The
descendants of Joseph Romenesco and Theodora Philipsen
Joseph Romenesco and Theodora Philipsen immigrated to the United States
with 4 of their 5 children in 1854. Their eldest son Joseph was already married and had
a family of his own. His descendants can still be found living in the Netherlands today.
Until I
complete the research and Family Group portion of my book on the Romenesko descendants,
I will list here a privatized report of their descendants.
When I began my genealogy research in 1997, I was fortunate enough to
acquire the genealogy work on the Romenesko family that had been done by
Peter and Els (Elizabeth) Romonesco. They had traced about 1800 descendants
of the Romenesko family.
Peter Romonesco lives in Mierlo in the province of Noord Brabrant,
Netherlands and is my 4th cousin once removed. He is a descendant of Petrus
Romanesco (1808-1892) who was a brother to my 3rd Great Grandfather
Joseph Romenesco (1799-1862) who emigrated from the Netherlands with his
wife and 5 of their 6 children. Joseph's siblings and his eldest son
Stephanus Romenesko (1824-1899) remained in the Netherlands to work and
raise their own families.
I have spent many hours, days, months and years adding to Peter and Els
work, writing letters, researching vital records and talking to distant
cousins, and as of June 2005, I now have 9448 descendants! I have
never met them in person, but I owe them a big THANK YOU for providing me
with such a well done "foundation" from which I was able to build on.
In July 2005 Peter and Els
started their own website on their family genealogy, which can be found at
this web page address;
ROMONESCO ROMANESCO ROMENESKO

Their web site is
"under construction" and current most of it is only in Dutch, but the
English pages should be added soon.
Cause of Death Reports
Because of the large number of
descendants of Joseph Romenesko and Theodora Philipsen,
they are split into smaller
groups by each of their children;
Cause of death report for
the descendants of Stephanus Romenesko (1824-1899)
Cause of death report for
the descendants of Mary Romenesko (1825-1904) and Peter Green.
Cause of death report for the descendants of Henry Romenesko (1831-1913)
and Maria Ruppert .
Cause of death report for the
descendants of Gerhard Romenesko (1833-1903) and Theresa Hagel.
Cause of death report for the
descendants of Walter William Romenesko (1837-1913) and Catharina Green.
The descendants of
Giacomo Antonio
Romanesco
My Romenesko
family research has taken me as far back as Giacomo Antonio Romanesco who was born sometime before
1717 probably in ITALY. He was the father of Maria Catherina Romanesco who was born
February 5, 1731 in Pollegio, SWITZERLAND and Stefano Romanesco. We know Stefano
Romanesco married Maria Agata Imperadore on March 4, 1756 also in Pollegio,
Switzerland. This report is a
listing of all the known descendants, excluding the descendants of Joseph Romenesco.
