Hello,
I am researching the Bassendowski and Ulmer family lines.
Jacob Bassendowski was my great great grandfather, born in the Niederung area sometime between 1830-40. Eduard Bassendowski was his son, married to Florentina (Toews). My mother was told when she was young that their name was originally 'Bassen' and i am looking to go back to when the name was changed and where the family was located (and hopefully go back even further). I would also appreciate any information connected to Florentina Toews and her family line.
I am also researching my grandmother's line, the ULMERs. Johann Ulmer (born Apr 2 1841) was married to Christina Wagner (born June 11, 1841) both residing in the Gassendorf area. His father was Jakob Ulmer, married to Katharina Frick. Jakob's father was Friedrich Ulmer, married to a woman named Maria, but i don't have any other information on these people.
Any help in filling in the blanks or going further in either family line would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Joe (Hiscott)
