Unfortunately all of the the ‘older’ generation is long dead, (those who were adults when they fled). Do you have the names of other Ruma relatives? According to my husband’s family their name was always spelled without an h. There were even other Dreer families that my husband was not related to. If you go on Christoph Stoepel’s “GEOGEN” page you will find most Dreers in Bavaria. It gives the percentage of Dreers from all regions of Germany. The first settlers came 1749 from Württemberg, the Palatine and Oberfranken. Their dialect was definitely Bavarian /Frankish. They always insisted they were not Donauschwowe, but Roamer ‘Deitsche’. Officially they were DS. When we lived in Toronto there were a lot of Rumaer families: Rupp, Nagel, Reinprecht, Dillmetz, Habenschuss, Wolf, Minich, Linzner, Kaufmann, Bornbaum, Bonigut, Schoblocher..... Do you have the two Ruma books. There is a lot of history since the first settlers arrived, but no individual towns or dates of origin. They list all the male residents but no spouses or birth , marriage or death dates. i’m sorry I have no other information. My husband died in seventeen years ago. Anne Dreer In freezing Ontario From: Michael Ewing Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2018 11:10 AM To: Anne Dreer Subject: Ruma Connection Hello Anne, I hope you had a wonderful holiday season with your family. It has been a while since we corresponded and in the meanwhile, I have established a DREHER lineage for my family going back to the original Ruma immigrant, Thomas DREER through his son Balthasar. As you surely know, the name was spelled a variety of ways: Dreher, Dreer, Treer, etc. I was wondering if your husband has information on his descent to see how we may connect.

Does anyone here have information on the person listed below, or know where I can find information?
