My grandmother, Anna Augusta Jagau married John Friedrich Wolf 1898 in Martin County. Her last name might be spelled differently in German. Any suggestions?
August Jagau was her father, born Jul 27, 1844, died March 12, 1934 in Poland.
Sophie died at Wilhelmsau Poland. Any suggestions on where this might be?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. DB
Hello Darlene,
If you go to the Mormon (LDS) website (www.familysearch.org) and click
on Search for Ancestors--then put in the name Jagau, check exact spelling
and nothing else. You will see many people listed with that name, spelled
that way. If you want to see other spellings, don't check the exact
spelling and do the same search.
I know little about Poland, but I did some searching on Google.com for
Wilhelmsau. I found that the town "no longer exists." On another website,
it is listed as part of Wegierki or Podwegierki. You can go to
www.mapquest.com, click on Maps, then fill in Wegierki or Podwegierki and it
will show you where that town is in Poland. You can zoom in or out to get
a better perspective of where it is.
Is your grandmother Anna Augusta Jagau the person listed on this ship
from Bremen in 1881?

Good luck in your search,

The message about a town formerly in Poland interested me because my family
is from Provinz Posen. Do you know about www.kartenmeister.com? That is a
great resource for the area. It lists seven different Wilhelmsaus and their
locations.
