Lester & Dorothy, I have a Bavarian ancestor in my Umhoefer line with the German first name of Hieronymus. It was spelled Hyronimus. Perhaps it is also a Dutch name, but I just wanted to let you know that it was also a name used in Bavaria. -Kay > Subj: [BAVARIA] FW: [B-W] Unusual First Names > Date: 9/20/2005 8:15:59 PM Eastern Standard Time > From: dotwhite@comcast.net > Reply-to: BAVARIA-L@rootsweb.com > To: BAVARIA-L@rootsweb.com > > I am searching for the home place of Hieronymus Glantz.

Kay, We may have covered this terrain before, but did your Bavarian ancestor UNHOEFER come to Wisconsin... Washington County.....Menomonee Falls (city/village?) area by chance? One of my BACHHUBER's from Dodge County, WI, married an UMHOEFER back in the 1800's. Also, a high school friend of mine had next-door neighbors named UMHOEFER in Menomonee Falls. I didn't live there; I grew up in Milwaukee. Just wondering.....
