BOHLEIN Johannes / KUHNLEIN Kunigunde; BAY,DEU > MD,USA; 1855-1858 BÖHLEIN Johannes / KÜHNLEIN Kunigunde; BAY,DEU > MD,USA; 1855-1858 I had to take the umlauts out of the subject to get this to go, but finally here is my story.. After piecing together information from baptismal records, Johannes and Kunigunde appear to be my Great-Great Grandparents. I gathered my information from the records at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Baltimore. The church opened to serve German immigrants in 1858 and their records are available at the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. What is interesting is that Johannes was one of five Böhnleins from Weigendorf, Bayern. I took a shot at the 1855 date, the first Böhnlein was baptized at Holy Cross in January 1859. Here the other Böhnlein's and their wives. I have a some of the wives cities of origin. Vitus Böhnlein - Kunigunde Eichorn, Brutengiessbach, Bayern Pancratius Böhnlein - Barbara Lochner, Baunoch, Bayern Johannes Böhnelin - Kunigunde Haffner Johannes Böhnlein - Kunigunde Kühnlein, Sinhut (sp?), Bayern Joseph Böhnlein - Barbara Loch I have much information regarding all the kids born to these five. I believe they were all related because they were naming their kids after one another. I am trying to find when they immigrated from Germany, and any information that would accompany those records. Also anyone interested in these name please feel free to contact me. Here in the Baltimore area, the name was changed from Böhnlein to Bahnlein. I know that in the US there are those who changed to Bohnlein or Boehnlein. I cannot trace the 20 or so children born to these five. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
