This is my periodic search for new members of the list or those who missed my query for information on descendants of my g-g-g-grandfather: Hans Jakob (John J,) Straumann, b.1776 in CHE his son Johann Jakob (John J.), b.1800 " and his daughter Maria (Marie), b.1806 " They landed together in Baltimore MD during September of 1824, emigrating from Bretzwil,Baselland,Switzerland. ( I'm a descendant of Heinrich Straumann,b.1802, brother to above Johann Jakob. He remained in Bretzwil with his other siblings.) Has anybody come across this family ? I would greatly appreciate any response.
