Posted on: Niagara Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Niagara/285 Surname: Basenberg, Bosenberg, Besenberg ------------------------- I'm looking for information about my family that migrated from Germany to Niagara Co., NY, to Alabama. My grandfather (Martin Basenberg) was born in Niagara Co. in 1872, just before his parents moved to Alabama. His father was John Henry Basenberg (b. Jan 30, 1830 Germany, d. Apr 13, 1893 AL) & John Henry Basenberg's father was William Henry Basenberg (b. 1804 in Germany, d. Oct 14, 1867 in Shawnee, Niagara Co., NY). I was told by one family member that William Henry & his wife Dorothea are buried in the Wheatfield Cemetery in Shawnee, but that their name is spelled Besenberg on their tombstone. Any info re this family would be appreciated.
