Hello Charlotte, Maybe the following information will help you decide whether the KUMMANs buried in the Bergen St. Cemetery were relatives of your KUHMANNs. In my files I have this marriage: 25 May 1892 at St. Augustine's RC Church in Newark Frederick Joseph LUCKING, son of Jos. Lucking & Wilhelmine Fritze; b. 12 Apr 1870; "Coalyardbesitzer" and Julia KUMANN, daughter of John Kumann, Baden & Stephanie Staudt.; b. 10 Nov 1872. Julia's family was counted in the 1880 Census in Newark: John Kuman [sic], 59, Germany, taylor wife Stefanie, 52, Germany, keeping house dau Stefanie, 17, NJ, keeps house dau Louise, 13, NJ, at school dau Julia, 11, NJ, at school dau Tilly, 8, NJ, at school son John, 20, NJ, Japaner The marriage record says that John KUMAN was from Baden. This is the extent of the information I have on this family. Do you know where Edward KUHMANN was from, or when he was born? If from Baden, that lead would be worth following up. It looks like the KUMMANs buried at that Bergen St. cemetery are from the family in the 1880 Census. I'd be interested in whatever you can tell me about the Old German Cemetery Records at the NJHS. Just where was this cemetery? How long was it in use? Was it affiliated with a church? Have the records been published?
