First of all, thank you for writing your 3 books on Germany. I have enjoyed each one. While on the Algermissen site, I came across this, which you may have already seen. "The stone of the rope dancer and equilibrium artist JOSEPH BRUNS stands at the artery." I was interested in the site because it is close to LUHNDE where my grandmother was born. I am just starting her family research so am interested in everthing! Her maiden name was JAGAU, born 1844.

Anyone know of the Algermissen who emigrated to St. Louis? Conrad Fehlig, of
Harsum, noted in his diary the two words, "Algermissen visited." From the
context, someone named Algermissen visited Conrad's home in Webster Groves.

Hi Bob,
in the online Findbook of the Staatsarchiv in HAnnover http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de/ I found one entry for a woman named Algermissen. The surname Algermissen is not too uncommon near Hildesheim.
Sorry this is not really a lead to mor I am afraid.
