I hate to bother you but I need to know something. I know very little about that side of my family! I was told that the Bumbaugh name (my grandfather was Charles Bumbaugh) was changed from Baumbach to Bumbaugh! Do you know anything about this? I can’t afford to go on a site that I can find this but I thought you probably could. I used to ask that side of my family questions but to no avail! They lived in Mont Alto Pennsylvania and I was raised by my Granny Wilson in Fyffe, Alabama from the time my mother died (I was 9 and my sister was 7). I never knew any of my Bumbaugh family except my immediate family. If you don’t want to do this or don’t have the time I understand. If you can and don’t mind, thank you! I was raised in Alabama but I live in Nashville now near my daughter! God bless you!

Hello William, I would be so grateful to know if there is any further reunions for Baumbach’s.  Planned in the near future, especially ventured around the Castle. 

I am trying to find the history of my family.  My father Horst Baumbach is from Germany, Thuringen, He was born in 1936.  He is now 84, but came to England with his younger brother in the early 1950’s   His profession has been a glassblower. 

Many years ago,  American Baumbach’s got in touch with our family, to see if we were related, but we didn’t know. 

We would love to visit to find out. 
Kindest regards

My Name is Samuel (22 y/o) and I am from Switzerland. My Grandfather was from Germany and immigrated to Switzerland somewhen after the war. His Brother went to Australia and founded his own family there.

I found your website because I wanted to register the Domain :P
Obviously you are not selling the domain, yet would it be possible to have an email adress? currently I'm owning baumbach.email which is alright.

I like what you have been putting on there. And was wondering where you are from and your close relatives? :)

I am Kathy Bumbaugh Taylor from the USA.  I was raised by my Granny Wilson, who was my Mother's mother.  I have never known much about the Bumbaugh side of my family. When I've  ever asked any of them questions the never had answers.  I am thinking they may have been a Baumbach in Germany and changed it to Bumbaugh when they moved to USA.  When I looked up  Bumbaugh it gave me that info.  I'm 71 and and am very confused about a lot of things.  Do you have any idea if I could have come from the Baumbach family?  My grandfather's name was Charles Edward  Bumbaugh.  My grandmother was Anna Rakus Bumbaugh.  My daddy's name was Earl Edward Bumbaugh.  He was born between 1910 and 1915.  If you could help me I would really appreciate it.  And, if it's OK I would like to have you as a friend on Facebook!  Thanks so much for any info you can help me with.

Hello William,

I hope this e-mail finds you well and in good spirits.

Recently I started finding out about my family history.  Ancestry.com has become addictive and I have gathered so much information, including that I am a Baumbach on my father’s side.  My father is James A. Stroup, his mother was Laura Allene Heintschel, her mother was Amalie (sp?) Isolde Baumbach from Texas. Her father was one of the 2 brothers that came to this country at the end of the 19th century.

I was surprised to learn that there was still a family home in Germany.  I was on vacation in Germany in 1997, in the Rhine River Valley, and had no clue that the homestead was even there, let alone close to where we were staying. 

I guess what I’m getting around to is, I’d like to know more about the families history, who is in our family now, and I’d like to get to know who you are.  Any information about the family would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this e-mail

P.S.

Subject: The Baumbach Dawson Connection

William, Here is what I know about the Baumbachs that are involved with my family. 

My great grandfather Humphrey Dawson died in 1928 at an early age, and my great grandmother Blanche ended up remarrying a man named George L Baumbach in the early 1930's. My grandfather and his six siblings grew up with George as their stepdad. My great grandmother and George Baumbach had two kids together, Betty Price in the 1940's and Blanche Marie in the 1930's. On the 1940 Census, my grandfathers family and Blanche Marie are living with George L still, but no mention of a George L JR...but I can find mention of a George L Jr born in 1933 and living in Alexandria, but have not yet tied the two together yet. His info is below, tho he looks to have passed. Searching the current land records its still owned by him and his wife, Gladys L, who I assume is still alive and living there. I feel like there has to be a connection. Coincidentally my grandfathers remarried widow lives next door - I have only spoken to her once, and did not ask about the Baumbach connection, but I will. 

GEORGE L BAUMBACH 1603 Shenandoah Road Alexandria, VA

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=34118219

I also know that the earlier George L Baumbachs parents were Roy (1886 - ?) and Mabel (1888 - ?). George had the following siblings as of the 1920 census (Roy Jr, Helen, Leslie and Lucy). I have not tried tracking any of them beyond this.  

That's all I have for now - will let you know if I figure anything else out.

Dear William,

First of all please excuse me for my english.-

Second, I don’t know if we are related because my last name is BAMBACH.- Perhaps in the past both are the same.-

Like you, also I traying to find some date or other information from my grand grand grand father.-

Following the few information that I can get.-

If you can help me I really appreciated.-

PATERNAL FAMILY NAME ORIGIN BAMBACH

Guillermo Bambach von Hayde born in Leipzig, Prussia, son of military graduation, he served the Empire, he married Ms. Julia Elena Hirtz, wealthy owner of Hanover, I saw the pictures of the mansion they had. There they settled after their marriage where my grandfather was born Bernardo Bambach, who then married my grandmother Matilde San Martín Fajardo Hawes.

His arrival in Chile (Concepción) was generated because the Imperial Government honored him with the appointment of Consul General, a position which it had diplomatic representation because at that time had no ambassadors.

Left diplomacy, where he settled in Tomé had their properties and Coelemu. In one of his trips to Hannover brought a full house that was build in the park at his residence. Now everything is destroyed, I could only see the view that had the house and park with the sea at their feet. He lived and died happy there making a good fortune. My father Samuel Hawes Bambach and his nine brothers each received: $ 40,000 Gold 48 pen.

Step Hawes family: my grandmother's parents were Don Moses Matilda Hawes Hawes and Matilde San Martín Fajardo, distinguished from Basque family, she passed away in USA and Don Moses married the daughter of Mrs. Jenny Rosenkrans general who took part active in the war of secession. She was very wealthy co-owner of a bank in Boston, where Moses was president until his death.-

Bambach Samuel Hawes died at age 47 on September 23, 1911, was a lawyer of the most important companies in Concepción and Talcahuano. He was a deputy for two terms, minister of war, national defense today in the short period of presidency of Pedro Montt, his friend was a member of the Club of the Union .-

Anna Kirchler, who remained in germany whilst all her siblings dispersed over the world, married a Baumbach, name unknown. She had at least two sons, Georg and Kurt. Georg served in the German Navy and died in 1964. Kurt Baumbach inherited his mother's grocery/ dairy when his mother died in 1959, probably at Wilhelmstrasse 16, Apolde, and was still alive in 1965. He married in 1930, his wife's name may have been Helene. His wife died 1962 and he remarried. He had a daughter Rathe(?), a son Rudolf, and a daughter Christa, all born in the 1930s Would love to hear from any current descendants

Hello William:  It was good to hear from you regarding some of the Baumbach family.  Since I wrote to you, my sister and I did a road trip to the area where most of my great grandfather's family was buried.  We found a lot of the graves including grandpa George's & his wife Anna's.  Also found was the one we think was Uncle Henry's wife-Matha's grave.  I took pictures of all of them.  George's date of death was 1923.  He was born in 1851.  Anna was born 1860 & died in 1826.  Matha was born 7-26-1826 & died 9-11-1900.  At present, I don't have all of the pictures developed, but when I get them, I will send
them to you along with the dates of births & deaths & where they are buried shortly.  It was very

Hi William:
I came across the Baumbach emails and some of them were very interesting and from my relation. My great-great grandfather was Guido. My great grandfather was George and his son Otto is my grandfather. I was one of the grandchildren that lived with Otto & Margaret(Oliver). I attended the last Baumbach reunion in St. Charles, MN this past summer. There was a picture board there with all of Guido's sons listed with birthdates & death dates. They listed William-1882-1939, Rueben-1899-1990, Robert 1899-1950, Julian 1891-1932, George 1884-1960, Oscar-1892-1965, & Elmer 1890-1931. I am not sure of these dates and I know that George couldn't have been born in 1884 as Otto was born in 1898 which would have made him 14. Grandpa was one of the younger ones in his family. The older ones were Ida, Minnie, Emma, & Ed. Herman & Martha were younger. Would you have the correct dates of George's birth & death. I know that if George would have still been alive in 1960, we would have visited him and we never did. We did go to all of Grandpa Otto's family and a lot of the kids are the same age as myself. The board for the reunion was done by Rueben's family & I know that on the roster of the Norwalk, WI cemetary, there is a George listed for 1884-1960. I would be glad to mail you a copy of the picture board if you would like it for more of your research. I know that several of my cousins or niece have written an email to you.

Subject: Information on the Baumbach Family
William,
I am a descendant of the Baumbach brothers Henry, Sr and Guido. My information says they were twin brothers born in Stadt. Weimar, Saxony, Germany. They emigrated to the United States in August of 1844 and eventually landed in Philadelphia, PA. They joined the Forpaugh and Sells Circus band and travelled in that area. They met and married the Katzman sisters Catherine and Dorothea.They moved to Middletow, PA and settled there for a while. In 1966 Henry, Sr moved to Farmers Valley, WI and began farming with his wife Catherine and children Guido, John, George, Henry, JR, William and Albert. George married Delia Schmaltz and had seven children. One of these childen was Otto Baumbach, my grandfather. He met Margaret Oliver and married her. They moved to Marshfield, WI and setled on a farm there. They had four children, Keith (died at birth), Marjorie (deceased) Eileeen, my mother (also deceased) and Joyce. Guido, Henry, Sr's twin brother settled in the East. I do not have much information on that part of the family and wonder if you are descended from that branch of the family.

Questions:
Do we share a common lineage?
Does this trace back to the Baumbach family which had the castle in Germany?

I also have a note about a descendant of Guido named Charles Baumbach who was an orchestra director and the orchestra played at Abraham Linoln's Inaugural Ball. Can you confirm?
Can you share any additional information or confirm my information as somewhat correct? Would also appreciate any answers to my questions.
Thank you.

Subject: Bumbaugh (Baumbach) of Pennsylvania, USA

Hello William and Friedrich:

I came across your Baumbach website this weekend as I was making preparations for a family reunion in June for my immediate family in Fayetteville (named after LaFayette), Pennsylvania.

My father's name is James William Bumbaugh from Franklin Co., PA. I believe we may be descended from a branch of the family that left Germany and arrived in America about 1740.

I would like to communicate with any Baumbach's that may have the information on the German side for the family (Gorg arrived 1740, Johannes came a short time later)

I believe my father's line can possibly be traced back to Johannes, but am not certain since I am lacking certain details. Johannes came from Mimbach, Germany and had at least two sons, John and George.

I am told that the name Bombach was anglesized to Bombaugh, Baumbaugh, Bumback, and Bumbach.

My grandfather, David Edgar Bumbaugh spoke German fluently (he learned it at home). He served in the US Army in the invasion of Normandy in WWII.

I am trying to place the pieces of the puzzle together for the Bumbaugh family history. One of my questions is why did the ancestors leave Germany in the 1700's?

I would like to be in correspondence with any interested parties and would appreciate hearing from anyone with further input into my history puzzle.

