Don't know if th;is will help people searching in Germany, but I am researching in East Prussia the name Plohmann. In searching the Mormon's IGI, there are many PLAUMANN's listed. I looked up "plow" in the French-English Dictionary, and it shows "PLAU" - so these people could have been Huguenots who fled to East Prussia. Plohmann in low German (near the Baltic) means "Plowman, either one who plows or makes plows. It is interesting to see the priest's or minister's definition of the name, because some children are christened as "Plomann" Or "Plohmann", while the father's name is listed as "Plaumann". And in some families, the first two children are christened as "Plomann", and the rest as "Plaumann", I guess depending if there was a new minister who arrived after the first two were christened. I am only interested in this one name, Plohmann, but I imagine if other people put their names into the search engine of the Mormons, they would get variant spellings of their name. The address is: www.familysearch.org , and when the first page comes up, click on "SEARCH' - a form will come up, and you type in the last name only, no countries or anything else. Click on search and you should get some, if not a lot. If you don't want all the given names, then when you type in the last name, also type in the first name you are interested in, and it will list everyone that is on file, that has the name you indicated.
