My Great Grand Mother was Antonia Wohlman (b.1864 - d. 1941) who immigrated abt 1878 with her parents Henry Wohlman (b. 1833) and Barbara (b. 1837)to Sherman, Michigan (Harbor Beach). We know that her little sister Emma was 5 at the time when they immigrated. Census records say that Henry and Barbara had a total of 5 children but we have never heard mention of others. Antonia married Henry Klug. Emma married William Pipper. Did you find the same number of children on all subsequent census? Maybe some of the children died. I have a porcelain figurine that she brought with her from the old country and I wonder if I could post a picture of it here? I wonder if it would look familiar to anyone as far as location of origin Mailing lists do not accept attachments. A lot of Bohemian porcelain came from the Bohemian forest area along the border with Bavaria. A lot of people from that same area went to Michigan. Unfortunately I don't know what city my Wohlman ancestors came from. They spoke German. In census records they at one time said the came from Bohemia, then another time Austria. I have never heard their city of origin. Look for the name Wohlman or Wohlmann in the film at the LDS titled: Grundbuchblatter Diverse If Henry is in there, typically he would be in the records of men who served beginning in 1853. He may even have been involved in the war in Italy in 1859. You may find an earlier ancestor mentioned there. If you find any Wohlmann /Wohlman copy the record and then see what the place of birth for each is. Go to LDS website: FamilySearch.org Type both spellings of Wohlman (one at a time) in the surname search box on the home page and click search. Write to Alfred Piwonka and ask if the name Wohlman is found in the villages of the Bohemian forest. APiwonka@t-online.de Alfred is the coordinator for surnames in that area -- called a "Betreuer" Introduce yourself, let him know if you can read German even if you can't write it. Write in English but just ask simple one line questions...no compound sentences. >>Is anyone else researching Wohlman? Do a surname search at the LDS library catalog search page to find out if others have submitted research on the name. Karen