Thank you for the informative Baumbach website. I am looking forward to learning more about the reconstruction efforts of the castle in Germany. My brother, Chris Michael Bumbaugh would be of great help to my German relatives-he is excellent with construction projects.

Please do drop me a line from whatever corners of the world-I would love to hear from my Baumbach relatives.

Dear Mr. Baumbach,

I am a close neighbor to you in Knoxville, Md., and also a Baumbach descendent, from those still in Germany.

My name is Linda Maria Holdcroft, and my mother was an immigrant from Fulda, Germany, following WWII. Her maiden name was Luzia Elisabeth Roeder, born in Wurburg, 1922. My grandmother’s maiden name (but I believe first marriage name) was Anna Baumbach. There was also an “aunt”, Maria Baumbach (I believe the sister of my mother’s biological father). My mother grew up in Fulda with her sister Ingeborg, who is also an immigrant to the U.S. My mother’s birth certificate is of a later issue from Berlin, dated 1952, and has Anna Baumbach as mother and Valentine Roeder as her father( he was deceased by 1952). The interesting thing is that my grandmother didn’t marry Valentine until my mother was already five (1927). Then, a year after Anna’s and Valentine’s marriage, my Aunt Inge was born.

My mother recently passed away, and I have come upon many letters, postcards, pictures etc. dating back to the 1930’s, and much earlier. It has sparked an interest to do some family research. Strangely, I have always questioned the relation of my mother and aunt, thinking they weren’t really sisters because other than their last name they have absolutely nothing similar, i.e. appearance, personality, behavior. I had even posed this question but my mother and aunt always remained a bit secretive and vague, which of course nurtures curiosity. My aunt is still alive and closeby but is only willing to share bits and pieces of their story.

I’ve located you from your website, but I’m not sure how familiar you would be with the Baumbach’s still in Germany. Fulda is close to the
area of the Baumbach Castle, so I think there may be some connection. I believe that my mother’s “aunt”, Maria Baumbach, born in Fulda, 1881 is a key piece in my family puzzle.

My family and I are planning a trip to Germany and will be visiting Fulda and Wurzburg this spring. I intend to go to the public records offices and research birth, death, and marriage information. I wondered if you had done any such research on your visits and could offer any recommendations? Also, if the names of Anna or Maria Baumbach, or other Baumbach’s from Fulda had surfaced in your searches.

Unfortunately, I do not speak fluent German, so my task will be more challenging. Any advice for my research while in Germany would be appreciated since my time is limited. My email address is speedofish@aol.com .

Sincerely,
Mrs. Linda Holdcroft

Hello William :
Some time ago I wrote in the Baumbach webpage I live in Mexico in
Guadalajara, my grandfather from my mother side came from Germany before
1900 and established first in Tabasco he was from Marburg, his name was
Rufolf Baumbach Rickert as I know .. Could we be related? My grandfather had a ring with a 1/4 moon like a smile and two stars in each end of that moon, my older cousin has the ring as he is the closest direct relative. I will send you scanned a drawing that my brother made of that ring.

Right now I sent papers to the Germany embassy to get also the german nationality since my grandfather from father side was also German his name was Heinric Schondube and my father was born in Mexico in 1900. I am 57 years old and born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Best regards

Somehow your message to Mark Gilbert got sent to me, my name is Karen (Ward) Kraakevik and I do believe that we may be related. My grandmother is Patricia Baumbach Ingram, we live in oklahoma but originally my grandma is from PA. I thought she had told me that her mother's name was Helen and I think she told me that one of her brothers names is William, I don't know if you are the same person. But she told me that some of her siblings actually do go over to Germany every other year to the castle and she showed me some pics & video of some of the family visiting over there. Anyway hope all is well and I think its great that you have this family's site.
Take Care,

I am fascinated by your website.  I had no idea there were so many Baumbachs out there.  My name is Kevin Baumbach (born in 1981) and I have always been interested in learning a little more about my family history.  I'm not sure about anything prior to my Grandfather.  His name is John (aka Jack) Baumbach and he was born in the mid-1920s in Laramie, WY.  He moved to Nebraska in the 1930s.  He settled in Portland in the 40s and started his family: Sharon, Kenneth John (aka Ken, my Dad - born in 1952), Joanne (married, now Mahoney), James (aka Jim), and William (aka Bill).  I am the youngest of three (Melissa - born 1978, Matthew - born 1980), and m Uncle Bill has one daughter (Sarah).

BAUMBACH:
Following received from the Parish Register of Webestedt (Kingdom of Saxony).... or Germany, they stated we are descended from Helmerich Baumbach 1330-1369, Lord of the Castle of Rothenburg on the Fulda River a few miles south of Kassel Hesse; the village is Nentershausen (below Tannenberg). Our branch is the "Reinhard" branch which is my grandfather's middle name.

They were reformed, Lutheran Hessian, original Nobility with the parent house of the same name in a village near Rothenburg on the Fulda River which is first documented with her degnus de Baumbach, Knight 66 in 1246 (records are in the state archives of Marburg cf also dr landuthe Hessian Knightly Castles and their owners Kassel 1836 and begins the family roots with Hemericus de Baumbach, Knight of the Castle in Rothenburg, 1295-1316. The descendants or issues belong to the old-Hessian Knighthood Coat-of-Arms, etc.

The family re-formed and a foundation was started in 1903. They are trying to hold annual reunions at the Kassel. www.baumbach.com
WW I and WWII, and Hitler controling Germany prevented a lot of contact between the family.

I had heard of this ancestor as a child.... we just didn't have the Parish Records then (post world war years).

I am trying to connect the links and go back and re-capture the dates to before the 1700s:

> George Christoph Baumbach born 10/26/1772 Weberstedt, Kingdom of Saxony
> Johann Georg Baumbach born 7/4/1803 Weberstedt, Kingdom of Saxony
> George Frederich Wilhelm Baumbach born 6/11/1834 in Webersted, Kingdom of Saxony
> William George Frederich born 11/26/1865 Stratford, Ontario, Canada
> Lorenz Reinhard Baumbach born 3/22/1900 in Nebraska

My grandmother was Esther Baumbach. Her mother was Margarete and I think her father was William. Sometime as a young man, her father walked from Canada to get to Nebraska. My great-grandmother Margarete died after childbirth (daughter also Margarete,) and my greatgrandfather remarried and they had more children. My grandmother had a sister named Clara and some brothers (one named Edwin) and Margarete and then some 1/2 sisters and brothers. (a half-sister named Thelma, I think.) She married Jake Breitling in Nebraska when she was 16. Her sister Clara, married August Breitling. Baumbach is an unusal name and I have very little in the way of family details other than my grandmother Esther, and her father were not close or friendly; and by all accounts, he was a very strange kind of person. Grandma talked alot but not much about her parents other than she really missed her Mother. Her childhood was very hard. I think she grew up in or around McCook, Nebraska and my mother was born there in 1931. Her name is Phyllis Breitling. I'd love to hear from anyone who might know about this branch of the Baumbachs.

I just found this Baumbach site and want to include my family information. My maiden name was Baumbaugh, but the original name from Germany was Baumbach. My gr-gr grandfather was Reinhardt Baumbach from Hesse, Darmstadt, Germany and he was a career Hessian soldier. He was born in 1828 and landed in America on May 27, 1861 having traveled from Bremen on the ship Terese landing in New York and then on to Johnstown, Pa. where he was guaranteed employment with the Emmerling Brewery. Traveling with him were his wife Anna and their children Friedrich, Heinrich, Cathrina, Elise, Anna and Philipp. He served in the Civil War having been paid by a doctor to take the doctor's place. He suffered an extensive injury and lived off a pension until his death on July 4, 1882 when he committed suicide. His name was changed from Baumbach to Baumbaugh after coming to America. I don't know anything about the family when they lived in Germany and would love to hear from anyone who could add to my family information. This a great site and I have enjoyed reading about the castle which I never knew existed and, also, everyone's comments.

Hello Bill, thanks for the return eMail. Will contact those in charge of the castle a little later this month. Needless to say, Beth is quite inthused !! Found the notes of Calla Baumbach Spencer ,my paternal grandmother, who was quite a record keeper. Evidently a left-over from her early "School Marm" vocation. I will try to write it as she has it down on paper..

Grandpa Baumbach's History

John Sebastian Baumbach was born at Hunfeld, Kurhessen, Gremany-January 20 1837.
His father was Henry Anthony Baumbach. His mother - Ursula (Gotterdam) Baumbach.
Eldest sister,- Hildegarde, marriedin Germany to Professor Wehner. Musician.
Eldest brother,- Dominick, Married in Germany
Second brother,- Barthelmew, married Lines in Brazil, South America. Had 8 children.
Secong sister,- Carolyn - married Emil Eberhardt. (Concert
singer). Lived in Texas. Had one son (died).
Third brother-Wendel - Batchelor. Died in Germany
Third sister-Emma - Married to Mr. Whippery. Lived in St. Louis Mo. Had 2 children.
Fourth sister,- Charlotte - Married Henry Beck. Lived in New York C. Had 3 children.
1. John S. Beck - San Jaun, Porto Rica.
2. Henry Beck, New York City, N.Y.
3. Florence Beck, " " "
Grandpa B - came to U.S.A. at 18 years of age. Married June 20, 1861. died April 4, (Easter Sunday)1915.

" " - Esther (Thayer) Stanford later married VonStager (D)
Her brother - Joseph Thayer - Had 3 boys

The above was written as close as I could to the spelling and format she had put down in an old spiral bound note book. The pages are all brittel and brown and are a bit hard to decipher as they were written with a real pen. They must be handled with great care as they will crumble to pieces.
There is more linage from there on down to the present available to you if you wish.
I also will send this to my cousin in Harrisburgh and Hal Baumbach who in an avid "Baumbach researcher". He may or may not be aware of the castle and this web site.
Warm family regards; David Spencer

Subject: Family history

William, I am impressed with your web site. Quite a feat to build, I'm sure....
I am David Spencer, geat grandson of Johan Sebastion Baumbach, born in Hunfeld, Hessen, Germany, circa 1850.
Hunfeld is about 15 kilimeters north east of Fulfa, just inside the border of west Germany. He came to the US in the 1860's I believe. Married Mary Eliza THAYER (see Thayer web site) They lived in Woodcock Twp, Crawford County, PA and was a cheese maker. Had a cheese factory there.
I have a picture of it and also a pic of him and his younger son, Charles Elton, working in it. His youngest daughter, Kitty Caroline (who became known as "Calla", went by that name, and is on her head-stone in Erie Cemetary), Graduated from Edinboro State Teacher's Collage, and taught school in the Union City area, Met Glenn Larue Spencer and wed on her parent's 50th aniversary, 1910.
Charles lived most of his life in UnionCity also, as he and his wife Ethel (Wellmon)are buried. Their children are all gone now, Ward (called Bud) being the last to go in Harrisburg Pa, but his youngest daughter, Kathleen Baumbach , and grand daughter, Briel, still live there.
Calla & Glenn had 2 siblings, Hugh Arlington and Norma Natola (who died in an automobile accident at age 16)
Well, there is some more history for you. Sorry I don't have my family linage book here accessibly or I could have given specific dates now. Contact me later and perhaps I can give you more. I do have info on the family Johan, his mother (Gotterdam) and his siblings.
NOTE: we, Beth and I, are going to Germany this spring, we will go to Hunfeld and nose around, and now that we have YOUR info, we will go to the castle.
Do we have any Baumbach family contacts in that area???
And whom do we contact about the castle???

