Hello, My second genealogy book has gone to the publisher! The Lauer, Borgmeier, Bauer Families and the MacCubbins traces these families from Germany to Baltimore, Maryland during the years 1650 to present. This book traces the ancestry of William Edward Lauer back to his 5th great grandfather, Nicolaus Lauer, born about 1665 in Stürzenhard, Germany. Nicolaus was great grandfather of Simon Lauer, who immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1852. The Borgmeier, BAUER, and Würz families are also documented back to their German homeland. The MacCubbin family is followed from the immigrant, John MacCubbin, through his son, William, to Mary Susanna MacCubbin Lauer The KISER’s start with Sebastian and Maria Kiser who had the following child: Sebastian Kiser was born in 1679 This family lived in the Neckar Valley of Germany in and around Neckargerach. They married in the Herchardt and Veith families. I do not follow this family later than 1730 in Germany. For more information, please contact me directly at nanlauer@comcast.net. Thanks, Nancy Waters Lauer
