Hi,
Duane. Great web page!
I've recently started to research my family history again after
a layoff of a few years. I've managed to do quite well, but one
of the branches of my family tree that's given me trouble has been
that of my maternal grandmother, who numbers a LOFTUS among her
ancestors.
Mary Anne Loftus, my great-great grandmother, was
born in 1850 in upstate New York (that's what it say on her death
certificate---"upstate" New York). Her parents were Francis Loftus,
born Ireland, and Mary (maiden name unknown) Loftus, also born in
Ireland. According to other information on the death certificate,
the family moved to New York City (Manhattan) in 1857.
Mary Anne Loftus married Patrick Henry Fitzgerald, an Irish immigrant,
at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, 16 Barclay Street, New York,
NY 10007, c. 1866. One of their children, Ellen (my great-grandmother)
was born in Manhattan in 1869.
Mary Anne Loftus died in Manhattan on Nov. 4, 1897 and was buried
in Calvary Cemetery in Queens, NY on Nov. 7, 1897. I believe that
her parents, Francis and Mary Loftus, also died in New York City
(Manhattan), but so far I've been unable to find any record of their
deaths.
My
name is Mary-Agnes Bornhoeft. I'm an attorney/editor. You can contact
me at my e-mail address.
In the event you can't get through to me there (I have so much trouble
getting on to AOL I might drop it soon), you can contact me through
my husband's
business e-mail address.
Thanks for all the information, particularly that about County Mayo.

Thank
you for the work you are doing on the LOFTUS name.
My
name is Ron Loftus...Orig. Born London Eng. 1936. the fourth child
of six children of Micheal Edward Loftus. His father Charles is
what I am looking for.
It
was interesting to find The first record (1580): 300 years..
While England, Scotland and Wales have an interesting history. I
was wondering if there is any other web sites that can find earlier
dates of the name in other locations. Of course, I know there are
many Loftus names that have been changed, i.e. lofthouse/Loftdweller/Lofts/Loftis/etc.
All I am trying to find is the oldest date.. Anyway, if you happen
to come accross something interesting, please E-Mail me at loftus@chtree.com
Kindest regards
Ron Loftus..San Diego California.. |

Hi,
my name is Darrell Gene Loftus II
I
don't know much about my family heritage on my father's side, Darrell
Gene Loftus I. I know that my father is from West Virginia as well
as his brothers and sisters.
I
know my information is quite vague, but until my mother can give me
more information as to my grandparents, I will e-mail again. I also
want to see if you may be able to send me in the right direction.
By
the way my parents divorced when I was about 4 yrs. old, but my father's
blood runs thru my veins, and that makes me a Loftus.
I
would appreciate any information. Thanks for making the web page,
it is encouraging to know that their are other Loftus' world wide.

Greetings
Duane!
I
stumbled on your site and may be able to get you some information
about a bunch of Loftus folks mostly in the Pacific Northwest.
My
understanding is that my great-grandfather came to Wisconsin from
Norway. His name was Lofthus, but he dropped the "h" to make the name
more "American".
Anyway,
there are a bunch of Loftus-types here in Oregon, Washington, and
Alaska stemming from his family, and if you are interested, I may
be able to get you a copy of our tree, which was put together several
years ago by some of my relatives. The main family names involved
in this tree include:
Loftus, Younger, Roth, and Wiegert.
Regards,
-Toby A. Loftus |

Lofthus |
Hello!
My
name is David Lofthus (with an 'h') and I live outside of Rochester,
NY (USA).
I have been assigned to do a family history project and am curious
about how the 'h' became dropped from Lofthus, Norway to Loftus, England.
Possibly something about Vikings (conquering territories)? Any information
would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
David Lofthus |

B. Loftus, Jr |
My
name is James B. Loftus, Jr. son of (who else) James B. Loftus, Sr.,
son of Joseph Loftus of Dana, Illinois.
I'm not sure of the names before that (for shame). This band is from
Ireland: Joseph's parents immigrated to the US.
I have four brothers: John, Mark, Kevin and Michael. My father had
a brother, Francis, and a sister, Mary Ellen.
I'll poke around and report back with more.

Loftus |
I
haven't a lot of info - but do know of an Ann Loftus b. LaCrosse,
WI? 1990's?; married Wallace Wickberg - lived in Gary, Indiana raising
5 children.
I
do have some specifics about these children, and their progeny if
someone is interested.
Just E-mail me.

| Lavinia
Loftus -From E. Cunningham |
Haven't
done much research on the Loftus family but while researching my grandparent
Allender's family I found that Lavinia Loftus married Thomas D. Allender.
They had at least two children, James Allender born about 1847 and
Cornelia Allender born about 1850. I think there were several others
and these two were the youngest. I believe that I have some information
that for some reason or other these two children were raised by a
Clayton family or an Amos family. They were born in either Maryland
or southern PA.
I
plan to make an attempt to get into this family as soon as I find
out some more about the Allender family. Your page looks great and
I hope I can find something here that will be helpful. If I don't
I have certainly found this to be an interesting page. (James Allender
was my great grandfather so I guess Lavinia Loftus was my gg grandmother).

Greetings
from Michael J. Loftus in Troy, Illinois, USA.
I
am very interested in hearing more about the Loftus family. My Grandfather
was Edward Loftus and was often referred to as "Red" due to his red
complexion and red tint of hair.
I
am a school administrator and just recently have joined the internet.
My parents and grandparents are all gone now, so I am sort of at a
dead-end to gather info. My e-mail is loftusmj@mvp.net
Thanks,
Michael J. Loftus |

buried April 22, 1920, Mt. Olivet, Joliet, Illinois (Will Co.).
Her father was Thomas Loftus, brother Martin Loftus from Toronto,
CANADA and a sister Mres. Timothy Kennedy who lived in Indianapolis,

Padden, but the above is all we have on Nora. Any suggestions, please

Anthony
Loftus - Chicago
Hi
Duane:
I
just checked out Loftus Registry page today, and how exciting. My
mother was a Loftus and I'm trying to find out any info. I can about
her grandfather, ANTHONY LOFTUS. My mother had told me that she believed
he was born in Cork. I' ve done research through the branch of the
National Archives in Chicago and through my grandfather's birth certificate.
I
think he was born about 1837. I'm not sure what year he came to this
country, but from other documents I have researched, it looks as if
he applied for U.S. citizenship in Philadelphia in 1857.
He
settled in Chicago, Illinois. He lived at 511 N. Halsted Street. According
to the 1900 census his children were still living at this address
in Chicago, Illinois during that census.
He
married Mary Daughtery. They had five children (I believe all children
were born in Chicago):
ANNIE
(b. March 1872) (married William Kempton) ANTHONY (b. March 1875)
PATRICK HENRY (my grandfather) (b. Feb. 1879). Married Theresa GAVIN.
They had three daughters (Mary, Lucille and Annette (my mom)).
FRANK (b. Oct. 1884)
MICHAEL (b. ?)
ANTHONY
LOFTUS and his wife MARY are buried in Calvary Cemetary in Evanston,
IL (suburb of Chicago).
Hope
this information isn't too convoluted. Maybe I can make a "link" with
some other Loftus relations.
Thanks
for any help.
Bernadine.
