I'm looking for the surname of Schmadeke from Hannover, Germany. Has anyone come across that name? And also Grosskopf from possibly the same area.

I'm researching the surnames of ROMBACH and LULLEY (or LULY/LULEY) from Baden. They settled in Allegheny County/ Pittsburgh, PA, probably in the 1840's. Any info would be much appreciated!

I am researching the following surnames from Germany: HAMMER, GERBER, MADLUNG in the Wuettenburg area and also Bremen. My ancestors came here in the early 1850s but other than that I am at a loss. My ggrandfather's name is Frederick Hammer.

Researching WAX, KLOTZ, SCHWARZ, SCHILLING, RINGLER in Tuttlingen area of B-W. I will be visiting Germany in two weeks. Am interested in making contact with others familiar with the area or with interest in same names. I am also researching OVERWATER who may have emigrated to US from Oldenberg in mid-19th X. Also looking for Barbara, Mary, and Jacob Morgenstern, siblings who left Bayern for US about 1845 and located in Illinois.

These are following places I am researching:

Neckargartach
Grossgartach
Heilbronn
Heuchelheim
Montabaur
Greuthof
Löwenstein
Cleebronn
Unteröwisheim
Oberöwisheim
Untereisesheim

Most of the lines I go back to 1600's

The only one I am having problem are the Helbig which they came from Kleinlauersitz (which is the German town name) and it is now in Poland under another name.

If you click on the "view all" under the members' photos (right next this box where you type) you can type in her name and find her. I did that already .. I can forward what you said to her (-:

G-G grandfather, Wilhelm KLINGNER was born on 27 Mar 1827 in Limbach, Sachsen, Hanover, Germany. He emigrated to New York City on 28 Sep 1854 with his wife Augusta (nee Demler?) and landed 1 Aug 1854. I have tracked him until his death on 1 Mar 1908. But, I have not been able to find birth or marriage record. Also, there seems to be several places now named Limbach.
Other surnames researching are RUHL, WAGNER and SCHMIDT but do not know where in Germany. They also came to New York City in the 1850"s and settled there in the Bronx.
