Hi all, several weeks ago there was a posting about a site that
discussed Family Bibles records;
Bible Records site:
BIBLE-FAMILY-L(a)rootsweb.com
I sent a request for information about a family bible I had just
purchased and received this nice reply.

I'm the list manager for the Bible-Family-L mailing list. Since you
aren't a subscriber, your message was delivered just to me instead of
the whole list. A lot of people are confused by the name of our mailing
list. It is not about religious *books*, but is a mailing list for
people connected with the BIBLE surname. My maiden name was Bible.
<grin!> You can imagine how difficult it is to search resource
materials for this name because the Book always shows up! You may never
have heard of this as a surname, but there are more of us out in the
world than one would imagine.

As you can see it isn't what we thought it was.

Kauffeld-glassblowers in the Netherlands
There are more glassblowers with Name Kauffeld / Kaufhold ore so. In Eindhoven,
Netherland, there is living August Kauffeld.
His ancestors, who were glassblowers:
H.H.J Kauffeld 28.02.1899 Nieuw Buinen - 26.12.1978 Eindhoven
H.L. Kauffeld 29.11.1870 Nieuw Buinen - 08.06.1943 Acht
Christiaan Wilhelm Augustinus Kauffeld
30.01.1840 Siebenstern (Germany) - 24.01.1919 Vlaardingen
....Kauffeld ca 1800 Siebenstern (Germany) - ca 1841 Siebenstern
Kauffeld-glassblowers in Finnland
I have got a message from Matti Kuusisto, living in Finnland:

Betreff: Re: Kauffeld - Family
Hallo!
I checked the book "Glassblowers in Finland 1748-1917". It seems that only
one member of Kauffeld -family has been working in Finnish glassworks
during 1748-1917:
Karl Johan KAUFFELT
born:
28.8.1856 in Biri
father:
Wilhelm Edvard Kauffelt ( born: 22.11.1826 in Norway)
mother:
Anna Caisa Forsberg ( born: 28.1.1826 in Glava)
wife:
Maria Magnusdotter ( born: 1.7.1856 in Glava)
children:
Edvard Emanuel ( born 8.2.1885),
Knut Magnus Hilmer ( born: 1.1.1887),
Karl Ludvig Wilhelm ( born: 10.11.1888),
Hans Erik Petrus ( born: 1.1.1899),
Emil Marius Jonathan ( born 21.8.1901).
According to the book Karl Johan Kauffelt was working e.g. in the
glassworks of Hammar ( -1880), Kangassaari ( 1881-1883) and somewhere in
Sweden ( 1883-). His oldest son Edvard Emanuel became a glassblower, but
it seems that he didn't work in Finland ( maybe in Sweden or in Norway?).
The book also says that Kauffelt -family is of Danish origin ( maybe this
line is - who knows).
The place Biri is in Norway and there was a glass factory ( mentioned e.g.
in http://www.askernett.no/glasny/history.htm ). Places Glava and Hammar
are in western Sweden - near Norway. In Hammar glassworks they made mostly
bottles.
Kangassaari is located in eastern Finland. The glassworks was founded in
1858 and they made mainly bottles and window glas. There is a picture
(lasi.gif ) from http://www.personal.eunet.fi/pp/mattila/eilen.htm . Maybe
one of those men is your distant relative...
Best regards,
Matti
Best greetings from a new reader of the Mailing List
Robert from Minden / Germany,
whose ancestors also have been glassblowers.
Becky Smith, There is a Jacob Coffelt and his wife buried in the Bellbrook
cemetery in Bellbrook, OH. The stones read, Jacob Coffelt, October 5, 1835
and Hanna Paxson Coffett, March 4, 1883. It appears jacob was 38 when he
died and Hanna was 86. There is also a H. Jane Coffelt, no dates, and a
William H. Coffelt, April 21, 1862, Age 36.
My grandmother was Sarah Iva Coffelt. All the Coffelts I have researched are
from Germany and could not read or write english. Therefore the name may be
spelled several different ways. They were Kaufett or Kaufeldt when they
arrived in America.
Hpoe this helps you some. I've not been able to associate these Coffelts
with my line. Maybe beacuse they are from Ireland.
Cheerio, Ron Berryhill

Have found Ludwig Kauffelt in Prussia/Posen in early 1800's. He was a
glassblower. Would like to exchange information with anyone
researching this family. Ludwig came over in 1850's to Richmond VA.

Hi All,
Robert sent me his family, I have his permission to post it to the list
so that you can see why he is so interested in the Kauffelt/glass
industry.
I have no knowledge or expertise in this, perhaps someone else on the
list does.

The BLM site is VERY new. You may have problems accessing it at busy
times - it took me 3 days before I could get logged on. From what I
gather, they will be adding more information. I found three documents
in my search last night, but nothing for my Pleasant Coffelt in MO.
Oh, I show Christopher Kauffeld to be a Distiller by trade. This
information was picked up in the series Eighteenth Century Emigrants
fro German-Speaking Lands to North America (Volume II The Western
Palatinate) by Annette Kunselman Burgert.
Happy hunting!!

Thanks for the Patent info web page. I checked it out this morning and
it looks great -- although I hope that they plan to add more states
(including WV and VA). Do you know whether or not they are planning to?
It says the web page is under construction.

Hallo Sylvia,
many thanks for your nice mail with the information about
"Coffelt-books".
I am interresting to read this. So I will will write to an old
school-friend,
who is living in Oregon. Maybe he can get more information about the
price and
how I can buy it. I learned Englisch at school more than 40 years ago,
an I am
afraid, that it is too difficult for me to read the books.
I know, that there are more Kauffeld / Coufelt -families in USA. Many of
my
ancestors have been glassblowers. I heard, that in USA is a
glasssfactory, that
belongs to a Kauffeld-man, but more information I did not get.
I am living in Minden, a town 100 km south of Bremen, at the river
Weser.
Best greetings from here

This came through on the BIBLE Family list. For many of us, it is
interesting and maybe someone can help Robert Kauffeld out. He is not
on our list, so if you can e-mail him privately, that would be
