Surnames: Hermsen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Gk.2ADI/37.39.1.1 Message Board Post: My apologies for being so slow to respond. I am not a descendant of the "Carroll County Hermsens" but our blood lines run through the same veins, I am sure. My great grandfather was Albert Hermsen and he seems to be a brother to a Herman Hermsen who settled at Carroll. A Margaret Webb of Wash state provided me with a lot of info and it goes back to 1753, I think. Where do you fit in? Kay (Hermsen) Holtz
