Hello Barbara, I assume there were some "Karl Hummel" in Diersheim but perhaps the following is the brother of your Catharina: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~wegner/webweg/wegn168.htm 1 Hummel of Diersheim was in the prison because of his activity in the revolution in Baden in 1849. Johann Georg Hummel (1806-1858), town-clerk, mayor (1835-44), member of the National Assembly of Baden in 1849. He flees to Strasbourg after the revolution, then USA, came back in 1852, was in the prison till 1855. released because he was ill, died in 1858. I believe there is a picture of him. 2 Schreiner of Diersheim were soldiers in the revolution army in 1849: Friedrich (emigrated 1873) Jakob (emigrated 1851) The following Hummel were soldiers in the revolution army: Friedrich Martin Michel Michel There is a history book of Diersheim: Kößler, Friedrich Das Rhein- und Grenzdorf Diersheim in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart and even a movie: Diersche forever,... de Film BTW: I believe the name "Diersheim" is on the arc de triomphe in Paris because there was a battle near Diersheim in 1797: http://www.parisrama.com/thematiques/thematique_arcdetriomphe.htm - Wendelin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Bower" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 1:48 PM Subject: [Ortenau] Re.

Thank you for the information. My Catharina had a brother born 1801, so this could have been a younger one. My greatgreat grandfather was also Frederick, but he migrated in 1849 he was 27 at the time. The Fredeick who fight in the revolution may have been a cousin. I was just on the web page you sent me and and it says the Carl Hummel died in Koshkonong, Jefferson County, Wisconsin. That is where my Catharina HUMMEL SCHRIENER lived and she is buried. So there may very well be a connection -- he may be Charles Ludwig HUMMEL. I was looking for Charles not Carl. I will check further.
