I'm a Wurm. I am Benjammin James Wurm. I have alot of these same pictures in my family history book!
ReplyDeleteI have read this with great-interest. I am related to both Adam and Mary Wurm. Mary Steinebach was a sister to my 2nd Great-Grandfather, John Steinebach. Adam's mother, Barbara was a sister (half sibling) to my 3rd Great-Grandfather Jacob Mueller-Miller. Their father, Paul Miller was originally married in Gersheim, Saarland, Germany to a woman by the name of Elizabetha Vincent and had two boys one of which being my ancestor, Jacob. He later married Margaret Theis and had the other children. Jacob Miller married Helena Bendele in Ottoville, Ohio Immaculate Conception parish. The couple moved to St. Mary's, Hannah, Traverse City area of Michigan (where I am originally from and my home parish), and their daughter, Mary Miller married Ralph Kreiser from St. Mary, New Salem! So, I'm very familiar with these German families and have quite a bit of information.
