My great grandparents were Clemens Bernard Fortmann, b. Vectha 19 Feb 1843
and his wife Emelie Seifert, b. Bakum 25 Oct 1847. They were married in
Vechta on 6 Feb 1872 and had 13 children (all were born in Vechta). I
would like to find out more about them if possible. I have a handwitten
document, in German, that provides parents names, childrens names, dates of
birth, marriages for Clemens & Emelie. I'm not sure if it a church or civil
document but it has a seal on the bottom and was accomplished prior to their
departure for the US in 1893. Any help will be appreciated.
