Hello Marie
Thanks for getting in touch.The reason that I don't have much on my tree about Andrew Martin Romans life in America is because I know so little.But here is the family story.Long ago (I really don't know when). An ancestor left Russia for America.
His name was ROMANOF/F (unsure of ending). May have been a family or a single
male. Some where along the way his name changed to ROMAN. Whether to sound more westernised for America, or whether immigration changed it to Roman.Or as has been mooted,as it sounded the same as Romanov (murdered Russian royal family).he may have changed it so as not to be wrongly associated with them fearing reprisals.
Anyway.Mr.Roman is now in America.This may even be Francis Roman.I have no idea .Hence the plea for help.The next thing is Andrew Martin Roman.(AMR) He had 4 children in the States. Joseph his son .And 3 girls,Gertrude, Annie and Katie.I have no idea if he was married at this time ,single,or living together with the childrens' mother. In 1898-1900 I think. AMR came to England as part of the Buffalo Bill wild west show.And Katie came with him. When the show left England AMR stayed here.Katie appears on the 1901 census then disappears. This is due to her being murdered in a Jack the Ripper type of way.Details of the court case can be found on Google if you enter t19090907-77. It says Kitty Roran. But this was later corrected to Kitty/katie Roman.
All the children born in England were before AMR married Annie Monk. I don't know if he deserted his first wife. or wives?. Was waiting for a divorce.or for her to pass away before he remarried.
I just remembered. The story is he married into the Emery family. The people who invented Emery paper,used in metalwork,And Emery boards used for nail filing etc.
So that's the story.What I am aiming to do is put names and dates to it all.
Thanks for offering any help.

Steven, really pleased you found your way back onto here!

What a great story (OK, I know the murder's not nice but it's good to have some history) - will have a look and see what can be turned up so keep checking back.

One thing Steven - you've marked the thread as answered so people will assume you don't want further help. If you go to your first post on page one there will be a pinky coloured button that says something like "mark this as unanswered" - click on that.

Would be an idea if you could give some feedback to the info people have posted for you. :-)

Marie Celeste.
I did have a little trouble. Couldn't see how the message would go to you. But I get the impression everybody who looks at the board sees it .
I misunderstood the bit about "marking as answered ".I just thought that meant I've answered the message you had posted. I suppose the more I use it the better I'll get. Its beginning to look like I need access to USA records,But with just a few names to go on.I could only enter very vague clues.
I will post notes for the other folk ,who were kind enough to spend some of there time looking at sites.And finding info for me. Its much appreciated.
All the best
Steve

I do have a downloaded copy of the 1915 marriage certificate.Was there something you wanted to know from it?. I don't know the mother of Katie or Joseph. It could have been a woman named Emery/ Emmery.
But that's a family story handed down.I have not been able to find any documentary evidence of this. Or much else really. It's getting a bit frustrating.

Patchem
I'm afraid you chased the wrong Andrew Roman.The one from Hungary is the wrong man.I went down the same path a while back .And nothing fitted in with what I had been told. Also there is nobody called Byron in my Roman family . (as far as I'm aware. The death of Katie in 1909 is correct.

Brumiejan
Yes.My tree does show Catherine Ebers as Francis wife. I was given this info from another member. And since posting my plea for help,Mike came up with marriage certificate info.
thanks for now.

Mike
Thanks for looking into this.Could you tell me where you found Andrew Martin Romans' date of birth from. Because I thought I saw it somewhere.but don't know where I was searching when I came across it. If you got the info from my tree.It may not be correct except for the year 1855.
I haven't seen the site Family Search. So cannot say if that name should be Roman or not.
