THE PLETSCHETTE FAMILY OF NEUNHAUSEN first version: June 24, 2000
==================================== last updated: May 16, 2004
________________________________________________________________________
1. Pletschette, John. *1644 - +1712
oo Meyers, Cath. *?? - +1725
2. Pletschette, Paul *?? - +1734
oo Mertz, Marg. *?? - +1740
3. Pletschette, Jak. *?? - +1750
oo Mack, Marg. *?? - +1761
4. Pletschette, Joh. *?? - +1755
oo Rausch, Maria *?? - +1732
5. Pletschette, Joh. *?? - +1769
oo Wilwerding, Mari *?? - +1770
Note: According to J-F Languy, there is something wrong with the
relationships on the above Ancestors, as there are only 114 years
to spread between 6-generations. Perhaps #3 & #4 above were brothers,
as they died within 5-years of each other.
A. Pletschette, John. *1644 & Johannes, Pletschet +1783 = 139 years,
Divided by 6 generations = 23+ years each. Technically, it is
possible this could be correct. - C. Arnold
6. Pletschet, Johannes *?? - +1783
oo Adamy, Anna *?? - +1770
They lived in Neunhausen, in Wiltz Canton, in the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. We believe Johannes was appointed
"Burgermeister" (mayor) of Neunhausen in 1778.
*Note: According to Marie Heusbourg-Thilmany's translations,
Joannes Pletschet witnessed, for the Count of Esch-Saur,
the signing of the 9FEB1778 document, appointing his
son, J. Pierre Pletschet, mayor of Neunhausen. This would
have made J. Pierre only 20 years old.
This was during the time Luxembourg was governed by Austria.
It is said
he owned the village, and all the people living in Neunhausen worked
for Johannes. In turn he governed the people. (Please note, on
the Family Tree or "Stammbaum" as given to me by Margot Kohl, his
name was spelled Joannes Pletschet with only one "t" at the end,
as were
all his decendents. However, on the Pletschette Family Gravestone,
his
name is engraved as "Jak. Pletschette". It is unknown how many
children they had. However, as was the custom of his time, he
passed on his title and property to his oldest son:
7. Pletschet, J. Pierre *1758 - +24AUG1818
oo Asselborn, Maria *?? - +1813
Jean-Pierre was mayor of Neunhausen and signed with
"J.P. Pletschet, maeyer".
*Note: According to Maria Heusbourg-Thilmany, her records indicate
J. Pierre's son, Bernard, signed his death certificate even
though his mother, Maria Asselborn was still living.
Therefore, her death date is incorrect.
Also, her records indicate J. Pierre & Maria had only three
children; Anna-Catherine *1792, Marie-Catherine *1793, and
Bernard *1794.
It is unknown exactly how many children they had besides
Bernard *1785/86, Therese Pletscher *1794, Maria-Catharina *1796,
Anna-Catharina (known as Anne Marie) *1801, and another Bernard
*1803, but again the title and property were passed on to their
oldest son:
8. Pletschet, Bernard *1AUG1785/1786?? - +8FEB1853
oo Kellen, Catharina (or Catherine Koellen) *?? - +1861
Bernard was also mayor of Neunhausen and signed with
"Bernard Pletschet, bourgmestre".
(Notes indicate he may have inherited his title and property
in 1823?) As far as we know, all of the following nine
children were born in Neunhausen:
*Footnote: Napolean defeated at Waterloo, Belgium, but visits
Luxembourg in 1804. In 1814 the French leave Luxembourg.
9. Pletschet, Jean-Pierre *22JUN1814 - +29AUG1887
oo Loring, Anne-Catherine * 6DEC1824 - +1893 daughter of
Nicolas & Catherine Loring of Orsdorf) Jean-Pierre was the
oldenst of Bernard & Catharina's, and thus inherited the
title and property of Nuenhausen. Together they had the
following six children. It is said Jean-Pierre only
registered the new born boys, the girls were registered by
relatives. (Was this chauvinism?)
10. Pletschet, Bernard Dieudonne Alexandre *4FEB1844
+8MAY1921
Note: "Dieudonne" means "Gift of God".
Bernard was not married, and had no children to
pass the title and property on to (neither did his
brothers and sisters). When he died the land was
sold. It is said the relatives who emigrated to
America divided the money, while those who still
lived in Luxembourg, divided the possessions.
This was the end of the Pletschet family
from Neunhausen.
10. Pletschet, Sophie *19SEP1849 - +15JUN1913
Her name is engraved on the Pletschette Family
Gravestone. She remained single and lived with her
brother.
10. Pletschet, Auguste *15MAY1857 - +??
He became a Roman Catholic Priest, and later Director
of the Agriculture School in Effelbruick.
10. Pletschet, Anna-Maria-Mathilde *2MAY1859 - +27NOV1912
Her name is engraved on the Pletschette Family
Gravestone as Mathil. Pletschette. She remained
single and lived with her brother in Neunhausen.
10. Pletschet, Sophie-Emilie *12JAN1861 - +??
She also stayed with her brother in Neunhausen.
10. Pletschet, Francois-Denis *16FEB1864 - +24DEC1936
oo Hubertin-Mathiedg, Matelet Marie (??)
They had no children.
He was a Professor and later Director of the
Lycee Classique in Diekirch.
Note: There is a picture of him at:
http://www.restena.lu/apess/debuts.htm
9. Pletschet, Pierre *4SEP1816 - +??
oo Fourman, Anne Marie *21NOV1814 in Erpelding +??
oo 21FEB1836 in Eschweiler. They lived in Eschweiler.
Pierre was mayor of Eschweiler in 1849 for the first
time, and re-elected in 1861.
10. Pletschet, Anna Margaretha *1839
10. Pletschet, Marie Catherine *29SEP1840 - +10SEP1900

