Hallo Michael, I'm also from Hessen [Vogelsbergkreis] and could reply in German but in the interest of our forum members I'm answering in English. Do you have the DOBs of any of the immigrants and if not, can you at least give us the names of the grown children who accompanied their parents? There are HERMAN/HERRMAN/HERRIMANs in different counties in Michigan, making it virtually impossible to determine whether they are children of the immigrants or separate families from other parts in Germany. Unfortunately, their place of origin is only given as "Germany" instead of Hessen-D, so you see it would help a great deal if I knew the names of the children. Ursula from Michigan [ehem. Kr Lauterbach]. ____________________________________________________ There'll come a time, when you'll have no more time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timmy" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 9:54:31 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [G-P-L] HERRMANN family immigration 1872 Hello! my name is Michael from Kirtorf/Hessen in Germany I'm searching for relatives, which have ancestors with the surname "HERRMANN" , also written "HERMANN" John Theodore Herrmann (he was the head of the family, that immigrated to the USA) born as Johann Theodor Herrmann, son of Johann Jost Herrmann in Bernsburg near my hometown Kirtorf in the former 'Grossherzogtum Hessen-Darmstadt' he was married with Katharina Dorothea Krieger, she had 1 brother Johannes, 1 sister Maria Katharina, who was married with Konrad Jakoby, my great-great-grandfather, 1 sister Elisabeth and 1 brother Heinrich Krieger, married with Karoline Zulauf, this couple also went into the USA John T.
