Hi, I just subscribe to Wigrant and want to say Hello from Germany. My family lives in Grambergen, parish of Schledehausen, county of Osnabrück in Lower Saxony for at least 400 years. The brother of my great-great-grandfather, named Christoph Heinrich Waldmann, emigrated to the United States in 1866 and settled in Stitzer, Grant County, in 1870. His wife Marie Elisabeth came from Haltern which belongs to the neighboring parish Belm. While doing family research I got to know that other people from this area settled in Grant County, too. I found Niemann (from Grambergen to Fennimore) and Wefel (from Krevinghausen to Stitzer). I'm interested in any information about emigrants from the parish of Schledehausen and the parish of Belm that settled in Grant County.
