Dear members of this mailinglist
I’m looking for information about my grandmother’s grandfather: Jo(h)ann Heinrich Werner Fortmann. He lived in Amsterdam, was baker there. Was married to Marie Catherine Buijel. They had a daughter: Maria Elisabeth.
I’ve read in the archives of Amsterdam that he was born in Vechta / oldenburg, in 1809. He died in 1851 in Amsterdam. I would like to know more about him: is there more family in Amsterdam, did he have brothers and sisters.
I hope someone can help me.
thanks in advance
Pauline van Kleef from Amsterdam

o, thank you so much, that really helps a lot. I rechecked his birthday-date and in my first mail i made a mistake. It was 1811 (his wife was born in 1809).
So it must be him. Now i know a bit more about him, thanks again
