Hi, I'm new to the list. My ggrandfather August Ramthun and his brother Fred Ramthun were new immigrants when they came to the Lindenwood area of Ogle County in 1864. They came from the Prussian Province of Pomerania. I believe that these families came from the same village (Coldemanz) and so I search for descendants of these people as well. Broitzman, Lembke, Wendt, and Bischoff were some of the names from the church in Pomerania and also in the Lutheran church that they formed in Lindenwood. I would very much like to exchange information for any descendants of these families. Gary Ramthun Aurora, CO