 Hi, William (and Jennifer), I'm Jennifer's father, Larry Smith, the son of Mary Baumbach Smith, of Charlevoix, Michigan.  Her father, Rolland Baumbach, was born in the Grand Rapids Michigan area, called Berlin at the time and later changed to Marne, to one Friedrich Baumbach, who immigrated to America with a brother some time in the 1860s. I have some information suggesting he came from  town called Westerhof, which may be  in East Germany or up near Hannover. Rolland lost touch with his father at an early age (Friedrich deserted the family) and never told any of his ten children where in Germany Fred had come from. I'd like to know if you have any information about any Baumbachs from Westerhof. Rolland's wife, Mary Waldruff, who is Jennifer's great grandmother, was born in June 1884. Rolland was born Dec. 9, 1877. Thank you. Larry Smith

My Great-Grand Father was Otto J. Bombach, Sr; he was born in Perlebery, Germany in 183l.  A cousin tells me that his father brought him to the States to NYC,but returned to Germany.  When he (Otto) was 19 he ran away and came to the States via Galveston and settled in San Antonio for a while.  He married some lady that was about 18 hrs his senior.  Some how or for some reason he ended up in Jimenez, Mexiso where he married Hipolita Salmon (19 yrs his junior) and brought to Old Mesilla, NMex.  They had John, Charles (my grandpa), Henry, Otto, Elena, and Margaret).  They are both buried at the San Jose Cemetry in Las Cruces, NMex.

This same cousin tells me that Otto changed his name when he became an American citizen in 1852, from Baumbach to Bombach!

My great great grandmother was Elisabetha Johannetta Baumbach, daughter of Count Friedrich Wilhelm Baumbach (1763-1818) and Christiane Momberger (1762-1836.) Elisabetha Johannetta's siblings were Henrich Wilhelm Baumbach (1787-1858), Friedrich Ludwig (1789-1797), Elisabetha Catharina (1794-1821), Friedrich Ludwig (1797-?), and Johann Christian Carl (1802-1863.) Her grandfather was Count Johann Bathasar Baumbach. Her father Count Friedrich Wilhelm Baumbach founded the saltworks at Beustischer. Elisabetha Johannetta Baumbach married Johann Jost Fritz in Trais-Horloff, Hesse Darmstadt on 20 Apr 1829. She died 20 Mar 1846. Shortly after, her family emigrated to the United States and settled in Johnstown, PA. There were 4 children: Henry, John, Elisabeth and Adolph. John and Adolph were survivors of the Johnstown Flood of 1889, but John lost 3 daughters, a daughter-in-law and 4 grandchildren. John also lost his business to the flood.

Hello Mr. Baumbach,

many greetings from good old Germany. I am Hans-Dieter Baumbach from the city Erfurt (capital of the landscape and the german federate-state Thueringen - and also the homeland of your ancestors).

My gr-grandfather was the shoemaker Valentin Albert Baumbach, born 1857 in Ebertshausen (nearly 10 km northeast of Meiningen and 25 km southeast of Bad Liebenstein & Schweina). You have a very very interesting web-site. I found in your guest-book my nephew Matthias (our contact was interrupted before many years) and two Baumbach's (father & son) from Nuernberg also with ancestors in Ebertshausen - now we search the relation. As I saw your tree, I have wondered, why the wife of Friedrid Baumbach (I believe Friedrich) is written always only Catharine. You have on your web-site the birthrecord of her son Bernhard August and here can I read her complete name: Catharine Margarethe nee Aschenbach. From another web-source I know a horseshoesmith Friedrich Baumbach and a Catharine Margarethe Aschenbach with a son Bernhard August (b. 1855 in Meiningen and also a horseshoesmith). Friedrich have a sister Margarethe (b. 26.1.1837 in Meiningen). Their parents are Alfred Thomas Baumbach (b. 1800) and Catharina Hart (b. 1805 in Meiningen). All died in the USA.

Well, to think I grew up in Des Peres, Missouri, thinking my immediate family were the only Baumbachs in the world.Nobody at our school shared our family name except for my own sisters and cousins. I unconsiously tuned in to that name and looked for it in my travels in the military and in the newspapers and books I read in great numbers. When I was tipped off to this site by one of my five sisters, I thought after reading through the guest book, that no one had made mention of a couple of Baumbachs that made the history books. One was Werner Baumbach, who was a major strategist and commanding officer in the the air war for Germany in World War 2. Another Baumbach who distinguished himself was Harland L. Baumbach, who was among those reieving a scientific and technical award in the 1957 Academy Awards for his contribution in developing an automatic printer light selector. I'm sure there must be more Baumbachs out there that have made their mark in the archives of various histories. So it might be interesting if some of the Baumbachs, could share their knowledge on this site of other Baumbachs that have distinguished themselves in some way.I read in an advertisement for the rodeo held on on the fourth of July week-end, 2004, at Mark Twain Lake in Missouri, the results from the 2003 rodeo, and it turned out a guy named Dustin Baumbach and his partner had won the team roping event. So we know at least one of the Baumbach clan turned out to be a cowboy. That was my dream growing up, but it ended when they took Roy Rogers and Gene Autry and Wild Bill Hickock off of Saturday morning TV. This site has made my day , it is too much to absorb in one visit so I will be coming back alot. Thanks

The website is great lots of information on family history. My grandmother was Cathren Baumbach. There are more Baumbach's in Middletown Pa. Some had the invite to the 2000 reunion. My grand mothers parents were here before the civil war and she married a Spangler.Would be interested on how to obtain the family crest if obtainable.

I'm just beginning to look into my late father's side of my family, and have hit nothing but dead ends. I don't know much about him, or relatives on his side, but do remember stories about our german descent, and how the spelling of our last name was changed by the immigration officials. My wish is to find my families lost (at least to me) history. His name was Rodger Rudy Bomback. Any information would be extremely helpful, and if the name doesn't "ring a bell", I thank you for your time.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. We are the Baumbach's in Colorado There are about 3 Main Families with descendants. I am the descendant of George and Hulda(Eikenhorst) Baumbach.  George's parents were John and Mary Baumbach of North Platte, Nebraska.   All are deceased - Hulda most recently in 1990. George/Hulda had 7 children, 6 lived to Adulthood. 1 Died in WWII in Car Accident. 5 Lived here in Colorado for the past 50 years, or so. Alvin, Evelyn, Helene, George,Jr, Charles(Chuck).  Evelyn and Chuck died in 2003. Al is my father, and remains with his brother George and sister Helene. We all generally live along the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, generally in the greater metro Denver area. Our German ancestor came to USA around 1840 on board a ship, to escape rather mean spirited  "foster" parents he left behind in Germany. Bruce Baumbach in Sandy, Utah knows a lot more if you want to contact him.

Andrew was one of twin sons of Amandus Baumbach and Margaret Adams (Andrew and Charles), born in Washington DC in the 1860's I believe. I have seen them listed in the family email. My mother really enjoyed all the family information as she had been told of Amandus coming to America from a German town with a castle. He may have been a tailor or an apprentice there.

Hello one and all, Greetings form Wisconsin! I am Robert Carl Olson, grandson of Carl Paul Lincoln Baumbach. My aunt Jeannie (Baumbach) Jahnke, gave me this web address, and ever since I have been obsessed with my Baumbach heritage. First, I would like to thank William James Baumbach II for this website. I never knew that there were so many Baumbachs around the world. The information presented here is just great! The information on Tannenberg castle, and the possibility of having family there is absolutely extraordinary! I am excited beyond words! I have a very deep passion for Germany; I was stationed there for 2 ½ years while I was in the U.S. Army in the early 80’s. I became very active in the community where I was stationed…Babenhausen. I played in the city orchestra, and spent all of my free time in the company of my German friends. Now, twenty years later I find that my attempt to trace our family history dead ends in Darmstadt Germany. I was very well acquainted with Darmstadt while I was stationed nearby…and I was not aware that my great, great grandfather Carl Baumbach came from there. At any rate, we are looking to trace things as far back as possible, and hopefully within the walls of Tannenberg. The fartherst we can find is Carl Baumbach, born 04 FEB 1850 in ,,,, Hessen Darmstadt, Germany, and died 14 DEC 1931 in ,, Fall Creek, Eau Claire Co, WI, USA. He was buried 17 DEC 1931 in St. James Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, Fall Creek, Eau Claire Co, WI, USA. He married Fredricke WOLTER 1872. She was born 23 JAN 1850 in ,,,, Holstein, Germany, and died 09 NOV 1939 in ,, Fall Creek, Eau Claire Co, WI, USA. She was buried 12 NOV 1939 in St. James Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, Fall Creek, Eau Claire Co, WI, USA. A couple of further facts: Carl Baumbach was a Lutheran Pastor at St. James Trinity Lutheran Church, Fall Creek, WI. Carl Baumbach immigrated to the U. S. in 1867. I would appreciate any and all help in tracing this back further. I also have one more question. Does anyone have a description of the symbolism of our family crest? I am curious to learn what is behind the symbols that make up the crest. I have searched high and low, but I came up empty handed. Well, thank you all, and I look forward to meeting some of you in the future. Bob Olson

Subject: am I related to the Baumbach Castle ??

Hi Bill. I don't actually know for certain that we are related. But the name Baumbach is not very common and there aren't that many of us. When I saw the picture of the "famous Baumbach" my first immediate reaction was that he reminded me of my Uncles (my mother's brothers). The attached picture (which I just sent earlier) may not be a true representation because often the pictures don't show the true profiles and such. But I was amazed at the resemblance. My cousin Monica from Southern California had the very same reaction I did when she first saw the famous Baumbach portrait. The other gentleman in the white clock with the Baumbach clock didn't seem similar in looks.

I feel that you resemble some of the photographs or people I have seen on the video tape.

I remember my mother telling me when I was a small child that a distant cousin or a distant Aunt of our Baumbach family who lived in Canada had been doing some family research and she had mentioned to my mother or other family members "that some important person...a king or someone had given land to our ancestors". Now that is just word of mouth and my mother passed away when I was only age 17, that is all I remember or know.

These Baumbach relatives lived in and around a village called "Rostock" up near Stratford, Ontario, Canada. My sister and I visited Rostock and found a cemetery there with many, many Baumbach's buried in it and we know that they are our family. In fact,
my father was along with us during this visit. We asked some local people to guide us to the Baumbach's so we knocked on an older Baumbach's door. My dad nearly fainted because he said he could have been a twin to my mother's Uncle Billy. There personalities were similar as well. It almost seems like he was also named William or Bill Baumbach, too.

I wrote down two names of cousins we met back then. I don't even know if they are still around in the area or not, but they were
Harold Baumbach, RR#2, Gads HIll, Rostock, Ontario; and I had an address for Albert Baumbach, RR#5, Stratford, Ontario.

They left Germany apparently around 1851.

I'll forward you two separate family histories. One I got from elderly great aunts and cousins. The other I just recently got from my cousin Bill Baumbach in Nebraska.

