Juliane (julian, julianne) Kampa was born 1891 to John and Susanna Kampa and she had 8 siblings: Theodore, Leo, Veronika, Mary, Sophie, Martha, and John. Sometime in the 1920's she move to Pittsburgh, PA and worked in a Motherhouse as a housekeeper for a Catholic priest. John James Christian (B.1891)lists Juliana as "the person who will always know his address" on his WWII draft card. I am looking for any information on the link/relationship between Juliana Kampa and John Christian. I have hit a brick wall on John J. Christian; Juliane is the only link I have that may further my research. A ton of thanks in advance to anyone that may have some info on this.

Dear Patricia,
If you ever decide to sell the book I would be happy to buy the book from you...or pay for a scanned copy of the genealogy page/s. My great great grandmother is the sister of John Christian who married Ruth Sweet. She is Ann Christian who married Charles Brown.
Horace John Christian and his wife Mary Ann Wallin moved to MI and my great grandmother, Carrie M. Wallin, moved with them and there she married the nephew of John Christian and Ruth Sweet, the son of Charles Brown and Ann Christian, my great grandfather, Harmon Gilson Brown. You can see much info I have posted on the internet. I also have their gravesites posted on Find A Grave with all their history.
My Christian cousins saw this on the net and told me about your post...I am sure that my Great great Aunt Mary Ann (Wallin) Christian &/or Horace John Christian wrote the history down or brought it with them to MI from Cayuga County, NY.
Horace John Christian died in Fredoina, Calhoun County, MI on a Sunday afternoon from a horse kicking him. Mary Ann (Wallin) Christian then moved to Kalamazoo, MI and died there in 1905.
I will check out all my Christian family history to see if there is a Wert....I may find one and let you know.
Sincerely,
Marilyn (Brown) LeVeque

Thanks for the update, solves the mystery of how the book ended up in a yard sale in Newaygo MI in the 1980's where my mother bought it (I think). I have traced my grandmother's lineage (French Canadian) and her husband (James Wert -born in Ohio, parents from PA), have you seen any connection to any Werts in your research?

I am going to post a question and answer here in hopes that someone can connect and add further information as to the whereabouts of Samuel P. christian, born c.1814 in Virginia and died between 1850-1860 in Houston, TX.
This was an answer to a question I posted back in 2008:
I believe that the Samuel P. Christian who married Elizabeth Wills in 1833 is identical with Samuel Patteson Christian (Jr.), the son of Samuel Patteson Christian and Ann/Nancy Patteson of Buckingham County, VA. I am not certain, however.
What I do know: Samuel Patteson Christian Jr. had two sons, Samuel Patteson Christian (III), who was born in 1835 and William D. Christian born in 1838. The latter was born in or around Lynchburg and would always describe it as his hometown.
They were in Texas by the late 1840s, coming first to Galveston and then to Houston. Reconstructing the history from biographical sketches of William D. Christian, who became a prominent Houston businessman, I believe that S.P. Christian Jr. died before his sons reached the age of majority. I have not yet made an attempt to search for guardianship records, etc in the early Harris County (TX) records. (This is a collateral line for me.) Neither Samuel P Christian III (known as Pat) nor William D. Christian ("Captain Billy") had any children. Pat was a steamboat captain and (as noted above) Billy became a well-known businessman and civic leader in Houston. Both were Confederate Vets as well, Pat with Terry's Texas Rangers and Billy fighting at the Battle of Vicksburg.
Here is my recent reply:
It does help and seem to falls into place. Samuel P. Christian who married Elizabeth B. Wills in 1833 is "not" the physician I originally thought to be. I found a newspaper ad placed in 1835 stating that he joined partnership with the Knapp, Preston & Co. on Main Street in Richmond. By 1837 the business was in financial trouble. This may account for William being born in Lynchburg if he moved on after the company folded? Then I find yet another ad, probably when he moved from Buckingham County to Richmond to "invest" in the dry goods partnership in 1835 selling the homestead of about 1069-acres of land 10 miles from the James River for face value. Said he was "relocating to the South-West".
An obituary for William D. Christian states he moved to Texas with the family in 1847 but then again, it says they first settled in Galveston then Houston so the date "may" indicate when they arrived in Houston instead - or not?
Any further information appreciated especially on Christian and Wills!
Eric
Note... Samuel P. Christian III (1835-1908) William D. Christian (1838-1929) - both in Houston, TX.
