Johnannes von Allmen (b. circa 1821) emigrated to the US some time prior to 1869. In 1874, his first wife, a widow named  Charlotte Peter, died in Pennsylvania.  He then married another widow, Anna Martha Landgreb, and had a daughter Rosia (b. 15 January 1879).  Johannes was also known as John in the US, and his exact link to his Swiss roots is not known at present.

Jakob von Allmen (b. Unterseen, 1810) emigrated to the US and settled in Illinois, along with his family, including son Johannes von Allmen (b. Unterseen, 1840 - also known as John).  His ancestors are not known at present.

Johannes von Allmen (b. Iseltwald 29 November 1878) emigrated to the US with his wife Louisa Feutz (b. Stechelberg, 24 May 1883) and their 2 oldest children, Louisa and Johanna in about 1914, settling in Ohio, where 2 more children were born.  Johannes parents were Ulrich von Allmen and Elizabeth Abeggen.  His direct line goes back to another Johannes von Allmen (baptised Lauterbrunnen, 30 Jan 1735), but he has several von Allmen lines in his ancestry, and his ancestors include Hans von Allmen, who married Magdalena Kammer at Lauterbrunnen in 1656.

Johnannes’ brother Albert (b. Sandbach, 17 April 1899) also emigrated to the US, and was married in Wisconsin.

Hans von Allmen (b. Lauterbrunnen 3 September 1901)  emigrated to the US in about 1919.  He married an Austrian woman, Cecilia Jung, and settled in Oregon.  This von Allmen line goes back to Johannes von Allmen of Schlambalm in the mid- 18th century.

Hans’ brother Adolf von Allmen (b. Lauterbrunnen, 13 June 1896) also emigrated and settled in Oregon.

Werner von Allmen (b. Beatenberg, 23 May 1905) emigrated to the US and settled in Michigan.  His parents were Johannes von Allmen and Elisabeth Raaflaub, and his direct line goes back to Christian von Allmen of Mürren, who was born about 1750.

Karl August von Allmen (b. Aussersihl, 2 August 1878) emigrated to the US in about 1895 and settled in Connecticut with his wife, Caroline Barbara Schweitzer.  He had the same name as his father and grandfather, but we have not yet connected him to the rest of his Swiss roots.

Alfred Gertsch (b. Lauterbrunnen, 13 January 1876) and his sister Klara (b. Lauterbrunnen, 18 January 1873) emigrated to the US in the late 1890’s.  Their parents were Peter Gertsch and Margaretha von Allmen.  Their direct line goes back to Peter and Barbara Gertsch, who were married in Lauterbrunnen in 1681. 

Magdalena von Allmen (b. Lauterbrunnen, 17 September 1858) and her husband Christian Hirschi converted to the Mormon faith in the 1880’s and emigrated to the state of Idaho.  Magdalena’s parents were Heinrich von Allmen and Magdalena Fuhrer, but we have no further information about her ancestors at present.
