Surnames: Bauman(n), Usadel, Werner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2EC.2ACE/1561.1 Message Board Post: Although this is an old message (I just started this), Edwin was my uncle. I have collected a great deal of information on the Usadel side of the family. Edwin's father's name was actually Franz. Stories have it that Edwin's Great Grandfather, Friederick Baumann"divorsed his wife Wilhelmine (Werner). According to the 1870 census, Frederick(age 30) and Wilhelmine(age 22) had Franz (age 9/10). In the 1881 Census, he now was married to Minna (have not been able to find a marrage license) and they had Franz, Emma, Robert and Huldina. Also had grandmother Werner living with them. Would love to find out more about this story.