This picture was taken in London, England 3 days before he died. Buffalo Bill sent it to my father also [to] advise [him of] his death". George Frederick Baumbach was employed on one of the European Tours of W. F. Cody's Wild West Show. Buffalo Bill toured Europe in 1887, 1889, and in 1903, a joint tour with Barnum & Bailey's Circus. George's brother, Charles Baumbach supposedly worked for the Barnum & Bailey Circus.

I am the daughter of a Baumbach, now living in Texas. While I knew my family was from Germany and that others in my immediate family had done genealogy into the Baumbach family, I learned an incredible amount of information from this site, and especially the castle video. I never knew I descended from nobles ... pretty neat! Only recently have I become interested in genealogy. I will be doing more research (on both sides of my family tree) and will share it with all of the Baumbachs in our little clan. Best to all.

It's just I only know the Baumbach's in Canada, I'm not sure if I have any relatives in Germany, I think I do but I'm not sure. Do you know Brian William Baumbach, Kevin Baumbach and Bruce Baumbach in Canada? Well Grandpa Bruce died when I was 5 years old, he was my hero, but he's gone now. There's only 3 of us in Canada now. Like with the last name Baumbach that is. Please if you could answer my questions, I would be so happy. I'm 14 years old now and I'm taking German lessons on how to speak your language so that if you are my family I can come see you sometime. I am very proud to be a Baumbach, if you translated our name to "Tree Brook or Stream" would you just cut it down to "brooks?" or something like that?!

 Hello William: The work you have done on the Baumbach website is terrific. My name is Wade M. Baumbach (47) and I live in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. My Father Edward (76) his father Isaac Baumbach (1890 - 1975) also lived here. My Great Grandfather was Johann Baumbach (1851-1911) He had 12 children from his first wife (Margaret Reimche) and 9 children from his second wife (Margaret Dell). He and his second wife had left Alberta to purchase property in Lodie CA in 1911. They were riding in a car with the land agent when they were hit by a street car and all were killed. They are buried in Lodie. The first family for the most part stayed in Alberta while the second family moved to California. 

I have a copy of our family history compiled by Voilet F. Nance dating back to 1792 with my GGG Grandfather Heinrich Baumbach in the Rhineland area of Germany.

My name is Patricia Baumbach, daughter of John Joseph Baumbach, born in Melon, Wisc. Jul 7, 1909. He was the oldest of many children but some died at birth. Living siblings were James, George, and sisters Margaret and Clara. The whole family moved to Riverside, CA., approx 1915. My father's father was Joseph John Baumbach who came to America from Germany when he was six yrs old (approx,. 1883), with his father whom I believed to be William Baumbach but not sure because I cannot find any records of them entering the US. All I know is they settled in and around Melon, WI. From reviewing all the e-mail messages in your system, about half the people came from a man called William who came here from Germany so there must have been a lot of Williams. Joseph married a Ruby Isadore Carter in Wisconsin but she was from Kimball, Wisc.

Great site that I just discovered. I am related to same part of the Baumbach clan as history book visitor Zeta Peterson. Her Grandfather Lorenz was a brother of my Grandmother, Margaretha Caroline (in later years she used Margaret). My Grandmother passed away in July of 2000. There is another sibling of her Grandfather and my Grandmother that was not mentioned in her posts. Our Grandparents' father William immigrated to the US from Canada after getting a woman pregnant and then failing to marry her. His parents in Canada, William and Carloine, soon after reported that he had died while away. That is why he has a grave in Canada with a very early date and one in Nebraska. The name of the child from that union escapes me right now, but she subsequently married and had a son, Jay Quartz. Jay spent years doing genealogy research in his homeland in Canada. He always wondered why there was so little information on his grandfather. Quite by accident, he discovered that there had been a decades-long deception. He has very extensive genealogical data on the Canadian side of the Baumbach's. I have lost contact with him but will see if I can locate him and provide a copy to anyone interested. Monica Phillips

Dear William,

I hope, you don't mind of writing like this because my name is also Baumbach and I'm really surprised about our history. My name is Matthias Kay, I am born in East-Germany in Arnstadt in 1965, a small town near Erfurt. I grow up in Berlin where I studied Music. So I am a musician, now living for further studies in Rotterdam (The Nederlands), where I study Tango music and also play in a Tango band called Cuarteto Gotan. (on the picture at the guitar - this is a Tangoball at the "Café de Kroon" in Amsterdam)

So far, so good. Sorry about my bad english...Oh yes I'm interested in this "Baumbach" domain. Tell me please, what I have to do.

Subject: Tannenberg

Hello William,
   My name is Mark Meissner and I live in San Francisco.  Most of my relatives live in a little town called Breese, Illinois.  Last year a man who lives in Newcastle upon Tyne in Britain contacted my cousins in IL to share some letters and documents that were passed down from his great grandmother, Martha Elizabeth  whose maiden name was Meissner . Some of the documents referred to her as being from Neuterhausen and some from Tannenberg. At first it was thought that the Tannenberg meant the Tannenberg Battle site of the Russian defeat in 1914 in Poland as that reference is more easily found in literature.  But when I investigated I discovered the translation was incorrect and that the Neutershausen was really Nentershausen. and  the Tannenberg association made it clear. Some of the documents were letters from MY great grandfather Ludwig/ Louis Meissner (1837-1898) who emigrated to St Louis between 1855 and 1860. In 1861 he was in the Union Army (for six months) and ended up thereafter in Breese.  Martha was married to a 'turner' from Wolfsanger Parish in Kassel in 1855 and several of the documents refer to that process, including her birth certificate from the Church in Nentershausen. She was born in 1832 and was considered a spinster. On one wedding document (they were married in Nentershausen) it refers to her as Martha Eliz Meissner of Tannenberg. Her Father was named as Burkhardt Meissner who was a Shepard or master Shepard depending upon translation. The godmother was the wife of Anton Jordan "lord of the manor'  from Basterode (that being a suspect translation). I had at one point thought that the Manor referred to the Tannenberg itself but after reading of Baumbach's Ludwig I and the Landgreve of Hesse and that history I think that theory is false.  But the fact that Martha was reffered to as 'from Tannenberg' shows some kind of connection. Also, there are siblings of Martha and Louis called Peter and Maria. I'm guessing that Peter was the oldest and Louis therefore had to emigrate as that was the norm at that time. I'm hoping to find if any Meissners are left in the area and am planning to go over to Nentershausen perhaps next year.

I will of course become a member and hopefully convince others in the family to do likewise. Vincent Angus, the relative in Newcastle might also want to support the Tannenberg project. He has possession of the original letters and documents. I think that Tannenberg or Nentershausen might be interested in some of them and I.am going to try and determine that when I go over. Vincent said he wanted to meet me there so he could bring the related documents over with him. They are very impressive , what with their seals and such.. Well,  sorry to take so much of your time but I was very excited to see that there was a Tannenberg society.

Thanks,

You'll be hearing from me soon.

Hoping to go there next year and am really excited.

By the way, I found a genealogy referring to the Landgrave of Hesse (who evidently 'took over' Tannenberg from your family at some point) who was related to the Counts of Louvain and Brabant, and to the Percy family in Northumberland who figured significantly in English history and are major players in Shakespear's history plays.

The Tanneberg Castle film was really interesting.  My great grandfather was Ludwig Baumbach born in Germany about 1840 and emigrated to Chicago when my grandfather was 3 in 1878.  He had 5 children and one was named Wilhelm and one was Frederick.  My grandfather came to New Orleans to help establish Dietzgen and married my grandmother - they had three children.  I will send on an outline of our genealogy as I have it.  However, I don't go any further back than Ludwig and I would love to make the connections - especially with all those names in common!  Thanks for all your help....my brother gets your emails and forwarded on the info about the castle.  Great work:  Jody (Hardy) Curran

It's awkward to put this information here because I don't want to "scare" him, but it is important for me to locate him. I have reason to believe that he's my biological father. My biological mother claims that she married Mr. Baumbach in California in about 1968 or 1969. Her name at that time was Terrania Lomonte. She was employed at the Kit Kat Club in Burbank at that time and I believe that is where they met. If anyone can assist me in any way with this search, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi Everyone, 

I am still in shock.  My husband's mom has been trying to find out information for years just wondering if she'd be able to answer his questions.  She did not send an email on the Baumbach website because she didn't think family was on there, but you have all answered a prayer that's been asked for years. 

 I am totally speechless, in tears and shaking at the thought of us putting something together for my husband, JC.  We have not told my husband of this research.  Please contact me at amylu_23113@yahoo.com or his mom Sandy at smmores@hotmail.com .  I cannot tell you how much this means to us.  His mom and I are just - we're stunned and happy and... Thank you. 

I will be in touch with all of you.  I am sure there are a million and one questions, I just cannot think of them now.

 Hi - I am Katherine Baumbach Hardy Foster.  I live in Houston, Tx. but am originally from New Orleans, LA.  My grandmother on my dad's side was Alice Baumbach Hardy.  She recently (July 2000) passed away in New Orleans.  I am the only grandchild that was given the Baumbach name out of six.  Add us to your list if we are not already there - my dad, Ashton Richard Hardy, probably already wrote you of our line of Baumbachs, but I wanted to be sure.

To whom it may concern I have been tracing my husband's family tree for many years, and noticed in a search that the name 'Schrader' appeared in a document attributed to your family history. As my husband's family originated from Hanover, it seems quite likely that you have may have some information which may tie up with members of this tree. I would be grateful for your feedback if you have the time. Sincerely Mrs Inez Schrader.

Subject: Baumbach history!

Dear William James Baumbach: I'm so excited to see some of my families Baumbach history on the internet! I will introduce myself as Lois. My mother's maiden name was Olive B. Baumbach. Her father's name was George Baumbach, son of Guido and Otillie Baumbach. Guido was the son of Henry Baumbach, who came to America with his twin brother Guido Baumbach. They came from Stadt-weimer Saxony Germany, when they were 19 yrs. old. They were born in Germany in 1825. Henry came to Wisconsin near Norwalk, WI in the 1800's. Guido settled in Pennsylvania. They had a brother Valentine, who came to America later. Their uncle was Casper who resided in Germany, he taught them weaving, shoemaking, and baking. They came to America as musicians. They played for Forpaugh and Sells Circus Band in Philadelphia, PA. They played for Lincoln's inaugral ball, March 4,1881. With this information, could you tell me anything about my great-great-greatparents in Germany? What their names was and where they were born and where they lived? Also, can you go back further with this family name and tell me of earlier ancesters and where they resided and their names. I read somewhere, where there was history as far back as 1625. Was this Baumbach family connected with the Baumbach castle? If you can give me info contact me at rubylady10@hotmail. My family lives in Sparta,WI

Subject: Baumbachs around the world

Hello,
My name is Per L. Baumbach, and I am born and raised in Denmark. I believe that my family originally came from Germany, I know that there are at least two villages in central Germany called Baumbach. I was told that during the 30-years' war in Europe, one of the German mercenaries followed Sweden's king Carl XII's troops back to Sweden. He raised a family which lived outside Arvika in a secluded part of Sweden near the Norwegian border for a few centuries. Not all were as good as gold, I have been told that according to the church registry, one of my great-grandfathers was convicted as a highwayman, and ended his life on the gallows in Stockholm, although I have not checked that story. Anyway, my grandfather was a sculpturer, and as a young adventurous man, he intended to travel to Paris, France to study in 1911. However, he ran out of money in Copenhagen Denmark, and had to make a living by doing odd jobs like woodcarving of exclusive dining room chairs - quite an industry in those days. His fiancée joined him in Copenhagen in 1913, and he eventually became a professor, teaching at the Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen. The family still lives there - that is, apart from my wife Helene, our two kids Victor and Alexandra who very recently has migrated to New Zealand with me. Apparently we are the first - or presently the only - Baumbachs living in New Zealand. So, I believe that we now really span the globe, right?

