The Rude Forefathers (Part 1)

For an overview from Uncle Bill of these colourful characters, please click here.

In the Generation Table displayed below, I'm deeply indebted to the link

• www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000018667046445

1. in that it supports the idea that Christian and Philipp von Kaulbach were brothers (though leaves unspecified the names and details of their parentage)
2. and for many of the details of the von Kaulbachs' wives and families
3. and please note that it relocates 'Theodor' as the final forename of Christian's son.

Note also the honorific prefix of "von". As with the Anglo-Scottish equivalent "of", or the French genitive "de", I'm unsure in general as to whether it's official or self-bestowed, and indeed whether it simply reflects where the bearer happened to live or to have arrived from. But as Uncle Bill points out, the von Kaulbachs were indeed pretty big cheeses in popular and official esteem, and the family name was everywhere to be seen in and on public places and buildings.

As the places of births and deaths are key to the movements of the family members across a timespan of well over a century, I'm including them with the dates wherever possible.

Please note that, generation by generation,

• Philipp and Christian were brothers
• (Theodore) Friedrich and Wilhelm were first cousins
• Friedrich and Hermann were second cousins

Obviously there is a limit to how far backwards or sideways one can extend a family tree, and the zone of our personal interest is anyway probably demarcated by great grandparents and second cousins – sometimes rather less!

But even at greater removes there can be isolated individuals who command our interest and/or admiration. One such ancestor was Wilhelm von Kaulbach (aka Bernhard Wilhelm Eliodrus Kaulbach), described briefly on pp 4-5 of The Kaulbacks as follows:

All this sounds very meritorious, but barely scratches the surface of the artist himself. To get his true measure we must turn first to Wikipedia and then to some representative examples culled from the internet. All right, he wasn't an A star, but was certainly a highly accomplished B plus for his huge allegorical canvases. And the photographic portraits clearly reveal his very idiosyncratic taste in body-warmers.

Despite his fervent Protestantism, he seems to have been on friendly terms with Liszt, as witness the rather idealised engraving and soulful portrait we saw in the previous link.

Liszt returned these favours by composing a stirring symphonic poem Die Hunnenschlact (Battle of The Huns) inspired by von Kaulbach's epic picture of that name (and which I found unexpectedly enjoyable when broadcast on Classic FM in early 2012). Rather apposite to our own era, which likewise finds our Western civilisation under assault.

As implied by the extract above from The Kaulbacks, Wilhelm von Kaulbach was by no means the only artistic member of the family. His son Hermann von Kaulbach (26 Jul 1846 – 9 Dec 1909) studied medicine to start with, but switched to painting, initially of historical themes, though was ultimately best known for his portraits of children.

Wilhelm's cousin (though Wikipedia is rather wobbly on the exact degree of cousinhood) Theodor Friedrich Wilhelm Christian von Kaulbach (8 Jul 1822 – 17 Sep 1903), known as Friedrich, was a highly successful court painter to King George V of Hanover. He also painted the portrait of Wilhelm shown above.

Friedrich's son Friedrich August von Kaulbach (2 Jun 1850 – 26 Jul 1920) was a portraitist^1,  2 and historical painter, and is described by Wikipedia as the great-nephew of Wilhelm. He painted, for example, the rather sumptuous portrait of Hanna Ralph, shown below purely on the basis of its artistic merit, and the tragic figure of the last Tsarina of Russia (although some claim this was actually her elder sister Elisabeth – indeed, they were both brutally murdered by the Bolsheviks after the revolution).

The hyperlinked profiles in the Generation Table are of course taken from Bill Kaulback's admirable The Kaulbacks (1979). In the very first of these, for John Martin von Kaulbach, he discusses the motivations and experiences of those trail-blazing German pioneers in the mid-eighteenth century, though I can't quite reconcile the dates he gives for the voyage of the good ship Ann with those tabulated in the Wikipedia article – perhaps the sturdy Ann made more than one such voyage.

• www.novascotia.com/en/home/discovernovascotia/history/routestoyourroots/settlementpatterns/theforeignprotestants.aspx

and there's also a frequently-referenced academic treatise that I've made absolutely no attempt to track down, life's just too short.

The History of the County of Lunenberg

The rapid and successful progress of the Kaulbach family mirrored that of the Lunenberg settlement itself. Indeed, as we have seen from their profile links above, they played a full and active part in the local community, and were in the forefront of public life in the whole of Nova Scotia, as instanced by their unbroken tenure as Lunenberg County Sheriffs for over eighty years, their prominence in the Nova Scotia Militia, and their public offices in the Nova Scotia Assembly.

So it is no surprise that they gained frequent references in the historical annals of Lunenburg:

Specific references to the (von) Kaulbach family

Bill Kaulback compiled this list quite possibly for his own reference when writing The Kaulbacks, but it might also be helpful for a wider audience.

