My g.grandfather was Johann Joachim Carl LANGE b. 1821 in Wolmirstedt to Johann Andreas LANGE and Catharina Caroline BONDICK. He had a sister Catharina Caroline b. 1809, brothers Friedrich Nicolaus b. 1811, Johann George b. 1814, Johann Jacob Adam b. 1816-d. 1831, Johann Andreas Christop b. 1819, Johann Friedrich Heinrich b. 1823 married Maria Dorothea Hasenkrug, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm b. 1826 m. Magdalene Charlotte Losche and Joachim Christoph August b. 1833-d. 1843 all in Wolmirstedt. My g.grandfather emigrated to US in 1868 with wife Caroline HEMSTEDT and their 5 children.

Christopher Johann Heinrich Brunhoeber (April 05, 1842-July 01, 1881) married Anna Magdeline E. Niebuhr about 1855 in the Kingdom of Hanover Germany.  They had 7 children.
 Anna Magdelene M. Brunhoeber, Catherine Dortha Brunhoeber, Johann Heinrich Peter Brunhoeber, Juergen Heinrich Christoph Brunhoeber, Fritz Frederick Brunhoeber, George H. L. Brunhoeber and a male infant that died shortly after birth.
 After their father's death it is known that eventually all the children and their respective spouses immigrated to the United States between 1882-1892.  Only Fritz Frederick is unaccounted for.
 Magdeline (Lena) immigrated on the passenger ship, SS Suevia.  The records list Lena as a 50 year of female, occupation mother.  Last residence was Betzendorf (Betzendorf is a municipality in the district of Lüneburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany).  The ship originated in Hanover with ports in Hamburg and Havre, France.  Name was spelled Bruhnhober on the manifest.  She traveled with her son Christopher and George both listed as farmers from Balzendorf which is obviously a mis-transcription.  They arrived in the port of New York on October 27th 1884.
 Most of the Brunhoebers settled in Nebraska and then onto Kansas.  Alternative spelling of the last name is Brunhober.  The umlaut was never used in the States.

My family is Jewish and we are very interested to find out about our relatives that died in the Holocaust during the Second World War.
My father did not speak about his life in Berlin before the war. He and his sister died a long time ago.
My grandfather's name is Artur (Avraham?) Heidemann. His date of birth is either 29 June 1891 or 26 June 1891. I am not sure if he was born in Berlin or Frankfurt.
All the Heidemann's lived in Berlin - although I don't know.  My Father Herman Georg and Grandparents lived in Berlin.
My father was born 12 October 1917. His sister Zelma was born on 7 April 1915/1916.
I know that Artor Heideman and Zelma Left Berlin in 1933 and lived in Holland. My father joined them later.
 Artor got married again in Holland to a Dutch lady, they had a little girl Yeti. She was born sometime in 1936. My mother thinks the new wife was a nurse.
I think they died in Suobibiar camp in 1943. I don't even know where is this place was?
Artor died in Auschwitz in 1943. There was some talk that maybe he was a Capo in Auschwitz - I am not sure.
Artore Heidemann's first wife died when Herman Georg was seven years old. So I believe maybe there will be a grave in a cemetery in Berlin but cannot be sure.
I heard the name Bauke before but can not be sure.
All the names I have written in this email are NOT the right spelling. As I only found out this month that my father's surname is spelt with two NN at the end. I very much hope you can help me with the German or with information.

My Grandmother's ancestors were BALLIN, KRUEGER, KERSTEN, TIMME, HIEPE, HONIGMANN, ROVENHAGEN, RHENIUS. I have piles of information, and am looking for more. These families come from the Mansfeld area, particularly Eisleben, Hettstedt, Grossoerner, Meisberg, and Frankfurt am Main during the periods of the 1600s-1900s. Some may still reside there. Some of the Kruegers have immigrated to New York state and have moved on from there.

My father's ancestor's were Paul Fredrich Wilhelm Koch, born 21 Nov 1872 in Weissenfels, Germany (died 6 Jan 1955 in Weissenfels).  He was an apotheker and owned the Neustadt drugstore in Weissenfels.  He married Helene Joanna Otto, born 21 March 1882 in Greiz, died 12 Jan 1960 in Weissenfels.  They had a son, Wilhelm, born 21 Jan 1904, died 27 Mar 1955 in Leipzig, who married Gerda Dietrich, born 23 June 1913, and Wilhelm and Gerda had twins, Ingeborg and Dietrich, born 5 April 1937 in Weissenfels.

Karl Schramm, mechanical engineer, his father was a constructor of mills, was born in 1841 in Rosslau. When he was 25 he married Sophie Lüdicke, daughter of a singer from Törten.
They had 5 children: Bertha, Otto, Paul, Wilhelm and Emilie.
In 1878. Karll got the position of the "machine master" at the waterworks in Dessau, and the family moved.
They lived in a house next to the plant and the river Mulde.
His son Otto came to Brasil in the turn of the century.
I would appreciate any other information related to the Schramms in Dessau, from Karl Schramm backwards.
Thank you for your attention.
