Dear fellow family history seekers,
I apologize in advance for the lengthy post� but details are some times important!
I am a great granddaughter from Friedrich Wilhelm B�HME and his second wife, Rosine Marie THIERBACH. Friedrich Wilhelm was b. 15 Sep 1830, in Soperwitz (Sornewitz?) Saxony, and d. 29 May 1910, in Lampertswalde, Kingdom of Saxony. Rosine Marie �Maria� was b. 25 Jul 1846, Kaisa, Torgau, Saxony, and d. May 1924, Teaneck, Bergen County, NJ. Their children�s names are Emilie Auguste �Augusta�(vern. H�hnel), Friedrich Wilhelm �Wilhelm�, Max Louis "Louis", Max Paul �Paul�, Marie Lina �Lena� (vern. Fritzsche), and George Willy �Willy�. The family also included two children from Friedrich Wilhelm (Sr)�s first marriage, Friedrich Gustav �Gustav� and Max Reinhold �Reinhold�, and an illegitimate son Friedrich Wilhelm�s first wife, named Friedrich Hermann. (His birth parent�s names are unknown to me. But Friedrich Hermann was adopted by Friedrich Wilhelm and used B�HME as his surname.)
Friedrich Wilhelm (Sr), Emilie Auguste, Max Reinhold and possibly Friederich Hermann lived out their lives in Germany. The rest all immigrated to the US at various times, beginning in 1878 and ending in 1923. All male �migr�s became pharmacists in the US, some settling in NY/NJ and some in San Francisco. All used Boehme as surname in US and some given names were "americanized" (Friederich Gustav became Gustav Frederick, Friederich Wilhelm became Frederick William, and Max Louis became Louis Max.)
Does any of this ring a bell with any of you? The main purpose of this query is to find out any information on those who stayed in Germany, if there is any info about the birth families of Friederich Wilhelm or Rosine Marie, and the name and vital stats of Friedrich Wilhelm�s first wife. (However, I am always interested in learning information about any of these antecedents and their families. I have done a lot of research on the US folks already and would love to make contacts with any unknown cousins!)
I would appreciate any help the list members can give me. Thank you!!!