Letter from Peter Kaulback
to his father Ron about the
Lunenberg County History

This is of course a personal letter that (most fortunately) has survived. It accompanied a copy of the Mika edition that Peter sent his father for Christmas in 1982. Nothing in it is confidential – indeed it's all about the family involvement in Lunenburg. So I have no hesitation in reproducing it here, and it is a happy reminder of Peter's characteristic enthusiasm, generosity and devotion to family.

Bricks and Mortar

Lunenburg Academy, 97 Kaulbach Street, where John Henry Kaulbach's three sons (Henry Adolphus, Charles Edwin and James Albert) were educated (though it must be admitted that perhaps it was rebuilt back in the 1890's).

Sadly, I can't find any validated image of Medway Hall, the ancestral home of the Lunenburg Kaulbachs, on the internet – though I did just miss an eBay opportunity earlier this year when an elderly photograph of it went for a measly $20 before I'd noticed.

But as consolation prize, here is the handsome façade of Kaulbach House at 75 Pelham Street, Old Town, Lunenburg.

Plus the retrospective.

However, perhaps this slipped through the net;
I'm virtually certain that it's a miniature of the item in question:

And that this next picture is of the very same building in a somewhat later context, and subsequent to some additional ramifications:



In horse-breeding jargon, this is out of Mad King Ludwig II by Walt Disney. DG.

Kaulbach Island

I don't know whether Kaulbach Island ever belonged to the Lunenburg Kaulbach family, and strongly suspect that they played no part in building the house (they would have added extra turrets, gables and crenellations) – but I just love the combination of the name, the location, and the quietly understated millionnaire's mansion.

The Rude Forefathers (Part 3)

This section will hopefully provide a context, or infrastructure, for Parts (1) and (2), and wishfully even help suggest an identity for the most recent common ancestor of the German and Canadian branches of the family. I'm tempted to think of him as akin to Uncle Uggug, immortalised in one of Ron Kaulback's favourite extempore odes:

Here's to Uncle Uggug,
That heroic early human,
The first to eat an oyster,
The first to marry a woman.
But shame on those who mutter
As the party waxes moister,
"Had he only eaten the woman,
Had he only married the oyster".

(There are several variants!)

Bill Kaulback inscribed the flyleaf of a copy of The Kaulbacks, "To my very dear Sister-in-Law Audrey, 29 Mar 1979", (his Foreword is dated Jun 1976), and almost exactly a decade later, on 11 Mar 1989, Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the World Wide Web (now virtually synonymous with the internet). And the Google search engine first saw the light of day a decade later still.

In other words, Bill's research and drafting of his family-historical masterpiece had antedated by rather more than 20 years, almost 30 years indeed, the convenience of sitting on ones bum and googling for all the information one requires (which is what I do). And all the oral information he had obtained from family members, and documents from religious or civic or academic sources, in Britain, Canada or Germany, he had to laboriously transcribe into text on some primitive secretarial machine, or maybe into his own meticulous handwriting.

But it's questionable to push the record even further back than he felt able to, as The Kaulbacks does strongly suggest that he had personal access to material of even earlier date than I do, for all my technology. Unfortunately there was much that was wantonly destroyed in a vast bonfire following the death of his younger son.

Bill's own best guess was that John Martin (or Michael) von Kaulbach, who led the family migration to the New World in 1750, was quite possibly the brother of Philipp Karl Friedrich's von Kaulbach's grandfather Moritz Christian Kaulbach (b 9 Mar 1697, see table below).

Well, we do now have a considerably better idea of the dates involved, so let's see how the likelihood progresses. It would be nice to find a tie-in.

This is tabulated below for greater clarity, and as locations of birth, marriage and death are essential to an understanding of what was going on, I've recorded those too, wherever possible.

Time's arrow saltates uncertainly down the table, attempting to place individuals in roughly the right timezone appropriate to maybe just a single biodate (DoB, DoM or DoD) that has been assigned to them, or maybe the DoB attached to one of their offspring.

Some of the individuals may well be interrelated, but it's impossible to tell.

So, how might it be possible to fit the elusive John Martin (von) Kaulbach into this reasonably informative matrix of biodata? For starters, of course, we don't know much from Uncle Bill about John Martin's immediate family anyway.

There are a few minor biographical entries for him on the internet, such as

But alas, I'm quite unable to integrate Johann Martin Kaulbach's lineage with the rest of those we might call the Dierdorf Kaulbachs as previously tabulated. Bill's own surmise, that Johann Martin Kaulbach was a brother of Moritz Christian Kaulbach (b 9 Mar 1697), seems to be dead in the water, as nothing fits.

There is one entry, highlighted in yellow, that could possibly be what we're looking for:

But as we know norra lorra Dr Johannes Kaulbach, his wife Anna Margaretha or (hopefully eldest) daughter, we've simply exchanged one set of uncertainties for another.

It's quite possible, however, that Johann Martin Kaulbach was a half-brother who had taken the name of his Kaulbach step-father. The connection with Montbéliard surely deserves investigation.

I might well resume the search in the not too distant future.
