Jakobsberg Family Lineage

The Jakobsberg Lineage is named after a small village north of Kassel, near Beverungen.

The Earliest Mengersen on record for this lineage is Johan Mengersen. He was born in 1783 in Rote Germany and later married Crista Elisabeth Weber. Johan made a living working with a wood lathe making furniture in Drexeln. On April 23, 1827 Johan unfortunately froze to death walking to one of the villages nearby. Although he died a tragic death, he and his wife had 2 children who in turn had there own families.

There are many decendants of Johan & Crista Elisabeth Mengersen. Each family member has there own great story to tell and the following is about Gustav Adolf Mengersen..

In the distructuion of many cities and towns in Germany durring World War II, most of the records were lost pertaining to the Ancestors of Gustav Adolf Mengersen.

Gustav was born in Jakobsberg, Germany in October of 1899 where he grew up with his two brothers, Johannes & Alois and his two sisters, Agathe & Anna. Durring WWI, sometime between 1914 and 1918 he joined the ranks of German soldiers as a machine gunner under the ruler, Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm II. Durring his tour of duty, Gustav was lucky enough to be captured by some French soldiers and stayed in a prison camp untill his release at the end of the war shortly after November 11, 1918.

After "The Great War", Gustav became a Mason and many years later on Februay 5th, 1929 he traveled to Koeln to purchase his visa for travel aboard the S.S. New York. Three months later, on May 10th 1929 he said his good bye's and boarded the Ocean Liner in Hamburg bound for the New York harbor and America.

The S.S. New York past by the statue of liberty and Ellis island and docked in Hoboken, New Jersey where the passengers disembarked, and got welcomed to America.

Gustav settled in the town of West New york as so many other German imigrants had done in the past and while living there he met a young German woman named Herta Butendick. They dated for a while and when they finaly got married they moved to Lodi New Jersey. A short while later they had a daughter they named Virginia, a son named Ronald and another son named Gustav who later changed his name to John.

Gustav and Herta's children grew up in the 1940's and 50's, and when they came of age, each of them got married and had children. Virginia got married to Steven Pastor, settled in River Vale, NJ and had three children. Ronald got married to Nanci Gustenhoven had four children and also settled in River Vale. John was married to a woman named Sonja, had two children and settled in Paramus NJ. "They were later divorced".
