There is another family fo Goerges in the U. Sl who are the decendants of three brothers who came to the U.S. from Alsace-Lorraine about 1850. the brothers names were Al[honse, Alfred and Francis which are quite different thatn those we find in our lineage but we suspect a connection with Innocent. This family knows nothing of their back-ground.
