It was interesting to see this query as I,also, have a Frank who's been pretty interesting tracking. The IGI lists him as F.J. THAMM born Wormditt 25 Feb. 1849. However, he "went by" Waldemar and was listed on death certificate & buried as Waldemar F.J. and was listed in the records I've found as Frank! Quite a difference in names there, I'm still going thru Wormditt church records to verify names etc. These ancestorsa can sure be illusive, you really have to be creative sometimes in looking for them.