I enjoyed your web site, and would like to get an email address like Per@Baumbach.com , if it is available. Could it redirect to my present address in NZ, baumbach@xtra.co.nz ?

Best regards,
Per L. Baumbach

Just got your email after having travelled for a few days. You did not mention
if Ludwig Carl Wilhelm von Baumbach (Nentershausen/Kirchheim lineage)
b.22.4.1799 Reichensachsen m- 23.11.1829 Wilhelmine Schenck zu Schweinsberg
(8 children) d.20.1.1883 Milwaukee was your ancestor ??
One son? listed as state secretary Minnesota (10-1-1880)

Half brother to Ludwig C.W.von Baumbach(above)  is Moritz Ernst von Baumbach
Minister of Justice in Hessia.. His curriculum vitae - picture (German)
http://www.bdos.org/sample3.htm
There were several von Baumbach family members  who went to the US at that time.
e.g.Friedrich Wilhelm August Ludwig von Baumbach(Gilserhof/Freudenthal lineage)
(b.Ziegenhain 17.8.1801 d.New Orleans 25.11. 1870) m. Katharina Dippel (4 children,
son Alexander -could he be identical with Carl? s.below died in the civil war) and
sister Amalie von Baumbach (b1808 Gilserhof-d.1858 US) m. to Martin Dippel
and 3 children(2,3,4) of their cousin Ludwig Wilhelm Ferdinand Oswald v.B. (1817-1892)
Karl b.1857, and Amalie, and  Auguste. ---
and Hansheinrich Ludwig Moritz von Baumbach (Nassenerfurth lineage)
b. Rudolfstadt 1.11.1903 listed in the ancestor charts as Chemist in Milwaukee. 

In the Internet I discovered that:

Hi my name is Judy Houtsch. Today I received your e-mail about Bodo Baumbach.

My Grandmother Meta Margarethe Baumbach (married to William Bohmfalk) was one of twelve children of Peter Ernst Wilhelm Baumbach and Sophie Meinken- married 10/9/1880 in Rablinghausen, Germany. My grandmother was born in 1883 in Germany. Her father's father was Johann Heinrich Baumbach married to Christine Weyberg.

I have the names of my grandmother's brothers and sisters and many names of their children. My great- grandfather was called Wilhelm. I do not know if he had any brothers or sisters or aunts or uncles.

My grandmother came to the USA ,after her husband who came here in 1914. My father was born here in 1917. Her brother Friedrich Carl Baumbach and sister Elsie Emma Louise Sophie Baumbach also came to the USA and have families here.

I am the family- Family Tree researcher. I use the program Family Tree Maker to keep our records. Both sides of my family have come from Germany. I have a lot of information from my grandmother (Meta Baumbach) down to the children. I am missing new information on relatives in Germany. Last year I was able to update information on my grandma's sisters family in Germany.

I would like to hear from you to see how we may be related. My grandma and aunt have told us of a brother- Ernest Peter Wilheim Baumbach- who came to a USA to visit, went traveling in the USA and they never heard from him again. There is also a story of Wilhelm in the state of Maryland who was a Baker. (Baltimore). We do have pictures of him. Aunt Elsie had said he had a wife named Christana and two children.

My grandma, Uncle Fred and Aunt Elsie have all since past on.

Hope to hear from you.

Helloh,
I like your Web pages on the Baumbach family. My wifes mother was Annemarie v.Baumbach married to Burkhard v. Dörnberg. She was of the Kirchheim-Nentershausen lineage, sister to Margarete von Baumbach, who died a few years ago in Kirchheim. Bodo Baumbach with whom you are on the picture is a cousin of my wife in Kirchheim. As I am digging into the family history I came across a small brochure written in 1886 by August Baron von Baumbach on the "History of the Family von Baumbach,  members of the Old-Hessian Knighthood" I´m enclosing a picture of the cover. Should you wish to have more details - let me know. I also have a 1909 copy of the Handbook of Nobility, listing the Baumbach family. No doubt you have the details:

Kirchheim/Nentershausen  Lineage: 

Wilhelm Leberecht v.Baumbach b. Nentershausen 1.2.1757, d.Cassel 8.7.1826
        2nd marriage: Altenfeld 26.12.1792 with Amalie v.Buttlar(The Butlars have a published genealogy
                              going back to the 11th century when they came from England)
1st.Son:  Ludwig Karl Wilhelm v.B. b.Reichensachsen 22.4.1799 d.Milwaukee 26.1.1883
               m. Kirchheim 23.11.1829 Wilhelmine Schenck zu Schweinsberg

This Much I do Know: My family came from Germany in the late 1800's supposedly from a town named Baumbach in what used to be East Germany. I think(?) near Dresden. They wound up in Minnesota. In The Scott County IA census a Ernst Bumbaugh(Baumbach)was found in Pleasant Valley IA 1895 (Farmers of)The next Baumbach relative I can find is my greatgrandfather Otto Baumbach who was married to a Minnie Krambeck. I can find his death certificate (SSN Records) but there I'm stuck. My Grandfather was(is)Arnold O. Baumbach (deseased). Grandmother was Gladys. From Pleasant Valley,IA They were the first onion farmers in the area. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone I would like to see how far I can trace my family.

Excellent presentation- Doing some family research and trying to develop an ancestor tree including the wifes of the Baumbachs and their families. - Baumbach history in Germany is going well into the early 13th century. Earliest seal of the family is attached to a document of Helmerich v.Baumbach dated 13th July 1316, which is kept in the state archives in Marburg/Hessia.

Subject: Hello, William!

Could you please add these emails to your list - they are the remaining of a dwindling annual family Baumbach reunion that meets in the NY/PA/NJ area each summer.

We are decended from Peter Ernst Wilhelm Baumbach (1853-1907) and Sophie Meinken (1861-1951).  They had 12 children -4 of which did not live past childhood or infancy.  Three of the children came to America in the New Jersey area and kept close family contact - the second oldest, Meta Margarethe; my grandfather, Fredrich Carl; and the youngest, Elsie E.  (now all deceased) Their children (0ur parents) were cousins, and were more like brothers and sisters.  Consequently, THEIR children (my generation) are like direct cousins. 

My mother ( eliz00hy@aol.com ) is the only one 'born' a Baumbach in the whole lot of us.  Yet, we  have been having Baumbach family reunions for about 9 years now.  Each year it is at someone else's home, and most of us camp out in the yards.  We are an odd a bit kooky bunch, and have a great time.  I believe this year we will be in Newark, Delaware (the furthest jaunt of the rounds).

jbrady@ptd.net  --- Janet - Meta's granddaughter

eliz00hy@aol.com  --- Betty - my mom, Fred's daughter

rhoutsch@ptd.net  --- Meta's granddaughter (Judy, my cousin is our "photo-journalist" of the clan/reunions, and keeps the family tree info)

kkochans@ix.netcom.com  - Karen - Elsie's granddaughter

There are others without email - but if you contact these few, they will contact the non-internet folk.

This is soooo cool!  We love our heritage.  I downloaded photos from your website a few years ago, and made a slide show that we have enjoyed.  We were especially interested in the coat of arms, and also how much the painting of the man looks like my grandfather.

I look forward to your newsletters and info! Beth Bodemann (still, with the German names!)

Hi This is pretty darn neat ! You folks certainly put a tremendous amount of hard work and energy in to your Webb site. A job very well done. You must be terribly proud. My Dad Phillip August Baumbach was born in 1912, lived in the Central Valley of California. He was orphaned in 1919, and went to live with his newly married 18 year old sister Tillie, in Dinuba, California. At the age of 8 years, as his story is told, he begun his on the nob training as a plumber's helper to his brother-in-law George Stanton, Tillie's husband.Thus began his 45 years of being a plumber as was your Dad.In 1944, during WWII, he moved his family from the Valley to Pittsburg California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he became established and part owner of Pittsburg Plumbling and Heating with his nephew Raymond. He took over the company shortly thereafter and was in the plumbing business until his retirement in 1963. Small world I would say !!!!

My Grandfather was born in Niederwillingen in Thuringen, Germany around 1880. He was a glassblower. There were many glassblowers in that area so he came to live near Manchester, England in about 1900 where there were very few glassblowers. He made a good living and worked with several people who later became famous. His work enabled Ernest Rutherford to split the atom. I have never met any other Baumbachs other than relatives and I don't think we are related to any other in the UK. I'm very impressed with the website.

Dear William, Thank you for getting me started looking into my family tree. I haven't had much luck so far. I am Donna Baumbach Landau and I live in South Carolina. My grandfather, Arthur had 2 brothers, William and Edward. They lived in the Bronx. If anyone knows of my great grandfather, Emil Baumbach, please contact me at DTreebrook@aol.com.

My great grandmother's name was Barbara Kramer. Greetings to all of my very distant cousins.---Donna

P.S. to my note? My Great grandfather Emil Baumbach's brother William was the first band master of the NYC Fire Department Band. Perhaps this is a clue to help me link up with anyone knowing more about that branch of the family through your web site. Thanks, Donna Baumbach Landau

Subject: Baumbach Family History

Mr. Baumbach,

My name is Rebecca Anne (Tautges) Baumbach. I am a Baumbach by marriage, but I am very interested in the family history as is my husband, Sean Baumbach. Thank you for the invitation to the reunion in Germany. We would love to go, but we're unable to make it. Your letter has led us to quite a bit of information about the family, thank you. My mother-in-law, Roxanne Alice (Riedel) Baumbach, wife of Richard Adolph Baumbach, gave my husband the following family history as written by Fred Baumbach in March 1969. Henry and Guido Baumbach, twin brothers, were born in Stadt Weimer, Saxony, Germany in 1825. They apprenticed to an uncle, Casper Baumbach, as shoemaker, weave, and baker up to the age of 19 years. At this time they were subject to military draft so they decided to emigrate to America. Being musically inclined, the two brothers traveled on foot earning their way by performing on flute and piccolo at each town visited. This required the stamp of approval from the magistrate of the town and was recorded in what was called a Wanderer Book. This book, together with their flute and piccolo are still in existence. The journey from home to the port of embarkation at Bremen, Germany, lasted from May 1844 to the following August. Six weeks aboard sailship brought the two brothers to Trenton, New Jersey. The next stop was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where they were hired to play in the Forpaugh and Sells Circus band, traveling from town to town by wagon train. After a season with the circus they married two sisters by the name of Catherine and Dorthea Katzman also recently from Germany. From Philadelphia the two couples moved to Middletown, Pennsylvania, being employed at their trades learned back in Germany. By 1866, the two brothers had children. Henry with six sons and Guido with three sons and three daughters.

