Hi all. I just recenlty acquired a family bible which apparently belonged to Wilhelm Schumann, born 1841, and his wife, Maria. In the ancestry family trees I see this Wilhelm listed as William. The bible lists him as Wilhelm. This is a German bible. The names and birth dates of Wilhelm, his wife, and their children are recorded inbetween the old and new testaments. There is also an old letter that was in the bible, which is written in German. This family lived in Dane Co., WI., in Berry. Children of Wilhelm and Maria (all apparently born in Dane Co., WI) were: Ida L. 1868 Oscar C. 1870 Wilhelm F. 1874 Oauline E. 1876 Louise E. 1875 Julius E. 1880 Alma K. 1883 Emma C. 1885 According to another piece of paper with written family info, that was in the bible, there was also a child, Bertha, that had apparently died young. Info I have found on the net indicates that Wilhelm was the son of Christian Schumann, who was born about 1800. Is there anyone here who is connected to this family? Rex Bertram 132 S.
