They had 6 children, all born in Pommern, their years of birth range from abt 1851 to 1863. In 1882 the oldest son m in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This family settled in Milwaukee & the 6 children all married there. The name was spelled Baerbaum in church records. Could there possibly be a connection? Marcie