Henry was not satisfied with the idea of raising six sons under city environment so he contacted a brother-in-law, Mr. Kurtzman then living in Wisconsin. Locating a homestead on the ridge near Norwalk, Wisconsin, the Henry Baumbach family moved from Middletoen, Pennsylvania in 1887 to the homestead. They set to work with grub hoe and axe and acquired a home with much hardship. However, Henry required his boys to take musical instruction from him for recreation. This resulted in the Baumbach Band which was engaged in entertaining at many social gatherings around Norwalk in those days. 

This brings us to the marriage of Henry's six sons, as follows; Guido Jr. married Delia Lueck, and their children consisted of seven sons namely: George, Will, Elmer, Julian, Oscar, Robert, and Rueben, the latter being twins. George married Delia Schmalz, and their children consisted of four daughters and three sons, namely: Emma, Minnie, Edward, Herman, Otto, Ida, and Martha. John married Mary Jones and their children consisted of four sons namely: Johnnie, Charlie, Henry, and William. Henry Jr. married Caroline Perso, and their children consisted of three daughters and one son, namely: Mary Breitenfield, Martha Schwarz, Alma Telfer, and Herman, who is now residing in Nebraska. William married Bertha Schamens and their children consisted of four daughters and two sons, namely: Melita, Alvina, Thressia, August, Adolph, and Meta. Albert married Caroline Schendel and their children consisted of Fred W. and Paul A. Baumbach. Guido Sr., the twin brother of Henry, had a family of three sons and three daughters. This family settled in Pennsylvania and are all residing in the East. A brother, Valentine came to Americs later. Charles Baumbach, a grandson of Guido was director of a 30 piece band for 30 years and in this band there were nine Baumbachs. They performed in the East and Canada. At the Lutheran Cemetary near Norwalk, WI are buried the original Henry Baumbach Sr., and his wife Catherine; Martha; George and his wife;also Henry Jr. and his wife, Caroline. Herman Baumbach, the grandson of Henry Sr., lives on the old homestead farm near Norwalk, WI. 

This is all the Baumbach Family information I have at this time. Adolph, son of William, was my father-in-law's father. Adolph married Meta Friede and had three children: Richard, Audrey, and Opal. I am wondering if there was a mistake about Guido Jr.'s wife's name. I saw in another email on your site the name Ottilie Lueck being married to Guido Jr. instead of the name Delia. 

Thank you again for news of the reunion and the great website. We welcome any correspondence from other Baumbachs who want to get to know each other.

Sincerely,
Rebecca A. Baumbach

 Hi William:

I am getting back to you with more information on my Baumbach heritage and
how we may be related to your family.

My great-great-grandfather, Henry Baumbach Sr. had a son, Guido (Named after
his twin-brother, Guido and my great-great-uncle) who married Ottilie Lueck. 
They had seven sons; William, George, Elmer, Julian, Oscar, and twins Robert
and Reuben (my grandfather).  My Baumbach family moved to the Wisconsin area
in the late 1800's with the opening up of the railroads.  My grandfather,
Reuben Baumbach was a retired railroader.

Henry Baumbach, Sr. and Guido (the twin Baumbach brother's) upon emigration
to the US, were hired to play in the FORPAUGH and SELLS Circus Band in
Philadelphia, PA.  I have two different pictures of this band.  The FORPAUGH
and SELLS Circus Band played for President Lincoln's inaugural ball, March 4,
1981.  President Lincoln's inaugration was the first inaugural to take place
beneath the unfinished US Capitol Dome.

Also, Guido, twin brother of Henry Sir, had three sons and three daughters
and resided in Pennsylvania (Middletown area).  Doris King, daughter of Betty
Baumbach has the Middletown, PA Baumbach family traced and documented very
well.  She even has the ship registry on which they emigrated to the US.  Let
me know if you need her address and information.

There are no longer any living Baumbach's of my grandfather's generation.  We
are now working on my mother's generation.  My mother, Muriel Baumbach
Washbond (Mt. Pulaski, IL)  has the following siblings, Calvin Baumbach
(Minneapolis, MN), Elinor Baumbach Meyer (Rochester, MN), Kenneth Baumbach
(Duluth, MN), Loren Baumbach (Northfield, MN), Roger Baumbach (our Nomad and
happy wonderer), Duane Baumbach (Mt. Pulaski, IL).  Deceased siblings, Eugene
Baumbach (Eyoto, MN) and Barbara Baumbach Stoloch (Eyoto, MN).

Thanks for keeping in touch.

Hi William:

I just wanted to give you background on my Baumbach heritage.  My great-great
grandfather was Henry Baumbach, Sr. (twin brother of Guido) who was born in
1825 and emigrated to America when they were 19 years old.  They were
musicians.

My grandfather, Reuben, was born February 22, 1900 in or around Sparta, WI., 
and died in January 1990.  He had 8 children.  My mother Muriel was the
oldest, born April 29, 1921.  She still survives and lives in Mt. Pulaski,
IL.  I will remail more.

HI, My name is Andrew Baumback, and I am living in Australia. I guess my parents never found out much about the family history..from what I can know possibly early 20th Century or thereabouts some of the Baumbacks migrated to England (and changed the last letter of the name I guess to not appear so "ethnic"!) I was born in England in 1964 and we in turn migrated to Aust in 1968. I have a 10 year old son (Julian) who would love to feel he has a "connection" with Germany and other Baumbacks, as we have no other relatives in Oz from the Baumback (apart from brothers' families) and there are only a handful of names even similar to Baumbach even in our country's phone directories!!

I would love to hear if anyone knows of the "England" connection!

hey there. i have known lisa and willie almost my whole life.... willie comes over occasionally and i talk to lisa a lot. i thought that when willie told me to go to this site it would be like any other "family" page- but, it's not. i like it a lot. when i tried to go into the homepages it didnt work- but i understand that some things take time to work out to perfection. anyways, thanks for giving me something to do on a rainy night like tonight!

My name is Jens Baumbach, I was born on the 7th of may in 1969 in Geldern/Germany. My father, Günter Ernst Baumbach, was born on the 4th of january in 1938 in Emmerich, which is also in Germany. Now an interesting point: My grandfather, Walter Baumbach, born 1905, has grown up in "Wildungen" or "Bad Wildungen", which is near Kassel/Germany. And Kassel is near BaumbachCastle! Some years ago, my grandmother told me something about my grandfathers family. Some of my old, very old, relatives has gone to the states during the 1800's. In one of the next month, I'll get a part of the written down history of our family. If you are interested, I'll gave it as a copy to you. Some other details about my person: I am married with an nice little lady, called Marion, her name of birth is Feuerreiter. We got 2 boys, Maximilian, * 18.08.1995, and Christoph, *27.10.1996 My wife is an nurse and my profession is to be a police officer

Thank you for telling me about the castle and the history of your
family.  I am a Baumbach by marriage but I wanted to ask how we know we
are related to you or can be traced back to the castle?  My husband's
grandfather was Ruebin Rinehart Baumbach.  He lived in Sparta
Wisconsin.  We have a family reunion of his descendents every odd year
(this is a very large family).  Last reunion I saw a picture of the
Lincoln Inagural Band in which there were Baumbach's playing-they were
musicians in German before coming to America. One name I know is Guido
Baumbach who was a musician. So are we related?  It's big family.

Thanks for doing this great web site. Can not attend the reunion on Sep 9, but appreciated the notification. Do you have any information on how we could find out about our Baumbach ancestor who came to the USA about 1840. We have very little info on where he came from and if any remaining relatives are in Germany.

Hi everybody called BAUMBACH I am a Baumbach, too. My name is Jens Baumbach, I live in Munich, Germany Years ago, my grandmother told me about same relatives, who went to america.

This note is to W.J. Baumbach, Jr.,

Why is it that you don't ever mention the name of the woman, who stood by your father's side through the hard times as well as the good times, and made it possible for him to become a millionaire? You know who I am talking about? Lillian's mother Mrs. Louise Carter Baumbach.... Why have you left this vital part of your father's fame out of the "family history"?

Hi my name is Melanie Wikberg, I am a 33 year old mother of three. On May 24th I will be taking my master plumbers exam. I (with g-ds help) will be the first female master plumber in the city of Scranton Pennsylvania. I really wish i could've met Lillian. I first heard of her in Plumbing and Mechanical Magazine that my husband and I love to read. I think that they should do a little more for the women in the trade. Unlike Lillian, my father was a carpenter and against me becoming one. So one day aplumber friend needed a helper and I volunteered and it's been 14 years and I'm still with it. And just like Lillian I didn't have to give up my femininity!!!!!!! So now that its getting closer to May 24th I just felt the need to e-mail you and tell you a little bit about me. I currently work for a very large Mechanical contractor and do commercial, industrial and some residential service work. I really love it!!! I also am involved in a great project. I am the plumber for Habitat for Humanities "woman Build". We are a group of skilled and unskilled women who joined together in the spirit of sisterhood to build a house for a single mom. This is not a handout like so many people think. She is ahard working mother and has to give back sweat equity 500 hours worth and also pay a mortgage. I am also a wife and a mother of an 11 year old girl, a 9 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. Thanks for listening Mrs Melanie Wikberg

I never really knew there were so many people with the name Baumbach

Comments

My name is Raymond D. Chavez; my Mother's name was Adelina Apodaca Bom-bach; her Father's name was Charles David Salmon Bombach; his Father's name was Otto J. Bombach, Sr. Otto came to the USA via Galveston, Texas and settled in San Antonio, Texas in 1848. He married a widow named Sarah Small (no marriage records - she was 18 yrs his senior!) They acquired properties there, and he refurbished her boarding house and is now a national historical monument - The Otto J. Bombach, Sr residence and The Little Rhein Steak- house on the River Walk. They separa- ted (no divorce or other record), and he went to Jimenez, Mexico where he married Hipolita Salmon (no marriage record) and brought her to the Las Cruces, New Mexico area where they set-tled and sired five boys and two girls. They are buried in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The certificate where he becomes a USA citizen shows that he was born in Perleberg, Prussia in 1831 and is dated 1852. My second cousin here in El Paso tells me that he strongly believes that his surname was Baumbach and not Bombach! We sure would like to clear this up and put it to rest, and wouldn't mind being decendants of Baum-bachs. I would dearly like to come to Germany in September and meet youall! My email is: rchabach@cs.com. Hope to hear from youall.

George Michael Baumbach, born 1958, son of Richard Roland Baumbach, born 1931 in Herndon, VA, and moved to Gloucester,VA. He was the son of Alfred Roy Baumbach, born 1905, who was the son of Roy Alfred Baumbach, born 1882 in Sterling, VA.

My father, David Roy Baumbach was born and raised in Gloucester, VA along with another brother and a sister (I think). I'm trying to find information on my grandparents but I'm having a hard time. I met them once when I was very young. I think my granddad's name was Rot but I'm not sure. Any help could put me in touch with a family I've never come to know. Thanks.

Comments

My great grandmothers father was Theodor A. W. Baumbach from Sachsen-Gohta. He must have been born in the beginning of 1800. He was an officer in the Prussian army and probably joined the French foreign legion and was stationed in Afghanistan. What we know for sure is that he then joined the Dutch Colonial Army (K.N.I.L) in Indonesia. He married and had a daughter in 1853.

I would be very glad if someone could give me some more information about him.

