This website shares family stories about the Hoffmanns from Baden, the Steinbachs from Saxony, Grünewalds from Bavaria, and Genzmers from Brandenburg. It tells about the hardships they endured and the historic events they experienced when they came to the United States. You’ll find the spelling of names varies throughout the stories since I am listing them the way they were recorded. Individuals sometimes intentionally changed the spelling of their names or careless record keepers frequently made mistakes. At times I use the phrase “I believe.” I do this when the information seems to match what I already discovered but I do not have any other corroboration for the information. I'm happy to hear from you. Please send mailto:joanwallin@me.com
