When you begin to find more discoveries about your ancestors, there's more mysteries to be learned! Never ending, that's what I like about genealogy! <G> Share your thoughts, --Manaia T Holcomb <tagh@shawneelink.net> wrote: Hi All, My ancestors are Matthew Harmon also spelled Herman & Herrmann. On the LDS website I found he was born Sept 29, 1835. Place Katholisch, Herxheim Landau, Pfalz Bayern. His father is listed as Georgii Petri Herrmann and mother is Apolloniae Heider. Matthew was also listed as Mathaeus Herrmann. He married Mary Bullinger in 1856, Germany, on his Civil War papers I got from Nara. Can't read the place and have had several people try, but to no luck. Do not know who her parents were. Does he have any siblings? I have been told that 2 brothers followed him over here, but who were they? Mat changed the spelling when he came to the US, but on his death cert his wife spelled it Herman. They came to the US in 1858. I think I found them FINALLY on a ship list, but not sure. There is a Math Herrmann who arrive in the US from Le Havre, France in 1858, July 6. Age 25 from Germany. Just above his name is Mary Bellinger age 24 from Germany. Also a Martin Bellinger age 30 and another Martin Bellinger age 59. My question is, would Mary have used her maiden name even though they were married 2 years before they came to the US? Also would/could that be her father and brother with them? The ships name is New Orleans and arrived in NY, July 6, 1858. Thank you very much for any info, Teresa G. Holcomb --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