I stumbled upon your website some time ago, but just recently noticed the information about your ancestor's Christening. I was stunned to see that the godfather was August Baumbach from Bad Liebenstein. I'm wondering if my great-grandfather might be the same person. His name, too, was August Baumbach (His full name was Johann George Gottlieb August Baumbach, but he used August as his first name). He lived in Steinbach bei Bad Liebenstein, which is right next to Bad Liebenstein, from at least 1859 until 1873. He later lived in Coburg. He was born in Sichelreuth. Do you know anything about the August Baumbach who was your ancestor's godfather? Do you know how your family is related to him? Thanks for this great website.

Comments

Thanks this is really great. If you would like info on the Pennsylvania Baumbach's let me know. Thanks again.

My name is Carmen D. Mistichelli. I came across your web page yesterday, Oct. 3. I would like information about the back water valve you show under inventions. I downloaded your distributors. I called three of them and they didn't know what I was talking about. Please respond as quickly as possible. The valve developed by your father is probablity exactly what I'm looking for. By the way, I am a licensed master plumber in New Jersey. I haven't worked at the trade for the past 20 year but still maintain my license.

My GGGgrandfather was General-Major Karl Ludwig Von Baumbach

His daughter, Amalie, born in 1809 in Germany, came to the United States in Oct of 1852. She, her husband Martin Dippel, and 10 children arrived in NY aboard the Bremen ship, Julia.

I have some Baumbach information from the First German Presbyterian church in NY. I have never met a Baumbach or even another descendent. Most of my family is from Va- in fact Amalie and Martin Dippel's daughter (who is my GGgrandmother) settled in Charlottesville.

Do you know of anyone else who is doing research on this surname?

Cordially,

I once found a site for Baumbach Consulting located in Germany. I just checked the url and received an error message. Oh well!

I noticed that you have not provided an area for the Canadian portion of the name. When I moved to London, Ontario I noticed that there were a few Baumbachs here, besides me.

In my case, I am originally from Wisconsin, but now reside in Ontario.

Subject: Baumbach-family in Germany

 Hi there William,

it's great of you to spend so much time in creating your webpage. Well done ! I find it really comprehensive.

My name is Uli Baumbach (Hanns Ulrich) and I'm living as a German citizen in Isenbüttel, a village about       100 kilometer east of Hannover, close to Braunschweig and Wolfsburg, Niedersachsen (lower saxony)

I grew up in Bielefeld, a university-town in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

My father Hans Rudi Baumbach was born at the 02-05-1913 in Germanys' Oranienbaum, a small city in Sachsen-Anhalt.  It has a magnificent ensemble comprising the palace, park and town and was ceated at the end of the 17th century and has been largely preserved. Oranienbaum is situated east of Dessau. Here Walter Gropius founded the 'Bauhaus'and worked together with the artists, architects, designers and photographers as Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Georg Muche und Oskar Schlemmer. From here the brilliant ideas of these masters made the 'Bauhaus'-movement popular. West of Oranienbaum is the city of Wittenberg, where Martin Luther wrote his thesis and revolutionized the christian world.

My fathers father was Otto Baumbach, born 03-11-1877 in Oranienbaum and my fathers mother was Friederike Ernestine Krause, born 07-25-1876 also in Oranienbaum.  Otto Baumbachs' parents were Cristoph Baumbach, born 01-19-1835 in Oranienbaum and Wilhelmine Dorothea Schwann, born 11-25-1837.

Of course I should'nt forget my mother (thanks to her) Gertrud Anna Zurgeissel, born 06-07-1919 in Hausberge/Porta-Westfalica. Her father was Caspar Anton Zurgeissel and her mother was Catharina Elisabeth Picker.

If anybody thinks, there could be a relationship to me or my fathers history, don't hesitate to post me a Email, Internet makes the world small.

Kind regards,

Uli Baumbach

Subject: Descendants of Wm Baumbach (Canada/Nebr)

In my family notes from Rev. Walter Klipp of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Ask Creek, McCrook, Nebraska (July 27, 1976), located about 10 miles southest of McCook, Nebraska, (first lutheran church in the area and goes back to about 1884), he writes:

(1) A William Baumbach died on November 20, 1938, and was listed as having been born November 26, 1865, in Canada. In Canada, it was in the Rostock and Gads Hill Region of Ontario, Canada, and family still existed in that area (about 1970s).

(Special note: Another family surname Esch also came in

those years from Canada, as others.)

(2) William Baumbach and Margaretha Vogt Baumbach The first record is when Willliam and Margaretha came for the baptismof their daughter, Clara Rosetta Baumbach in 1894. Following are children, Edwin 1897, Lorenz Reinhard 1900 (who is my grandfather), Esther 1902, Edmund 1905, Heinrich 1907, Margaretha 1912. Then wife Margaretha died on April 10, 1914. Then daughter Thelma is born in 1918 with Magdalenda Klein as her mother. The family disappears from the records in 1919.

(3) William’s (above) son Lorenz born on March 22, 1900 is my grandfather. He was baptized on May 6 (sponsors with surnames of Ebert, Podolski, and Wagner). He was confirmed on April 5, 1914 by Rev. L. Ernst, Jr. At the age of 20, he married Clara Wilhelmina Unger, on July 5, 1920, with Gustav Unger and Lydia Leibbrandt as attendants.

Lorenz wife Clara was born on May 16, 1902, baptized on June 8, 1902 (sponsors surnames of Podolski and Wall). She was confirmed on April 22, 1917 by Rev. L. Ernst. She was age 18 when she married Lorenz. Children from this marriage were Luella Clara 5/21/1921 (my mother) Loretta Margaret 1922, Harold Lee 1923, Ivan Dale 1925 (died as an infant/other?), Marvel William 1926, Lee Frederick 1928. The last communion take in this church was in 1927, with the last baptism in 1928. Daughter Betty Lou was born in 1929.

(4) My mother took communion in May 1935 at this church, with Matt. 6, 33 as  her confirmation text. Next to the records it states, "went to Concordia, McCook, Nebraska). There now is no record of this congregation in McCook. The paster discovered that there had been a bit of trouble in the Peace Lutheran Church, and some families left the congregation.*

With this split, a paster of the ALC or English Synod was brought in and they held services in McCook. This pastor is supposed to have worked very patiently at a reconciliaton for these people and led them back to the Peace Lutheran Church congregation, and then himself, left the town with his project of reconciliation completed.

(*I remember my mother discussing the fact that there were a number of the church congregation who because they now lived in America wanted their church services performed in English rather than German.

This seems to be an explanation for the split in the congregation.)

(5) The Unger family whose daughter Clara Wilhelmina married Lorenz Baumbach first appeared in the same church records about 1884. Her father Fred F. Unger, came from Hoffnungstahl, Russia (Germans in Russia)  Hoffnungstahl was near the Odessa Seaport of Russia. That is the German name of the village before the Russians came and changed it back to a Russian name.

They came out of Russia as part of the Johann Leibbrandt Group.

BILL, I know that you are related to me. I am age 50 now, but remember visiting my mother’s Uncle Billy near Indianola, Nebraska. I think my mother’s cousin was named Howard. We spent many summers of my childhood visiting the McCook, Trenton, Bertrand, Indianaola, Nebraka regions.

When we went to Canada, there was a Baumbach (I think his name was Billy, too.). My father was stunned as he said he looked just like Uncle Billy from Indianola, Nebraska. And, both of them ‘chewed’ tobacco! There is an entire cemetery in Canada with our relatives. My father, sister, and I walked there behind the church. There is a great Candian Genealogy page that can take you to the cemetery lists. I think I found about 40 names of our ancestors in it. (try web url http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/ ) I am not certain if that is the full address but you should be able to do it with a search of Canadian Genealogy and History Links.

I know that my grandfather Lorenz has a brother in Washington State (Great Uncle Edwin) and a sister in Southern California (Great Aunt Margaret). I do not know if both are alive though. Uncle Edwin and his wife never had children. Margaret’s husband died and she remarried a man by the name of Rogers.

Hello,

My name is Zeta WILSON Peterson. My mother was a Baumbach.

I will attempt to outline very briefly what I know without my notes in front of me.

My mother was Luella Clara Baumbach (Wilson) born May 21, 1921

Her mother was Clara Wilhelmina (Unger) Baumbach born May 16, 1902

Her father was Lorenz Reinhard Baumbach born March 22, 1900

As far as I know all of them were born in Nebraska. Clara and Lorenz raised their family in the McCook, Nebraska area; later moving to Red Oak, (SW) Iowa Together Lorenz and Clara had six children:

Luella Clara Born 1921 (Mrs. Cleo Adelbert Wilson) Red Oak, Iowa Loretta Margaret Born 1922 (1^st-Rufus Core, 2^nd Merv Laire-Both Deceased)

Red Oak, Iowa

Harold Lee Born 1923 Southwest Iowa (Married)

Marvel William Born 1926 Southwest Iowa (Married)

Lee Frederick Born 1928 Southwest Iowa (Married)

Betty Lou Born 1929 (Eugene Smith-Villisca, Iowa)

I believe that Lorenz’s father’s name was William.

I do know that all of their ancestors came from a rural area of Ontario, Canada (Rostock and Gads Hill) which is north of Stratford, Ontario Canada. My sister and I personally visited the area and their are ‘numerous’ ancestors buried there.

It was explained to me that they left the Alsace-Lorraine area of Germany in the approx. 1830-1840 timeframe. There are still living relatives in Canada.

Thank you for taking the time to put forth all of your history on the internet.

My cousin Alice Baumbach Williamsen (Mrs. Dale Williamsen) would also be interested in any history that you may have. She can be copied on her email at damcwil@aol.com. She currently lives in Omaha, Nebraska. (Note most of my family are all still in the McCook, Nebraska and Southwest Iowa regions.

Below is a letter I got in the mail on 08-20-98

I am hoping to find some Baumbach relatives who for many years lived in the Alexander, Arlington area. My mother's maiden name was Baumbach. Her father, Joseph Powers Baumbachs family immigrated from Hamburg, Germany in the 1840s and settled in Washington, D.C. His was a family of musicians.

I have written a book, Family Stories Style, with attractive cover, and many photographs, that contain some family history they may not know about. I hope to find some relatives who would like to receive such a book.

This is really exciting, Im maybe one of you, but at least I have the same name and coat of arms. An old picture of it and the name Baumbach below is hanging at my parents home.

But now to myself:

My name is Katrin Baumbach (of course!) and Im 19 years old, born in Jena (near Leipzig and Dresden in Germany) on March 20^th 1979. My father, Hans-Jürgen Baumbach was born there as well as my grandfather Günter Baumbach and I think my great-grandmother Erna Baumbach (his mother) too...

I dont know more of us, sorry, but I could find out....but hey, there are so many Baumbach’s out there, how do you know, they’re all your family?

Anyway, I’d love to hear from you

I read with interest your history of the Baumbach Family. Are you related to the German Poet - Rudolf Baumbach, the famous German Poet of Children’s Literature. He was very well know in the late 19^th and early 20^th Century.

We have a bit of our family history dating back from 1695 to present, our familiy started in the USA in the NY area, and has spread out over the USA.

When did yours come over from Germany?

This may be interesting, My brothers also visited a town of Baumbach in Germany.

We have an impressive past and obviously a great future.

