Hello! Looking for information regarding the LAUMEISTER surname. I have bits and pieces from 4 separate LAUMEISTER families, but cannot find where they connect. The first set includes Lorenz b. 1616-1672 and his family that lived in Steinmark Unterfraken Bavaria until about 1750. The second set is Josef Laumeister born before 1780 and his family including Johann and Stefan. They were from Momlingen Bavaria. There were a whole bunch of Laumeisters that settled in York County PA in the late 1700s and they too came from Bavaria but I do not know which parts. Another family, related to most living Laumeisters in the US, were brothers Francis William and William Frank born in the 1820s. My own family begins with John Anthony Laumeister who married Mary Ann Hartman in Bavaria and had sons Leonard b. 1824 and Lewis b. 1822. My family moved to Stockton CA in the late 1840s early 1850 and lived there until about 1950. My great grandfather Herman Aloysuis was born in Stockton in 1859. ANY information regarding this surname would be GREATLY appreciated as I know I am so close to a link but just dont see how they all connect! Many thanks, Katie O'Connor peanuts4me@jps.net
