Liebe Listenteilnehmer,
I am new to this list & have a number of questions which I'll put into separate e-mails for the sake of clarity. I apologize for writing in English (my German is much too slow), but I do understand German & will be grateful for any information that anyone on the list has to offer.
My husband was born in Hamm, Westf. & emigrated to the US with his family when he was 8. His grandfather, August Wilhelm Johann Fischer (1866-1940) was born in Hamm, but all of the Fischers prior to his grandfather lived in Kleinenberg:
Ferdinand Theodor Fischer (1835-1904) md. Anna Knaelleken & they had 3 children, all born in Hamm.
Johannes Aloysius Xavier Fischer (1799- ) md. Franziska Wilhelmina Reitemeyer (1799- ) in 1824 at St. Cyriakus Catholic Church in Kleinenberg & they had 9 children, all born in Kleinenberg. [Franziska's parents were Johan Henrich Reitmeyer (1753-1817) & Catharina Maria Siemen (? - 1817).]
Henrich Georg Fischer (1764-1836) md. Angela Hoffmeister (1761-1829) & they had 10 children, all born in Kleinenberg.
Joannes Fischer (1741-1811), born in Ossendorf, md. Maria Cath. Antonetta Roerich (1731- ) from Kleinenberg & they had 6 children, born in Kleinenberg. Maria's parents were Martin Roerich & Cath. Gert. Haxhausen.
Kann jemand mir weiterhelfen?
Vielen Dank u. Gruss aus Florida!