11. Meyers, Petrus *13NOV1866 - +??

9. Pletschet, Anna Marie *8MAR1823 - +??
9. Pletschet, Marie *30AUG1825 - +21MAR1865 (in Kaundorf)
She lived with younger brother, Jean Bernard in Kaundorf.
9. Pletschet, Nicolas *13OCT1827 - *3APR1883
My Great-Grandfather
oo Wilmes, Anna Margaretha *1834 - +18APR1888 of Boeven
(Bavigne)
*Note: According to Maria Heusbourg-Thilmany, Margaretha's
parents most likely had no son, so their son-in-law
continued the Wilmes farm.
It is said, that because Nicolas was not the oldest son,
and did not inherit the title and the property, he was
given ONE COW. It is a standing joke in the family, to
hold up your thumb and say, "What can you do with ONE cow?"
So Nicolas & Margaretha took their one cow to Boeven, and
together they had 12 children:
10. Pletschet, Catherine (Katherina) *8NOV1853 - +??
oo Majerus, Nicolas *?? - +??
Together they lived in Rambrouch, Luxembourg.
Catherine & Nicolas were grand-parents to
Nicolas Collingnon.
10. Pletschet, Sophie *18MAR1855 +07MAR1866

They were married in Luxembourg and together
They emigrated to the USA (According to Maria
Heusbourg-Thilmany's record on 24AUG1890, along with
her brother J. Peter, known as "John") and lived
in Trail, Minnesota. When my Grandfather Joseph came
To the USA at age 16, he lived with John and
Sophie for four years. It might have been to pay
Off his travel expenses, to establish citizenship,
And to become of legal age for homesteading rights.
My records show Sophie & John had five children:

Joe Pletchett, 90
Thief River Falls - Joe Pletchett, 90, died Tuesday, September 28, 1999
at Oakland Park Nursing Home in Thief River Falls. Mass of Christian
burial was held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 2 at St.
Bernard's Catholic Church in Thief River Falls with Rev. Dennis
Wieland officiating. Carol Amundson was the organist, and the
cantor was Marie Nowacki. Casketbearers were Virgil Burger,
Jim Fisher, John Schmitz, Millard Nelson, Willard Fleegel and
Pat Klemisch. Burial was in St. Charles Catholic Cemetery in
Trail. The Green Funeral Home of Thief River Falls was in charge
of the arrangements.
Joseph John Pletchett was born on September 18, 1909 in Trail, the
son of John and Mary (Majerus) Pletchett. He was baptized in the
Catholic faith and attended elementary school and two years of
high school in Plummer before quitting school to help on the
family farm.
In addition to farming the family farm, Joe also worked on the
railroad. He resided at Valley Home in Thief River Falls from 1979
until January of 1992 when he moved to the CNC unit of Northwest
Medical Center. Since November of 1993, he had resided at Oakland
Park Nursing Home.
He is survived by nine cousins, including Clara, Al, C.W., Roman,
Virgil, and Richard Radniecki, all of Oklee, Sybil Radnieki of

the dropped the 'e' on the end as evidenced by Elizabeth's

They took the farm of Michel Malget in Kaundorf.
Together they had 11 children of which only five

10. Pletschet, Wilhelm-Michel *04JAN1855 - +1919
oo Kerschen, Marie-Therese *04OCT1854 in Soller +28NOV1930
oo 21JAN1890 (Marie-Therese was a sister to wife of
Wilhelm Pletschet; so, two Pletschet brothers married
two Kerschen sisters.) She was the daughter of
Corneil Kerschen +26NOV1880 and Marie-Josephine Toussaint.
On the young couple's wedding document, Marie-Josphine
Signed, but her husband had passed away 10-years earlier.
They lived and farmed in Kaundorf until 1902, when they moved
to Soller. It seems Marie-Therese's brother was single, and when
he died, his farm was empty. As Uncle Wilhem told Maria
Heusbourg-Thilmany, the fields and also the house and barns
In Soller were better and had more facilities. Therefore the
Pletschet Family left Kaundorf and moved to Soller in early
Spring 1902. Bernard was then 11, Jean-Pierre 10, Willy 8,
And Marie-Anne was 5. At that time their uncle from
Neunhausen, Auguste Pletschet, was a Priest in Doncols. As
Doncols & Soller were a parish, the Pletschet children got
Their religious instruction by their uncle. Wilhelm-Michel
And Marie-Therese sold their house in Kaundorf, but the fields
Were kept. With the help of relatives from Kaundorf they
Farmed both places. Together they had four children:
11. Pletschet, Jean-Bernard *31JAN1891 - +13APR1977
He emigrated to Canada from Luxembourg 23DEC1926.
He arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia aboard the ship
“Arabic”.
oo Puteria, Marie *3OCT1908 in Saskatchewan -+19NOV1949

Together they had 5-children:
