Sue, It's very hard to piece together facts with so little to go on isn't it? I wouldn't know if your Anna Wolman was related. My great great grandparents Henry and Barbara did have a total of 6 children and we've only known of two in Michigan. We think they immigrated around 1875 - 1878 but we haven't found their records of passage either. For me it is rare to find any other spellings of the "Wohlman" name like this in Michigan. Usually this spelling shows up in New York a lot.

Yes it is. My great grandmother, Emma Hurt Louthan, died in 1972 when I was 14. I never took the opportunity to ask about her family. :>( Kathy -----Original Message----- From: PJ V [mailto:netkitty@hotmail.com] Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 9:52 AM To: GERMAN-BOHEMIAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [GERMAN-BOHEMIAN] Wohlman Family Sue, It's very hard to piece together facts with so little to go on isn't it?
