Your message caught my attention because, I am looking for descendents of Endreses from Cincinnati, OH.Although, I have no Michael in my immediate family, there still could be a connection.My Great-Grandfather, Frank (Ferenc) Endres(z) came to Cincinnati with his family in 1907.They came from a village called Perjamosch, Hungary.They were of German descent.His ancestors were originally from Merschbach, Germany.I have the family traced back to circa 1650.They were found in this area as early as 1556.
There were many Endres families who emigrated in the early 1900s to Cincinnati from Hungarian villages in what is known as The Banat.After WWI the villages were part of Romania.
Have you checked the Ellis Island site?Be sure to look for variations of Endres.My family has been recorded as Endres, Endress, Andres, Endresz, etc.Do you have any idea of a birthdate for your Michael?Was he married when he came to the US?You said you didn't have a middle name for him.Michael could have been his middle name.It was a common German practice to give a child first a church name and then the given name.Some records show both, some just the church name and some just the given name.Things can become very confusing when you find 3 brothers all called Johann, for example.What religion was your Endres family.This also helps to research their ancestry.Let me know anything else you know or find.Perhaps I can help more.I have the Endres 1910 census for Hamilton Co. somewhere.If I remember correctly, there were only two families, both headed by a John.I'll check further.Faye Endres Bradley
