Looking for infomation about my g-grandfather Louis Bollmeyer (Bollmeier) settled in Hardin Mo. (Ray ) county crooked river township .I found His name in the 1900's census with the spelling Bollmeier. After he moved his family after the flood in the early 1900's to Lafayette County (Aullville) Higginsvile area. Any information would be helpful. His great-grandson Larry Bollmeyer. Lexington, Mo.

I have some Bollmeyer's in the church record book for Trinity Lutheran Church in Norborne. Maybe there is a connection. Karl Ludwig Bollmeyer b. 10 Jan 1889 baptized 6 Feb 1889 son of Louis Bollmeyer and Anna Wolf Bollmeyer Witnesses were Karl Mueller and Ludwig Wolf Friedrich Wilhem Bollmeyer b. 8 Sept. 1890 baptized 23 Nov. 1890 son of Louis Bollmeyer and Anna Wolf Bollmeyer Witnesses were: Friedrich Wolf and Wilhem Strathmann Ida Maria Helena Bollmeyer b. 22 Apr. 1893 baptized 11 June 1893 daughter of Louis Bollmeyer and Anna Wolf Bollmeyer Witnesses were: Maria Wolf and Helena Heinrich Hermann Karl Bollmeyer b. 17 Sept. 1895 baptized 10 Nov. 1895 son of Luis Bollmeyer and Anna Wolf Bollmeyer Witnesses were: Heinr. Bollmeyer (something in German is written beside this name, perhaps it means absent) it looks to be Chas. Wolf and Herm. Noelker auswaerts Wilhelmine Mathilde Friederike Bollmeyer b. 14 Mar. 1899 baptized 11 June 1899 daughter of Luis Bollmeyer and Anna Wolf Bollmeyer Witnesses were: Minna Bollmeyer, Mathilde Knackstedt, (abrv? Paten?) Friederike Beckemeier, Elise Stoffregen There isn't any record of Louis (or Luis) and Anna being members of the church. They were not recorded in the marriages and were never recorded as taking communion with the church. There are some church minutes that might hold some more info. I will try to look through them in the near future. One interesting note is that there were several Wolf family members that were very active in the church for many years. Maybe this Anna Wolf was a relative of these Wolf's but her husband for whatever reason never joined the church or move his membership to this congregation. There were several German Lutheran families that lived near Hardin in the late 1800's, most of them bordering on the Ray- Carroll county line. A few still live in the area. I hope this helps.
