Hi everybody,

First I would like to say thanks to add me on this list.

My name's Robert Vandersee Spillare and I am from Brazil.
In the XIX century, a small group of Austrian immigrants coming from Tirol-Austria and settled in the imperial colony of Santa Leopoldina in the State of Espirito Santo in Brazil, founding the district called until today Tyrol.

Between these brave people, was my ancestor Joseph Egg (born near to the 1824 in the Tirol) he married Anna Arnold from Tirol. In the colonny contract say from Gries.

What can I do to find where he was born? about family history?

Ps. I am share with you a simple video about my family in Brazil, had something about my austrian origins too:

Hello Franz, I'll waiting for it, I am sure it will be worth.

Ps. The history of Tyrolean immigration to the Espirito Santo State is very beautiful, unlike other immigrants who came with large families, the Tyrolean came seraching the opportunity to build their families, some by they were married in the port of Hamburg.

Thanks

Greetings aus Brasilien
Robert

Can it be you posted anywhere at another (english) forum to the same theme? The Gries theme was to find anywhere in the past, I´m pretty sure….or it was another person.

In Tyrol you find 2 places named Gries. Both places do not belong to the Zillertal area.

You can ask about e-mail at Tyrolean Country Archive in Innsbruck if they can find your ancestor in the files at one of this places: https://www.tirol.gv.at/kunst-kultur/landesarchiv/

For further research you can contact then the parish church.

In Austria it is known more as "Dorf Tirol". ;)
"Die Siedlung wurde im Jahr 1857 von Einwanderern gegründet, die aus dem Stubaital und Oberinntal, (heute im österreichischen Teil von Tirol) stammten. Die brasilianische Kaiserin Leopoldine von Habsburg (+ 1826) hatte den Tirolern und auch anderen Österreichern schon zu ihrer Regierungszeit Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben in Südamerika erwachsen lassen." http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirol_(Esp%C3%ADrito_Santo) (copy Link)

Yes, it may have been my post you've seen. My research on the paternal side (Italian) are well developed, as well as the research of the German mother's side (my grandfather). I'm always trying to find information about the family of my maternal grandmother, so, the Austrian side.

The Tyrolean began arriving in the Espírito Santo State approximately between the years 1858 - 1862, where they founded in Santa Leopoldina the small colony of Tyrol (my grandfather was born in Tyrol Brazilian or Tyrol capixaba as we call the place), they were among the first immigrants to colonize the region, that later was massively settled by Germans. Many people speak in German or mainly in Pomerod.

Among the first families were: Aichner, Blank, Egg, Erlacher, Föger, Greier, Helmer, Holzmeister, Kapferer, Kofler, Kressbacher, Markt, Meir, Müller, Oberacher, Oelhafen, Penz, Pfurtscheller, Piedner, Possmoser, Rander, Reich, Roffner, Rott, Schleifer, Schlierenzauer, Schmidt, Schöpf, Siller, Singer, Specklacher, Steiner, Ischan, Uberbacher, Walcher and Wegscheider.

They came from: Erlach, Schönberg, Greis, Hall, Nassereit, Neustift, Arzl, Fulpmess, Frauling, Ranggen, Obsteig, Oberperfuss, Mieders, Matrei, Martinau, Mall, Innsbruck ...

My ancestor Joseph Egg Arrived in 1859 married with Genovefa Kofler and 1 child (Joseph Egg), then he married Anna Arnold (from Tyrol) and had another children: Josepg Egg, Franz Egg, Emilie Egg and Clemenz Egg.

Added a settler contract the stretch of my great-great-grandfather Joseph Egg.

Hi guys, today I received by mail this link https://apps.tirol.gv.at/bildarchiv/#1450311669205_146 looks very interesting for who do researches in the Tyrol area. Unfurtunetelly for me is very hard, but slowly I'll try to find my austrian ancestors.