Right now I am searching for the name of the artist who painted "Village Blacksmith." This print hangs in the Lincoln Death Bedroom at the Peterson House in Washington. I am told the circa is 1865 Civil War era and donated by John Herring but they have no more information on it than this. I thought maybe with your family members being involved in blacksmithing it might be possible you have seen or know something about this print. I am searching all resources and so far nothing has turned up. The print I am referring to has a man bent over getting ready to remove a shoe on a white horse. There is a dog that looks maybe like a greyhound and a lady dressed in "colonial attire??" carrying a bottle of wine. If anyone in your family would have information regarding this print I would appreciate knowing any information available.

Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you.

We do not have a lot of information about our family. We do know that twin brothers

named Henry and Guido Baumbach came to Middletown, PA from Stadt-Weimer, Saxony, Germany. Their uncle in Germany was Casper Baumbach a shoemaker, weaver

and baker. In Pennsylvania Henry and Guido lived with a brother-in-law Mr. Kretzmann.

Henry moved to Norwalk, WI and Guido remained in the east. Henry had six sons,

Guido Jr.,George, John, Henry Jr., William and Albert. Guido had 3 sons and 3 daughters. This is basically all the information I have. It would be greatly appreciated

if you could provide me with a Baumbach genealogy if any of this information relates to your Baumbach family tree.

Hi -- Just checked your web site, and saw my name listed (thanks!). I now have my own web site for my company, Causalworks (i.e. spelled as in "cause and effect"), which is a much better link for other Baumbachs to get ahold of me: http://shell10.ba.best.com/~emilyb/

Thanks a bunch. Appreciate all of your hard work to get everybody together.

Cheerio,

W. J. Baumbach,

Just a note to say I really enjoyed the reading. I was visiting someone when we brough up the name Baumbach on the WorldNet...yes sir, you did a fine job and it was good reading. I din’t have time to do all the reading, but will be back when I get my other PC going.

I had one program for the WorldNet on my other PC and it crashed two months ago. I hope to format and reinstall in the near future.

The Baumbach name is common all over the world and the spelling changed many times during the life of my great-grandfather to the present day. My relatives have even used different spellings. A lot of the changing came about when people would spell names phonetically.

I am fortunate in knowing the names of most of my relatives. It would be nice if everyone knew the names of their relatives.

On thing that caught my attention on one of your pages....August Baumbach.

Any knowledge of him using a different spelling? Or ever being around El Paso, TX area or Franklin, TX? I have run across his name on paper...dated February 1860 and earlier. Changes are he is not one of your relatives, but if there is a change, I want to forward you copies.

My great-grandfather was: Otto J. Baumbach and he went by this spelling, which was the family name. He was born in the "Kingdom of Prussia" in 1831, and this territory was due east of Belgium and the Netherlands and bordered Russia on the Baltic Sea [what we now call northern Germany]. He was born in the city of Perleberg. He ran away from his father’s home at a very young age and his father located him in New York and they both returned to Prussia. He sure didn’t want to stay there, because he ran away again, leaving his father, doctor brother, and others. A large influx of germans entered the U.S. of America around that time. He married in 1851. He and his family kept the legal spelling of "Bombach".

Keep up the good work and let me know about: August Bombach.

Comments=Hi William,

After receiving several of your e-mail communications, I finally decided to look up the web site. It looks great and will be a good depository for facts on Baumbachs. I have always hoped there was more to the family than just rumors that marked us as uninterested in our background.

Larry Baumbach, my second cousin (or whatever you call someone who has the same great-grandfather)lives about a block away from me. It was because his wife, Debbie, decided to compile a family tree for their children’s heritage that I discovered a family member an a neighbor to boot. She has the most complete tree about the side of the family that resided in Wisconsin and Iowa. There are no millionaires or famous people in this cluster.

I did not find a reference to Baumbach Labs, a third party validation laboratory for water conditioning equipment in Appleton, Wisconsin. It is interesting how much plumbing I have to do in order to test the equipment. I thought I inherited my skills from my father, Oscar (dec.), and grandfather, Walter (dec.) who were sheet metal workers and part time plumbers. However, it seems that plumbing may be a family trait. At least for a family whose name literally means "tree-creek" the water part seems to have affected some of us.

Keep posting the e-mails, we nay find helpful information in side comments people make about the family.

I just discovered your BAUMBACH homepage. It looks great !!!! I am excited ... since I have been reseaching my ancestory for a few months, now. I have only "skimmed" your homepage; but I will try to study it, closer, for the next few days.

In the last week, .... Hal Baumbach <lakes@orion.tstar.net> has started a homepage on the BAUMBACH surname. see : http://www.inetport.com/~baumbach/ (DEAD LINK 05-02) Hal and I have been trying to find a link between our families for the last few months. I will make Hal aware of your homepage and let him contact you.

Initially, I just want to introduce myself and let you know that there are some BAUMBACHs out here that are very interested in what you have to say. THANK YOU !!! Please, keep up the good work.

..... Now, some gerenal info. about my ancestory :

=============================================================================

My great-great-grandfather and family came over to the USA in 1854. His name was John Henry BAUMBACH, born in 1806, and her name was Johana Elizabeth ( Illhartd ), BAUMBACH born in 1815 and they married in 8/23/1838. They were born and lived in " Cawarz by Gote, Saxon Germany ". ( Manfred Baumbach, of Cologne, Germany believes that this should be "Cabarz by Gotha", now in the country of Thuringen, Germany.) I believe that Frank Henry and Johanna E. had nine children; two of the sons named Frank Charles BAUMBACH and Henry BAUMBACH. and 2 daughters - Lisa and Lena. My grandfather, Rev. Walter Henry BAUMBACH changed his name to BAUMBAUGH about 1910.

I have a copy of a letter written in English by Henry BAUMBACH, a son of my great-great-grandfather - John Henry BAUMBACH. " Cawarz by Gote, Saxon Germany " is stated as the birth place of John Henry and his wife - Johana Elizabeth ( Illhartd ). It also states that they moved from " Cawarz to America on the 29-th of March 1852. The letter is in very neat handwriting and written in very good English. I assume that Henry BAUMBACH tried to translate his parents birthplace in his own way ?????? ( Again, possibly should be "Cabarz by Gotha", now in the country of Thuringen, Germany.)

=============================================================================

I will look closer at your homepage, and get back to you.

Sincerely,

David

Hi,

My name is Hal Baumbach. I just started a Baumbach Family Tree web page about 3 days ago. It is located at: http://www.inetport.com/~baumbach/

It is nice to find out that there are other Baumbach web pages as well. David Baumbaugh told me about your page. He inspired me to start our web page.

I will contact you again later after I have had a chance to look you site over real well.

Well, I looked and was impressed! (Looks like you’re as sick as me...i.e., you’ve got a heck of a construction job in front of you depending on the direction you take your site...bunch of possibilities).

Well, you inspired me to create a "non-Allied Family with the same surnames" page on my Hoelscher site

http://www.hostville.com/hoelscher/links.htm

Perhaps one day we’ll find the family connection. Until then, keep up the good work.

Hello William,

I enjoyed your Baumbach web site. I have book marked it for future reference.

My father was a plumber in Superior, Nebraska for about 30 years but never became a millionaire. I wish he had.

He is going to be 85 in April and still lives in Superior, Nebraska where I was raised.

I have had many different types of jobs but was never a plumber. I have owned several businesses but never a plumbing business. Like you, I also design web pages. More as a hobby than a business. I am the webmaster of 6 web pages but make only about $1,000 a month at it so far. I am also a tax examiner with the IRS, which I hope to get away from soon.

I will be 59 years old this week and am looking forward to retiremnt in a few years. I was a Russian and German Linguist in the Air Force many years ago and was able to spend 3 years in Germany. I couldn’t look up any Baumbach’s because I was isolated in Berlin which was 110 miles behind the iron curtain. I think my ancesters came from what was then East Germany.

I really enjoyed your web site. The pictures of the castle were great. I would like to go see it sometime. Who owns the castle now? Do Baumbach’s own it?

Thanks for you e-mail. My second cousin, who lives just six houses away from me but was unknown to me for nearly 60 years, and I are quite interested in the Baumbach clan. I don't think they are on the internet so I would be happy to relate any information to them.

Tell me a little more about William James Baumbach II, since we don't have any information about people out east. Most of us here in the midwest seemed to have sprung directly out of soil rather than having traceable ancestory in Europe. I think there was a reluctance on the part of our great-grandparents to claim ties to a foreign nation.

I can speak both for myself and my cousin that we would be interested in your experience in Germany.

Please keep in touch because even if there is no relationship, it would be wonderful to know a famous Baumbach or two.

James Allen Baumbach
age 58
son of a man who was just hard working father.

To: Baumbach

Hello again -- if I had read all of my mail, I would have caught this and answered it in the first e-mail. I too visted Ransbach-Baumbach in 1976. I have a photograph of myself beneath the sign. My experience was the same as yours, i.e. I found no one in the town who knew of a family name of Baumbach. In fact, as I later discovered from something my father said, the original name of our family was von Baumbach (translated as from Baumbach). At the time Germans were emmigrating from Europe in the 18th-19th centuries), it was a common practice to identify themselves by the name of the town from which they came. Many of them went to Russia before they came to the US. So finding the Baumbach family name in a German town called Baumbach would similar to finding a family name like Joe Chicago in the city of Chicago. This is why I have come to the conclusion that few, if any, of our ancestors held much affection for the Baumbach name. If my information is true, it would be very unlikely that any of us are related beyond three or four generations. Moreover, I have found that most Baumbach's are very non-communicative (private) so it would not be unusual to receive no reply to an inquiry of this type.

Hope this sheds some light on the search in Germany for missing relatives.

Jim Baumbach, I wonder who I really am?

I have got back to John Bumbaugh,Sr. b. ca. 1750. place unknown. d. in Lewistown, Pa.,Mifflin Co. I haven't gone back further but have several variations further back. In census' and passenger ship records. I found a coup;e Johannes Jacob Bombach. I'm not sure of this spelling right now as I don't have the information readily available but its close. I was wondering if you have run across this too? Since John,Sr. it has been spelled BUMBAUGH. I think it got changed sometime but don't know when. I haven't run across it yet.I do know that some of them changed their name to BRUMbaugh.

Comments=This is certainly a unique and informative site. How wonderful for future generations.
I have only begun to delve into our family's roots and am looking forward to collecting
our information.

Right now I am searching for the name of the artist who painted "Village Blacksmith." This 
print hangs in the Lincoln Death Bedroom at the Peterson House in Washington. I am told 
the circa is 1865 Civil War era and donated by John Herring but they have no more
information on it than this. I thought maybe with your family members being involved in 
blacksmithing it might be possible you have seen or know something about this print. I am
searching all resources and so far nothing has turned up. The print I am referring to has
a man bent over getting ready to remove a shoe on a white horse. There is a dog that looks
maybe like a greyhound and a lady dressed in "colonial attire??" carrying a bottle of wine.
If anyone in your family would have information regarding this print I would appreciate
knowing any information available.

Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Susie Williams

As for your family history, it's interesting because I am also building my family tree. My family is also from Germany. I still have a way to go. My husbands family tree starts in the County of Devon, England in the year of our lord 1216 AD, with Sir Roger de la Heale, Knight to King Henry III. Thanks for the opportunity to visit your people.
