Surnames: Thumma / Wolf Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JaB.2ACE/3555 Message Board Post: For years I have walked past the grave of John P. Thumma at the Rehobeth Cemtary near Walnut Bottom, Cumberland Co, PA thinking that the Thumma in the grave was probably some how related, but never thinking he was my Gr Gr Grandfather. After requesting military records, I found out very quickly that he was my Gr Gr Grandfather. He married, Susan Wolf - daugher of Joseph and Elizabeth Wolf - had two sons, served in the Civil War and died when the boys were not very old. He is last seen in the 1880 Census as Thummy. Of course without the 1890 I have no idea where Susan and the boys went. Do later find the boys with families, but would like to find out what happened to Susan. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks: There was in fact an 1890 Census. But... this census was only for the surviving Civil War soldiers and their spouses. Seeing that John was in the Civil War.... you may be able to find Susan listed as a surviving spouse. If she remarried, you may also find her by using her husband's Company and Regiment.
