This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Homrighausen, Homrig, Homrighouse, etc. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Qk.2ADI/1609.1610.1624.1 Message Board Post: Because this is slightly off thread, I tried to send this message via e-mail --- but it was bounced back by AOL: "mailbox not found". So instead I post it here: <<I note with interest that you are related to Homrighausens of Big Rock, Iowa. My grandmother's maiden name was Homrig (shortened a few generations before from Homrighausen), and though she and her people came from Wisconsin, they did have Homrig relatives in Iowa, I believe. I also believe that Homrighausen is an unusual enough name that it must be possible, with some effort, to compile a family tree of the Homrighausens of America (including all variants such as Homrighouse, Homrig, Humrighousen, etc.). To that end, I have been collecting genealogical information. Unfortunately, I have only scratched the surface --- and I am constantly being distracted by other business. Nevertheless, I would be glad to discover what you might know about Iowa (or other) Homrighausens, and would be more that glad to share what info I have on Homrig(hausens) of Wisconsin (and elsewhere).>>
